Chris Brown Considering Buying His Lawyer A Lamborghini After Hit & Run Case Dismissed [Video]


 Chris Brown's lawyer is most likely already compensated very well financially by his star client, but Breezy is thinking about throwing in something extra.

Attorney Mark Geragos worked his magic and got Chris' hit-and-run cases dismissed yesterday. Brown and the victim Olga Gure-Kovalenko worked out a civil compromise much to the chagrin of the L.A. City Attorney, who wanted the singer's probation revoked, which could have resulted in jail time.
Olga didn't want Chris prosecuted because the June accident was a minor fender bender that caused little to no damage to her vehicle.

The judge in the case sided with Chris and Geragos by dismissing the case ending the legal drama.


Mark Geragos

"The case never should have been filed in the first place.  It's unfortunate he was being prosecuted for who he is rather than what he's done," Geragos told TMZ.


TMZ caught up with Chris last night in Hollywood. He said he was happy to have the case behind him and was considering buying Geragos a Lamborghini. Watch the footage below.

Which Emcee Has Recorded The Best Response To Kendrick Lamar's 'Control' Verse?




Kendrick Lamar has done something incredible with his verse on "Control." He's lit a spark that Hip Hop has been missing. There has probably never been this much buzz over a rapper's lyrics ever. The song is not Big Sean's anymore, it belongs to Kendrick.

Whether or not you agree with everything he said, the facts are still the facts.

There have been a number of responses to the song by some really great lyricists. I think it's time we take a poll to decide who has recorded the best comeback.

Waka Flocka Says "F*ck" Gucci Mane. Gets At Him On Twitter "That Ice Cream Cone Getting To Your Head" [Video]




The conflict between Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka Flame is escalating. As previously reported, Gucci offered to sell Waka's 1017 Brick Squad contract for $1 million earlier this week.




Waka, who is currently touring overseas fired back by having the crowd at one of his concerts diss Gucci by yelling "f*ck that n*gga."

The Brick Squad Monopoly boss wasn't done there. He just took to Twitter to fire more shots at his former friend.





"That IceCreamCone getting to your head homie," Waka wrote. "I was Trynna let this sh*t ride till YOU tweeted bout that cheap a$ million IceCreamCone. #TwitterThuggg You know where I live and hang. Why tweet a n**** a million miles away?"







This whole things started back in May when Gucci first let the world know there was a problem between the two when he called Waka disloyal and said he was dropped from the label.






Gucci later said his Twitter was hacked, but that obviously wasn't the case.



In a new video, Waka accused his soon to be ex-boss of trying to use him to promote his just released World War 3 mixtapes.



"A n*gga will do anything for mixtape promo," said Waka. "[He] might just suck d*ck to go platinum."

Foxy Brown has seen the best and worst the music business has to offer. She's had hit records, a well publicized feud with Lil Kim and been the subject of numerous negative rumors.

During her appearance on MTV's RapFix Live on Wednesday (August 14) the rapper broke down in tears while speaking about always having to defend herself.



"When it's just completely redundant. When it's just negative stuff being said constantly it becomes annoying. It becomes tiring," Foxy told Sway and Big Daddy Kane"I have tears in my eyes right now because what I've been through, you guys don't understand. The fact that somebody can just lie and it becomes a trending topic, where everybody is talking about it, and you have to constantly come out of the booth and stop what I'm doing to defend a lie. You know me I'm far from weak, I'm as strong as they get. I have the heart of a soldier, but after a while it becomes let her live. Let her live."

Tahiry Lands Role In The Film 'King of Paper Chasin’ 2: Certified'





Tahiry Jose continues to expand her résumé. The actress/singer/model has landed a role in the upcoming film King of Paper Chasin’ 2: Certified.



“I am beyond grateful for this amazing opportunity to enter into the world of acting by joining the cast of King Of Paper Chasin’ 2: Certified,” Tahiry said, according to BernadetteGiacomazzo.com. “Ever since I was young girl, it has always been my dream to be on the big screen, so when I was asked to be a part of this movie, I jumped at the chance! I see so much of myself in the role of Kim — a loyal, strong, and honest woman that most men say they want, but are oftentimes intimidated by. I am planning on bringing my A-game to this project! I’m looking forward to joining my castmates and getting to work. The first film did extremely well, and it was all done independently! To hit Showtime, Netflix, and The Movie Channel is a big deal. Joining a franchise that already has a fan base is awesome, and to say that I am excited is understatement!”



The Love and Hip Hop New York star thanked executive producer and co-star Dwayne "DL" Clarke via Twitter.






King of Paper Chasin’ 2 picks up where the original film left off: the story of Carter Blanche is told through the first-person perspective, where sex, greed, and deception are all central pitfalls as he chases his dream of rising to the top in the gritty city. However, every choice he makes can — and will — cost lives.

Kanye West Bought Two $1 Million, Bomb-Proof SUVs





After too many crazy encounters with paparazzi, Kanye West decided to equip himself with two Dartz Prombron armored SUV’s straight from Latvia.

Fansided explains:
While one of the rides is a 'cheaper' version (only about $800K or so) the more expensive of the two, the 'Prombron Iron Diamond' model (valued approximately at $1.2 million) is able to withstand attacks from landmines and rocket-propelled grenades, because that's exactly what you need driving around the streets of Calabasas, California.

The 'cheaper' version is essentially a spiced up version of what the President of the United States rolls around in.


Here is a photo of the truck you might start seeing around LAX..

50 Cent Pushes Trav Onstage At MixShow Live For Disrespecting Him On Twitter. Meek Mill Plays Peacekeeper [Video]









Video After The Jump



50 Cent has been like a big brother and mentor to fellow Queens rapper Trav over the years. But like all families there are at times disagreements. This one just happened to play out publicly.



Back in July, Trav made some disparaging remarks on Twitter aimed at 50 that the G-Unitboss did not take kindly to.





















On Saturday (August 10) 50 invited Meek Mill onstage during the G-Unit Records Listening Suite at the MixShow Live event in Atlanta. Trav also came onstage and 50 reacted by telling him to leave. When he didn't, 50 pushed him before Meek stepped in to intervene.





"Y'all family though," Meek said to 50. "Y'all family, don't do it onstage here."



Trav can be heard saying: "Chill out, that's my big brother."



After things calmed down Meek said that Trav and 50 would work out their differences in private.





"The situation [that just] happened they family," Meek told the crowd. "At the end of the day they gonna have to deal with that as family."


Later Trav retweeted messages that echoed Meek's sentiments.
