In the documents, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Taja claims at one point Teddy, “lifted a Rock Band guitar and threatened to kill person(s) w/ it.”

Taja claims she suffered several injuries in the alleged altercation — including “bashes to temple, contusion on face” and “pain in knee.”

Scott Storch


Producer Scott Storch is expected to be a major player in the musical comeback of rapper Shyne, who was deported to his native Belize after over nine years of incarceration.

Storch exclusively told AllHipHop.com of his plans to craft a new album for the former Bad Boy.

“Yeah, Shyne’s my man. I’ve been talking to him and I was talking to him all through his prison sentence. He’s always remained a loyal person to me,” he told AllHipHop.com.

He said that he and Shyne actually befriended each other while Shyne was in jail for a December 1999 shooting that left several people wounded.

“We became friends after he was already in [jail] and I found out he was a fan and he’s just a hell of a cool guy,” Storch continued. “I’m looking forward to doing, not just one record, but doing a chunk on his album.”

DJ Khaled’s new album, Victory, features a new song by Shyne, Akon, Mavado called “All My Life.” That opus is slated for a 2010 release. Presently, artists and producers are being flown in to Belize to work with Shyne.

To read more on Scott Storch and his current work, including more details on Shyne’s album, read the two-part feature on Tuesday December 29 and Wednesday December 30. Storch also discusses his recovery from a cocaine addiction, his relationship to Timbaland, Lil Kim and his plans for a strong comeback, among other matters.

Percy Sutton, Civil Rights Attorney, Dies at 89

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

Percy Sutton


Percy Sutton, the pioneering civil rights attorney who represented Malcolm X before launching successful careers as a politician and media mogul, died yesterday at age 89.
Marissa Shorenstein, a spokeswoman for Gov. Paterson, confirmed Sutton’s death, but did not give a cause.
The son of a slave, Sutton — survived by his wife, Leatrice; his son, Pierre, and daughter Cheryl — became a fixture in Harlem following his service with the famed Tuskegee Airmen in World War II.
His law office, founded in 1953, represented Malcolm X and the slain activist’s family for decades.
The consummate politician, Sutton served in the New York State Assembly before taking over as Manhattan borough president in 1966, becoming the highest-ranking black elected official in the state.
Sutton, who once served as a subway conductor, also mounted unsuccessful campaigns for the U.S. Senate and mayor of New York, and mentored the Rev. Jesse Jackson in his two presidential races.
“The godfather,” Jackson once called him.
In 1971, Sutton purchased WLIB-AM, making it the first black-owned radio station in New York City. He later bought WBLS-FM, which reigned for years as New York’s top-rated radio station.
Among Sutton’s other endeavors was his purchase and renovation of the famed Apollo Theater when the Harlem landmark’s demise appeared imminent.
