All is NOT well in that Trill Family. At a recent show in Chicago, Webbie attempted to perform at a “Free Lil Boosie” concert, but was dragged off stage and beat down. Why? Well, according to HHW, Webbie and his crew were dragged off stage and beatdown as the streets took offense to him “allegedly” doing “Free Lil Boosie” shows but not kicking anything back to his family. Since Boosie has been in prison, Webbie, Fox and Lil Trill have been doing ‘Free Lil Boosie’ shows and selling ‘Free Lil Boosie’ shirts but according to Boosie’s mother, the only contact from the rap world she’s received has been through Young Jezzy, Yo Gotti, Mi5led and Waka Flocka.

Peep the video from the big brawl at the club.

Atlanta Police have identified a 28 year old rapper named Young Vito (pictured above), real name Vinson Hardimon, as a suspect in the Slim Dunkin murder that occurred last week. The Police believe he was involved in fatally shooting Slim Dunkin in the chest after an altercation which supposedly took place over some candy. The authorities have issued this statement in connection with the case:

“We are urging Mr. Hardimon to turn himself in to authorities because we have reason to believe he may be in danger.”

They believe Vito may be at a risk of retaliation by those wanting to avenge Slim’s death, so it’d be in his best interest to turn himself into authorities.

Police are seeking the public’s help in finding Young Vito and said calls can be made to Atlanta Crimestoppers at 404-577-TIPS (8477) or contact the Atlanta Police Department’s homicide unit at 404-546-4235.

Recently signed G-Unit artist, Paris, spoke with DJ WhooKid on signing to G-Unit and competiting with Head Barb, Nicki Minaj.

I’m not really looking at it as competition [with Nicki Minaj], because we’re like in two different lanes, actually. She went somewhere else and I’m going somewhere else [with the music] where you can really see where I’m going in 2012. So I’m not mad at her, what she’s doing, I love what she’s doing, she’s making money and I do not oppose to any female making money. There’s only one girl in the game so how can you be mad at anything? If you want to compare me to somebody else, great, it’s somebody that’s making money. That’s fine.”

Paris on being signed to G-Unit:

I’m signed to G-Unit and I’m ready to hold them down. Whatever I have to do. I’m ‘going’ to hold them down. I’ve been working with Fif for a minute, I’ve been doing a lot of vocals for him. That’s how we actually met… I met him as a writer. I guess he just recognized the talent and I’m naturally like him anyway I guess because I’m from Southside Jamaica Queens.

Are you ready for more female emcee’s to step up???

Some may say Waka Flocka is only speaking the truth, while others may say that it’s “the pot calling the kettle black”. Either way, it has folks talking.

During a recent visit to DJ Kay Slay’s (The Drama King) radio show, the topic of “over hyped” rappers came out. Waka was ready to spill the beans on who he think is “over-hyped’ and Kay agreed that he would call a name as well. Appearantly, Waka isn’t a fan of Wiz Khalifa!

Do you agree with Waka, or does he have some nerve talking about Wiz?

SMH. Ja Rule apparently has a few stories to tell from his current stint in jail for felony weapons charges and tax evasion conviction sooooo he decided to write an open letter telling us about his escapades…

I even got into it wit these stupid niggas trying to assassinate my character talkin about I’m snitching to the guards and that I’m getting special treatment. I barked on these niggas and set em straight cause as a man there’s only so much you can take before you snap.

Check out the FULL open letter in which Ja Rule talks about racist cops, “barking on” other inmates (whatever that entails) and a touching story of how we should break the cycle of imprisonment in the black community, after the jump!
