Shit Just Got Real

They say when Plaxico Burress landed on Rikers Island to begin serving his two year prison sentence the other day, he didn't exactly receive a hero's welcome. Prison guards snitched to the NY Post that after Plax was strip searched and shorn of his trade mark goatee, fellow inmates hurled obscenities of the worst kind as he was led to his single person prison cell. Good thing he didn't have to stay there for long. The next day Plax was transferred out of Rikers to a medium-security intake center in upstate New York where he'll be evaluated for more permanent placement elsewhere in the state prison system. With good behavior, the earliest Plax can be released is June 6, 2011.

Last Night VH1 Taped a Salute to Def Jam

for the VH1 Hip Hop Honors and everybody was there except for a few glaring omissions. Namely Jay Z, nor any of his affiliates [read: Kanye West] and LL Cool J. The first two are easily explainable. Jay Z is currently overseas promoting his new cd 'The Blueprint 3' and Kanye West just may not be ready to do any televised appearances so soon after his last episode, but LL? You know there's some juicy gossip behind that snub. Anyway, stalking Twitter last night I heard the long standing fued between Ja Rule and DMX was squashed with a man hug, that Foxy Brown and Faboulous were not getting along during rehearsal and that Lyor Cohen gave a scathing backhand to Bad Boy and Death Row while comparing them to Def Jam. The show airs Oct 13.
