Chuck D of Public Enemy Fight The Power Artwork

Chuck D of Public Enemy filed suit again Universal Music group for allegedly underpaying of royalties on digital downloads

The lawsuit was filed in San Francisco federal court and alleges that UMG routinely miscalculates the royalties owed to artists for digital downloads, such as MP3s and ringtones, by treating them as "sales" of physical records rather than "licenses."

Chuck D's lawyers announced at Hausfeld LLP saying that UMG has underpaid hundreds of millions of dollars in royalties and pointed to a decision in 2010 by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that offers some precedent that digital downloads should be treated as "licenses."

"This complaint suffers from serious flaws and weaknesses, not the least of which is that the claims asserted are not appropriate for class treatment," a UMG spokesperson tells THR. "We will vigorously defend against it."

Southern Rapper T.I. Sentenced to 11 Months in Jail

T.I. is heading back to prison, after a federal judge revoked the rapper's probation and sentenced the rap star to 11 months in prison for possessing drugs in September in Los Angeles. T.I. appeared in court today (October 15th) for a hearing that started at 2:00PM, flanked by his team of lawyers that included Ed Garland, Steve Sadow, Don Samuel, Janice Capek, Kristen Wright and Dwight Thomas. The courtroom was packed, as he stood before Judge Charles Pannell Jr. Prosecutors chastised the Grammy Award winning rapper for violating the terms of his federal probation for attempting to purchase machine guns and silencers in October of 2007 and wanted to send him away for two years. During the hearing, a small fire broke out on the side of the courthouse, causing a stir, but the proceedings continued. The rapper's defense attorneys argued that drugs in his system were the result of a root canal and T.I. admitted to using the drugs, after he had dental surgery. The rapper asked the judge to sentence him to rehab for a drug addiction, but he was sentenced to the 11 months in prison, instead.

Iron Man Mixtape Review 2 by Jay

Review 2 of The Ironman Mixtape CD by DJ Emir



Like its predecessor, The Transformers Mixtape, DJ Emir's new monster hit mixtape, the Iron Man Mixtape is making a huge splash in the mixtape circuit. After going all out on the previous mixtape and recieving several awards including the honor of VIP Nightclub Magazine mixtape of the year, DJ Emir simply had to go all out and try to out do his previous Nine mixtapes.

The monster mix session known as The Iron Man Mixtape is a monumental movement to bring back the true essence of real mixtapes, that is bring back mixtapes that are actually mixed. Real scratches, transforms, mixes, juggles, remixes, blends and dope overall DJ skills, yes folks, that's what real mixtapes are made of. Gun Shots, excessive yelling, lack of creativity and compiling songs just to get them out faster than the other guy... That's what fake mixtapes are made of.

Time and Time again DJ Emir manages to put out some of the best Real mixtapes we've ever heard. He mixes so fast and hard that Emir plays, as KRS One put it in his song the DJ "Only One to Two verses, just keep the party moving" Emir's mixes are hard fast and smooth, the entire mixtape flows from one song to the next with dope transitions and even tighter remixes. How else do you fit 62 tracks on One CD?!

Some of the remixes are so much better than the original songs that they actually became our new favorite songs of the moment. For example, DJ Emir's remix of 50 Cent Get Money was straight fire especially the spots where Emir caught the accapella and cut up the track with his scratch skills. Dude seriously was killing it on that remix! Same with his crazy intro.DJ Emir's Iron Man Mixtape is a 10 as far as DJ skill and overall entertainment go. Our advice to DJ Emir, just keep 'em coming! - Jay of The Great Hip Hop Blog

Transformers Mixtape Crowned Mixtape of The Year

Mixtape of The Year: And The winner is...
DJ Emir Transformers Mixtape



Our pick for Mixtape of the year was an easy landslide winner. DJ Emir's Transformers Mixtape simply blew past the mixtape competition. The sophistication, level of the mixing and overall production made this an instant mixtape classic and an instant office favorite. Many of us recieved the mixtape over 8 months ago and are still banging it in our rides to this day! That says a ton considering most of us listen to a mixtape only once or twice before getting bored and moving on.

