Don't forget yesterday's rumors! Soulja Boy Takes A Leak? Jay-Z's Roc Boy Video, Amy's Winehouse, Alicia Keys' Best Bud or Boyfriend?!? Mya is not being dropped! Bow Wow and Omari face off!
JADAKISS IS ON ROC-A-FELLA - THANK ME LATER.
There have been a lot of gossip fodder going back and forth for a long time. I told you ‘Kiss was already signed to the Roc and Jay-Z made a statement that threw everything off. Well, here are the facts.
In Jay’s new video for “Roc Boys” Jadakiss unequivocally confirms that he is on the Roc Boys team. From what I have been bless to “hear” ‘Kiss joined the Roc-A-Fella Records team a little over a week ago.
DID I MENTION JADAKISS THROWS UP THE ROC SIGN IN THE NEW VIDEO FOR “ROC BOYS” BY MR. JAY-Z?
You might not believe me now, but unless there is some last second editing going on, Jadakiss is down with Roc-A-Fella, y’all.
The Roc is looking kinda strong right now!
ROYCE DA 5’9” GOES BERSERK!!!
My goodness gracias. UM...when I wrote this entry, I knew this diss was coming, but I had no clue. If you remember his D12 Diss, you know "Malcolm" has more venom than your average rapper. What's Mistah Fab got now? This will be interesting....!
Click here to listen to "You Got Bodied."
For fun, read the rumor...I did take time to write it!
I’m smelling beef on the Barbie! There is a leak in the Royce Da 5’9” camp and I am hearing that Royce has recorded a diss record towards Mistah FAB. Now, nobody has heard this diss – at least nobody I know, but this is supposedly ether. Mistah FAB fired the first shot with “I Bodied You,” to use the most violent term I could muster. Well, Royce sent out a very soft jab in his “Blue Magic” Freestyle. On top of everything, EVERYTHING… Chedda Boyz and Trick Trick hop on the diss and stand side by side with Royce after Fab said he was cool with them. UG…this needs to stay on wax!
BEFORE HE SELF DESTRUCTS
So, 50 Cent is about to drop again very soon. Yes, that’s right. Not only is he releasing this album with G-Unit in December. He’s also releasing Before I Self Destruct in April of 08. I don’t think 50 is going to let anybody eat. Anyway, in some recent interviews, 50 conceded that Kanye won the “battle” based on the energy he created around the event. He also has stated that if “I Get Money” was the first single, we wouldn’t be talking about a battle. That is something that I could actually agree with.
50 CENT AND CIARA: READY TO COME OUT?
This is a nice way to start promoting his new albums. Rumor says 50 Cent and Ciara made their love official at the World Music Awards last night. I cannot say for certain, but that’s what people were saying about the Monte Carlo-hosted event. I didn’t really know this couple thing was official between these two. Anyway, they supposedly performed too. You know I don’t keep up. LOL.
SNOOP PUNK’ING ROCKERS?
Rule No. 1 with Snoop Dogg: don’t fall asleep around him. Rocker dude Pete Doherty had to find out the hard way, according to The Mirror. Well, Pete’s homey and bandmate violated rule one and fell asleep in a hotel in Europe, where Pete and Snoop were staying. Anyway, the guy was allegedly drunk and passed out. Anyway, Snoop decides to take dudes clothes off him as a gag. Well, when he woke up, he caught Snoop and Pete was HEATED! A source at the Arabella Sheraton Hotel said, "Snoop and his pals were trying to take all his clothes off after he'd passed out - Snoop was laughing his head off. But Pete didn't seen the funny side and asked Snoop what the f*** he was doing. Snoop's bouncers came over and before you knew it a scuffle had broken out." Man, these rock dudes are playing with their life!
MERK DA SOUNDMAN!
Look, Talib Kweli is that dude. He’s got one of this year’s best albums in EARDRUM. This is where the rumor starts. My boys Big Herm and Homemade told me that they saw Talib play and he was killing it, in typical Talib fashion. Only thing is, UM doesn’t play with artists going overtime! Word is, they cut the man’s set off! I heard Talib raised nothing less than “cane” backstage to whoever was in charge. I heard there was quite a ruckus. Anyway, don’t be a fool – let Talib play or at least get a lil’ warning! Get hit in the head with a book or something, b. I’m kidding, shout out to Talib!
JOE BUDDEN’S NEW VIDEO
I can’t be mad at Budden. He’s just trying to appeal to a wider audience. Still, I want that “Dumb Out II” or “7 Minutes of Death.”
