Waka Flocka’s Mother’s Pink Friday Review
I can’t say I agree (I liked the album), but in no way can I be mad at Deb Antney’s opinion of Nicki’s first effort (spotted in VIBE):
It’s terrible. I like some stuff, but she went too left. I don’t think people were ready for her to come [out with pop]. When I had Nicki, I really wanted her to sing. That’s why I took her for training cause Nicki loves singing, but she kept saying to me, ‘Deb, I can’t do it yet because people won’t understand.’ And that’s why the [rap] mixture was done to introduce them to all of Nicki. I think [Pink Friday] was very disappointing to a lot of her fans. She didn’t need a lot of [the] features. That was one of the biggest things like… you gave people so many features, give them you now. Nicki could be so much better because—outside of anything that people say—she’s very multi-talented. I really wish that she would learn to be more of an artist.
I didn’t particularly care for [“Roman’s Revenge”], but when Eminem came in I liked it. He made the song. [Nicki] didn’t have to go there with [Lil’ Kim]. My views on that is that she came too far to go back that route. And Kim does not even have to go there. There are no comparisons to them. Some things are best left unsaid. The whole things is stupid. I’m very disappointed that she would go that route. ‘Cause I know all that she was taught. She don’t have to go there with anybody. That was the stuff we always discussed. People had to learn to love Nicki— that’s how the door opened up. It wasn’t about Kim or Foxy or any of the rest of them. So I was just a little disappointed [by her album], but If she likes it, I love itâ€.
G. Dep Confesses To Murder
From MTV News:
Former Bad Boy MC G. Dep admitted this week to fatally shooting a man nearly 20 years ago.
The New York Post reports that on Wednesday, the 36-year-old rapper, born Trevell Coleman, walked into the 25th precinct in Harlem and confessed to killing a man way back in 1993.
“I shot and killed someone 17 years ago,” he reportedly told an officer at the precinct.

According to the Post report, Dep told police that he was riding a bike when he approached his victim, 32-year-old John Henkel, on Park Avenue and East 114th street near the James Weldon Johnson housing projects. Dep, just 18 years old at the time, was planning to rob Henkel, but when he resisted, shot him three times in the chest with a .40-caliber hand gun. He then fled from the crime scene and threw the gun into the East River. Henkel was pronounced dead at St. Luke’s hospital.
The crime took place in the 23rd precinct, so investigators from that station house were contacted. William Dunn, a detective at the 23rd precinct, reportedly reviewed the case, which had gone cold, and found that the rapper’s story went hand-in-hand with what was on file.
G. Dep was charged with murder for the 1993 shooting, and is being held without bail.
A police source, in an attempt to explain why Dep would suddenly confess to the crime, said “It was just eating away at him.”
“My client is presumed innocent, and the case is going to grand jury,” said G-Dep’s lawyer, Michael Alperstein.
G. Dep came to hip-hop’s attention in 1998 with a guest appearance on “The Mall,” from Gang Starr’s Moment of Truth LP. He signed to Diddy’s Bad Boy Records the same year, and released his debut LP, Child of the Ghetto, in 2001. Despite two well-regarded singles, “Let’s Get It” and “Special Delivery,” the album was heavily bootlegged and failed to move many units. He later split with Bad Boy Records, and in 2004 dropped a mixtape, The Deputy: The Sheriff Is Back in Town Volume 1. But since 2003, he’s racked up 25 arrests for crimes ranging from drugs to burglary to grand larceny.
Charles Hamilton Arrested For Assault…
…damn. Just…damn. Spotted on Rap Radar:
Where is Charles Hamilton? Well, he was arrested last week in Ohio for assault. Details are sketchy, but he allegedly was causing a disturbance at various bars. When he was confronted by a cop, he punched the officer in the face. Apparently he’s still in custody with bail set at $25,000. [Above] is the case information.
