Philly Steps Up & Fires 4 Cops For Beating, Al Sharpton Tried To Extort Money From Dre? Plus, Flo Rida & Nelly [W4W]!
Posted on May 20, 2008 2:09 PM
This is a little off topic, but I thought it at least deserved an honorable mention.
Check it out below.
Do you guys remember that horrific video that was all over the internet about two weeks ago that showed 18 Philadelphia police offices hooking off on four black men? [Watch That Video Here]
Well it seems that there are some new developments in that case. From what I hear four of the police men who were directly involved in the baton, and fist altercation have been FIRED! The 35th Police District also disciplined four others, and a sergeant was also demoted.
Streetz says: Finally, we get some justice!
Could Rev. Al Sharpton at the end of the day be nothing more then an opportunist? Word is HELL YEA! The new rumor traveling across the internet is that Al Sharpton tried to extort one of the most influential producers in the game for a cool half million dollars.
Apparently Dre's right hand man for more than ten years Bruce Williams is spilling the beans. From what I could ascertain back when the 50 Cent/Game beef was reaching "Biggie/Tupac" proportions Sharpton gave the Aftermath a clear ultimatum half a million to squash the 50 Cent/Game beef or they would march.
I hear that Bruce will elaborate more on the situation more in his new book that's coming out called "Rolling With Dre".
Damn Al! And right on the heels of your rumored tax debt too. You seem just as corrupt as you were back in the day when you were dealing herion.
Update: The National Action Network has put out a press release denying any involvement in an extortion scheme. Here it is.
The National Action Network and Reverend Al Sharpton were not involved with and did not attend a press conference held by hip-hop artists The Game and 50 Cent to announce their truce and donation to charities. At no point has Reverend Al Sharpton or an authorized representative of National Action Network met with Dr. Dre. Interscope Records participated--as did other record companies-- in National Action Network’s previous Hip-Hip Town Hall meeting and has sponsored events at our annual national convention for several years. In fact, representatives of their companies appear in documentary footage by National Action Network raising the issue of responsibility of the music industry and artists. All of this happened after this incident and had no direct connection. Our work around this issue of responsibility in the music industry continues today. To state that National Action Network and or Rev. Sharpton threatened to march is almost laughable because the first question would be whom would we have marched upon, since this was reportedly a clash between two black artists and there was no civil rights questions involved, and for what reason would we have marched? Secondly if someone gave donations to offset our movement that would have precluded Reverend Al Sharpton’s personal participation in standing with the teenager James Rosemond and his family at a press conference calling for an end to the kind of street violence that scars the hip-hop industry. The press conference was widely reported to be taking issue with the artist 50 Cent, Yayo and G Unit. It would also have precluded our marching on record companies, many of whom sponsored events with us, for using the “N,†“B†and “H†words, and withdrawing an award from record executive L.A. Reid for those same reasons. Clearly donations do not alter our focus and work and certainly are not requested from us to assure that it will. However, we think if Dr. Dre and others did make donations to charities, even in the arrangements that were inaccurately alleged, they should continue to do so, as all successful members of our community should help legitimate agencies and organizations that serve the communities that they sell to. We will continue our work around civil rights, racial violence and police brutality, and will not engage scurrilous banter to help sell books.
They even got a quote from Game's manager Jimmy Rosemond.
“I am 100 percent positive that the Game did not come to the conference in fear of Al Sharpton marching and Rev. Sharpton had nothing to do with that conference or donations affiliated with it. The Game has worked with the community and National Action Network in the past and it has never been affiliated with a donation. The Game recently did a song in support of Sean Bell and has been vocal about his support for Nicole Paultre-Bell and the victims involved in the case.â€
Sr. Correspondent Danica Dow caught up with Flo Rida and Nelly recently to chop it up. It's been rumored that Nelly was pissed that Flo Rida got his hands on "Low" first because that song would have been the perfect comeback track for the struggling Midwest rapper.
However when the question was posed, look at what they both had to say.
Streetz says: Nelly ain't tripping too bad. You know he got a raise in his Apple Bottom jeans stock.

Sharpton is just like every other black civil rights leader nowadays and that includes Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakhan. I wish Dr. King and Malcolm X were still here today. Will all the real black leaders please stand up.
J-Hood read a fking book Malcolm X was a pimp @ 1 time and Dr. King had some infidelity issues! Grow up and read a book! Stop basing your knowledge on F-king hip hop websites!

i would like to address this comment to crispin , just because what you did in the past means that you should be condemn in the present. you should judge a person base on their actions today . so your statement to jhood has no true basis of closure . but in fact for future reference, you should detain your ignorant comments cause it statement like yours that prevents us from evolving in society
