"RAP CLASSIFIED"

Rewind:

We reported last week that the Feds may indict rapper Young Jeezy before August due to drug trafficking allegations brought to their attention by a former Black Mafia Family (BMF) soldier.

Fast Forward:

Our law enforcement source reveals: The Feds are even more determined to bring Jeezy down since a urban blog reported this week that Jeezy allegedly paid $750,000 in cash to buy his former (famous) girlfriend an Atlanta mansion and then gave her the deed to the property.  According to reports, he also bought this woman a six figure condo and it's rumored, he also bought her a Ferrari.

Jeezy also drives a $250,000 Lamborghini despite sluggish record sales.

Our source adds: "Law enforcement and the IRS is wondering, where did the money come from for this extravagant lifestyle?"

Stay tuned.

RAP CLASSIFIED (CONTINUED)

Lydia Harris (2nd photo) is the former wife of Michael "Harry O" Harris; an imprisoned drug kingpin who helped launch "Death Row Records."

According to Lydia, "When I was married to Michael, I got to know a male friend of his named Dee."  They were from the same hood.  Dee had been sent up after he and a friend were arrested by federal agents for transporting AK-47's.  Mike got to know Dee better in prison and took him under his wing."

"After Dee got paroled, Mike had him accompany me to a meeting with Suge Knight and a woman named Kim; a friend of Suge's.  We made it through the meeting okay but as we were leaving the building, Suge said something disrespectful to Dee and immediately drew his fist back to hit him.  Dee turned around and ran right out of his shoes to his car.  Suge was close behind."

"Dee opened the door and jumped in, slid across the seat and came out on the other side with a .357 Magnum in hand!  Then he pointed it directly at Suge's head.  Suge stopped dead in his tracks."

The drama wasn't over because Kim then snatched open the door of Suge's car and grabbed her 9mm and aimed it at Dee and screamed to Suge, "I got him!  What do you want me to do?"

And then my cell phone rung, it was Mike asking how the meeting went.  Well, what could I say?  Everything had gone crazy and everybody had gone nuts and it was broad daylight and I was standing between two people who were holding loaded guns and Mike asked me to hand the phone to Suge.  He asked Suge what was going on and Suge lied and said that Dee had disrespected me, this was news to me.

What had I gotten myself into?  This was my first real taste of business in the macho world of entertainment and it was my initiation into Suge's world of sabotage, bullying and power and it was a clue to the unacceptable behaviors that had sentenced Suge, Dee and Mike to prison.

SPYCRAFT "ARCHIVES" PRESENTS: “BLACK BLOOD BATH"

Introduction:

We are all familiar with the following atrocities/black blood baths that took place in Rosewood, Florida in 1923 and Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1921 (Black Wall Street) but the following is based on a true story by author Carroll Case who alleges he was threatened while during research for his book, "The Slaughter: An American Atrocity."  Allegedly, the threats ceased somewhat when Case decided to write a fictional account based on a "true" event.  Case also enclosed official documents in his book to support his claims.

"BLACK BLOOD BATH"

The 364th Infantry (an all black squadron) was originally stationed in Phoenix Arizona. In 1942, over 3,000 men belonged to the 364th Infantry. They were a proud and dignified bunch; considered uppity by whites.

The soldiers refused to accept blatant racism and the harsh punishment and unequal treatment dished out by the military. At one point, the soldiers refused to obey orders from their commanding officer.

On Thanksgiving night in 1942, 100 of the men took part in a shootout; there were 15 deaths. 16 men belonging to the 364th were tried by court martial; each received 50 years of hard labor.

The army faced big problems with the 364th. The disobedience may influence other black soldiers to disobey. Solution: Send the 364th to the Deep South to be straightened out. Destination: Mississippi.

As soon as the 364th hit town (on May 28th, 1943) they demanded equal treatment. Mississippi answered quickly when the Sheriff killed one of the soldiers because a button on his uniform was missing.

A race riot ensued between the soldiers and the townspeople. The army’s plan was backfiring.

Between May 30th -June 25th, over 3,000 people participated in the riot and 25 black soldiers were killed.

In the fall of 1943, while the soldiers were doing maneuvers, someone went into the barracks and removed the firing pins from their weapons.

Later that evening, the Military Police were called in as well as riot control. Each soldier was awaken by superior officers and instructed to go line up in formation, outside.

Over 1200 members of the 364th were lined up.

Allegedly, the MP’s and the riot squad opened fire and shot everything that moved. The entire area was sealed off; the men were trapped. They yelled, screamed and begged for their lives as the shooting continued.

When it was over, blood was everywhere. 1200 soldiers of the 364th were massacred. Their bodies were loaded in boxcars and shipped to the South gate of the base where they were covered with lime and buried in long trenches dug by bulldozers.

The army allegedly notified the next-of-kin, saying, the soldiers were killed in combat.

The remaining 1800 members of the 364th were threatened with death if they ever spoke of the massacre. They were all shipped out to Alaska where they remained until the war was over.

The unnamed elderly man approached Diddy as if he was an old friend, and then lashed out at the rapper-turned-style guru. Diddy's entourage quickly surrounded the man, but the rap star guessed he was mentally unstable and insisted he be left alone. Instead, Diddy shook the man's hand, pretended he was an old pal and discovered his would-be assailant was 80 years old.

