Suge Knight wanted for beating & robbing Yukmouth?


Suge Knight is a wanted man once again. The former Death Row Records head honcho allegedly beat and robbed rapper Yukmouth last night ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.  Sources say it all went down at around 10 PM at a Ralph's supermarket in the San Fernando Valley.  According to a law enforcement source, Suge and roughly 10 members of his posse allegedly beat up Yukmouth and then took $92,000 worth of jewelry from him.
Sources say Suge and his entourage are suspects and cops want to question them.  We're also told there's a previous misdemeanor warrant out for Suge's arrest -- which makes it unlikely he'll visit the police department.

Sauce Money - Sniper Shot



It's good to hear from Sauce Money. I always digged his music from the back in the 90's during the Roc days.
If you're not familiar with Sauce Money, i suggest you do some YouTube searching seriously!

He caught the entire music industry's attention for good in 1998 when he penned the lyrics for Puff Daddy's Grammy Award winning mega hit tribute to Biggie Smalls "I'll Be Missing You." "I knew the song was going to be big, because BIG was so loved," Sauce explains in his familiar, husky voice. "But I had no idea it would win so many awards.

I guess it was meant to be because I wrote the song in minutes." Sauce went on to write songs for artists such as BLACKStreet and Shaquille O'Neal among others. Although ghostwriting continues to be a lucrative gig for Sauce, it is when he is spitting his own lyrics that he is the most dynamic and dangerous.

Rhymefest – BongoBoy Interview




Last Saturday we made a trip out to Harlem, NY to meet up with Grammy wining artist Rhymefest. Rhymefest is one of the nicest and real people I ever met. When I say real i mean super down to earth. As you cantell by the video instead of staying in a 5 star hotel he would rather stay with his friends in the projects. I really recommend you watch this video to see some one who is raping for the right reasons. – Bongo Boy

The building you see behind Ogee (at 0:56) has been Lamont Coleman’s home for the fast 24 years he lived : 104W 139th Street. The park where we stand is the place where he used to hang out and rhyme at with his friends from the Children of the Corn (COC) crew : Cam’ron, Ma$e, McGruff and Bloodshed.
11 years ago, at 8:30 pm, Big L was shot and killed a block away from here, on 45 W 139th . In the heart of what he used to call the Danger Zone.

MTV BANS KANYE FROM HAITI RELIEF TELETHON



 George Clooney won't let Kanye be in his telethon, to help the victims of Haiti, which will be broadcast around the world tomorrow.
Kanye West's reputation precedes him: George Clooney's telethon is going out of its way to keep him out. "After what he said on the Katrina telethon and the way he behaved at the MTV Video Music Awards, everyone agrees it's just best that he does not participate," said a producer. "Kanye has to make everything about himself. He will do anything to steal the spotlight, and, well, this night it's just not about him."

Music Legend Teddy Pendergrass Passes Away!




We just received word that soul and R&B legend Teddy Pendergrass has died.
Pendergrass started his career with The Cadillacs before moving on to The Blue Notes (where he had the massive hit "If You Don't Know Me By Now"). Pendergrass would go on to launch a highly successful solo career and released hit singles like "The More I Get the More I Want," "Close The Door" (celebrated in the Eddie Murphy hit THE NUTTY PROFESSOR), "I Don't Love You Anymore" and "Turn Off the Lights."
In 1982 Pendergrass was involved in an automobile accident and paralyzed from the waist down. He announced his retirement from the music industry in 2006. He had been fighting illness in recent month including a lengthy hospitalization at Bryn Mawr Hospital.
Global Grind sends our condolences to his family and his fans!  We will miss Teddy!
