Ruff Ryders CEO Faces 20 Years
Ruff Ryders CEO, Darrin “Dee” Dean, was indicted yesterday (August 29) on drug and weapons charges stemming from an arrest earlier this year.Darrin Dean (also known as David Jones Green) and driver, Jerry Gilbert, were arrested on May 31 by the Palisades Interstate Parkway police after a traffic stop for a broken tail light.
Police said they smelled marijuana, so they conducted a search leading to the discovery of 1½ kilos of cocaine and a loaded .45 caliber handgun hidden in a customized floor compartment.
Both men were charged with possession of cocaine, possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, possession of a handgun and possession of a handgun while conducting narcotics violations. They were released from the Bergen County Jail on bail of $342,500 on June 1. They were indicted by the Bergen County grand jury and if they are convicted, both men face up to 20 years.
Talib and Swizz Get Under 10
On a lighter note, Talib Kweli and Swizz Beats have broken into the top 10 on the Billboard charts.Talib Kweli’s “Ear Drum” debuted at the No. 2 spot with 60,000 copies sold. As Kweli’s third solo album, this is the first time the Brooklyn rapper has reached the Top 10. A few spots below is Swizz Beatz’s “One Man Band” at No. 7, which moved 45,000 units.
Congrats to both!

i thought swizz and talib was goin to jail to the title leads you on
lol now that you say that.. it does seem like that
lol...yeah, I also thought the same thing when I read the heading and was like WTF, then when I read it I was like "Woooh"
damn thats all they sold rappers aint sellin shit now days
Note to all u so called street pharmacist: Nigga, don’t move weight in a fucken van (van’s a suspicious by nature)yet alone one w/ a broken light & most importantly, don’t smoke ur kush while you moving that white in the back of a van. C’mon B… & he’s suppose to be a CEO of a company? Ok we all know double R ain’t sell shit this year, last year or the Damn year before & son needs to eat & support his life style,…but God Daaaamn, haven’t he got Dra-gon or kartoon, both these niggas on the label doing what? or don’t he got some other weed carrier on double R to do dirt for him?
I can’t even feel sorry for this knuckle head, Yo DA book this nigga give him 15 years, its’ a wrap…..NEXT! plus this niggas is from NY & they get caught in Jersey? Wow that’s called interstate trafficking,….for real it’s WRAP
Nigga wit all dat said, and you supposed to be a street nigga, how in the fuck can you say give dat nigga 15 years?? dat shit fake, you coulda left dat last part out!
Nigga who the fuck told u I was street? Did u read it somewhere? Nigga I’m from Brooklyn, that don’t make me street, I play Foot ball, that don’t make me street. I know the ways of my streets in Flatbush. I’ve seen mo’fuckaz push weight, I still go home I know what’s really good. It’s common fucken sence, I say give him 15 cuz he dumb, he a CEO of a company, he has no business puffin kush in a fucken van full of coke,…
Plus who the fuck is u? Ruff riders spoke person? Get off my nuts man, it’s my opinion,…deal w/ it
Bang the gavel playboy....
duke was, in Common's words, "Standin' in front of the judge wit' no honor." hahahhaaaa
ok i may have missed something here! Where does it say that he was in a van?
sales are down like a motherfucker, and 20 years sucks but good to hear theres still a few real niggas in da game makin moves unlike all these fake cats like Lil' Wayne.
haha thats for u scril
You're saying getting locked up for guns and into to selling cocaine is bring real? Man niggas need to wake up.
*intent
ya i mean im sure u never caught a case like that and compared to da real shit waynes doin ya its gettin there
I guess I just see ALL rappers as actors. Just like gangster movies, if al pacino was actually shootin' niggas up i would say he nuts. But I can't even count how many times I've watched scarface. I don't see it as real or not, it's just entertainment to me. Nobody that's really doing the shit is gonna rat themselves out on a major level like these rappers do
Talib's album is boring as hell. I BOUGHT IT. Track 3 is FIRE though....
And I KNOW I'm gonna take heat for this, but I'm REALLY, REALLY likin' Fergie's album... I'm thinkin' bout coppin' it... See fellas, I like MUSIC... Hip-Hop, R&B, Jazz, Pop, Soul, Rock, Classical, Country (LIMITED!, but the girl Carrie Underwood got some hot tracks), even can stomach an OCCASIONAL SNAP MUSIC track... A good song is a good song. Rappers know this cause they're the ones that SAMPLE all of these tracks... believe that, THEY'RE DIGGIN' through the crates...
Damn, errbody gettin locked up these days.
It's good to see real hip hop on the billboard charts (talib) even though it's only 60,000 units
yea sales down like a motherfucka
As if anyone in here actually thought that swizz wuz going big numbers on his first week..please swizz has been swizz...flop like a fish out the bowl...sorry money, but you gotta stick to wut u know..an thats beats baby...as for kweli goes those are his usual numbers, so i know hes content with that...there has not been a hot kweli album since "train of thought"..get hi-tek back yo...make it crack...sorry bitches...peace
dats how you know sales are down when they movin that many units and they still in the top ten plus aint nothin out right now worth buying
damn 20 years...thatz fucked up
yo he dumb as hell for even gettin caught the way he was anyway...
4 real
Talib shouldve done at least 200,000
it just shows nobody buys real hip hop at all!
I bought it so to me 60,000 is terrible
But that High School Musical shyt killed the record sales this week lol

Hateme,
You from the South... Memphis, TN right? How do you feel about the Jena 6 situation? The Genarlow Wilson situation? Jim Crow is still alive and well in the South isn't it? I'd like to get your personal opinion since you're from down there... Is Tennessee considered part of the Deep South? What are race relations like in Tennessee?
If this AIN'T Hip-Hop, I don't know WHAT IS...
charismatic — 1 day ago
And one other thing hateme, the #s are in - after all that, TALIB ONLY MOVED 60. Are you serious? The dude moved 60 thousand units. That's TERRIBLE... I'm not one to quote album sales, but in this case I'm pissed 'cause I'm part of that sixty. Wow... 60...
Jim Crow will never be eliminated
I heard of that dude 3 weeks ago and i found that i could do something because the law is so dumb. Its basically used against as racial profiling really.Not to pull the race card but i donated 200 with my petition on that.
REMEMBER...consensual is NEVER meaningful in court!
im on some real shyt while these south as people screaming CRANKING A DANCE! ya know
free wilson! REAL TALK!
Oh yeah Tennessee is the deep heart...All the states are connected to us except Florida
No one thought about that...

I don't feel sorry for this nigga, he got everything he want and then some, he don't have to prove he real by selling anymore he been there done that. He suppose to be on that next level shit like I been there but made it up out of the game shit. I have respect for niggas on the street who is in the game to survive and have on other choice no million dollar bank account, and they just trying to feed family, I feel sorry for them when they get caught. But damn these rapper niggas with all this money have everything to lose and nothing to gain from this, this is just strait stupid niggas need to wake up this shit is ridiculus, hell I wish I was in they shoes I'm out here struggling and have to mess up and get locked up so I can have food to eat these niggas doing it for a game or just to be fucking greedy, and won't more money and can't spend what they got, so if a nigga like that get locked up who gives a shit he know betta
