Dipset Associate Wanted For Murder Article

A Dipset associate known as Carlos "Zoo" Thompson has landed on America's Most Wanted list after he ordered a 15 year old child to be shot three years ago.

According to reports, Thompson (32) helped murder 15-year-old Phoenix Garrett after he spotted him selling bootleg CDs of Dipsets albums in Harlem, New York.

Thompson, who's best known as "Zoo," reportedly worked as ab "enforcer" for Dipset , travelling with them to gigs and parties, and "serving as muscle when they encountered enemies from other hip hop factions."

Cops say that on June 16th, 2005, while selling CDs on 144th St. in Harlem, NY, Garrett was approached by Carlos Thompson and a group of his cohorts. After being threatened by Thompson, Garrett reportedly attempted to defend himself by pulling out a box cutter and "slashing at the older man's face."

A brief struggle broke up ending up with Garrett being beat and stomped by Thompson and his crew. After Garrett managed to break away from the group, Thompson reportedly ordered a member of his crew to retrieve a .38 from his car.


The group eventually caught up with Garrett and continued the beating. Thompson then ordered a 13-year-old member of his crew, L'mani Delima, to shoot Garrett.

Garrett was fatally shot five times.

The 13-year-old was apprehended at the scene, he was sentenced to eight years in prison.

Cops are still on the hunt for Thompson who has evading them for nearly three years using funding which cops theorize comes from friends in the Hip Hop community

LA 108 Utah 105 - Game 6

Bryant scored 34 points, 12 in the fourth quarter, and Los Angeles held off a furious rally by the Utah Jazz for a 108-105 victory Friday night in Game 6, putting the Lakers in the Western Conference finals for the first time in four years.

It was the only win by the visiting team in the series and kept the Lakers from having to host a Game 7 on Monday.

"It's a big step for us,'' said Bryant, who also had eight rebounds and six assists. "It shows a lot of character on our part to come in here and come out of here with a victory".

Boston 69 Cleveland 74 - Game 6

Cleveland came up with a big win last night in Game 6 to tie the series 3-3.
Lebron James led the way with 32 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists. He was only 9/23 from the field but scored an impressive 13/15 free throws.
Garnett was the high man for the Celtics with 25 points, Pierce had 16.

Now it's off to Boston for the final game in the series can the Cavs pull it off? If KG keeps playing the way he has it's gonna be real difficult.

MTV's Hottest MC's in the Game #8 Young Jeezy

The Snowman makes the cut with a heap of guest appearances and the promise of a new album.

By Shaheem Reid

In summer 2007, the MTV News Hip-Hop Brain Trust sat down and had another controversial roundtable debate. Unlike previous discussions, the trustees devised a list of not the greatest ever, but the Hottest MCs in the Game right then. The rankings were based on lyrics, flow, impact on the game, success and swagger.

The roundtable recently reconvened and came up with a brand-new list of Hottest MCs. Our experts used the same criteria, but only judged on the past year of hip-hop. Check back to see the whole list right after the show on Friday night! "The Hottest MCs in the Game" airs on MTV Friday at 10 p.m. ET.

Flame Thrower: Young Jeezy

Why He's Hot
He can dominate the show on a posse cut with some of his most mic-savvy peers, then successfully facilitate requests from mainstream mainstays like Mariah Carey and Usher, who call him to sanctify their #1 albums and songs with his seamless street swagger. Young Jeezy is at his pinnacle. Don't misconstrue the ranking: He's #8 with a bullet. We fully expect the Atlanta hustler to rank higher next time. After the release of USDA's LP Cold Summer in mid-2007, Mr. 17.5 shut down publicly to work on his top-secret third album and "count all that money."

Even with a break, the 'hood's loyalty toward him has remained, and when he re-emerged on records like Shawty Lo's "Dey Know" remix and Rick Ross' "Luxury Tax," it was evident he was setting himself up for a run at the crown. His placements of late — the actual songs he's chosen to get on — have been flawless, ranging from chart hits to club anthems. The Snowman's rhyme-dispensing on these records has also been stellar. He's improving as a lyricist, and he has so much swag that you can tell he's inspired a whole brood of new southern MCs to bite his style.