"BLACK NYPD COP BUSTED FOR ROBBING DRUG DEALERS"

The off-duty Queens cop who allegedly schemed to rob drug dealers is a hip-hop fanatic who drove luxury cars, flashed wads of cash and claimed he was pals with rap superstars 50 Cent and Ja Rule, sources said yesterday.

In 2005, officer Donald Medard even rolled up to the 104th Precinct station house in Maspeth recently behind the wheel of a silver Mercedes-Benz SL500 Roadster, police sources said.

The luxury sports car sells for $93,675 - more than double the 30-year-old cop’s NYPD salary.

“He was coming across like he was a big rap promoter,” said a cop who asked not to be named. “He was always saying he was going away to certain trips … promoting this and that.”

Medard’s street smarts, black belt in karate and work ethic made him seemingly a perfect fit for his precinct’s special narcotics enforcement unit, which targets drug dealers.

But prosecutors say he planned to prey on the same drug dealers during his off time - teaming up with ex-cons in a plot to rob the hoodlums.

Medard and three pals were arrested in Washington Heights early Tuesday after cops found guns, a ski mask and bulletproof vest inside his SUV, police said.

He told cops he was one of the city’s Finest - and then went to grab his 9-mm. Glock service weapon “in a manner that led the arresting officer to fear for his life,” a prosecutor said.

In a videotaped confession, one of Medard’s alleged cohorts, Claude Dorsica, 20, of Elmont, L.I., said the crew was planning to commit robberies, prosecutors said.

“We have reason to believe the defendant was part of a plan to shake down and rob drug dealers in the area,” Assistant District Attorney Joshua Steinglass said at Medard’s arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court.

Medard, an Army veteran who joined the NYPD in 2003, has been charged with gun possession. Cops were checking if he is linked to any unsolved robberies and asked drug dealers to come forward with information.

Medard was stopped 1:30 a.m. by cops at W. 180th St. and Audubon Ave. after a 911 caller told police someone in a black GMC Yukon had committed an assault.

Cops spotted a 9-mm. semiautomatic pistol, a .380-caliber gun and .45-caliber gun in the SUV, court records show. The loaded guns’ serial numbers had been scratched off, sources said.

Even before his arrest, Medard had raised the suspicions of fellow cops because he often carried a bulletproof vest home with him, sources said.

“He was known to have three or four vests [in his station house locker] and he would always come in to work with his vest,” a cop said. “Why do you need four?”

Medard also was outspoken about his desire to leave the NYPD, telling several cops he dreamed of breaking into the hip-hop industry. He distributed flyers touting rappers performing at nightspots including Manhattan’s Club Exit, and claimed to be near signing a $1 million rap contract, sources said.

“He definitely didn’t like working for the NYPD. He felt they were racist to some degree,” a cop said, adding that Medard had blasted officers who he believed had pulled him over while driving because he is black.

Medard’s wife, Kimberly, refused to bring their children, ages 8 and 9, to his arraignment. But she still defended him.

“I guess the police believe their story, but I believe mine,” she said through the door of her Queens Village apartment. “I believe him. I believe in him.”

Medard was being held on $10,000 bail. If he comes up with the cash, authorities will scrutinize where he got it.

Ja Rule’s attorney said the rapper did not know Medard, and 50 Cent’s representatives did not return calls.

"NOSTALGIA" (TAMMI TERRELL & JAMES BROWN'S ABUSIVE ROMANCE)

According to Tammi Terrell's sister Ludie, during one weekend, "Our mother received a distressing telephone call.  Mother was horrified to learn that a 17-year-old Tammi had encountered some trouble on the road and was coming home.  James Brown had beaten her mercilessly and Tammi wanted out."

Singer Gene Chandler was also on the tour and said Tammi was in a tumultuous relationship with James Brown.  He adds, "I witnessed the situation and she came to me for help, then I called her parents."

Ludie adds, "My father was especially hurt because he knew James and he trusted him with Tammi since she was only 17 and he was 30."

"When Tammi returned home she looked disheveled, tired and just worn out.  I learned that night that she had been trying to get away for some time but was worried about breach of contract repercussions."

"While mother and I were unpacking Tammi's things in the basement my mother discovered a blue, silk oriental dress.  It was called a Kimono and James had bought it for Tammi.  This dress had particular significance!  There was blood all over it.  We learned that Tammi's abuse was extensive and that this tragic incident involved an umbrella with horrific results.

BLIND ITEM: "GIRL GROUP"

This black female group remains popular.  Like other black female groups, the public knows the first and last names of each member.

Sadly, while they were on top, they were ripped off so badly (like the majority of other female groups).

One member was so broke, she couldn't even afford food and her ribs were protruding from her rib cage.

She was also on the verge of being evicted from an apartment because she was two months past due on her rent and to top it off, she thought she might be pregnant.

She called music executives affiliated with her label and literally begged for money, telling them, if she had the baby she would have to go on public assistance just to survive and she was broke, hungry and damn near homeless.

They ignored her pleas and hung up in her face.

The pregnancy was a false alarm.

Over the years, this group member had a bad habit of becoming involved with older mean men. Her boyfriend at the time was no exception.

At the funeral of a family member, she became so overcome with grief, she reached out to him to be consoled, instead, he loudly told her in front of her relatives and mourners, keep your hands off me and he then angrily pushed her to the ground. Onlookers looked on in shock.

Who is the group member and who is the group?

Hint: It's not  LeLe of SWV.
