“It’s too much. For the book, I was interviewed, people close to me were interviewed. So I was learning a lot of things I didn’t know as a child,” Jay-Z told RS. “It’s not anything I haven’t said in the past, in songs. It’s just more detailed. A song is three minutes long. A book doesn’t have to rhyme, and it has no time limit, so you can say exactly how everything went.”

On the same day, southern rapper Trick Daddy is also set to drop his autobiography entitled Magic City: Trials Of A Native Son. According to the description:

Magic City: Trials of a Native Son, chronicles Trick Daddy’s story against the backdrop of Miami, the Magic City. It is an extraordinary story, of a childhood marked by poverty, a crime-laden adolescence, an incarceration, a meteoric rise to fame, and a struggle with a potentially fatal medical condition. It’s the story of a boy whose father was a pimp; who, left to his own devices, learned to hustle to survive and whose only role model was his brother, the drug dealer he watched plying his trade on the block. But while his story is remarkable, the most astonishing part is that he is not only still alive, but that he got out.

Illest – The award winning artist was arrested on Wednesday night after cops smelled the distinct essence of marijuana coming from his car. Ironically at the same time that his redeeming VH1 special “Behind The Music” has been airing repeatedly. In the show T.I. claims that he has his act together and has learned from his mistakes.

T.I’s probation officer will need to convince District Judge Charles Pannell Jr that T.I’s probation should be revoked following T.I.’s arrest on substance possession in Los Angeles. If he fails T.I. could face the real possibility of heading back to jail before the year ends. T.I.’s probation doesn’t actually end until 2013.

“T.I. is going to be back on his way to Atlanta in the next 24 hours,” Don Samuel, one of T.I.’s lawyers, said Thursday. “It’s almost certain he’ll end up appearing before the court here. But without knowing all the facts, it’s premature to speculate what the court is likely to do.”

One of the reasons that T.I. received an untypical deal that led to him only doing a couple months in jail for a series of gun charges was because of his vow to be a changed man. The plea deal saw T.I. serving over 1000 hours of community service along with speeches that were aimed directly at the lifestyle that T.I. had spoke with exceptional credibility throughout his discography including his critically acclaimed second album “Trap Musik”.

T.I. who was released from jail in March after only serving three months in Atlanta’s halfway house has stayed out of trouble until this incident.

Wednesday night, 29-year-old T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., and his wife, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, were arrested in West Hollywood during a traffic stop.

“Deputies smelled a strong odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle,” the Los Angeles sheriff’s department said. “A narcotics investigation ensued” and resulted in the arrests.

T.I. and his wife were released on bail on Thursday night; both posting $10 grand.

Any offense when you’re under probation can hold serious consequences. Illestlyrics will keep you update to date with all the developments as they unravel.

In related news, T.I. has been hard at work on his new album “King Uncaged” set for a release possibly as early as this fall.

UPDATE –

Los Angeles Police Department has revealed that it was a small amount of Ecstasy Pills found in the Maybach, this will count as a Controlled Substance charge against T.I.

A play off his fourth album The King that rose T.I. from billboard obscurity to prominence overnight.

Unfortunately, for the King of the South there has been a road bump along the way. T.I. who is currently on probation was arrested on drug charges.

Los Angeles Police Department found a small amount of Ecstasy Pills in the Maybach. What this means is that T.I. will be charged with possessing a controlled substance.

Everything isn’t all doom and gloom for the multi-platinum rapper. He has a huge role in the action crime heist Takers made its debut on August 27th and he currently has a couple singles in rotation.

T.I. has just announced “Pledge Allegiance To The Swag” for this week as well. He said that you shouldn’t expect to find it on the radio, but it will be all over blogs such as this one.

With T.I. planning his monster release for later this year. It will be interesting to see what else develops in the spectrum of hip hop before the close out of the year.

Four tracks have been released from King Uncaged.

1. I’m Back
2. Ya Hear Me
3. Yeah You Know (Takers)
4. Got Your Back Ft. Keri Hilson

Jay-Z and Eminem will have some company with them during their back-to-back Detroit shows at Comerica Park later this week, and then again when the duo hit New York’s Yankee Stadium.

One of B.o.B’s managers, music-industry vet T.J. Chapman, wrote a not-so-thinly-veiled message on Twitter indicating that the VMA nominee is set to open for the two superstar MCs.

“I’m excited about heading to Detroit tomorrow for a few days,” Chapman wrote late Tuesday night. “B.o.B is performing @ Tiger Stadium w/ GUESS WHO & WHO????”

Jay and Em are of course scheduled to perform at the Detroit Tigers’ new stadium (the team’s old ballpark was known as Tiger Stadium) this Thursday and Friday.

The Atlanta rapper’s other manager, Brian “B.Rich” Richardson, wrote on Twitter on Wednesday that his client would also open for the superstar duo during their New York residency in two weeks, slated for September 13 and 14 in the Bronx.

“New York & Detroit, B.o.B is gonna open up for @EMINEM! and @JayZ!!!” Richardson wrote.

The buzz for the twin pair of concerts continues to build. This week, Jay-Z and the Yankees unveiled co-branded paraphernalia in honor of the New York performances: Jerseys, T-shirts and hats featuring Jay-Z’s The Blueprint 3 insignia will adorn items alongside the team’s classic interlocking “NY” logo.

Fans got a small preview of the much-anticipated pairing earlier this summer when Eminem and Jay-Z visited the “Late Show With David Letterman.” Both MCs performed, and later Eminem delivered the show’s trademark Top 10 list, while Jay-Z sat for an interview with Letterman.

Uh oh…

So a new deal is almost done, but god damnit, no one knows as to where!!! Billboard speculates the Harlem trio is heading to Interscope Records (for real?).

The Set’s previous Diplomatic Immunity albums were distributed through Def Jam and Koch respectively, so it would be more than interesting to see how Mr. Iovine’s plantation handles the project. Stay tuned.

Drake New Album?

50′s former soldier Young Buck has reportedly gotten his honorable discharge,  granting him freedom after years of being stranded on G-Unit.

It seems Young Buck’s tumultuous relationship with 50 Cent’s G-Unit Records has come to an end. According to sources from VladTV, the Nashville, Tennessee rapper will soon announce that he has officially been released from his contract with the label, an obligation which has kept him from releasing new material since being kicked out of G-Unit’s group.

On top of said sources, Buck also noted that he had an announcement coming via Twitter.

If this turns out to be true, there is some cause to celebrate on his part. In various interviews, Buck established that 50 was trying to ruin his career, citing his contract as his weakness.

“[He wants] to pretty much destroy my life from a silent-sided way of doing things. That’s his angle, and my contracts allow him to be able to do that,” he told the Nashville Scene earlier this year.

Now, Buck is focusing on the release of his latest project, The Rehab.
