Posted By Anna Pulley on Thu, Oct 20, 2011 at 7:30 AM Hi Anna, I get the impression that someone on Facebook who has me blocked, on occasion unblocks me, reads my posts, then blocks me again. I've been told by friends who are also on FB that some comments have been made by this person that suggests he has seen some of my posts. If he's blocked me, neither one of us are supposed to see each other's posts. And if he has me blocked, then I cannot block him. How can I stop this from happening? ~Creeper You're right that if he blocked you, you would both be barred from directly interacting with each other, and that his name wouldn't come up in a search. But there are a few technical snags to joining this Block party. Some likely culprits as to why this guy can see some of your posts, according to Faceboo...

On August 5, 2011 a judge in Roxbury District Court in Roxbury, Massachusetts refused to hear a defendant's proof of perjury by the plaintiff in a fraudulently-obtained restraining order. The judge stopped the defendant when the defendant said: "I have an offer of proof that the plaintiff committed perjury in obtaining this restraining order and I have a motive". The judge told the defendant that another judge had already dismissed his motion to vacate the restraining order in June of 2010 and further explained that "unless you have new evidence, then that has already been handled". The defendant DID have new evidence, and offered the judge a transcript and a copy of the court recordings where the plaintiff deliberately lied to the court. The lie in question is as follows: COURT: "Is there anything pending in probate court right now?" LIAR/PLAINTIFF: "No, nothing is" COURT: "Nothing at all?" LIAR/PLAINTIFF: "Nothin...

Rapper/actor, DMX was freed from a Yuma, Ariz., prison July 19, 2011 after seven months behind barsfor probation violation. As soon as he touched free ground, Earl "DMX" Simmons checked in with his probation officer, then went shopping. He spent time with family and friends, then headed straight back to work in the studio for what was promised to be a double album. One side Secular, the other side Gospel. While some skeptics are saying this promised release would be contradictory, true DMX fans are salivating about the project and waiting impatiently for the musical return of Dark Man X. It has also been reported that DMX will sign to Maybach Music Group for his next release, and that he already has some TV and movie offers on the table. We are all happy to see our brother home and wish him much health and success. PHOTO: Jemal Countless/GettyImages

(CBS/WCBS/AP) NEWARK, N.J. -- Rapper and actor Ja Rule was sentenced July 18, 2011 to more than two years in federal prison for failing to file income tax returns. "I in no way attempted to deceive the government or do anything illegal. I was a young man who made a lot of money," he said minutes before being sentenced. "I didn't know how to deal with these finances, and I didn't have people to guide me, so I made mistakes." The platinum-selling rapper, whose real name is Jeffrey Atkins, admitted in March that he failed to pay taxes on more than $3 million that he earned between 2004 and 2006 while living in Saddle River. He has also been ordered to pay $1.1 million in unpaid taxes. Ja Rule was sentenced in New York City last month to up to two years in prison after he pleaded guilty to attempted criminal weapon possession. The case stemmed from a gun found in his luxury sports car in July 2007, reports  CBS affiliate WCBS . Depending o...

Reverend Culpepper and MC Spice [photo: Starr Watkins/Shakur Multimedia] Pleasant Hill Baptist Church sits atop a hill in Roxbury, Massachusetts at the corner of Humboldt and Waumbeck streets. This area is known to so-called gang members as "H-Block". What was once a gang of teens who represented the whole of Humboldt and the surrounding streets, "H-Block" has been divided into two sections as of late. Now there's "HB-1" and "HB-2" and they are officially "at war". According to Reverend Culpepper, most of the street wars stem from "beefs" about girls. In fact, the pastor says there's a 75% chance that most or all of the beefs are caused by some friction about a girl and how some of the young men are trying to impress them with their "gangster". But Pleasant Hill Baptist Church does not run from these so-called gang-bangers. Instead, Reverend Culpepper meets the violence and crime head-on and during the ...

Rapper X-Ray spits a new-school/old-school flow, with great breathing techniques in the song "Run". The video shows X-Ray either playing chess with himself or with a dam good look alike. He pleads: "Put the angry rap aside for a second". The new wave of Boston rappers are not impressed with violent lyrics, and are very impressive with crafting lyrics that still hold weight without the heavy-laden gangster rhymes. The video is B.E.T. ready, but unfortunately, with the way B.E.T. has been going lately, THEY'RE not real rap ready. Beat is on point and the rapper gives a great performance lyrically. Support local Hip-Hop and check out the video by the rapper X-Ray [below].

The crisp video for the song "I'm A Boss Freestyle" is professionally done, and gives the artist Mr. So Boston mass appeal and the look of a national recording artist. The backdrop of Franklin Park is a definite prop to the Bean and if you look closely, you'll see a quick shot of that barbecue spot one block over from Dorchester District Court in Dorchester's Codman Square area. "For me to be the coach, I gotta step down from the G.M"... classic. Check out the music by Mr. So Boston and support your local Hip-Hop. Dude is on point with his music. Check out the video below:
