The NYPD says crime boss, Francesco “Frank” Cali was shot six times at his Staten Island residence and allegedly run over by a blue pickup truck fleeing the scene.

Cali is the first New York crime family boss shot to death in 34 years. In 1985, then-Gambino boss Paul Castellano was shot dead as he arrived at Sparks Steakhouse in Manhattan — a killing organized by John Gotti, authorities said. Gotti, who then assumed control of the family, reportedly watched the action from nearby with his eventual underboss, Sammy “the Bull” Gravano. Cali had been considered a unifying figure in the years after Gotti’s fall. Gotti was convicted of murder and racketeering in 1992 and sent to prison for life after Gravano ratted him out to authorities. Gotti died in prison in 2002. Police continue to look for suspects in Cali’s shooting. Source: WABC-TV
The 2020 Presidential election only 599 days away and while it seems like an eternity, the orange white supremacist in the White House will certainly make it feel much longer. Needless to say the fate of our country and our democracy is riding on who wins next year and Black Thought gave a quick freestyle in which he names the nominees that voters need to get familiar with. On Tuesday night’s episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon , the Roots MC quickly name-dropped the candidates running for the highest office in the land. “We’ve got Warren in the race, and she’s ready to rock/ We’ve got Julian and Harris pulling up on the block/ Cory Booker and Delaney have the bald game locked/ And Bernie’s back again, he’s lookin’ like he got shot,” Thought rhymed before dropping a few more candidates and a Hip-Hop long shot. “And then Beto’s there, and Biden gives a massage/ It’s only 2019, and it’s anyone guess/ Oh, and we’re still waiting to hear from Mr. Kanye West.” If you thought Donald Trump was an emotionally unstable “commander-in-chief” can you imagine what a self-professed bipolar disordered Presidential candidate would be like? Entertaining sure but also terrifying. Kinda like the past few years. Check out Black Thought’s freestyle below and remember to get out and vote for sanity and democracy come 2020.
Source: Robert Reiners / Getty Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins is out here collecting more coins than Mario. It is being reported the ridiculously popular Twitch streamer was paid $1 million to play EA’s new battle royale game Apex Legends. Who said playing video games doesn’t pay the bills? It was widely known that the EA enlisted the help of the video game streaming community to help get the word out about Apex Legends , but people still wondered exactly how much did the studio pay these individuals? A new Reuters report is claiming that EA backed up the Brinks truck for Ninja giving the Fortnite legend a $1 million to play and Tweet about the game on February 5th oh and reportedly he wasn’t obligated to for a long time either. While this seems a bit extreme to help promote a game an EA spokesperson told Kotaku that any gameplay after “midday” was “completely organic” if they kept playing the game. The amount of money he pulled in reportedly to play Apex is significantly higher than what he usually pulls in. Ninja revealed to CNN that he was pulling in $500,000 and hinting at bringing even more than that on a “good day.” Keep in mind that is split between his Twitch, YouTube streams, and sponsorships. There is no word on how much the other streamers were paid, but it would seem that EA’s efforts paid off as Apex broke Fortnite’s record for reaching 10 million players in 72 hours of its release. While this practice might is a tad bit shady, don’t be shocked if other game studios looking to get the word out about its game will go the same route and rely on streamers cause clearly it works. — Photo: Robert Reiners / Getty

Source: Handout / Getty The mother of one of YNW Melly ‘s alleged murder victims is calling out the rapper after he and another suspect in the case entered not guilty pleas. Jana Thompson said that her son was close to the Florida rapper, who she says that she treated like a family member. TMZ reports : Jana Thompson tells TMZ … her son, Anthony Williams, loved YNW and the other suspect, Cortlen Henry, like brothers. She says, “We opened up our homes & our hearts to them.” Anthony is one of 2 men YNW and Henry allegedly killed … and Jana is, understandably, shell-shocked. She says the fact that they entered not guilty pleas “feels like another stab in the heart to myself & my family.” Jana adds, “It’s inconceivable that these very people are the ones responsible for this horrifying murder. I will not stand idle and will fight vehemently for justice!” YNW has a neck tattoo that reads “Jana” … it’s crystal clear in his mug shot. We’re told it’s a tribute to Mrs. Thompson and shows just how close he was to Anthony and his mother. Ms. Thompson has retained the services of a law firm and may file a civil lawsuit against Melly and Henry. Both men are facing first-degree murder charges . — Photo: Getty
Source: Future Music Magazine / Getty Once again it is proven that age is nothing but a number. A senior citizen has emerged as a drum machine master. As spotted on CBS News, a Chicago native has seemingly found his true calling with music. After being ordered to stay home by his doctor Arthur Dubois made use of the time by studying production . Fast forward about a couple of years and the 72-year-old is now proficient at making trap instrumentals. On March 4 he placed a call to Haven Studios in his Southside neighborhood. When owner Andre “Add-2” Daniels met Dubois in person he was stunned on how good his tracks were. “When the bass dropped, my face went into full shock. His beats sounded exactly like the beats I hear my 16, 17, 21-year-old mentees rapping to,” Daniels explained. “I thought it was a fluke. I went to the next one and it was just as good, then the next and the next. Each time I was in pure disbelief.” Daniels was so impressed he filmed the footage and shared it on social media. The videos quickly went viral eventually grabbing the attention of many in the music industry. “Add-2” has since created a Twitter account for Dubois @BeatsByArthur . The grandfather of three showed his appreciation with a heartfelt post. “I would like to thank all of you for supporting me and appreciating my music. It warms my heart.” I would like to thank all of you for supporting me and appreciating my music. It warms my heart. Whatever your passionate is persue it. No matter the obstacles or criticisms Stay with your passion and follow your dreams. — BeatsByArthur (@BeatsByArthur) March 12, 2019 The news network also mentions there is talk about creating a movie about his life. You can hear a snippet of his work below. Bruh!! Today I met a 72yr old producer who makes TRAP MUSIC!! He said the doctor told him to stay in the house but instead of wasting away he used the time to teach himself how to produce beats. I'M SO INSPIRED!!! pic.twitter.com/10XIuH8vDe — Add-2 (@ADD2theMC) March 5, 2019 Photo: Getty
