This past friday i had the responsibility to pick up Justin Elam-Ruff from the airport and take him to the livefromheadqcourterz radio show….thats right this young man after posting this video and shaking up, not only my world, but, also the hip hop world……he made another decision, got on a plane and flew across the country to finish what he started…. the next morning i had the responsibility to take him to the hospital where his uncle remains in a coma..he really hadn’t slept much especially since at around 5am saturday morning…. this and this hit the wire….uhhh huuuhh!!!…
we approached the information desk in the main lobby of the hospital…we were asked “how can i help you gentlemen” by the intake woman at the front desk…Justin replied…”i’m here to visit my uncle keith elam”….the rather nice but professional older woman who asked the first question raised her eyebrow and responded…”lemme check the list”…..her first response after checking the first list was…”well your name is not on this list let me check the other list”……she then continued….”oh ok, your name is on this list”….”i’m sorry i cannot allow you to go see the patient”…yeah let that marinate… it seems like there were two lists…one list (the first list she looked at) had the names of people allowed to visit(the patient) …..the other list(the second list she checked) had the names of people who were not allowed to visit(the patient)
and
JUSTIN NICHOLAS ELAM-RUFF’s name was on that second list….TRUTH!!
oh soooo many questions……
his attempt to see his uncle at this point in the saga was DENIED!!……FACT!!

D’Angelo was arrested early yesterday after allegedly offering an undercover policewoman $40 for oral sex while cruising alone in his car. He also had 12K in the car.
A tribunal has decided that it was wrong for the UK Border Agency to refuse Snoop Dogg entry into the country.
In 2007, Snoop Dogg (real name Calvin Broadus) was denied entry which forced him and Diddy to cancel their tour dates in the UK.
In 2008 the ban was lifted but when the UK Border Agency challenged the decision, it went to an Asylum and Immigration Tribunal. Earlier this week, the tribunal announced its decision that to deny him entry had been wrong.
A spokesperson for the UK Border Agency said, “We are disappointed by the tribunal’s decision in this case. We are studying the determination carefully and will take a decision whether to appeal.”
The ban relates to Snoop’s arrest at Heathrow airport in 2006 following a incident involving members of his entourage.
I caught up with Steve Rifkind during his stay in London. It was a great honour for me to sit down and interview someone who has done alot for Hip Hop music.
In this first part of the interview, I get Steve to break down the Duck Seazon lyrics where RZA says “Stev Rifkind must be sniffin”.
We then get onto speaking about Steve’s first encounters with artists.
He explains how Havoc (Mobb Deep) lit up a blunt during their firs meeting and caused a fire alarm to go off.
I ask him to talk about the first time he met Melanie Fiona and how he thought her manager was “breathtakingly beautiful” and at the time he had just turned single!
The Loud & SRC founder also describes a 16 year old Dame Dash as a “cocky motherfucker” who came into Steve’s office shouting and screaming with his cousin. Rifkind once thought Roc-A-Fella would be his competition.
Steve Rifkind tried revealed he tried to sign Jay-Z but was was frustrated that the Chairman of BMG wouldn’t sign Jigga that he threw everything off the Chairman’s desk.
There’s also a great story about Steve Rifkind throwing a chair threw a window over a Wu Tang record and being led out of the building in handcuffs.
Part 2 coming tomorrow. It includes stories about Akon, Tupac and did the Wu Tang Clan set up Steve by placing a Phantom intern at the label?
