According to All Hip Hop, Rick Ross the rapper has been indicted for pistol whipping his groundskeeper at his Atlanta home last summer. 

The Florida rapper & CEO of Maybach Music Group mostly raps about the street chronicles of famous gangsters, but now he is getting a chance to live out his own rhymes in real life. Being indicted is good for street cred in today’s music so….

Anybody know how much a pistol whipping charge holds? 

Peep the story on All Hip Hop:

Rick Ross will be facing a judge in a case where he allegedly pistol whipped a groundskeeper at his mansion with a Glock.

Ross has countered stating that the man was using is guest house as a venue for cocaine parties. Ross’ lawyers maintain that the rapper was acting in self defense as he encountered intruders on his property. They have yet to contest the actual pistol whipping.

Ross has been indicted on egregious offenses, including kidnapping, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, and possession of a firearm while committing a crime. The original incident started in June 2015.

The trial date has yet to be set.

Rapper Kendrick Lamar’s 2016 Grammy Performance 

Cali MC Kendrick Lamar has slowly carved his own lane and become one of the most prolific new age artists of today.  He’s more than a rapper, he’s a visionary and a dope MC. A voice in a thoughtless world. A refreshment.

The Compton native’s 2016 Grammys performance, a new age interpretation of the iconic Alex Haley Black history film, “Roots” set the Internet world ablaze and shined the spotlight directly on America’s racial injustice epidemic. It was also empowering all in the same.

In light of the many new current affairs, ie: Flint Water Crisis and murder and mass incarceration rates in The U.S., more and more big name artists are using their star power platforms to raise awareness about the social & racial injustices suffered by many blacks in America.

Queen Beyonce used her Super Bowl 50 comeback performance as a spotlight and ode to the Black Panther Party with an all girl militant style performance to her new single, Formation.

Protesters argue that her Panther-esque performance was somehow anti police, while most believed the performance was simply about empowerment.
Can’t win them all!
You be the judge and let me know what you think!
