Texas lyricist Z-Ro will be in court on March 1 to answer a felony drug possession charge from last year. Z-Ro, real name Joseph Wayne McVey, was arrested in February 2009 when authorities found him with a codeine mixture weighing over 28 grams. The rapper’s attorney Robert Jones has proclaimed his client innocent, claiming the codeine bottle was a prescription cough syrup medicine assigned to another party. "Right now, the penalty has been enhanced, so I would have to look that up to see what exactly that is, but I anticipate that he is going to trial because he didn't do anything, so the penalty is zero," Jones explained to the Houston Press blog Hair Balls. “They're trying to ramp up the charges and make him scared so he'll take something. It is nothing more than a form of intimidation. It doesn't change the facts of the case at all." Z-Ro has released 13 solo albums since 1998. Some of his critically-acclaimed LPs, such as 2006’s I’m Still Livin’, were released while the rapper was incarcerated.Last year, Z-Ro was found not guilty for misdemeanor marijuana possession. In 2003, Z-Ro served time for a codeine conviction that violated his parole. Citing his music and industry colleagues, Jones believes his client is telling the truth and would have been ready to face any consequences if he were guilty. “Everybody who knows his music has told me that he is a purist. And he's just an honest, forthright person. If he did it, he'll say he did it,” Jones stated. Z-Ro’s latest studio album is 2009’s Cocaine, which featured appearances from Gucci Mane, Lil Flip, Mike D, and Big Pokey.

In October, Hot Boy brethren Juvenile spoke of the incarcerated fourth member of the late '90s super-group of Lil Wayne, B.G., Juvenile and Lil Turk. "I wish I could have him out here right now, but bruh, it is what it is,” said Juve of Turk. “He locked up in Tennessee. They got laws down there dude that’s from what…the 1800s. And by that being the situation, being against the police… I put some money up and everything to get him out dude, so it ain’t like we not behind him to get him out and we don’t wanna see him free, he’s just in a situation where it’s 'Johnny Law' and he don’t wanna see him free."
Juvenile, Mannie Fresh and Lil Wayne have all lost family members to tragedy in the course of their decade-plus careers.

Waka Flocka Not Concerned With Identity Of Assailant that shot him and took his chain!!!!!!
Last week, a man claiming to have been responsible for shooting rapper Waka Flocka Flame sent a picture of himself with Flocka's stolen diamon chain.But according to MTV News, the young rapper isn't sweating it, and is instead choosing to move on."I don't know [if it was actually the gunman] 'cause I didn't even see who shot me," said Flocka, sarcastically adding, "I thought a dog shot me. I thought a bird shot me. It's stupid."Flocka already has a new chain to replace the old one. "This is round two," he said of the new piece.The rapper even took time to thank his assailant, saying, "I ain't worried about you. I appreciate you too. You got me sacked up, real talk. I got a stupid house off you, cars off you. I appreciate you, man."Flocka had no explanation for why a man who supposedly attempted murder would incriminate themselves, though he says he's washed his hands of it. "It is what it is. Y'all said enough. I did enough...Let them live their life, I'mma live my life." Waka Flocka Flame is signed to Gucci Maine label.
Suge Knight's Assets Auctioned After Failure To Pay Bills
This past weekend, possessions of Death Row Records founder Suge Knight were sold off in order to pay off storage debts. Several crates of the mogul's furniture, clothing and gym equipment were auctioned off to California buyers after he failed to pay Conejo Valley Moving & Storage owner Joe Furmidge, according to the Ventura County Star. The assets came from Knight's former Malibu mansion which was also sold in 2008 following an '06 bankruptcy. Auctioneers Dan and Laura Dotson said that the Hip Hop businessman's fame attracted a number of potential buyers. "The name that is behind it," said Laura Dotson, "I think a lot of curiosity is here and people wanting to own a little bit of that."According to the newspaper, a flat-screen television was sold for $230, a large photo with Knight and late Rap artist Tupac Shakur went for $100, and other items were sold for relatively low prices. The auction garnered $4,500, which almost covered Knight's bill."It didn't quite cover what he owed us, but almost," said Furmidge. "That's better than a stick in the eye."

Russell Simmons tells on Jay Z!!!!
February 24, 2010. As most people in the entertainment industry know, Russell Simmons is a big HATER – especially towards other BLACK FOLK!!! But who knew that the levels of HATERATION would get to this level.Russy gave an interview yesterday with New York’s very conservative republican newspaper, the NY Post, and in it he suggested that rapper Jay Z and the NY Governor were in some kind of CORRUPT DEALING. You’ll recall that HMF ENTERTAINMENT.com reported a few days ago that FEDERAL AGENTS are already looking into Jay Z’s dealings.Here is how the paper is reporting it:
Simmons said the firm he advises -- Penn National Gaming -- and not AEG should have won the contract to operate 4,500 video-lottery terminals at the faded horse racing facility. "Why didn't the leadership just take the best deal for the people? [Jay Z’s deal] just wasn't the best deal for New York . . . Can any of my dear friends in New York government tell me where and when did it all go wrong . . . They offered the most money to the state, by $100 million, up front. They can pay the fastest because they have the money in the bank," Russy can’t stand to see another Black man beat him at his own game, but come on. His SNITCHING could end up getting Jay Z locked up!!!There ain’t nothing worse than an old azz hater . .
