R.I.P To Mr. Jerry Buss Laker's Owner

Jerry Buss, the Los Angeles Lakers owner who shepherded the NBA team to 10 championships from the Showtime dynasty of the 1980s to the Kobe Bryant era, died Monday. He was 80.

Buss died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, said Bob Steiner, his assistant.

Buss had been hospitalized for most of the past 18 months while undergoing cancer treatment, but the immediate cause of death was kidney failure, Steiner said. With his condition apparently worsening in recent weeks, several prominent former Lakers visited Buss to say goodbye.

"The NBA has lost a visionary owner whose influence on our league is incalculable and will be felt for decades to come," NBA commissioner David Stern said. "More importantly, we have lost a dear and valued friend."

Under Buss' leadership since 1979, the Lakers became Southern California's most beloved sports franchise and a worldwide extension of Hollywood glamour.

Buss acquired, nurtured and befriended a staggering array of talented players and basketball minds during his Hall of Fame tenure, from Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to Bryant,Shaquille O'Neal and Dwight Howard.

"He was a visionary, he was a trailblazer," Johnson said during an interview on "SportsCenter" on Monday afternoon. "He did things that were, at that time, people thought wasn't cool, wasn't proper. He was a man who walked the walk and talked the talk. He produced championships, because he was the most competitive owner you could ever meet in your life."

"Condolences to the Buss family," tweeted James Worthy, the Lakers' Hall of Fame forward. "Dr Buss was not only the greatest sports owner, but a true friend & just a really cool guy. Loved him dearly."

Love & Hip-Hop star in trouble with the Law

Mandeecees Harris, Love & Hip-Hop star and father of fellow L&HH star Yandy Smith’s baby is currently facing numerous charges in different cases. One case, as we reported yesterday, is a major drug trafficking ring, of which he is facing with 2 other cohorts over $2.5 million worth of heroin and cocaine. The other case, depending on how you look at it, is a bit more severe. He’s being accused of doing some sexual things (mainly, getting fellatio) from his ex-girlfriend’s 15-year-old daughter while they lived together in 2011. Now that sounds bad enough, but you’ve got to read some of the excerpts from the girl’s testimony! The trial began yesterday, and BOY is it not looking good for him. I definitely think he’s going to do some time! Check out the details below. SMH.

The trial is taking place in Hackensack, and the girl is now 19-years-old. Some major takeaways:

• He told her she was “better than [her] mother” after coercing her into oral sex by revealing his knowledge of a dark secret from her past.
• “Mendeecees made me feel comfortable. He would give me advice. He’d say ‘It’ll be okay between you and your mom’,” the woman said. (She and her mom didn’t get along.)
• Then came an afternoon when, with no one else home, she realized in the shower that she didn’t have a towel. “I asked him to get me one, and he did,” the woman testified. “Then he came into my room and suggested I let him masturbate on me, but I just laughed.”
• “He told me he knew I had been raped when I was 8 years old,” she said, “and he found out from my mother. “‘Your mom doesn’t want you here’,” the woman said Harris told her before exposing himself.

She ended up doing it to spite her mom, and this continued for a while. Eventually her mother found a text in her phone from Mandeecees, and they broke up after that. However, he thought his secret was still safe.

“He said she didn’t know anything, so don’t say anything. It was something he would ‘take to his grave.’ He [also] told me they were done.”

He’s facing 7 counts of illegal sex, including giving her money as an inducement. Since that happened when she was 15 and 16 and he was more than 4 years older, he’s also facing a statutory rape charge.

If convicted of the charges, he could face up to 20 years in prison.

Uncle Luke writes a letter to Rick Ross

Dear Rick Ross:

As someone who survived several rap beefs, I’m going to give you some advice. You need to seriously address the threats and attempts on your life. You have worked hard to become a big name in hip-hop. You’ve paid your dues and you’ve grown lyrically since the release of your debut album, Port of Miami, in 2006. You’ve arrived, buddy.

But all this gangster bullshit is jeopardizing your career. No club or arena is going to risk people getting shot. You can forget about doing any tours or CD signings. And if you can’t make money, watch how fast Warner Bros. Records turns on you. I know from experience how venues and the music industry would like to black ball you.

You have the Gangster Disciples breathing down your neck because you’ve named-dropped Larry Hoover, the gang’s founder, in your music. Unlike the record and book publishing industries, these bad dudes don’t understand the concept of public domain. They see you getting rich forever by rapping about their leader, and they don’t like it. That’s why they’re on YouTube talking about how you need to go see them and cut a check.

It’s a shame you can’t enjoy life without spending part of your earnings on heavy security or risking your freedom by purchasing an arsenal. Remember, that’s what landed T.I. and Lil Wayne in prison. You don’t want that to happen to you. However, those are the consequences of rapping about being something you’re not.

Hip-hop has a rich history of college guys who never committed a crime rapping about moving kilos of cocaine and taking out snitches. Every gangster rapper takes on the role of a real hood legend to build up street cred. But I don’t want you to fall into the trap of believing you are really a gangster.

Trust me, you don’t want to go out like Biggie Smalls or Tupac. It’s time you squash your beefs.

After Snoop and crew rocked the show, Daz discussed his new album, the new Dogg Pound album, and a few of his other upcoming projects. “I got a new album that’s dropping Dec 4 calledWit it Wit it, I got the Dogg Pound album “That’s My Work” single coming out, I got two movies that’s dropping called Make It Rain and Atlanta strip club motion picture featuring Candy, Alpha Mega, Shawty and a whole lot of people from Atlanta and I shot another movie called The Speezot which is a comedy.

Master P Holds Charity Event in Beverly Hills

After two decades in the game, Master P has left his mark not only on the music, but also in the community. This past weekend at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, CA, the New Orleans rapper hosted the inaugural black tie charity ball for his foundation “Let The Kids Grow.” The organization was founded to support at-risk urban youth with after school activities and performing arts programs, giving them the resources to pursue dreams and thrive. The event honored Los Angeles Lakers star Dwight Howard, Usher, Romeo Miller and other influencers for their work in the community. “I use to be a little teenager in New Orleans selling jewelry for all of No Limit and Cash Money and Master P use to come and give me $100 for every ‘A’ I had on my report card, that probably ages him a little bit,” said Rocsi Diaz. “He was always such a generous person and to the community, when I first got on 106 he was one of the first people that reached out and was like I’m proud of you keep up the good work, he’s always been one of my biggest motivators and I’m just glad I can give back to him and help out.”
