Should El Chapo Be Locked Up In America?

What is the true reason El Chapo is locked up? Is it because he created a Government of his own just like America. If we sell cannabis to get ahead, what did El Chapo do that was different than the Government?

El Chapo owned fields of marijuana plants, so do the Government of the United States. El Chapo pretty much took over Mexico just like America was taken. On top of that, if America had prisoners out of their border, they would fight to get them back. So why is El Chapo in America?

The border wall is only one way to keep the trafficking out so big business in America can control the drug trade. You slow down pounds of marijuana from Mexico, you control the market. It's physics.

But, El Chapo did have his dealing in large quantities of cocaine to the U.S. off the coast of California. In the meantime, they appear to be taking extraordinary measures to prevent a third escape. El Chapo cartel mastermind revealed as ghost crime boss who has never been locked up. So how did he escape the first two times?

El Chapo was born in the rugged mountains of the Sierra Madre, where he grew up in abject poverty before becoming one of the most powerful figures in the Sinaloa cartel. A US attorney says Joaquin Guzman is known for "death and destruction." Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn have charged the world's biggest drug lord with 12 murders.

El Chapo earned a percentage of his business and was soon the top drug producer in Mexico. At his height, his Sinaloa Cartel was said to have been responsible for about half of the meth, heroin, coke, and weed being smuggled into America.

After the FED arrested Juan Guzman, now America has control of his accounts. El Chapo was induced with a chemical truth serum while undergoing hypnosis by the CIA/DEA. How do you think they get suspected murderers to volunteer info of their crimes?

Why isn't El Chapo locked up in his own Country? Why is he here. He is Big Business as if he was the President of the U.S.

Immo DTS - "Paint The Town" @Immo_DTS @xo_major

Brooklyn, New York rapper Immo DTS presents the music video for his new single "Paint The Town", produced by XO Major. Immo DTS and DigitalDaxn worked together to help direct the video. DigitalDaxn also was the camera man involved and Immo DTS edited the video. This is actually the first video that Immo DTS has ever directed or edited.

The track comes on the heels of the recent release of his "Follow The Leader" single stream. Immo DTS states that the song “Paint The Town, is about being a tourist in your own city and putting on for your city as much as you can.

Although the lyrics of the song sounds like I’m talking about going to another place, I was actually inspired by events that have happened here at home. A lot of the time New York natives don’t enjoy our city as much as other people do and it’s a shame because we have everything right here. People travel from near and far to visit where we live. I see New Yorkers travel to LA and South Beach to things that they could do right across the bridge and they could have saved money on the flight.

Is Jay-Z Or Eminem The Best Rapper Right Now?

I know Lil Wayne say's he is the greatest rapper alive, but Fans Favorites wants to know is Jay-Z or Eminem the best right now?

Eminem was named to have the hottest album of the year, but Jay-Z business ventures keeps him in the billionaire eye.

Jay-Z was neck on neck with Eminem on Renegade and about 80% of his albums are number one albums. He didn't write his verse on Brooklyn's finest and as for the Blueprint and the black album, what more can I say. His flows are sick and he has stayed relevant to the game for the past twenty years.

Young Thug Says Jay-Z Doesn’t Have 30 Hit Songs

 

Young Thug was talking with Gillie Da Kid on the latter’s ‎Million Dollaz Worth Of Game podcast and the Atlanta rapper proceeded to jump out the window, figuratively. While bragging that he had 30 songs that would make the crowd go crazy at his shows in arenas, he then proceeded to add that “Jay-Z ain’t got 30 songs like that.”

Now Thugger said that with the utmost confidence. But the look on Gillie’s face said it all. But to be clear, the Philly rapper turned host also diplomatically added, “He got a lot, though.”

The tone, or maybe his thoughts catching up with what he just said, led Thug to walk back that wild statement instantaneously.

B.I.G. SUV Sells For $1.5 Million

One week after the BMW Tupac was shot in on the Vegas strip in 1996 was put on the market for $1.5 million, the SUV Biggie was murdered in in 1997 went up for sale for the same cost.

On Thursday, March 2, it was announced that the sale of the green GMC Suburban the Brooklyn rapper was riding shotgun in when a gunman pulled up alongside the vehicle and took his life in L.A. in 1997, has gone public. Its current owner divulged to TMZ that it was in seeing the price Tupac's car was valued at that she decided to test the market as well.

The owner originally came into possession of the vehicle seven months after B.I.G's murder on March 9 of that year. Intriguingly, she says that the family wasn't even aware of the Suburban's history until 2005, when a detective contacted them to request it as evidence in the rapper's wrongful death trial.

A brand new purchase of the same '97 model today would run a buyer a mere $2,000. But the historical value it now attains is unquestionable with hip hop's rise to rock and roll fame over the past two decades. The passenger seat belt still has a bullet hole in it, to boot. The BMW 750IL Pac was shot in also still had markings of the bullets sprayed into the car, with an indentation in the license plate as well as the door panel. In contrast to the history of the SUV though, Tupac's Beemer has changed hands several times since his shooting.

The Notorious One was gunned down after leaving an industry party in L.A. only six months after Tupac's dramatic death. The fact that his life was stopped on the West Coast, following a public rap beef that was sensationalized by the media as an East vs. West, rivalry has brought the incident to survive with a lasting allure, encapsulated by the time that it took place.

El Chapo Being Extradited To U.S.

Notorious Mexican drug czar Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman is being extradited from Mexico to New York to face charges. A spokesperson for the Mexican Attorney General announced that Guzman was en route to the U.S., but did not reveal the exact location of his destination.

The U.S. Justice Department has been working against Guzman's resistance to extradition to the U.S., where he will face charges for 12 murder conspiracies, drug trafficking, and money laundering. According to the NY Daily News, Guzman will not face the death penalty if extradited, per an agreement the Justice Department made with the Mexican government.

Guzman is expected to be housed in the Metropolitan Correctional Center or the Metropolitan Detention Center in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.

Shooter Identified By Tattoos

In this case, it must suck having tattoos.  A man who survived a shooting that killed his friend identified the shooter by a star tattoo on his neck. That identification by Eric Irons was enough to send the case against 20-year-old Valdis Stapleton Jr. to a grand jury for consideration.

Stapleton is charged with murder in the death of 24-year-old Carlton “C.J.” Martin on June 17 and is expected to face more charges. Irons was the only witness a prosecutor called during Stapleton’s preliminary hearing Monday. The hearing was held to determine if there were enough evidence against Stapleton to possibly link him to the crime and continue the case in the criminal justice system.

Irons, who limped into the courtroom using one crutch, described the terrifying moments that led to the death of his friend and his own wounding. He was with a group of family and friends inside the home at 844 Oak St., preparing to celebrate the release of his stepbrother from prison, when two gunmen approached the house.

People inside the small, ranch-style home ran for cover. Irons and Martin ran into a bedroom to hide in the closet. Irons was hit in the hip by a bullet as he ran for his life but made it into the closet. Martin was shot in the arm and the bullet traveled into his chest, Irons said.

Irons described the shooter as a light-skinned black man wearing a mask covering his face except for his eyes. A star tattoo on his neck was exposed, which Irons said he later picked out in a photo lineup. The shooter followed the two men to the closet and open fired into the closet, Irons said. Martin died a short time later. Only one of the two gunmen entered the home. The shooting happened in Lima, Ohio.
