New York's Hot 97 was the setting for two recent high-profile shootings, and now the radio station has become a target itself -- of artists and activists who charge that it promotes violence in the hip-hop community. On Friday, in the wake of the much-hyped February 28th shootout between associates of 50 Cent and the Game and the beginning of the Lil' Kim perjury trial involving a 2001 shootout, rappers Afrika Bambaataa, M1 of Dead Prez, Roxanne Shante and other members of the newly formed Hip-Hop Coalition held an anti-Hot 97 rally in New York's Union Square Park.  Hot 97 has been hit with a barrage of blame for the last 6 weeks with everything from the Morning Crews playing of Tsunami song and the shooting outside of the station of a entourage of the Game.  They are trying to spin positive and doing the best to whether the storms. 

Lil' Kim yesterday painted herself as a victim of zealous prosecution in the 2001 shoot out outside hot 97 Studios.  Prosecutors alleged that she lied to protect two shooters in her entourage, the old manager Damion Butler and a pal Suif Jackson.  Lil' Kim was traumatized by the shooting and rightly so, for it is not everyday that someone sees a shooting in front of them.  Little Kim, said JC felt traumatized by the shooting, and by prosecutors questioning in the grand jury room.  Lil' Kim, whose real name is Kimberly Jones is a 4 foot 11 rap star, who is a bundle of fun.  Kim said this she did not remember seeing Damion that day, and the prosecutors did not believe her.  Anyone who has been a victim of violence happening in front of them knows that a lot of details becomes surreal and you forget, a lot of things.

 Lil' Kim was found guilty of several charges last week!  Of the charges that she was found guilty, see faces up to 20 years in jail.

Last Saturday was the Soul Train Music Awards.  It was a star-studded event of artists from around the world.

The charges were brought against the entertainer, whose real name is Kimberly Jones, by prosecutors who accused her of lying to a grand jury investigating a 2001 shooting involving members of her entourage.  Authorities said the shooting occurred as Lil' Kim's entourage was leaving the station, WQHT, or Hot 97, and the entourage of rival rap group Capone-N-Noreaga was arriving. One man in the group's entourage was wounded.

Of Course the shootout occurred the same year Lil' Kim, known for her revealing outfits and risque lyrics, won a Grammy Award for her part in the hit remake of "Lady Marmalade."

"American Idol" sensation Mario Vasquez, the Bronx crooner, and one of 12 finalists, mysteriously bowed out of Fox TV smash hit show American Idol, citing personal reasons!  The sudden departure of the 28-year-old contender had fans running to the web site only to find his name and picture strangely deleted from the message boards.  Ask is himself could not be reached for comment.  Semifinalists and.  Smith, who was voted out last week, will return to the competition, taking over the slot vacated by baskets.  Smith, the son of famed St. Louis shortstop Ozzie Smith was picked because he received more votes than Travis Tucker.  During the last week's competition Smith earned his position in and take over for the 12 finalists after Mario left.  Marios family was surprised, his mother more so for us he was surprised as well.  When the reporters showed up, she claimed it was the first day she had heard of it (Mario leaving).  Mario was a favorite by the fans to win on American Idol.  Mario Vazquez, the Latino heartthrob who won fans with his smooth renditions of Stevie Wonder's "Do I Do" and the Bee Gees' "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart," "has withdrawn from the competition for personal reasons," Fox announced Sunday afternoon. A Fox spokesman refused further comment.
