| Miami’s Rick
Ross was integral part this year at the Haiti stop of the
annual Starfest Multi-Cultural Music Festival, which drew an
estimated 500,000 fans. The star-studded event was founded to
enthrall Caribbean and other international music fans with music
sets featuring the best artists in the realms of Zouk, Compa,
Reggae, Jazz, R&B, and Hip-Hop. Adding to the music are
parties, art exhibits, talents shows, food, and cultural
awareness events. Also, Starfest brings an additional
educational element by illuminating the issues of the Caribbean
community. According to festival founder and president DJ Louis,
Ross received a huge reception for his performance despite being
the only big name Hip-Hop act on the bill, which featured
international stars such as Black Dada, Shabba Dkakout, Chale
Republik, and RockFam. “This was truly for a great cause which
made it even more beautiful, but it also speaks as a global
movement that is more than just about the music,” Louis
explained to AllHipHop.com in a prepared statement. “Along
with Ross, we visited hospitals, several boys and girls group
homes, and showed love to the men in duty in Haiti. It is a true
blessing for the Starfest team to see the results in motion.” |

rapper Trick Trick has never shied away from confronting
fellow MCs on wax or in the streets to handle unresolved issues.
However, the controversial rapper now has his sights aimed at an
unlikely target; the entire gay community. In an exclusive
statement to AllHipHop.com, Trick Trick expressed
his disgust of the homosexual lifestyle, and explained that he
doesn’t want any gay individuals to purchase his newly
released sophomore album, The Villian. “I’ma go on the
record right now with this. Homosexuals are
probably not gonna like this album,” Trick revealed to
AllHipHop.com. “I don’t want your f**got money any goddamn
way. I don’t like it [homosexuality]. Carry that s**t
somewhere else.” On the self-titled album track called "Trick
Trick," the Detroit rapper hurls vitriolic bars against
gay activists Ellen DeGeneres and Rosie O’Donnell,
referring to them as “dyke b**ches” and promising to send a
“scud missile right through their f***ing cruise ship.”
“It’s just that every time that you turn on the TV, that
sissy s**t is on,” Trick told AllHipHop.com. “And I address
that issue. I address it hard as hell.” |

| Members of the
Gay and Lesbian Hip-Hop community have responded in
droves to rapper Trick Trick’s recent unprovoked verbal
attack. Like many others, they were surprised by the
inflammatory comments made by the Detroit artist regarding their
lifestyle on his latest album. During an interview to promote
the album The Villain on Tuesday (November 11), Trick
Trick shared his disdain for the homosexual lifestyle in a
statement that referred to gays and lesbians in several
derogatory slurs. The statements were perceived by many as a
publicity stunt, especially since they did not seem to be
provoked by any one particular incident. Los Angeles-based
actor/ rapper and self-proclaimed “Homo
Thug” Deadlee was not phased by Trick Trick’s taunts,
nor threats. “My first thought is to get crazy and warn him
that this f**got will kick his ass -- but I am so on Cloud 9
with Obama winning, and the way he did it," Deadlee
told AllHipHop.com. "Obama
was called a terrorist, unpatriotic, and the entire time kept
his cool, I so wish I was like that. I know who I am and my self
worth that I really don't give a f**k who or what a Trick Trick
has to say. There is still a lot of hate against gays, and a
Trick Trick just perpetuates the hate |

| Chicago
rapper Bump J. has been arrested by federal officials for
allegedly robbing a Chicago-area bank in 2007. Bump
J., born Terrance Boykin, was arrested and taken into
custody following a routine traffic stop earlier this week.
Police accuse Bump J. and
another associate of robbing a Chase Bank branch at gunpoint on
January 2007. The pair entered the bank, announced a robbery was
in place and emptied the bank of more than $100,000 dollars. No
one was injured in the robbery, which was captured on
surveillance cameras. Bump J. was indicted on one count each of
bank robbery and violation of federal firearms statues. He is
currently being held without bond at the Carbondale Police
Department, awaiting extradition to Chicago. Bump J., who has
worked with artists like Kanye West,
Keyshia Cole, Trey Songz, Rhymefest and others, now faces
up to 20 years in prison if he is convicted. His most recent
mixtape release is named Dinner Time, while his latest
single is titled “Chevy Fresh Out.” The other man who
participated in the robbery remains at large. |