The mixes on the Transformers Mixtape were very well thought out and put together with a mastery rarely found on other mixtapes. The mixtape game has been "transformed" back to it's roots, "the ultimate party in a box." You won't find fade outs, overt yellin or gunshots covering song fades, the only fades you'll find on The Transformers mixtape is DJ Emir cutting it up with the fader. Real mixing, surprising remixes, superior mix sets and a true mixtape theme that tie this mixtape together and transform it into an instant mixtape classic worthy of the title Mixtape of the Year

Guess we weren't the only Ones that were ultra impressed by DJ Emir's Transformers mixtape it was our pick for mixtape of the year as well and we made sure everyone we encountered in our travels and everyone we worked with, hung out with or partied with had a listen to our pick for mixtape of the year. Apparently others thought the same way and the Mixtape was also labelled mixtape of the year by Two other publications including VIP Nightclub Magazine and the Mixtape Review Board.

If you don't already have the Transformers Mixtape we highly recomend that you go get it as soon as possible. From what we heard the supplies for the mixtape were dwindling down to almost zero and they had to order another batch to meet the demand. So don't miss out on One of the hottest mixtapes in recent history. Get your copies today at www.DJEMIR.com

we would also recommend other mixtapes in the series including the StarWars Mixtape the Drunken Master Mixtape, and the Last Dragon Mixtape Also look for future releases at www.DJEMIR.com including the highly anticipated Ironman Mixtape which Emir assured us would be ready to ship by the time we wrote this review. We anxiously await to see if he can reproduce or top the Transformers mixtape in style and quality.

Jay-Z & Beyonce: Look at All These Rumors Can't Take it No More

Representatives for Jay-Z have once again shot down reports that the superstar rapper/mogul has married his world famous girlfriend, singer/actress Beyonce Knowles.

"The reports are not true," a member of the rapper’s inner-circle

While the representative denied the claims, reports continue to come from other sources, who report that the pair were married during a secret ceremony at Giorgio Armani’s house in Paris, France.

The rumors state that the pair opted for matching tattoos on their ring fingers as opposed to traditional wedding bans.

The rumors were recently given credibility, when the superstar couple was spotted in public sporting matching "IV" [forever] tattoos on their ring fingers.

Sources also claim that Beyonce is pregnant with Jay-Z’s child. This is the third time the rumor has surfaced since October 2005.

In a recent report in The Mirror, a source close to Beyonce claims that she is indeed pregnant with Jay-Z‘s child.

"Beyonce is giving nothing away," the source claimed. "She's always been close to her parents and open about wanting a large family of her own one day."

Nate Dogg Suffers A Stroke- Singer/Rap Artist in Rehab

Reps for artist Nate Dogg have officially confirmed the state of his medical condition, following reports earlier this month that the singer suffered a stroke in late December.

His manager, Rod McGrew confirmed last night that Nate Dogg, born Nathaniel Hale, was left paralyzed on the left side of his body, by what was described as a mild stroke shortly before the Christmas holiday.

The 39-year-old singer, known for his collaborations with Hip-Hop artists from Warren G to Ludacris, is currently being treated at an occupational rehab facility.

McGrew went on to say that although Nate Dogg has some "neural-muscular issues that have to be jump-started," he has not suffered any brain damage and his voice has not been affected by his current condition, McGrew told MTV News.

"Time will tell everything, obviously," McGrew added. "But based on situations with similar people his age, and based on his health, the prognosis is good right now."

McGrew’s comments come only days after various websites posted audio of the 911 phone call placed from Nate Dogg’s girlfriend, to paramedics.

Nate Dogg was reportedly treated at Panoma Valley Hospital from December 19 to December 26.

On behalf of the singer and his family, McGrew has asked that Nate Dogg be granted the needed privacy to continue on his path to recovery.
