Man Pleads Guilty To Manslaughter In Death Of T.I’s Friend Philant Johnson

TI & Philant

Associated Press: CINCINNATI - The driver of a vehicle involved in an Ohio gun battle that killed a member of the rapper T.I.’s entourage during a wild highway chase plead guilty to manslaughter and other charges.
Forty-one-year-old Padron Thomas was initially charged with murder but struck a deal with prosecutors that allowed him to plead to lesser charges in exchange for testifying in December against his brother, who pulled the trigger.

A judge on Wednesday scheduled a sentencing hearing for Nov. 17, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer. Thomas faces 10 years in prison. He’s already serving 17 years on unrelated federal drug charges.

Thomas’s younger brother, Hosea Thomas, was sentenced to 66 years in prison for shooting Philant Johnson in May 2006 after a T.I. concert in Cincinnati.

Three others were injured in the shooting. The Grammy-winning Atlanta rapper wasn’t hurt.

Drama at DMX concert in Colorado

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

DMX

DMX’s scheduled Colorado Springs concert friday night turned into a riot after the Yonkers artist clashed with local police over his headlining set. The show was supposed to be for American Charities, and X made it to the venue around 11pm. Upon his arrival, the multi-platinum artist was accosted by a security guard and told he could not perform. DMX was furious, and inquired as to why he couldn’t fulfill his contractual obligations. The guard explained that he was allegedly supposed to be there by 9:30PM, and fans had already been told he wasn’t coming. During the back and forth, the security guard threatened to have X arrested if he attempted to get on stage, a warning the rapper scoffed at. “[Arrest me] for what?! You ain’t no police!” DMX argued. “I’ve been paid to perform.” When X attempted to force his way on stage, several authorities tackled him to the ground. His entourage and fans joined the fracas, and DMX’s publicist Pam Pinnock reportedly suffered a minor concussion and face laceration after being trampled on the floor. DMX eventually made it to the stage, but was not given the supporting sound system to appease his chanting fans. While details are still being revealed, the American Charities’ strict refusal to let DMX perform is allegedly the result of the non-profit not having the remaining money needed to cover X’s performance. The rapper was paid an $8000 deposit, with a remaining amount of $7000 to be delivered upon the show’s completion. Instead of informing DMX’s management, the show promoters allegedly opted to completely cancel the set rather then negotiate a new arrangement. Last year, DMX had a similar situation at Indiana University, when police caused a brief riot by shutting down the rapper’s set for not taking the stage on time for a scheduled 8:30PM performance. At press time, neither DMX nor a representative from American Charities could be reached for comment.

DJ Hero

Set to be released on October 27, 2009 in North America and on October 30, 2009 in Europe, DJ Hero is based on turntablism and features more than 80 remixes of two different songs from a selection of over 100 different songs across numerous genres. To score points, the player must press buttons to activate accented beats, adjust their crossfade between the two songs, and “scratch” the turntable on the game’s custom controller in time to marks that scroll on the screen to score points and perform well for the virtual crowd. The game features both a single player Career mode and cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes. The game also features a mode for selected songs for a DJ player to play alongside another player using a Guitar Hero guitar controller. Also additional content will be released like the microphone.

Many DJ and mix artists have contributed to the game both in the game’s development, the creation of mixes, and in lending their images for playable avatars in the game; these including Eminem, Jay-Z, DJ Shadow, Z-Trip, DJ AM, Cut Chemist, J.Period, Grandmaster Flash, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and Daft Punk.
