This afternoon, a press conference was held for the groundbreaking of the Barclays Center in Brooklyn Yards. Set to open in 2012, the 18,000 seat arena will become the new home of the New Jersey Brooklyn Nets. Many local residents oppose the move due to imminent increases in traffic and living costs. In attendance were Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Rev. Al Sharpton, and Governor David Paterson. Nets co-owner Jay-Z, gave a brief speech, in which he paid homage to the memory of his nigga, Biggie. We did it Brooklyn!

Waka Flocka Flame was recently shot in the arm in Atlanta for his 1017 Brick Squad chain. More on this story after the jump.
Steve Rifkind explains how Havoc (Mobb Deep) lit up a blunt and caused a fire alarm during their first meet.
Steve talks about the first time he met Melanie Fiona and thought her manager was “breath-takingly beautiful”.
Dame Dash as a 16 year old was a “cocky motherfucker”. He came into Steve’s office shouting and screaming with his cousin.
Then Steve tells me two stories about how he threw a chair out of the window and was escorted out of the building in handcuffs over a Wu Tang record and how he almost had a fight with a label President because they wouldn’t sign Jay-Z.
