RAPPER SHAWTY LO'S EX-FIANCE/BABY MAMA ARRESTED FOR CARRYING STUN GUN INTO COURTHOUSE.

Rapper Shawty Lo’s longtime girlfriend and baby mama, Ecreia Perez, was arrested for carrying a loaded weapon into the Fulton County courthousePerez was taken into custody on Tuesday (Aug. 31) after police say she tried to sneak a stun gun “cleverly disguised” as a cell phone into the Fulton County Superior court.When she was stopped and searched, police also found a loaded handgun in her possession.

Perez told police that she simply forgot the items were in her purse. There are indications that Perez may have been arrested for publicity purposes due to her notoriety. She was most likely arrested because they knew who she was.It is not unusual for women in Atlanta to carry stun guns for their personal protection. It is easy to forget the item is in your purse especially if you are in a hurry.

Perez’s bail was set at $6,000 and she was released yesterday.Perez and rapper Shawty Lo announced their engagement in June. But Shawty, real name Carlos Walker, broke off the engagement to his girlfriend of 10 years after he caught Perez allegedly cheating on him.“Things happen. I can’t point no fingers (sic),” said Shawty in an interview with MTV. “We were separated, the engagement lasted probably a month.

It was a 10-year relationship.”He added: “Something happened that I found out. Me, being a man, you just can’t deal with certain stuff, put up with certain stuff. So, you know, it’s better for us to separate. I can’t talk about it. That my daughter’s mother. I got much respect for her. … (But) yeah, I’m single right now.” The couple have a daughter together.

MEANWHILE TINY TWEETS HER FANS TO THANK THEM FOR ENCOURAGING WORDS.

Tiny tweeted her fans for all the encouraging words they left her on Twitter. It is so good to be laying down in your own clean bed at the end of the whole ordeal. Pls everyone, let the justice system take it's course. I cannot comment at this time. There are too many reports coming out of Los Angeles right now. I don't even know what drug and who had the drug in their possession in that car.

IS T.I'S ARREST A DELIBERATE EXAMPLE OF DRIVING WHILE BLACK?

Grammy Award winner T.I.’s arrest in Los Angeles for drug possession has bewildered former Atlanta Mayor Andy Young, who counseled the performer on his “road to redemption” after the rapper pleaded guilty to federal drug charges.

The news of the arrest hurts his heart, said Young, who officiated T.I’s South Beach wedding in July.“He not only has a successful marriage going for him and some wonderful children but his new movie is a big hit,” Young told the AJC.T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., and his new wife, Tameka Cottle, were arrested Wednesday night in West Hollywood when T.I. made an illegal U-turn.

A Los Angeles deputy said he smelled marijuana coming from inside his luxury Maybach automobile. According to the entertainment Web site TMZ , the deputy then found drugs, reported to be in the same class as methamphetamine and ecstasy.T.I.'s publicist declined to comment.

“There’s another culture in L.A. that I don’t understand,” Young said. “Most people in Los Angeles would wonder why he was stopped … I don’t know why they should have been stopped ... When a black man is stopped and not speeding … you call that driving while black.”Young noted a bit of symmetry between T.I.'s life and the role he plays in his just-released movie, "Takers."“I didn’t particularly like him doing the movie,” Young said, explaining that the message was wrong. “Part of my hope was he would have a cultural shift as well as a personal shift."

In the movie, which the 29-year-old produced, T.I. plays a career criminal and gang member named "Ghost" who has just been released from prison. "Ghost" almost immediately starts planning a bank heist that is bigger than the one that previously sent "Ghost" to prison.

CANADIAN EXPLOSION: TEASERS WE CAN'T WAIT FOR (BIG PAGE-ADDICTED TO MONEY)

Page is a rapper that has resurrected the spirit of Notorious B.I.G. There is just something about both of them that I cant quite pick out. It's like the SAME person. As a result, Page has developed his own style of things. I won't say he "copies" Biggie in any form. The JUNO nominated rapper has this teaser where somewhere in the United States, him and some masked goon are making crack in a crack house and who knows what's next?

This clip brings back the spirit of the drug filled neighborhoods in the 80's and I sure hope this is a documentary music video of some kind because as you know, Big Page is not American. He is Canadian of African descent and may be trying to illustrate something else here. Canadian artists are doing it artistically BIG! And oh yeah he was the one who wrote and rapped the song you like "I'm still fly" featuring Rapper Drake. That is a 2010 JUNO nominated rap song. The version below is the one you should be watching with lots of bass and 1.5 million hits on YouTube.

