Ja Rule pleaded guilty today Monday December 13, 2010 to a weapons charge and will be sentenced to two years in prison.

The 34-year-old artist's plea, given in a Manhattan courtroom, came more than three years after police arrested him in 2007 upon finding a loaded semiautomatic handgun in the rear door of his Maybach following a concert at the Beacon Theater. Ja Rule, whose real name is Jeff Atkins, was initially pulled over for speeding.

Police also found that the registration on the pricey vehicle was suspended and had no insurance.

The concert took place Oct 31 at the Hasely Crawford Stadium in Port-of-Spain and was put together by the organizations Project Records and Trinidad's Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs. Trinidad and Tobago government was upset after spending over $869,000 on a concert headlining Nicki Minaj last month. The concert was widely publicized in the country but failed to live up to the expected turnout.

Minaj apparently was paid TT$382,000/US$60000 to perform. An additional $60,000 was spent on hotel, $150,000 on advertising, $75,000 on the venue, $32,000 was...

In a move that had to be made for rap’s super producer/songwriter, Kanye West released “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.” The album, which plays more like a fluid artistic peace, is the first album since his much maligned 2008 release, “808s and Heartbreaks.” Twisted Fantasy restored West’s good name as the best beat maker in the business and one of raps most powerful artists.

808s was a collection of highly auto-tuned songs worth an initial listen, but without much play back value for fans of West’s music. He had broken away from his signature style, a...
