Kanye West Returns To The Studio…

Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West has announced his return to the recording studio and promised to deliver his best material to date.

Writing on his daily blog, West also showed his appreciation to the fans for their support since coming out in 2003-2004.

“FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR THEIR CONSTANT LOVE AND SUPPORT OVER THESE PAST 6 YEARS!,” he wrote Saturday (January 2). “I’M SO HAPPY TO BE BACK IN THE STUDIO MAKING NEW MUSIC. I WILL BRING YOU THE BEST I HAVE TO OFFER WITH THE SAME DEDICATION THAT KOBE HAS ON THE COURT. IT’S FUNNY HOW SO MANY RAPPERS GET WORSE AS THEIR CAREERS STRETCH OUT BUT TRUE POETS GET BETTER. WE WILL FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF MAYA ANGELOU, GILL SCOTT HERRON AND NINA SIMONE. THEIR WORK IMPROVED WITH TIME. THEY DOCUMENTED WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN CULTURE. THAT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS THE MODERN DAY ARTISTS AND POETS, TO ACCURATELY REPRESENT WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW, SO WHEN THE POWERS THAT BE TRY TO REWRITE HISTORY YOU CAN ALWAYS LOOK AT OUR WORKS AND FIND TRUTH AND SINCERITY IN A WORLD OF PROCESSED INFORMATION. LET US SOAK IN POSITIVE FORCES AND LOOK DOWN ON UPON THOSE WHO MASQUERADE AS TRUTH TELLERS AND OBJECTIVE FACT GIVERS WHEN IN REALITY EVERYTHING THAT IS PROJECTED HAS AN AGENDA OF BRAINWASHING US, THE “CONSUMER”, THE PUBLIC, TO BELIEVE WHAT THEY WANT US TO. LET US LOOK PAST HEADLINES AND DEAL WITH JUST A BIT OF REALITY IN THIS NEW DECADE. WE HAVE OUR OWN OUTLETS NOW. WE DON’T HAVE TO BELIEVE EVERYTHING ANYMORE. NOW I’LL FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MAKE THAT RYHME LOL!!!” (Kanye West’s Blog)

Woman Claims Shaquille O’Neal Is Harassing Her…..

http://bittenandbound.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/shaquille-oneal.jpg

Famed attorney Gloria Allred is looking to score against NBA great Shaquille O’Neal and she’ll head to the court (room), if that’s what it takes. Allred is representing Vanessa Lopez, a model who claims Shaq has been harassing her. “I can confirm I’m representing Vanessa Lopez.”

Shaq’s wife Shaunie has filed for legal separation with intent to divorce, after a rocky marriage that was beset by numerous reports of her husband cheating. Their next court hearing is March 22.

In 2008 Alexis Miller an Atlanta hip-hop artist, got a restraining order against O’Neal, claiming he threatened to hurt her after their romantic relationship dissolved. She also charged that he would call and breathe heavily into the phone plus said he would ruin her career.

Shaq, who now plays alongside LeBron James for the Cleveland Cavaliers, was recently rumored to be romantically involved with the fiancé of another NBA player.

And while O’Neal has been voted one of the NBA’s best 50 players ever, he’ll undoubtedly have trouble with Allred’s Hack a Shaq legal strategy, which usually leaves few secrets uncovered.

For Allred, this is her second known foray into the world of sports in recent months. She’s representing several women linked to Tiger Woods, including Rachel Uchitel, whose five-month affair with the golfer was exposed by the National Enquirer and caused a domino effect of Tiger mistresses being revealed, leading Tiger to take an indefinite break from golf.

Shaq’s estranged wife is executive producer of the VH-1 show “Basketball Wives,” which will show the benefits of being married to an NBA star and the downside, including worrying about husbands staying faithful.

Ohio Teacher In Hot Water For Burning Cross Into Students Skin….

A teacher currently in a battle to keep his job might have shot himself in the foot, figuratively speaking.

John Freshwater, formerly a teacher at Mount Vernon Middle School in Columbus, Ohio, was fired after an internal investigation concluded that he burned crucifixes into several of his students with a high-frequency generator while preaching Christianity during class.

While on trial, Freshwater denied teaching Christianity in the classroom or having ever surveyed students in his eight-grade science class.

Unfortunately for him, questionnaires given to the students surfaced, poking a hole in the misguided teacher’s story.

When the forms were mentioned, Freshwater noted that it seemed school officials had “gone through” his classroom.

Carlotta Freeman Recieves A Million In Harrassment Lawsuit…

http://www.myeyewitnessnews.com/media/lib/10/0/d/b/0dbb6ee0-5702-4eef-afe7-9821c2bcdedf/Story.jpg

Carlotta Freeman has been awarded a $1- million judgment in her case against appliance manufacturer Whirlpool. Freeman, a Black woman who was employed by the company, claimed her complaints about racial and sexual harassment were ignored by Whirlpool management that eventually caused the situation to turn into a physical altercation as she was attacked by a white male co-worker, Willie Baker.

Judge John T. Nixon, who presides over the Nashville Division of the United States District Court for Middle Tennessee, found that every level of management of the now defunct La Vergne plant in Tennessee failed to respond to Carlotta Freeman’s complaints.

Nixon’s decision was based on Freeman’s “emotional and psychological injuries caused by Whirlpool’s ineffective response to her repeated complaints of racial and sexual harassment.”

According to The Tennessean, several medical experts testified that Freeman had developed chronic post-traumatic stress disorder and couldn’t participate in normal activities.

“She’s completely disabled, not able to work because of the incident,” Freeman’s lawyer Andy Allman said. “She is pretty much a complete introvert, rarely leaves her home anymore.”

The court ordered Whirlpool to pay Freeman a little more than $1 million.

Update: Shawty Redd Court Appearance

Grammy nominated producer Demetrius Stewart known to the world as Shawty Redd made his first court appearance on the charge of murder in front of Henry County Judge Brown this morning. Judge Brown explained to Mr. Stewart what he was being charged with and discussed the issue of giving him a bond. While Shawty Redd was entitled to have been represented by a court appointed attorney for his bond hearing, he decided that since his own attorney was not in town at the moment, he wanted his case postponed for another date. As a result, Magistrate Judge Brown rescheduled his bond hearing for January 12 in which case he must remain in custody until the hearing.

Lead Detective Shares Some Details

Hip Hop Enquirer’s Dennis Byron spoke exclusively with the lead detective Wayne Bender in the case who stated that Mr. Stewart was fully cooperating with the investigation of the case and that he did contact 911 after the shooting which he stated occurred around 8:00 A.M. on New Year’s Day. Although there have been reports that Shawty Redd turned himself in to the police, we have learned from reliable sources that prior to his surrender every effort was made to try and resuscitate the deceased individual. A witness to the incident has stated that they overheard a man fitting the description of the deceased making threats of violence to Mr. Stewart prior to the shooting and that the weapon used was legally registered to him.

What Do We Know About The Deceased?

Damon A. Martin, a 35 year old resident of Detroit is believed to be the person shot by Mr. Stewart.

Present in court today was Shawty Redd’s grandmother and representatives of Mr. Stewart’s management company.

“This is truly a sad situation today in hip hop as I have known Shawty Redd for over 5 years as his personal photographer and friend and he is one of the kindest and giving people I know. It was very difficult for me to even report on this news story as it’s never easy reporting on someone that is so close to me. My prayers go out to the entire Stewart family as this is such a tragic situation.” Dennis Byron
