Dr. Conrad Murray Sentenced For Michael Jackson's Death

The 58-year-old is sentenced in the death of Michael Jackson for involuntary manslaughter.

Following Michael Jackson’s death in 2009, Dr. Conrad Murray has been found guilty for involuntary manslaughter in connection with his passing.

According to LA Times, a jury of seven men and five women decided on the verdict over two days. Murray was charged with the lowest possible homicide offense, facing a maximum sentence of four years in a state prison and a minimum of probation.

Murray, whose medical license was suspended by California authorities, now faces the probable loss of the license. His sentencing date is set for November 29th and will be held in custody without bail.

[November 7]

UPDATE: Judge Michael Pastor denied Dr. Conrad Murray probation and sentenced him to the maximum of four years in prison for involuntary manslaughter. The judge cited "gross continuing deviation" in his decision and rebuked him for "violat[ing] the trust of the medical community, his colleagues and his patient."

BABY SHOT IN THE HEAD AT RAP VIDEO SHOOT

I’m telling you, people…we have to do better! These damn people are bringing guns and little kids to video shoots! And a kid got shot! The 1-year old boy, Hiram Lawrence, was shot when about six men ran up on a rapper set and just started firing rounds. Other people – eight – were shot and sent to the hospital. As for lil Hiram, he is in critical condition from his injuries. Apparently, the boy was shot as his dad ran for cover, but he wasn’t actually on the set of the video like I thought. Like, I totally could have changed the headline and edited the story, but I think he was close enough to say he was on the scene. Stop the violence people.

NOTORIOUS PART TWO?

I have not a clue how this would work. But I am hearing there is a sequel to “Notorious” that is in preproduction! How does this happen since clearly Biggie dies in the first one? I have no clue. Maybe it will deal more with the Junior Mafia early years? That has been suggested to me. Nevertheless, there are appears to be a new version of the Biggie’s saga about to be told.

Black Friday Boosts Sales for Young Money, The Throne

After debuting last week at the top spot on the charts (659,190 units sold), Drake’s sophomore effort, Take Care (Young Money/Cash Money/Universal Rep), fell to #4 after selling 173,618 copies in its second week. Over the weekend in San Francisco, Drake and the OVO crew shot the video for “The Motto,” which is the next single off Take Care.

Fellow YMCMB member, Lil Wayne, saw an 147% increase in sales as The Carter IV (Young Money/Cash Money/Universal Rep) sold 62,790 copies this past week and checked in at #14 on the charts. This sudden, huge increase in sales might be attributed to Black Friday shoppers finding themselves unable to turn away from a discounted Carter IV.

Black Friday may have also contributed to the 60% boost in sales for Kanye West & Jay-Z. The duo are currently on the “Watch The Throne Tour” as their album, Watch The Throne (Roc-A-Fella/Roc Nation), continues its run on the charts, where it has been a stable presence since its August release. This past week, it sold 31,541 copies, yet moved down 4 spots to #32.

Elsewhere on the charts, Yelawolf’s first album since joining Shady Records, Radioactive, sold 41,826 copies in its first week, debuting at #25. Features include Eminem, Kid Rock, Lil Jon, Killer Mike, and Mystikal.

Wale’s Ambition (Warner Bros.) sold 20,357 copies this past week and dropped from the 18th spot to #50.

After A Big Week in Ongoing Hip-Hop Sales was reported last week, a few big names have dropped out of the Top 50.

J. Cole’s debut album, Cole World: The Sideline Story (Roc Nation), dropped out of the Top 50 for the first time since its release in late September.

Mac Miller’s Blue Slide Park fell out of the Top 50 as well. This comes three weeks after Mac Miller made history by becoming the first indie act since Tha Dogg Pound to reach the top spot in their debut, selling 148,915 units. However, after an 83% decrease in his second week of sales, this should not be too much of a surprise to see him absent from the Top 50.

Lastly, Childish Gambino’s commercial debut, Camp (Glassnote), dropped out of the charts in its second week, after selling just over 51,000 units last week. You can read AllHipHop’s review of Camp here.

Dropping This Week (Week Ending on 12/2/11):

Curren$y’s Jet Life compilation album, Jet World Order (Jets International/iHipHop Distribution), drops today. The album features Jet members Curren$y, Trademark Da Skydiver, Young Roddy, Smoke DZA, Mikey Rocks, Fiend, Nesby Phips, Corner Boy P, and Street Wiz.

Comedian Patrice O’Neal Dead at 41 Following Stroke and Battle With Diabetes

Forty-one year-old actor and comedian Patrice O’Neal died late last night (November 28) after complications stemming from a stroke he suffered in October. O’Neal, who had also been battling diabetes for a number of years, was one of the comedic staples behind the Comedy Central Roasts that take place every year.

Known for his witty and sometimes dark, yet very playful humor, O’Neal is a talent that often times did not have a working filter between his mind and mouth, and this led to some of the most entertaining, jaw-dropping, and hilarious, although, at times, controversial comedy of the past decade.

Most recently, O’Neal participated in the Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen which was one of the most watched specials in the networks history. Along with his role in the roasts, he was also a great comedic actor having appeared in episodes of “The Office,” “Chappelle’s Show,” “Arrested Development,” and his own animated series that also aired on Comedy Central in 2002, “Shorties Watching’ Shorties.” His film credits include roles in Head of State, 25th Hour, Scary Movie 4, and many more.
