Young Jeezy Says He’s The ‘Father of Trap Music’

With unmistakable resolution in his voice, yet without the slightest trace of arrogance, multiplatinum rap impresario Young Jeezy proclaimed to the overflowing crowd in the Loudermilk Conference Center, in his signature baritone, that he is the “Father of Trap Music.”

Speaking with former Huffington Post commentator and BET social critic Marc Lamont Hill, Jeezy touched upon a multiplicity of topics during the one-hour chat, including his new album, Church in These Streets, the concept behind the rapper’s new single, “GOD,” the Ferguson riots, police brutality and the #BlackLivesMovement that swept the county in a fury.
In discussing the album that comes out on the 10th anniversary of his entry into the business Jeezy said,

In a world where everyone is bringing us down as a culture, I want to uplift us because Gods don’t kill Gods, we just speak highly of each other.

Fake Cartel Boss Arrested For Instigating Crimes on Facebook

A Mexican man who pretended to be a drug cartel member on Facebook could spend six months in jail on charges of instigating crimes.

Martin Juarez Campos, a 24-year-old man arrested Saturday, claimed to be a member of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel on his Facebook page, The Costa Rica Star reported.

Campos posted threatening messages and photos and videos of armed men and luxury cars, according to a news release from the Jalisco state attorney general’s office.

The 24-year-old man last uploaded a video of him opening a gift-wrapped box containing a gold-plated pistol with encrusted diamonds, the Star reported. He thanked “El Mencho,” the nickname of the cartel’s leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes.

After his arrest, investigators determined that Campos had no ties to drug cartels or its members and posted the photos and videos to his Facebook profile for fun.

The newspaper reported that investigators discovered Campos is a forklift operator who lived in Guadalajara.

Campos is being held in the Puente Grande prison facility in Jalisco, according to the Star.

50 Cent Sues His Lawyers For $75 Million

50 Cent has filed a lawsuit against the law firm Garvey Schubert Barer because he feels like they poorly represented him in his case against Sleek Audio, Business Insider reports.

Fif filed the case in Connecticut bankruptcy court on Oct. 6th and is asking for a whopping $75 million. According to documents, the Queens rapper says that the Wall Street law firm did not “employ the requisite knowledge and skill necessary to confront the circumstances of the case.”
In 2010, 50 Cent teamed up with Sleek Audio to launch his own brand of headphones, “Sleek by 50.” When Sleek missed their launch deadline and the headphones didn’t hit the market, 50 went on to start his own headphone company, SMS Audio. In the court documents, the Power producer claims that his lawyers advised him that he would not be infringing on any intellectual rights and that Sleek Audio could not have a case against him. They were wrong.

Sleek Audio later filed a lawsuit against 50 claiming that he misappropriated trade secrets to sell his SMS Audio headphones. They ended up winning and the judge ruled that 50 had to pay them $11 million along with another $5 million for attorney’s fees.

Losing the case reportedly played a role in Fiddy filing for bankruptcy due to the expensive legal fees. A judge also ruled that he pay Rick Ross’ ex-girlfriend $5 million after it was ruled that he published her sex tape on the internet with malicious intent.
