EMINEM WANTS THE PEACE – SAYS SORRY FOR CASHI$ TO ROYCE!
I touched on the beef with Ca$his and Royce Da 5’ 9” like a week ago or something. It, like most beefs, seemed so silly that I just said something so people didn’t think I missed it or something. Well, I heard that Eminem and myself agree. My girl Sugar Ray & Mark The Spark from Hot 102.7 FM in Detroit. They told me that Eminem called Royce and apologized on behalf of Cashis stating that his young protégée was out of line. Apparently, there were some off-color comments made about Eminem, but there was no malice behind it. In face, I heard that those sorts of comments are normal with regard to Eminem. Anyway, I heard that Royce declined the apology on Em’s behalf saying it was basically meaningless since it wasn’t actually Cashis doing the talking. Now, we have a beef situation. Cashis faces a situation where he can’t even come to Eminem’s home of Detroit, because people are riding with Royce. Where is Awesome Dre and the Hardcore Committee when you need him? Come back, Dre and bring the Committee!
On the positive side of Detroit:
Detroit
hip hop celebrated the release of its newest fusion project with Black
Milk and Fat Ray. The album, The Setup is available now in AllHipHop's Estore. I love Detroit, because the city continues to innovate with fusion albums like CalTroit and
Random Axe with Guilty Simpson and Sean Price. The release party
featured performances from Phat Kat, Elzhi of Slum Village and Fat Ray
and Black Milk. Surprise guest, Royce Da 59 rocked the crowd with Elzhi
on a new joint called "Glow." Guilty Simpson also blazed the mic, as he
prepares to drop his solo debut, Ode to the Ghetto on Stones Throw. Fat
Ray echoed the feeling of everybody in the room, 'We are just trying to
keep the spirit of J. Dilla and Big Proof alive." They don't know, but they are keeping the spirit of Hip-Hop alive.
SOMEBODY TRIED TO ROB POLOW DA DON!
From AHH:
Polow Da Don has confirmed with AllHipHop.com that he was the victim of an attempted robbery inside of his Atlanta recording studio last night (March 10). While Polow did not reveal the nature of the robbery, sources stated that an unknown group of unknown masked gunmen entered the recording studio and robbed those present of their money and jewelry. "They thought they came to rob me, but I have heart and I have God shawty," Polow Da Don told AllHipHop.com in a statement. Polow Da Don, who runs the Zone 4 imprint and production company, has created hits for artists like Ludacris, Fergie, The Pussycat Dolls, Snoop Dogg, Ciara, Young Buck and others. "You gone have to shoot me because until then, I dont believe you. I am a man…and nine times out of ten a n***a calling himself a ‘robba‘, a ‘thug’ or a ‘gangsta’ is a cover up for being too weak (weather it be physically, spiritually or mentally) to be a man.”

T-BOZ IS COMING BACK!
There is a nice lil’ rumor going around stating that T-Boz of TLC is about to drop a new album. That’s right. She is supposedly working on the long-awaited solo album. So, here we go. I heard that she got production by Polow Da Don and Dallas Austin so the beats should be on point and are from what I heard. I used to love TLC, all of them, so I hope this can be the comeback for T-Boz. I heard she is looking to get Pharrell on the album and belt out 30 or so song before weaning the album down.
SHAWTY LO SICK?
The Durrty Boys on HOT 107.9 in Atlanta apparently mentioned that Shawty Lo missed his own album release party at Primetime over the weekend. He said that he was in the hospital sick for some reason. I don’t have any more information on that situation, but there have been persistent rumors about Shawty being sick. What exactly going on here? Anyway, read our glorious interview with Shawty Lo.
JUVENILE SKIPPPED THE FUNERAL FOR THE PARTY?
My homey Razzi hit me up and let me know something that I didn’t know yesterday. He told me that Juvenile may not have attended the funeral of his 4 year old daughter, but the rapper actually made it to the Hypnotized Tour in Augusta, GA. Here is the info:
The Hypnotized Tour is a 20 City Tour featuring Southern Hip-Hop’s best and brightest stars, performances by Plies, Rick Ross, Dream, Pleasure P, Lil’ Boosie, Money G and Snook other artists such as Yo Gotti and Juvenile will be joining the tour for special dates. Tickets are $35 and the location is 601 7th Street Augusta, GA
From what I was told, Juve even showed up at the afterparty to sashay with the people. Thanks to Razzi on this one. We all mourn differently, but this one makes no sense to me.
THREE SIGNS THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END!
Here is the first: The Netherlands has developed new technology that will allow robots to fill your gas tank. What are all the gas station attendants going to do if this catches on? What will New Jersey do? Click here to see it.
From CNN:
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Jamiel Shaw was just three doors from his house on March 2. His father told the 17-year-old high school football star to be home before dark. That is exactly what he was trying to do when, just before dusk, gunshots rang out.
Gang members pulled up in a car and asked Shaw if he was in a gang. Shaw didn't have time to tell them "no." He was mowed down before he could answer, police say.
What sense does it make to kill somebody before he even can answer? Jamiel Shaw was a good kid that was nice in football. He was being recruited by Stanford University. Here is the end:
Police announced Tuesday that an arrest had been made in the shooting. Pedro Espinoza, a 19-year-old member of the Hispanic 18th Street Gang, was charged in the killing and could face the death penalty if convicted, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said. Espinoza is scheduled to be arraigned March 25.
Sad.
The Last Sign:
Mary Ann from "Gillian’s Island" was recently arrested for smoking that Mary Jane. Gilligan got the same rap a few years ago.
ILLSEED’S QUICKIES

Janet Jackson was admitted to the hospital with the flu. She had to cancel an SNL date.
New York gets a historic two-for-one. WHEN Eliot Spitzer resigns (I am sure he will) Lt. Governor David A. Paterson will become New York's first African American governor and also the first who is legally blind.
More than 600,000 Iraqi documents were reviewed and they provide conclusive evidence that Saddam Hussein's regime no terror links to Osama bin Laden or al Qaida.

RANDOM QUOTES
Former VP candidate and Hillary Clinton supporter Geraldine Ferraro:
“If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this
position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country
is caught up in the concept."
Rick Ross on who he is voting for and why [Read the full interview]:
"I think Barack understands the team. It’s a team and teamwork makes the
dream work. I make records the DJ’s play it. Bush you calling the
shots, the soldiers are putting the work and Halliburton getting all
the money. You ain’t breaking the bread. That’s the problem with Bush."
Comic Kym Whitley on rappers she likes and why [Read the full interview]:
"When I see Jay-Z, I get warm and fuzzy.
[laughs] Nas, I think he is extremely intelligent and sexy. Oh, and Baby and
Lil’ Wayne, those are my boys."
