Dissing Jay-Z didn’t work, nor did linking up with 50 Cent ’cause now the tax man is after Beanie Sigel. The Philly rapper is charged with failing to file his taxes and reporting his gross income for three years! According to the Philadelphia’s  District Court, Beanie didn’t pay taxes on $1.5 million from 2003-2005. DAMN!

If convicted, the former Roc Boy could spend three years in the pen. And according to his lawyer, Fortunato Perri Jr. he’s likely to plead guilty.

Whatever happened to hiring an accountant? Looks like Beanie needs to hit the studio quick! Wonder if homie 50 will lend him a couple thousands. Ha!

Nas is requesting that Def Jam do one thing…just put his sh*t out! Looks like Def Jam is putting the God Son through the ringer and quite frankly he’s tired of it. Wouldn’t you be? The Queens rapper wants to give the people want they want and wants the bosses over at Def Jam to do the same.

Check out Nas’ well written letter below…

From: Nas
To: LA Reid, Steve Bartels, Steve Gawley, Michael Seltzer, Joseph Borrino, Chris Hicks
Subject: PUT MY S*** OUT!

Peace to all,

With all do respect to you all, Nas is NOBODY’s slave. This is not the 1800?s, respect me and I will respect you.

I won’t even tap dance around in an email, I will get right into it. People connect to the Artist @ the end of the day, they don’t connect with the executives. Honestly, nobody even cares what label puts out a great record, they care about who recorded it. Yet time and time again its the executives who always stand in the way of a creative artist’s dream and aspirations. You don’t help draw the truth from my deepest and most inner soul, you don’t even do a great job @ selling it. The #1 problem with DEF JAM is pretty simple and obvious, the executives think they are the stars. You aren’t…. not even close. As a matter of fact, you wish you were, but it didn’t work out so you took a desk job. To the consumer, I COME FIRST. Stop trying to deprive them! I have a fan base that dies for my music and a RAP label that doesn’t understand RAP. Pretty f***** up situation

This isn’t the 90?s though. Beefing with record labels is so 15 years ago. @ this point I just need you all to be very clear where I stand and how I feel about “my label.” I could go on twitter or hot 97 tomorrow and get 100,000 protesters @ your building but I choose to walk my own path my own way because since day one I have been my own man. I did business with Tommy Mottola and Donnie Einer, two of the most psycho dudes this business ever created. I worked well with them for one major reason……. they believed in me. The didn’t give a f*** about what any radio station or magazine said….those dudes had me.

Lost Tapes is a movement and a very important set up piece for my career as it stands. I started this over 5 years ago @ Columbia and nobody knew what it was or what it did but the label put it out as an LP and the fans went crazy for it and I single handlely built a new brand of rap albums. It’s smart and after 5 years it’s still a head of the game. This feels great and you not feeling what I’m feeling is disturbing. Don’t get in the way of my creativity. We are aligned with the stars here, this is a movement. There is a thing called KARMA that comes to haunt you when you tamper with the aligning stars. WE ARE GIVING THE PEOPLE EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT. Stop throwing dog s*** on a MAGICAL moment.

You don’t get another Nas recording that doesn’t count against my deal….PERIOD! Keep your b******* $200,000.00 fund. Open the REAL budget. This is a New York pioneers ALBUM, there ain’t many of us. I am ready to drop in the 4th quarter. You don’t even have s*** coming out! Stop being your own worst enemy. Let’s get money!

-N.Jones

Now that’s gangsta!

Sidebar: LMAO @ the execs wanting to be stars! Why won’t they just let Nas be great?!

Is Nas wrong for airing out his label?

ET got the inside scoop of Nicki Minaj’s new video “Right Through Me”. “The concept of the video is boy-and-girl relationship drama, you know, all of the intimate stuff as well as the fighting as well as the self-reflecting type stuff”, says Nicki. “It’s basically just a love story told from the perspective of a very hard girl who doesn’t want to give in but she has to.”

She adds,
“The song to me is very, very personal. I haven’t spoken about an authentic relationship since I’ve come out. … Not everybody is rich, not everyone likes jewelry, not everybody likes playing dress-up, but everyone has been in a relationship at some point in their lives, so when you hear a relationship song, it’s like, you react.”

Nicki’s debut album Pink Friday is set to hit stores on November 23rd.

Looks like the Internet wins again! Eminem’s highly anticipated video for his Lil Wayne-assisted single “No Love” off his double platinum-selling album Recovery is set to premiere tonight at 7:56 PM on MTV, but it’s was leaked on the net. Peep the video below…

ON DECK or OFF DECK?!

Real talk…”Space Bound” should’ve been Eminem’s next single.
