MAKING OF THROUGH THE WIRE (CLASSIC)

JAY-Z FROM POVERTY TO POWER

Making It With Music - Jay-Z

Another music mogul that made his way from the bottom to the top is Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter. Carter is as much a businessman as he is a performer, but began his life in the Brooklyn's Marcy Housing Projects. Carter was raised by his mother, and was involved in crime when growing up - at 12 he shot his brother in the arm for stealing his jewelry.

Carter began as a rapper and went on to become involved in everything from nightclubs and clothing to being a part owner of the New Jersey Nets. As of 2009, Carter was worth over $150 million according to Forbes, and seems to be broadening his reach in the business world.

"I wrote, produced, arranged and recorded this record more than four years ago and it just recently surfaced on the web as a "new" song".

"Being original means having the courage to be different".

"Though this song never ended up on any of my albums, I'm glad it's in the universe now because it's always been one of my favorites". - Ryan Leslie

XXL is proud to announce that Cam’ron and The U.N. will be joining the 2010 freshman class onstage this Wednesday (March 31) at the Freshman ’10 Live Concert at New York City’s Highline Ballroom.

Cam and crew will be headlining the show, which will showcase six of this year’s new breed of hustlers: Pill, Nipsey Hussle, Jay Rock, Donnis, Big Sean and Freddie Gibbs.

The concert, scheduled to start at 9 p.m., will be hosted by Power 105.1 FM’s DJ Envy and sponsored by MTV2 and Corona.

ARENAS VS. CRITTENTON

Suspended Washington Wizards star Gilbert Arenas was ordered Friday to spend 30 days in a halfway house for his conviction on gun charges stemming from a locker-room confrontation with a teammate.

District of Columbia Superior Court Judge Robert E. Morin sentenced Arenas to 400 hours of community service, which cannot be conducted at basketball clinics, and a $5,000 fine.

Arenas pleaded guilty to violating the city’s gun laws in a Dec. 21 incident at Verizon Center. After an argument over an unpaid gambling debt, Arenas brought several guns to the team locker room and set them in front of Javaris Crittenton’s(notes) locker with a sign telling him to “PICK 1.”

“The evidence is that both of you felt disrespected,” Morin told Arenas of the dispute over a few hundred dollars’ debt from a poker game. “Rather than acting like mature adults, you escalated the incident” by bringing guns to practice.

Crittenton pleaded guilty in January to a misdemeanor gun charge and received a year of unsupervised probation.

The maximum term for Arenas’ crime is five years. The sentencing guidelines for someone with his record call for six months to two years, although those guidelines also allow for probation.

Gilbert Arenas avoids jail, gets two years probation along with his 30 days in a halfway house.
