LIL BOOSIE PLEADS GUILTY TO WEED CHARGES, GETS TWO-YEAR SENTENCE

LOUISIANA PAPARAZZI:

September 23, 2009

Louisiana's own, Baton Rouge rapper Lil Boosie pleaded guilty to a third-offense marijuana possession charge on Tuesday (September 22), and has been sentenced to two years in prison, reports local TV station WBRZ.
Via an agreement with prosecutors, the 26-year-old rapper (real name: Torrence Hatch) is expected to receive a 10-year sentence, but all those years will be suspended except the first two.
He must serve at least one year, before he can be released.
"I'm ready to get this behind me," Boosie told the judge Tuesday, after pleading guilty.
He's not set for sentencing on November 9th. However, the judge warned the rapper to stay outta trouble while he's free or the agreed sentence would be much more.
After being released, the rapper will be on probation for two to five years.
Boosie was arrested back in October 2008, when police found a bag of marijuana, a blunt, and a gun in a vehicle he was driving.
He was charged with third-offense possession of marijuana, which is punishable by up to 20 years in prison, and possession of a firearm with a controlled dangerous substance, which carries a mandatory minimum five-year term.
The firearm charge will be dropped after he completes his prison term and probation.
The rapper recently released his second solo album, Superbad: The Return of Boosie Bad Azz, his first new album since 2006.

C-MURDER PLANS TO APPEAL MURDER CONVICTION -- FRIENDS CITE RACISM IN JUDICIAL SYSTEM

LOUISIANA PAPARAZZI:

September 17, 2009

After losing his battle in court over a second-degree murder charge, in which he received a life sentence, rapper C-Murder revealed this week that he plans to appeal the conviction. But, he must file within 30 days.

Close friends and business associates of the rapper believe the conviction is unfounded and say racism is the heart of the issue.

"Corey Miller's life has been at the mercy of racist politicians in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana," said Tomeka, a recording artist on C-Murder's TRU label. "It is time that the public is educated on how this case was handled, and how an innocent man has been put behind bars because he is an African American rapper whose case is unfortunately being tried in Jefferson Parish. The racists have gone so far as to put up a billboard stating Corey Miller is guilty.

"So many illegal events have taken place with this case that the State Supreme Court overturned his conviction due to actions by prosecuting attorneys. In most states, these attorneys would have been disbarred," she continued.

According to Tomeka, a public protest will be held in Jefferson Parish and New Orleans in an attempt to expose racism in the judicial system within the state.

"It's amazing that this sort of thing is still happening in 2009. Corey had been hard at work attempting to rebuild his life and career," said Brett Morrow of RBC Records, who will release the rapper's new album, Calliope Click, later this month. "RBC believes in Corey and for the local Parish judicial system to attempt to sideline the rebuilding of his life by convicting him unfairly solely based on his race is an outrage."

RBC Records has contact the NAACP and are planning to protest C-Murder's arrest, in hopes of allowing the rapper to be freed and "vindicated in the court of law."

Last month, a Louisiana judge accepted a conviction for C-Murder's second-degree murder charge, despite the jury insisting twice that they could not come to a decision and were hung.
Then, that same judge sentenced him to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Despite the conviction, a new album is coming. Calliope Click drops September 29, and features guests such as Snoop Dogg, Juvenile, and B.G., among others.

ANTONIA CARTER (LIL WAYNE'S EX WIFE) & T.I.'S GIRLFRIEND 'TINY' GETS REALITY SHOW!!!

What better way to stack that paper as your man is away on some other shhh??? T.I. that is....

Apparently, BET has decided to give T.I.'s girlfriend and mother to several of his kids, "Tiny," and Lil Wayne's ex wife and mother of his only daughter, Antonia "Toya" Carter, a reality show!

These BFF's (best friends 4EVA) new reality show is inspired by their famous men, of course. Oherwise, it would not be very relevant to us! In this series, the duo will "strive to find inner-strength, peace and purpose."

Here is a synopsis:

Set in the heart of Atlanta, against the backdrop of the multi-billion dollar music industry, TINY AND TOYA follows the journey of two best friends overcoming their struggles to discover who they really are, from the inside out. They are tired of being defined by others (in the shadow of their high-profile men) and are determined to rely on each other and the strength from within to find their purpose and build a brighter future for themselves and their families.

OK. This will be interesting given that this reality show is soley based on being in the shadows of Weezy & T.I. Y'all trying to "escape" THAT now, ladies??? OK. We will be checking for this one because "Toya" is from New Orleans!!!
