Lil’ Wayne Dancers Charged For Assaulting Waitress

Two of rapper Lil Wayne’s ghetto dancers were arrested and charged with assaulting a waitress during a dispute over splitting a check at a P.F. Chang’s resturant.
Della Hamby, 26, (top) of North Hollywood, Calif., and Jennifer Slaughter, 24, of Auburn Hills, Mich., were charged with third-degree assault and second-degree breach of peace.
According to the Hartford Courant, Hamby, Slaughter, and another woman who was not charged attacked the waitress because she advised them that they should have asked to be allowed to split the check at the beginning of the meal and not at the end.
The women paid and left, but they later returned to retrieve a cell phone that one had left behind. They swore at the waitress and threatened her. Then, witnesses told police, one pulled the waitress’s hair while the other punched her. They threw the waitress to the floor and continued punching her, police said.
The third patron did not participate in the beating, police said. The waitress sustained minor injuries. A worker at the restaurant said Monday that she was OK.
Police found the suspects across New Britain Avenue from the mall, in front of the Old Navy store.
A spokeswoman for P.F. Chang’s said she could not comment on the incident because “this is an active investigation.” West Hartford police said Monday their investigation into the incident was closed with the arrests of Slaughter and Hamby.

DMX Prison Stay Extended For Sneaking Drugs In Prison

DMX just scored an extended stay in his Arizona prison after the rapper was allegedly caught with drugs behind bars … but that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, DMX broke SEVERAL rules in Yuma state prison since January — including drug possession, failing or refusing a drug test, smoking when he wasn’t supposed to, being disrespectful, disruptive, and disorderly … the list goes on.
A rep for the prison wouldn’t specify what kind of drug officials found on the rapper.
All told, DMX had seven disciplinary infractions — and we’re told, he’ll be stuck in Yuma prison for AT LEAST another week … and possibly much longer.
X was supposed to be released tomorrow, seven months after he was sentenced to serve time for a probation violation.

Foxy Brown Mooning Charge Dropped

From Rap Radar:
Foxy has another reason to pull her skirt up after a NY judge dismissed charges on her violating an order of protection filed by her neighbor Arlene Raymond. According to various reports, Raymond decided not to take the stand and testify against the rapper. If found guilty, Fox faced up to a year in jail. Following the court appearance, Foxy said of the woman she struck with a Blackberry in 2007:
“It’s rooted in jealousy, it’s a scarying thing like borderline obsession,” she said. “Someone wants to be you and have the life I worked very hard for.”

Welcome Home Gucci (Miami Edition)

Since Gucci Mane’s release from jail this past weekend, he’s been celebrating non-stop. Last night, he visited the King Of Diamonds in Miami with Ace Hood and journalist to the stars, Shaheem Reid. For the latest edition of Rap Radar’s Guest List, Sha gives us his take on the festivities.

What’s up Rap Radar fam? I’m down in Miami shooting something real special with the homie Ace Hood. About 2 A.M. this morning, we hit King of Diamonds, which is so over the top right now (in a great way.) Besides women dancing (Chi Chi you have plenty of jokes!), they had a series of boxing matches. How crazy is that? I missed RAW last night (what up CM Punk?) But got my fill of squared circle action. Lol.
Gucci was there with his crew including Coach K and Twin. Mr. LaFlare was all smiles, says he’s “doing great. Doing excellent” since coming home. N.O.R.E. was in the building as well. It was all love. Funniest thing in the world was watching Ace and Gucci throw stacks at the girls while they fought. One chick got laid out Debo style… Brutal… Last thing, the new phrase is “packs on packs on packs.” The ones come in packs of thousands wrapped in plastic. Lol.

A Fare Slice (I.C. NYC Episode 3)

In 1980, New Yorker Eric Bram noticed that for twenty years the price of a subway token had tended to match the price of a slice of pizza. Thirty years later, his hypothesis still holds true. The question we wanted answered is WHY. Are the MTA and the various supposedly independent pizza shops involved in collusion – or who’s taking their pricing cues from who? And what about the dollar pizza spots that have been popping up all over Manhattan recently — could these be predicting a lower cost transit authority appearing in our future?

Bun B Hosts RedBull EmSee Battle Rap Competition

2010 Highlights

Hosted by Bun B, the tournament will be judged by West Coast rappers Too $hort, Casual of Hieroglyphics and Crooked I of Shady Records crew Slaughterhouse—who will all also perform at the event.

The invitation-only battle series searches for the best freestyle rappers in the country. In a series of challenges designed to weed out the weak, contestants rap over beats and acappella, respond to visual cues and generally showcase their “technique, creativity and dexterity.”

The finals will take place this fall in Atlanta, where the winner will receive the opportunity to record with a top producer of their choice.

After this round, the contest will make stops in Philadelphia, Houston, Boston, Detroit and Miami. The Seattle stop will take place on July 28 at The Crocodile. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit here

Jay-Z Watch The Throne Listening

Last night after leaving the Yankee game Hov held a private listing party while Kanye was in Paris.

According to Billboard, Jay played 11 tracks. Odd Future’s Frank Ocean is featured on two. As of now, there’s no release date for the project.

Hov says it took three stages for the album to be completed. Some records were even scrapped for being too lavish. The recording process stretched over three continents (Australia, NY, LA, Paris) with him and Ye recording entirely together. He prefers not to release a traditional single, but hopes to shoot a video for the Beyonce-featured track, “Lift Off”.

Jay also revealed that he’s already two tracks in for his next solo album. One of them will also feature Frank Ocean.
