DMX will surrender in a Los Angeles courtroom and will begin serving more jail time.

According to TMZ, although it is not sure which crime he will be serving time for, X’s manager has said that he is ready to surrender in a courtroom and head back to a place DMX knows a little too well.

The crime X will be serving time for was committed four or five years ago and although this story is just developing, DMX’s manager says that X is focused on taking care of past legal issues.

Police are releasing more details on the Wednesday night arrest of Brooklyn rapper Foxy Brown.

As previously reported Foxy, real name Inga Manchard, was taken into custody after violating an order of protection taken out against her by Arlene Raymond, a neighbor she allegedly assaulted with a Blackberry in 2007.

Officers reported that Brown was seen cursing at Raymond before being arrested but now say she also “mooned” the woman she was not allowed contact with.

According to TMZ police report that the rapper, who was wearing a skirt at the time, yelled:

“You dirty bitch … what are you looking at?”

Before she “bent over and thrust [her] buttocks at the [neighbor] while shouting …”kiss my ass!”

She was arrested and charged with one count of criminal contempt, a class E felony along with public lewdness, menacing and harassment.

Foxy has since pleaded not guilty to the charges and was released on $5,000 bail.

If convicted, Brown faces up to seven years behind bars.

Her next court date is July 27.

Lil Wayne recently wrote from his prison cell a letter explaining his thoughts on Lebron James‘ move to Miami.

With lyrics and ESPN interviews proving his love for sports, it was no surprise that Wayne had something to say about the situation. Wayne wrote on his blog about the move:

Oh Lebron! The recent move by the Miami Heat confirms that we will someday soon have that good ole basketball back with all due respect to the Lakers-Celtics 7 game series. This move reminds me of the days when it was Johnson, Worthy, and Jabbar vs. Bird, Parrish, and McHale, or Thomas, Dumars, and Lambeer. Well now we have Bryant, Gasol, Bynum, and Pierce, Allen, Garnett, and ultimately, Wade, bosh, and James! Do expect this to become “protocol” to win an NBA title. As for many more teams have and will be stacking their rosters with stars.

I believe that this Miami team will be explosive as intended. Anything less than an NBA championship title will be uncivilized. 72-10 anybody?. Well with Wade at the 1 and Lebron at the 2 or vice versa even, or Mario Chalmers at the 1, Wade at the 2, and Bron at the 3… Wow! Not to mention that I didn’t mention Bosh, who can live at the 4 or 5. Zone defense will be a must against this team. That’s 3 players on the court that commands a double team. Just imagine those guys on a fast break, the defender back peadaling… Wade can take it to the hole or throw it up and you know Bron. Bron is going to get it… or dish it back to a trailing Chris Bosh who will definitely finish at the rim… again, wow! Or how about Wade at the 3-point line, Bosh setting the pick, and Lebron in the passing lane. And if you collapse on them, don’t forget that Chalmers can knock down the shot. I bet that they lead the league in alley-oops. And they’re all young! Scary! Hey, what if Pat Riley returns to the sidelines and it ends up being the Lakers vs. Heat in the finals? Riley vs. Jackson! Epic! Gasol on Bosh, Ron-Ron on Bron-Bron, and Kobe on Wade… wow!

Also, beware of the Bulls. Boozer will fit in well because they’re similar to Utah in many ways. A nice guard surrounded by the shooters. With the addiction of Korrer and Rose should be able to shine brighter. The Bulls led the league in the rebounds last season and I’m sure they will again with Boozer and Noah.

Boston is the team of bad knees! With J. O’neal joining the squad, it adds another big man but his knees are always questionable. So is Garnett’s and now Perkins. But still expect them to do well in the east.

The Knicks are injury prone as well. Not only are their spirits injured from not getting The King, but Amare’s an injury threat as well as Turiaf and Randolph. If they can stay healthy, then expect Amare and Randolph to be beasts in the paint. Raymond Felton is no Steve Nash but he’s a solid point guard. He should do well with Stoudemire. I’m not sure about Orlando in the east this upcoming season. I mean Duhon isn’t exactly a good move but it has potential.

As for the West, Minnesota is stacked now with Beasley, Jefferson, Love, and Milicic. Golden State looks good with Curry and Lee. Though I’m not sure if we can expect Lee to brab all these boards in the west. Too many big men. As for the east is full of guards.
I can’t wait to see how teams stack up next season when those other big name players hit the market. Maybe Melo and Tony Parker to the Knicks? Or Chris Paul and Derrin Williams to the Lakers? They’re gonna have to do something! Good ole basketball.

The Tricks of the Trade.

We previously reported that rapper Ice-T was arrested earlier this morning .  He has now responded to the arrest, claiming that media outlets made the incident national news, while he felt it was a petty incident.

He also took to his Twitter to express his feelings (and badge number) for the officer that arrested him, and explained the altercation that took place:

“Some punk b***h rookie cop named Fisher #10026 made the arrest of his bulls**t career today, arresting the Notorious Ice T for no seatbelt.”

The exchange took place before the cop arrested him, and Ice-T claims that the officer immediately recognized him.

“I know who you are and I don’t give a f**k,” Ice-T tweeted. “That was right after I called him a punk b***h”

Ice-T also denies reports that his license is suspended.

Ice-T has been arrested after driving without a seatbelt and having a suspended license.

It seems that one by one each veteran West Coast rapper is being arrested.  First it was Too Short last week and now we have Ice-T.

According to TMZ.com, Ice was allegedly driving on a suspended license, pulled over for driving without a seat belt and taken into custody.

Ice was last heard through a tweet where he said that he and his wife Coco were taking their dog to the vet.

The Law and Order actor was booked at the 10th Precinct in Chelsea and since has been released.

Too Short is speaking out on his recent arrest in Boise, Idaho.

As previously reported Short, real name Todd Shaw, was taken into custody after authorities told news outlets that a fight broke out when he attempted to bring underage girls to his dressing room after a performance.

He was charged with battery but released after posting bail along with his associate Michael T. Walton.

Now the Oakland rapper is speaking out on the controversial allegations against him and denouncing them as “untrue” and “exaggerated” in a statement to XXL that reads,

“The accusations against me regarding my arrest in Idaho on July 15th, were untrue and exaggerated. Normally I would ignore rumors, but because of the nature of the story that’s being spread I had to say something. I don’t blame these outlets for running with the story because it’s about Too Short the “dirty rapper” who has never had a scandal and it involved the words “under age girls”. However due to my work with young people in Oakland I am extremely outraged at the way I am being portrayed. The incident that night was completely taken out of context and I have not and never will take advantage of any woman that is underage. Never that!”

Too Short has been arrested in Idaho for battery.

The 44-year-old rapper, real name Todd Shaw, was taken into custody after authorities say a fight broke out at The Knitting Factory nightclub when he was told he could not bring underage girls backstage and into his dressing room.

According to police reports, none of the employees were seriously hurt and both Short and Walton were taken to a local jail and released after posting bail.
