Yo, I've been watching Lil Scrappy closely over the past couple of months and I've noticed how Atlanta has seemed to have abandoned our boi. Why aren't we doing more to support him? Though Atlanta is known for putting southern hip-hop on the map, we're also known for supporting our people like no other city on earth.
T.I. for damn sure gets his love in Atlanta. Ludacris gets it too, so why have we all seemed to have deserted Lil Scrappy? It appears that his new album is a bust, his newest video "Gangsta Gangsta" with Lil John isn't even being talked about by anybody. What's up with that?
Could his affiliation with G-Unit, or G-Unot have been the problem? Or could he have been yet another victim to the sophomore jinx? We all know Scrap from the undaground mixtape scene—so tell me why we've seemed to have left him by the curbside?
Music critics were pretty harsh on Scrap with his newest lyrical efforts. Amazon.com said: "Half sorry, half party--crunk gets real!"
As expressive, and outspoken as my dedicated readers are, I want to know why Atlanta isn't standing behind Lil Scappy? Is he Poppin or Floppin?
Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard will seek criminal charges, including felony murder, against three Atlanta narcotics officers involved in a botched drug raid that resulted in the shooting death of an elderly woman, according to a proposed indictment.
The proposed indictment drawn up by the prosecutor's office names officers Gregg Junnier, Jason R. Smith and Arthur Tesler. Howard accuses them of felony murder, aggravated assault, false imprisonment, burglary, making false statements and violation of oath.
This is a Hip-Hop site so I really can't go into it any further. But if you live in Atlanta, then you all know this has been a hot issue every since it happened towards the end of last year.
Check your local paper, and broadcast news for more info.
Lata,

Kim Kardashian may count Paris Hilton as one of her closest friends, but that doesn't mean she wants to follow in her exact footsteps.
The socialite and daughter of late O.J. defense attorney Robert Kardashian will be filing a lawsuit to try to stop the DVD release of a three-year-old sex tape featuring her and actor-rapper Ray J, who she was dating at the time the video was made, E! News learned Thursday.
Vivid Entertainment shelled out $1 million to an undisclosed third party for the tape and is planning to add Kim Kardashian Superstar to the homemade adult entertainment canon in the near future, despite objections over the deal's legality.
"We are comfortable that we have the legal right to distribute this video, despite what others may say," Vivid cochairman Steven Hirsch said.
Those "others" are saying nay.
"Everyone is pretty disappointed and very confused as to what's going on and who's behind this," Kardashian, who says that she and Ray J have remained friends, told E! News. "We're just going to get to the bottom of this and do whatever we have to do to stop it."
She also said she's doesn't suspect her ex-boyfriend of turning the tape over to the porn peddlers.
"I've always said I don't think this would be something that he would do for some reason to spite me," Kardashian said.
The 26-year-old Ray J, born William Ray Norwood Jr., is the brother of Brandy and costarred on her UPN sitcom Moesha.
Kardashian, a stylist and fashion designer whose fame is also due in part to the high-profile crowd she hangs out with, is the stepdaughter of Olympic gold medalist Bruce Jenner and stepsister of The Hills' Brody Jenner. She was married briefly to music producer Damon Thomas and his since been linked to Nick Lachey, rapper the Game and, most recently, hip-hop artist Nick Cannon.
But although the pretty brunette appears more than happy to pose for the paparazzi while spending a night out on the town with Hilton 'n pals, she insists that she's not interested in giving the public a more explicit picture of her.
"Have there been tapes? Maybe, yes," she said Thursday on E!'s Daily Ten. "But are they for sale? No. Not for sale. That's our business."
"I don't feel like I really did anything wrong," Kardashian continued. "I was in a relationship, very much in love…It's humiliating; it's embarrassing. It's something I feel very betrayed by but I'm not pointing any fingers."
Pointedly denying rumors that she was actively involved in trying to sell one of her racy home movies, Kardashian, who co-owns the Calabasas boutique Dash with her sisters Kourtney and Khloe, said in a written statement to the New York Daily News: "I'm not poor; I'm not desperate. I would never attempt to sell a tape. It would humiliate me and ruin my family. I have two successful businesses, and I don't need the money."
Kardashian will be showing off her body this year, but only in hip-hop producer Christopher Stokes' multimillion-dollar ad campaign for his new street-wear line, Christopher Brian Apparel—some of which features Kardashian, who will also design some pieces for Stokes, in topless-yet-tasteful (i.e. no bare breasts) situations.
Word has it that Kurupt and his wifey to be Gail Gotti are working on a new album together called Fatal Attraction. It's supposed to drop this summer. A hip hop couple duet album? Hmmmm. Kurupt has some new music and vids on his myspace page.
?uestlove recently gave some details to media sources about The Roots' new album. They hope to drop in October of this year or February of next year. In an interview with Billboard,?est said:
"We are using a lot of synthesizer, but I don't know if I could call this the electronic album or not. Pretty much five or six songs are done, and four of them are synth-heavy."
The Roots are nominated for 2 Grammys (including Best Rap Album) and are throwing a pre-Grammy party ft. Akon, Lupe, and Jill Scott.
A party went down last night in NY for the Cherry Coke Debut of the new can design by Jay-Z's Rocawear :

Cuba and Zab Judah

Today is the 7th anniversary of the death of Big Pun. R.I.P.

Congrats to Jermaine Dupri. Dude was just named President of Island Urban Music.
Y'all know what this is...
As previously reported by SOHH, Dupri recently stepped down from his position as president of urban music at Virgin, apparently after the lackluster sales of Janet Jackson's latest release 20 Y.O., which Dupri co-executive produced.
But while you were wondering why Ray J and Kim were so damn adamant about there not being a sex tape, when they clearly used up at least a dozen tapes over the course of this filming, we were making note of R. Kelly's antics to avoid his child pornography trial and compiling our
