Busta Rhymes Cuts Dreads After 15 Years

After 15 years, Busta Rhymes has officially cut off his long dreadlocks.

Busta Rhymes, born Trevor Smith, cut off his trademark dreadlocks during a recent photo shoot in a New York barbershop.

“I started growing these sh--s in December '89. I was 17,� Busta stated. “I signed my [record] deal and said I aint combing my hair no more. I don't have to."

The rapper now sports a short crop Caesar hairstyle.

In an effort to memorialize his transition, the former Leader of The New School member recorded the historic occasion on camera while friends and crew members watched.

The short video clip (located here: http://boss.streamos.com/wmedia/interscope/bustarhymes/video/cuts_his_dread.asx) features an excited Busta cutting his dreads off one at a time while he talks about the momentous event.

“This is it kid,� Busta exclaimed as he prepared to cut his hair. “I haven’t felt clippers touch the side of my head in 15 years. Y’all gonna see the sexiest head you’ve ever seen in your life when I’m finished.�

The Inc. Lawyers On 50 Cent Shooting: 'Hommo Did It, Even 50 Cent Said It'

The trial of Irv and Chris “Gotti� Lorenzo on federal money laundering charges continued yesterday (Nov. 21) opening with Judge Edward Korman hearing evidence about 50 Cent’s May 2000 shooting.

Prosecutors argued in closed chambers that the May 2000 shooting is related to The Inc.’s money laundering trial, because it was ordered by Kenneth “Supreme� McGriff as the brothers allegedly laundered the convicted cocaine dealer’s drug proceeds.

They also claim to have a message from one of The Inc.’s pagers, claiming a message was sent shortly after 50 Cent was shot in May 2000 saying “f**k half a dollar, me and my ni**as kill for fun.�

Assistant U.S. Attorney Sean Haran said that on the day 50 Cent was shot, Irv sent a flurry of messages, allegedly within 30 minutes of the shooting, asking how many times the rapper had been shot and if he had been killed.

Former McGriff associate Jon Ragin testified yesterday as well, claiming that McGriff, alleged triggerman Robert “Son� Lyons and Chauncey “God B.� Milliner met in a Brooklyn garage immediately after the May 2000 attack.

DJ Green Lantern Finds "Home" With Russell Simmons

DJ Green Lantern has found a new recording home with Russell Simmons Music Group after unceremoniously exiting Eminem’s Shady Records earlier this year.

RSMG president Tony Austin said that Green Lantern’s background and ability spoke volumes to the burgeoning company.

“We signed Green Lantern because he's a prominent figure in the Hip-Hip community,� Austin told AllHipHop.com. “He understands the culture and what it represents. He has produced for some of the biggest name artists in Hip-Hip. He'll be influential in helping shape and mode new talent at RSMG along with building his own brand and becoming a household name around the globe.�

To date, Green Lantern has crafted hits for the likes of Ludacris, The Lox’s D-Block, Immortal Technique, Akon, Jadakiss and others like Noreaga. DJ Green Lantern announced his departure from Shady Records in April after DJing for Eminem since 2001. He departed Shady after a phone conversation with rapper Jadakiss was recorded for a street DVD without his knowledge. The New York native made an opinionated comment about 50 Cent and Jadakiss’ rap beef at the time, which appeared to cause tension between the Shady/G-Unit camp.

Florida School System Bans 'Frowning Snowman' T-Shirt

Atlanta, Georgia rapper Young Jeezy’s frowning snowman logo on a t-shirt has caused a stir in the United States and now the shirt has been banned from the Polk County, Florida Public School system.

Superintendent Gail McKinzie alerted principals in the school system last week about the t-shirt, which features a frowning snowman, usually followed by various references to cocaine.

McKinzie and Assistant Superintendent Bruce Tonjes became aware of the shirts after they started popping up on various campuses.

“We understood that ‘snow’ is a reference to cocaine,� Assistant Superintendent Bruce Tonjes told AllHipHop.com. “If that’s what people understand the meaning of this to be, that doesn’t mean the person wearing it understands. If that’s the message it sends, we take the necessary measures to remove it from our campuses.�

Clothing that promotes drugs, alcohol or sex is banned under Polk County School Board policy.

On first offense, students will be told to turn the shirt inside-out or change shirts.