CANADIAN EXPLOSION: TEASERS WE CAN'T WAIT FOR (MARCUS VOYCE FEAT HARVEY STRIPES) "DIARY GIRL"

Marcus Voyce's Official Single 'Diary Girl' Featuring Harvey Stripes (Directed By Sharpshooter) is one hell of a video the whole of Canada wants to see now! For starters, Canadian honey and dynamic video model Alana Stewart is in it. I am trying to guess the story line so bad. I see a nice condo at the Lakeshore. The million dollar ones downtown Toronto and Alana is the one Marcus is there to see. Harvey is driving the Lambo cos he own it, Marcus is his rich friend and there are some honeys on the stairs dancing. I'M LOST! Please release this video!!!!!!!

CANADIAN EXPLOSION: TEASERS WE CAN'T WAIT FOR (LADY LYRIX)

This is the teaser for the upcoming video Escape from the Books, by Laydee Lyrix for First Tracks 2010. Shot by Big Soul Productions @ Forrest Hill Collegiate on August 10th 2010. I am feeling the music. Just in case you didn't know, this song has a "Drak-ish" theme to me in the sense that ironically, this is the high school Drake dropped out of. He attended Forest Hill Collegiate in a rich Jewish section of Toronto but never graduated. So Lyrix needs to show this video to Drake and make him come back to school and get his diploma in a 30 day reality show. Great idea??? LOL! Drake "escaped" from the books. I met her ironically at the 2008 Canadian Idols auditions in the line. Watch this below... (6:48) Great interview 2 years ago....The sky's the limit.

CANADIAN EXPLOSION: CAN'T TOUCH US - VALENTINE, JESSICA LEIGH & ABEL.

Valentine is Bryan Valentine featured recently in Kingston This Week, a hugely popular South Eastern Ontario, Canada newspaper. His beats are just unique and so different. In this song "Can't Touch Us", Valentine teams up in a collab where Jessica Leigh Allen sings the hook and Abel is also rapping in there too. This is a blast! I have listened to this song 50 times today.

CANADIAN EXPLOSION: ROCK BOTTOM IS A CANADIAN YOUNG BAND TO WATCH OUT FOR.

Rock Bottom Picture Source: Facebook

Their song Midnight Black is a classic rock song. We wish Slash could now listen to this and tell us if Rock in Roll is really dead. It's alive here in Canada. Think about this, they are teenagers but when I got this song link and listened to it, I heard parts of Anvil laced with April Wine especially when those guys were all younger.

Myles Goodwin said at the 2010 Junos that he still believes in the instrument and that although YouTube is here and everyone can put music up, he's not crazy about it and prefers music playing younger artists with their instrument in full view. "If you are going to put that into the tubes, then I'm fine."

Midnight Black is ready for the rock and roll game, start making videos, maybe one or two and networking heavily with media. I see a JUNO in less than 2 years if they keep up with this. They have been touring all year on weekends and the summer and are very hard working. Listen to Midnight black here and join their Facebook fan page below. Awesome band. Below is their profile.

"Rock Bottom is the newest evolution in rock music in Canada. What an awesome band" Ms Kemi@ HipHossip Music Blog.

Rock Bottom was formed in 2008 from high school stock. Each member possesses a deep and abiding appreciation for classic rock and an uncompromising work ethic that saw Rock Bottom perform more than 100 gigs in 2009.

Despite their tender years – the oldest being 18 - Rock Bottom has opened for the likes of 6-time CCMA nominated AMBUSH, opened for north America’s number one KISS tribute band Dressed to Kill, opened for the Trevor Walsh group, appeared with the Abrams Brothers, been featured on TV, radio and more.

Rock Bottom’s attention to tone, presentation, and providing something for everyone has recently seen them venture into modern country as they present a 60/40 mix of classic rock with modern country. Rock Bottom’s ability to put their edge on country music presents a tastefully high-octane country rock sound.

As a professional circuit band Rock Bottom provides 4 high-energy 45-minute sets that conclude with their fans yelling for encores.

Tyler MacDonald - Lead Guitar, Vocals

Chris Lafontaine - Bass, Vocals

Brendan Garofalo, Rhythm Guitar, Vocals.

Dan Killen - Drums, Percussion

WIZ KHALIFA TURNS DOWN TOURING FOR DRAKE AND WANTS TO BUILD HIS OWN BRAND.

The Whiz turned down the opportunity citing that he wants to make it big on his own.

“I’m real happy for Drake and real proud of Drake…I was lookin’ on the Internet and that made $10 million this year. So maybe when I make $10 Million then we can tour. We can do like some special dates or some surprise guest type thing, but I need 10 mil’, too, Drake.”

Good move and keep doing your thing. He is due for Canadian tour this September. More here on the rejection.
