Looks like Busta may be getting his act 2gether. Let's hope so... ------------------------------------------------- Busta Rhymes Gets 3 Years' Probation By SAMUEL MAULL, AP Posted: 2008-03-18 14:23:16 Filed Under: Celebrities in Court, Star Scandals, Music News NEW YORK (March 18) - A judge sentenced Busta Rhymes to three years' probation Tuesday for assaulting his former driver and a fan, and warned the rapper to stay out of trouble. The 35-year-old Rhymes, whose real name is Trevor Smith, was also ordered to perform 10 days of community service; pay a $1,250 fine, plus court costs; and enroll in a drunken driving program. After the sentencing, Rhymes said the terms of the plea deal won't be a problem. "I have no trouble being a good dude because that's what I am," he said. Scott Leemon, Rhymes' lawyer, said a private agency called Rock Corp. will work out the community service program. He said he doesn't know yet what it will be. He also said Rhymes has paid most of the fines and surcharges he owed. Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Larry Stephen put Rhymes on notice that he must abide by the conditions of his probation. "If you mess up, you're going to jail," he said. "I've given you a chance." Rhymes said after the sentencing, "I couldn't feel better, and this couldn't have happened at a better time. I thank the judge for giving me a chance and I thank everybody for being supportive." The rapper said he wanted to get back to "having fun, making music, running around and showing love." Rhymes pleaded guilty in January on the day he was set to go to trial on the assault and driving offenses related to four separate incidents. At that time, Stephen revoked Rhymes' driver's license for six months and signed an order of protection directing him to stay away from his former driver. Known for eye-catching outfits and an antic performance style, Rhymes was dressed at his court appearance in a conservative gray suit and lavender pocket square, a lavender shirt, and a gray-and-lavender floral patterned tie. His hits include "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See," "Dangerous" and "Touch It." He also has appeared in movies, including "Shaft" and "Finding Forrester."

Cool...looking forward 2 this. It's still kinda weird for them 2 do an alternate version so close 2 the one they did recently.

By the way, the funny post smiley was meant 2 be pointing at Turntables comment. I made the post yesterday and for some reason it just popped up 2day.

So-called "gangsta" rappers target FP cuz he is an easy target. The reason he's called the 'Prince is because he has self-control and he has class. He isn't gonna cuss, he isn't gonna talk negative about somebody, he's not gonna lyrically murder somebody in his music. So these jealous idiots attack him because he's an easy target and he isn't gonna give much of a push back 2 them. They're nothing but immature, jealous cowards 2 me. Dre isn't a gangsta. He doesn't portray the lifestyle he puts in his music. He dumbs down his music and surrounds himself with dumb people. Gangsta rap doesn't really exist anymore. It hasn't for awhile. I quickly died away after the murders of 2Pac and Biggie cuz all of a sudden, it wasn't cool 2 talk about guns and violence. Since then, we went thru' the jiggy era (which some rappers are still in...talking about material things...and sometimes about guns). Then we dipped in2 the dirty south era which we are still in. Not only does this era continue the trend of stupid and fake subject matter, but u can't even understand the words that are being said now. On top of that, the production has gotten to a childish embarassing level.

He's been working out...that's all i'm saying. Other than Dre's Chonic days, he's best year was 96 when he was saying how gangsta rap was fake and just for entertainment. He said it was dead. He said he was gonna be making real Hip-Hop and doing records with no cussing in them. Then he flipped it and sold out, being lazy and predictable. Every once in awhile he does a song that'll let u know he does have something 2 offer, he just doesn't care anymore about being a real artist.

One of my favorite songs of all time... STACIE ORRICO - Genuine (Very Real Remix) Bounce Back CD Single (2002)

:haha: Lil' Wayne is a disgusting excuse for a commercial rapper. Everytime i see him or hear him, i gotta take a shower.

Funny and disturbing all wrapped up in 1 video. Thanx...i think.

Didn't u see him on the MTV Video Music Awards?

I bet he'll sell 10.

