TERRANCE DEAN AUTHOR OF "HIDING IN HIP-HOP DESCRIBES WHO THE DOWN LOW MEN ARE IN HIP-HOP ???



Can you guess who these industry men are? Leave your comments
“Malcolm” A record mogul who has diversified his success in music, business, clothing, and politics and who always has a stunning woman on his arm, had his boy toy in VIP with him (at an industry party)

“Gus”
An R&B singer/songwriter who had written major hits for artists including En Vogue, SWV and Changing Faces. His clear skin, dark eyes, bushy eyebrows and short wavy hair….he was just too pretty. He eventually became a “gangster styled” artist.

“Craig”
Top rapper who was a part of a successful rap group that changed the dynamics of hip-hop with their philosophical rhymes over hard-core beats. Craig garnered attention because of his rugged good looks that made him a standout in the group.

“Drake”
He was a member of one of the most popular R&B groups. They had several number one Billboard hits, and the young girls loved him because the adorable, sexy front singer, Drake had a flamboyant stage presence. He was very eccentric in his style, defying more conventional looks in his appearance. Drake didn’t hold back when he performed either…showing his muscular frame. [He] branched out on his own as a solo artist and had a huge hit single which led to a few acing roles in major motion pictures.

“Eli”
A popular multiplatinum rapper who started his own label. Eli was a forced to be reckoned with. He flew out the gate with his debut album and would become a mainstay in the ever-changing Hip Hop industry. He has been hailed as one of the greatest rappers to bless the mic.

“Quinn”
He had a velvet melodic voice and broke out with a sensual single in the late 90’s. His self-titled debut album produced two top Billboard hits.

“Galvin”
Once a part of a legendary R&B group who had experienced a brief stint as a successful solo artist, was allegedly linked romantically to an A-list male actor.

Judge Rules 50's Ex Must Leave Mansion

By Tai Saint Louis
Rapper 50 Cent has won the latest round in a series of court battles with ex-girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins, the mother of his 10-year-old son.

A Long Island housing court judge ruled yesterday that Tompkins must vacate the $2.4 million Dix Hills, New York home, where she has reportedly been living with 50's son as well as her daughter from another relationship and her boyfriend.

During a hearing yesterday (April 3) at the Suffolk County Third District court, a judge recognized 50 Cent, born Curtis Jackson, as the rightful owner of the 5,000-square foot house.

The judge ordered that Tompkins must find a new living arrangement by the end of the 2007-2008 school year.

She must also pay Jackson a total of $9,000.

In a February court appearance, a judge reduced the amount of child support 50 was responsible for from $25,000 to $6,700 per month, which was to provide Tompkins the funds needed to find a new home.

The G-Unit boss and his attorney maintain she's made no attempts to do so.

"To have her living there with her boyfriend and several other people is inappropriate," the artist said following the two hour hearing. "She's in the house with people I'm not responsible to pay housing for."

The hearing came after Tompkins filed a lawsuit in Manhattan on Wednesday (April 2), accusing 50 of "breach of contract," alleging that he promised to provide housing for her and her children.