TREY SONGZ: A VICTIM OF POLICE BRUTALITY?
Trey Songz played lasat night at the Hippodrome in Springfield, Mass. On Saturday (Nov. 2). So, I heard that there was a shooting there, sometime around 1 am by some ignorant folks. Well, people start running for their lives (which is what should happen). I heard that in an effort to get the devil out of there, the police got ahold of Trey Songz and his security. Now, I heard they slammed him against a police car and everything I don’t know if this is 100% true, but if it is, we’ll hear much more. This isn’t the first time Trey has had issues with the cops. Last month, he had issues in ATL and that’s when JT Money was accused of having a role in it.
Read the AHH interview with Trey. He’s a good dude.
ALLHIPHOP: AMERICAN GANGSTER SPECIAL
American Gangster raked in $46.3 MILLION at the box office over the weekend. If I am correct, that’s the biggest debut for Denzel and Russell C. in a HOT minute (if not ever). Anyway, AHH did a lil’ special on the movie that I think you should check out. Check here to WATCH IT! They got Jay-Z, Common, T.I., Method Man (We love ya, MEF!), RZA and even the lovely Ruby Dee! The stars also comment on the T.I. situation. WATCH IT!
ILLSEED’S QUICKIES
They are saying that Beyonce is going to do a dance flavored CD on the next album. I guess that adds to the Timbaland rumors. But is this also an effort to stomp on Rihanna’s terrain? Just talk.
They saying that Kelly Rowland was turned down for the “Sex in the City” movie. They must be crazy.
Shout out to my girl KayCee out of Newport News, VA. VA is for Lovers! We had a nice lil’ conversation that lead to understanding. LOL.
Did Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger hook up with Lewis Hamilton, the UK racecar driver? Rumor has it, the 22 year old took the cat back to his hotel after the MTV European Awards.
This is a lil’ bit of a yawner to me, but I heard that Bizzy Bone is close to coming back to the other Bone Thugs. Word is Lazy and Biz are doing an album called Bone Brothers For Life. Bone did well – with Bizzy, they will do better.
I missed this: Termanology has a new video for “So Amazing.” Check it out.
Jim Jones has dissed Jay-Z again with “Real American Gangsta.” Its gonna be a cold winter!
Check out Sammy Da Bull’s Ice! He’s in jail so they sold his jewelry in an auction. See the prices too! He’s like the biggest snitch in the world.
Rihanna's rumored boy friend, actor Shia LaBeouf ("Transformers"), was arrested in Chicago Sunday after allegedly refusing to leave a Walgreens. GANGSTA! He was charged with misdemeanor count of trespassing.
RANDOM QUOTES:
Boyz II Men on why they fell off (The UK Sun):
Wanya: “When you’ve got the biggest hip hop artists in the world, who’ve been shot nine times, saying they want to have sex with people and artists like us laying we’d like to make love to people then we were always going to lose. We felt like unfashionable uncles. Hip-Hop became the mainstream art form and completely overshadowed R&B. Radio wouldn't touch us.”
Jay-Z on the sales slump of Hip-Hop (La Times):
"Our fans are younger, so our fans live on computers. Other genres still have an adult audience, and as adults we're not stealing music off the Internet. We'll pay for the convenience of not having to wait for it to download, right? We will go to the store and actually pay for it just so we won't have to deal with that." (Oh, I thought it was because people were sick of the N-Word and gangsta rap??? LOL, Fox is wackadoodle!)
Immortal Technique on racism (AllHipHop):
"We must conduct a revolution on all fronts. One in the arts, music, poetry, legal work, teaching, theology, medicine, childcare & development, all forms of media, science, math, and engineering, etc., all in order to fight centuries of purposeful ignorance."
Plies on critics of Hip-Hop like Fox.
"I tell people all the time, if you take the financial gain out of this (rap) s**t, people wouldn’t give a f**k about what a young, allegedly ignorant Black male was over here talkin’ about. Like if you really cared about Hip-Hop and the culture, and how artists address women, what are you doing to rectify the situation besides placing blame on Hip-Hop?"
THE STREET GANGS OF NEW YORK
Gangs are not just an LA thing. There is a movie called “Ain’t Gonna Eat My Mind,” a documentary on the New York City gangs. Drugs. Genocide. Murder. The “gangs” all here! This predates Hip-Hop, critic!