That's kinda funny in a pathetic way. FP has more respect in the Hip-Hop community than Dre does. Dre has been inconsistant as an artist and a producer. I like alot of his stuff but he sadly can't be seen on the same level as legends like FP, who is consistent and true 2 himself. I remember that when BB2 came out, i thought it was wack that Dre was putting the instrumental of a 4 year old song in the movie...it made no sense and showed his lack of creativity...not 2 mention his struggle 2 make a good beat for 2003. Dre can grow up any day now. He's probably been bulking up so that if FP were 2 meet him in a dark ally, he might stand a chance of getting one weak punch in.

Love the idea...love the teamwork.

I didn't know how 2 take the twin towers part of it...but creative and very well done. Funny stuff.

Ha ha...yeah, i waz just listening 2 "Tell Me Why" 2 days ago. That beep is just ridiculous. It's akward and messes up the flow of the song. The just needed 2 take that work out like Kev said. Interscope just wanted 2 make L+F one of those 2 singles/videos albums like so many record labels do these days. People like Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Fergie, etc get awesome treatment. 5 videos, maybe and extra radio promo or 2 sent out 2 the stations for songs that don't even have videos, Deluxe Editions released with bonus songs and/or DVD's, then an official concert or music DVD released. That's how they handled it back in the 90's and there were some HUGE classic albums that took 2 years 2 run their course. U don't get that 2day. Albums get 1 or 2 singles/videos and that's it. Albums with weak or no promotion are forgettable and don't generate much of a lasting impression. Maybe if the industry stuck 2 a proven method like in the 90's, we'd have better, well-rounded, stronger artists. Not 2 mention better music. I still wish someone made a "Runaway Love/Tell Me Why" mix when "Runaway Love" was big. It would have been an excellent opertunity 2 have FP get some attention piggy backing someone with more commerical appeal.

SNOOP DOGG - Deez Hollywood Nights Ego Trippin' (2008) Like all Snoop Dogg albums since his 2nd...a handful of these songs are dope...the other half i'll never listen 2 again...ha ha

PAULA ABDUL - Dance Like There's No Tomorrow Randy Jackson's Music Club: Volume 1 (2008) I didn't think there'd be much 2 this CD, but when i saw Paula Abdul (the only artist who i knew was on it), Joss Stone, Keke Wyatt, Kiley Dean, Angie Stone, Keb Mo', Van Hunt, Jason Mraz, Anthony Hamilton, Katharine McPhee, Elliott Yamin, Be Be Winans, Mariah Carey, and Brian McKnight (only on the Wal-Mart version), i had 2 pick it up.

FRESH PRINCE + MIAMI SOUND MACHINE - Miami (Miami Mix) Miami (Import CD Single) (1998)

JANET JACKSON - Rock With U Discipline (2008) I'm kinda disappointed in this album...she needs 2 get back 2 her 90's and All For You style.

GURU + LORD TARIQ - Knowledge Jazzmatazz: The Timebomb - Back To The Future Mixtape (2008) Anyone who thought the album was 2 formal or 2 jazzy might like this mixtape. Good stuff.

Thanx, I'll check it soon. But why r we talking down on Hip-Hop Lives?

WILL.I.AM - One More Chance Songs About Girls (2007)

I don't think PR + CL fixed their issues. The last article i read from PR he said he'd NEVER work with him again. And that PR+CL joint on CL's album wasn't a new song, i don't think. It is disappointing 2 not see CL on it but i'm sure they'll get it 2gether later. I gotta get this.

Yeah, my collection is pretty big...and i don't listen 2 alot of it. I forget i have lots of the albums and single. When i'm going thru' it i'll find something and pop it in. Half of the music i have is used so i got it at a crazy cheap price in the 1st place. I can tell u that it's great 2 be able 2 pop in just about anything whenever u want....and i make the best mixtapes ever...ha ha.

I really liked it. I just thought the Jeff Townes as DJ Jazzy Jeff type stuff was weird...ha ha.
