The single-story palatial residence was originally meant for Bruce Kanter, who was the former Chief Financial Officer in the Westwood One radio network. He had lived in the Mansion for 20 Years since its construction before selling it to YO Gotti who surprisingly added $100k on top of the quoted price. The mansion is built in a guard gated Community that provides home for who is who in L.A including Disney CEO Bob Chapek, NFL star Cooper Kupp and Wrestling Superstar The Miz.

 

Yo Gotti justified the high spending on the lavish Westlake Village Mansion by saying that the Mansion was in high demand and he wanted to make sure that it doesn’t slip-off his hands to a higher bidder. During an earlier 2020 interview with Yahoo Finance, he expressed his interest and passion to invest in Real Estate and the passion to customize and fix old properties to regain a reasonable market value.

 

The artist is also an Entrepreneur and a member of the CMG Music group and recording label. He explained, “Real estate was one of the first things I was doing, I kinda’ like mistakenly fell into that. He claimed to have bought himself a house earlier in his career to safe guard his uncertain future incase anything went wrong. However, since he purchased the house, he never got to live there and so he was renting out and that inspired him to buy more houses as his careers flourished and he was making more money from concerts and performances.

Portland’s new way of using Music to pave way for Justice

As dozens of Portland police office resign from their call of duty, hip-hop cannot be ignored for what it has done to bring justice to the people of this great region. Hip-hop community in Portland is not that big but a small one which is vibrant. In recent years we have seen growth. A lot has happened during this corona period and social justice has been affected too. Before this happened, hip-hop was involved in many activities in Portland concerning social justice. Thigs are beginning to change as people become immunized with a vaccine and we have been noticing the new generation of vibrant youths coming up and starting doing a live music in the city.

We happen to meet a The Portland’s hip-hop artist by the name Vursatyl The Great who has been in the game for almost fifty years now.  He states that hip-hop in Portland started with the dance and he himself was a pop locker and in 1979, he started to rap.

Vursatyl The Great THEURBANSPOTLIGHT.COM

Vursatyly the Great went on to become one of the city’s greatest artist when he was in a group called trio Lifesavas. Early 2000s, the group saw great success as they put out two records with Quannum Projects, the much loved label and underground hip-hop collective of the same name. They included most of musicians from the region like Blackalicious, Lateef the Truthspeaker, Lyrics and DJ Shadow.

Here is his latest jam that has served us a glimpse of the where he has come from:-

Even though there is great success that has been noticed over the years, Vursatyl says that Pacific Northwest has always been blocking this great hip-hop. “That’s been the challenge — to try to kind of develop the image of Portland to be something other than the whitest [big] city in America,” he says. Even though hip-hop is always related to people of color, but that perspective has to be changed in the Portland because majority of the people are white and hip-hop has already moved from being a black people’s genre, to being a music for all.

The perception has changed In recent years with emergence of young hip-hop stars whose music has garnered billions of views, meaning the people’s perspective has changed. Things are changing and soon we will be noticing a totally new Portland.

50 Cent Promised the B.M.F Show will blow the Airwaves over fresh updates on B.M.F Release

On Monday June 14th, AllHipHop.com reported that US District Judge David M. Lawson granted Black Mafia Family Co-founder Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory a reduction of his sentence by 3 years. Big Meech will therefore be released by 2028 and not 2031. The prison sentence was reduced from 360 months to 324 months which is an equivalent of 3 years’ prison sentence.

50 CENT was intrigued by the Black Mafia Family story leading him to create a Television show to capture the history and operations of the Black Mafia Multi-Million Underground Organization. 50 Cent shared his excitement with an Instagram post which captioned the original article, he promised the STARZ Television series will be a huge success.

50 cent THEURBANSPOTLIGHT.COM

He captioned a screenshot of the article in his post, “Now you know this BMF Show is gonna Blow everything off the Fucking T.v, the real Shit different, Green light Gang.” Big Meech was convicted for running an illegal Underground Organization dealing with illegal drugs and money laundering. The organization was dismantled by the FBI in 2007. Since its inception in the late 1990’s up to when Big Meech was arrested, the organizations net worth was estimated to be over $270 Million from drugs and money laundering proceeds. The criminal enterprise had overgrown itself and the F.B.I had no option than to shut it down to contain the notorious drug distribution ring around the United States.

Meech had earlier in 2020 attempted to use the corona virus menace as an excuse to secure an early release to no avail. However, in April 2020, his brother and business partner secured his release over the Corona virus narrative. Big Meech met the criteria for an early release under USSG amendments 782 and 788. The Amendments revised the drug quantity and chemical quantity tables for all drug related offenses.
