“Him and the licensee who licensed Rocawear went behind my back and obtained the license to the company that was licensing PRO-Keds and stopped making the State Property PRO-Keds,” Beans said on Philadelphia radio station Power 99. “It was all geared towards Roc-A-Wear.”

Dame said he did not want to address any specifics regarding Sigel, but did say he did not want any beef.

“I love Jay, I love Beans — what’s the reason for beef?” Dash responded. “That’s stupid. What’s the reason for beef? People die, people don’t feel good — I want people to laugh. What’s up, y’all?”

Fans hoping to glimpse U2’s free concert celebrating 20 years since the Berlin Wall fell were outraged Thursday to find that a 12-foot (3.6-meter) metal barrier was installed to block the view for those without tickets.

The music network MTV, which organized Thursday’s concert, said it worked with the local promoter, the city and Berlin police to install a temporary fence “around the site to ensure the safety and security of the attendees at the event as well as residents and businesses in the area.”

U2’s publicist RMP refused comment about the barrier. -AP

Yankees parade: Friday 11 a.m. The Yankees will celebrate their 27th World Series title in grand New York fashion – with a “ticker tape” parade up the Canyon of Heroes on Friday.

Derek Jeter, A-Rod and the rest of the Bronx Bombers will be swimming in a sea of confetti and congratulatory cheers on lower Broadway from the Battery to City Hall starting at 11 a.m.

Mayor Bloomberg unveiled the parade plans after the Yanks’ stunning victory last night. -nydailynews.com

In addition to Fedor, many of the top mixed martial artists in the world including Brett Rogers, Jason “Mayhem” Miller, Jake Shields, and Gegard Mousasi will step onto the scale and then step into Kruck’s Korner during the LIVE broadcast. Heavyweight sensation Bobby Lashley, “King” Mo Lawal, and MMA legend Frank Shamrock are expected to join Kenny Rice and Bas Rutten to break down the card and to witness the excitement of weigh-in Friday.

“Friday weigh-ins are closely watched by MMA insiders because they often reveal who is ready to fight…and who isn’t,” said Andrew Simon, CEO of HDNet Fights. “Then, on Saturday’s CBS broadcast, we will debut a new commercial that will drive home the message that true MMA fans have to have HDNet.”

This episode of “Inside MMA” is the only place to see highlights of some of Fedor’s most recent, explosive victories including Fedor v Hong Man Choi, Fedor v Arlovski, Fedor v. Tim Sylvia and Fedor’s exhibitions with Gegard Mousasi and Shinya Aoki.

Pirates’ acquisition of Iwamura aimed at present. The Pirates acquired infielder Akinori Iwamura from the Rays in a trade yesterday.”Our goal for 2010 is to be a better team,” Huntington said. “We’ve made a lot out of having years of control, and our hope is that this is more than a one-year fit for us and for Akinori. But our expectation in 2010 is to play better baseball and to win more games, and we felt like this was an opportunity for us to begin to turn the corner, to move in a positive direction not just below the major league level but at the top level, as well.” -Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Martinez enjoys being centre of attention in N.Y. The Bronx has been the scene of many huge Pedro moments in which the immensely talented Martinez has been the man New York fans love to hate.”To have such a long career go full cycle and be able to compete once again in the World Series on one of the biggest stages,” Martinez mused of his date vs. Andy Pettitte. “Just to see two old goats out there doing the best they can and having fun with it.” -The Toronto Star

Howard chokes at worst moment. PHILADELPHIA: Ryan Howard’s World Series can be summed up like this: swing and miss.Over and over, Howard has gone down swinging against the New York Yankees. Overall, the Philadelphia Phillies’ slugger has struck out 12 times in the first five games, tying Willie Aikens for most whiffs in a World Series. Aikens did it with the Kansas City Royals against the Phillies in 1980. -ohio.com

Wells: Knock Utley down. Chase Utley needs to kiss the Yankee Stadium dirt tonight. Enough is enough, already. That is what I would have done Monday night if I were A.J. Burnett.

By the time Ross delivered his second #1 album, Trilla, in 2007 Triple C’s were living their dream. The women were stunning, the hotels were 5-Star, and the cars were foreign. Most importantly they had the respect of the streets. Ross’ potent wordplay and overarching realness resonated and his associates could be trusted to do the same when called upon. Gunplay and Torch displayed their contrasting styles on Trilla’s “Reppin’ My City.”

In 2009 Ross released his third straight #1 album, Deeper Than Rap through a joint venture on Maybach Music Group/Def Jam. The deal put in motion plans to deliver the long awaited Triple C’s album. And just like they planned a decade ago the group would go back to the basics. Craft streetcertified joints from hot rhymes and dope beats. Even the title would show appreciation for the Triple C’s original mission statement, Custom Cars & Cycles.