Apathetic to his clones, Jeezy is ready to go all the way over the top with it on his next album. Three years since the release of his classic Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101, he feels that the experience he has under his belt has made him a better artist. Not a hustler who raps, but an artist. Young is dedicated to his craft, as his new collaboration with Kanye West, "Put On," proves. Don't pack your heavy coat away yet. The Snowman will keep the summer on frio.

Co-Signer: Kanye West
"When I say good rap voice, that's Jeezy. ... When he hears the track, his voice is so signature, he can just say whatever he wants. But then he don't even just say what he wants. He was one of the people post-Andre 3000 to gain that respect for the South lyrically — Wayne, T.I. and Jeezy — post-Scarface and 3000 and Trick Daddy, that era of rappers.

Me and Jeezy are the exact same artist except from a different place. I'm inspirational, he's motivational. The lyrics push you to do something in a way. My thing is maybe there is some hope, maybe there's some light at the end of the tunnel. 'Keep your head to the sky' type sh--. His thing is, if there ain't no light at the end of the tunnel, dig your way through it. Get up and do something about it."

Blistering Ballistics
"This n---a's insane, yeah a straight fool/ A half-a-million-dollar car and some house shoes/ Call the dealership, like why y'all trick me?/ Then why the hell you put my engine where my trunk be?/ I'm throwing Franklins, I don't need ones/ I smoke a pound every week like I don't need lungs/ ... I said I'm so hot, but my house cool/ So many rooms it looks like a high school."

In case you didn't know T.I. was #10 and Andre 3000 is #9

There's no point in even debating these MTV lists anymore it's clear to anyone that knows anything about rap that it's total bullshit. Don't tell me Lil Wayne is gonna be no 1 again with maybe Kanye and Lupe 2 & 3 with 50 or Game somewhere in the mix.

All i know is Im tired of so called "industry people" tyring to tell us what's hot when in truth they haven't got a fuckin clue.

So stay tuned people im gonna do the real hottest in the game list and do it right.
Futhermore the title "hottest in the game" is officially dead. The people don't dictate who's poppin now they let hot 97 do it for them. Not since Jay-z took over the game in the late 1990's, Eminem blowing up and resurrecting Dre's career (who then resurrected Snoop's) or 50 Cent locking down the game in 03 has anyone been the "hottest right now" so that title has got to go.

This time we gon do it right y'all feel me

Playoff Round Up

David West had career playoff highs of 38 points, 14 rebounds and five blocked shots, lifting New Orleans to a 101-79 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night and a 3-2 series lead.


Kevin Garnett had 26 points and 16 rebounds, and Rajon Rondo added 20 points and 13 assists as the Celtics beat the Cavaliers 96-89 on Wednesday night to move within a win of the Eastern Conference finals


Bryant scored 26 points, his teammates kept Utah at bay down the stretch, and Los Angeles Lakers extended the stunning home success by NBA teams in the second round of the playoffs, beating the Jazz 111-104 on Wednesday night to take a 3-2 lead in the Western Conference semifinals


Detroit set an NBA playoff record with just three turnovers and made just enough shots and stops to advance to their sixth straight Eastern Conference final with a 91-86 win Tuesday night over the Orlando Magic in Game 5 of the second-round series.

Richard Hamilton scored 31 points, made victory-sealing free throws late in the game and Tayshaun Prince had a key block to help Detroit eliminate Orlando.

The Pistons are the first franchise to play in six conference finals in a row since the Los Angeles Lakers went to eight straight in the 1980s.

"Now we expect to do this," Hamilton said. "We're supposed to be here."



So the way it's lookin it could be a Detroit vs Boston Eastern Conference final but I wouldn't count Lebron or the Cavs out just yet.
Same way in the West it's lookin like it's gonna be LA vs New Orleans in the final but you never can tell

That's what I love about the playoffs nothing is certain and no team is lookin totally unstoppable either (unlike the Spurs last year) so it's gonna be real interesting. Im hoping for a New Orleans vs Detroit final.
Chris Paul has definately been my favourite player this season and really he should've got MVP but still can't hate on Kobe for gettin it (unless you're Shaq) and Lebron James is still THAT dude really hope the Cavs can take out Boston but they gotta beat them at home.
