RAPPER VL MIKE SLAIN

Rapper VL Mike was fatally shot in the Gentilly section of New Orleans Sunday afternoon. VL Mike, real name Michael Allen, was exiting a vehicle about 1 p.m. on April 20 when a man shot him, according to published reports. The 32 year old rapper died shortly thereafter at University Hospital. An autopsy is forthcoming. The death of VL Mike marks the seventh person murdered in New Orleans in a four day span. I don’t know if you all remember this young man, but he used to be down with BG and his beef was one for the ages. Anyway, I heard that his mother and family are heartbroken and she informed them of the death yesterday.

If you know any more of what is going on, let me know. Thanks!

IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE RETURNS!

I know this dude has a hardcore base of fans. Well, I am happy to announce that Immortal Technique is one the way back as a voice in Hip-Hop we need to hear. Well, dude is dropping The 3^rd World on the same day as The Game and G-Unit are expected to drop – June 24! Look for features from Chino XL, Crooked I, RasKass, Psycho Realm, Diabolic and beats by Green Lantern, Southpaw, Buckwild and Scram Jones. Nice! I still want to know what happened to The Middle Passage, his unreleased other album.

WILL THE GAME GET PUSHED BACK? (APPARENTLY NOT)

I got an update on this and I have been notified that The Game's date is FIRM and it will be dropping on June 24. Thing is, I hear 50 claims it has been bumped back...we'll see! Now, the question is, will 50 Cent stand firm on June 24? Could this be Kanye vs 50 Cent: The Gangster Rap edition?

So, you know 50 Cent and how he gets down. You also know, as I just stated, that he is dropping a new album with G-Unit on the same date as The Game, a former G-Uniter. Well, I am hearing a buzz that 50 Cent has simply resigned to moving The Game’s release date back for him. You know 50 Cent exercises his power like that here and there. I heard that’s what happened to Styles P. Anyway, we’ll see if this is the case.

50 CENT DISSES ALICIA KEYS!

I know you probably saw this on all the bloggies and radio stations, but I thought I would add it for today anyway. Here is what 50 Cent said about Ms. Keys notion that gangsta rap might have had some help getting popular.

"I don't like Alicia Keys no more though … the same reason why I said that I don't like Oprah Winfrey," 50 Cent toldThe Showbuzz. "I'm prejudice(d). I don't like people who don't like me. If you don't like the content that I write because of my experiences; I am being who I am when I am writing it. I fall into that 'label' as far as you considering artists creating 'Gangsta music,' we fall into that.

"If she don't like that, (then) I don't like that classical music s--- she be doing. At some point she's playing some s--- that don't relate to me. … We listen to it and try to figure out why people actually enjoy it. I am trying to enjoy it. That statement changes my perception of Alicia Keys totally. But the magazine is standing behind it, which means they probably have a tape of her in conversation saying it. It's just not really a bright comment anyway."

TORI'S TAKE ON IT ALL...

Tori Lala is one of my good bud's and she's got an opinion. Check it out right here as it pertains to 50 Cent and Alicia Keys.

This is a little late too, but people acted shocked and outraged by the things Alicia Keys said. Biggie's mom has basically said the same thing. I can't remember which one but in one of the documentaries, while still at the hospital, Big's entourage were approached by FBI/CIA suit types, who showed them surveillance pictures of just minutes before Biggie was shot, asking questions about the people in the pictures. If they have pictures of just moments before – why don't they have pictures of the Impalla? Also, this isn't a new technique. Prodigy said basically the same thing happened when he got arrested, that they wanted him to give information on 50. And back in the day, the FBI and the CIA used to have undercover people at Black Panther rallies to start a riot so they could issue criminal charges against the group. The theory is, if you take down enough of the bigshots, eventually the movement will stop, so I could see why they would try to kill the noise makers of hip hop.

ILLSEED’S QUICKIES

You might not believe it, but Hillary Clinton can still win the Democratic bid for the president. Click here, you haters.

Did you see Barack get the dirt off his shoulder? Toooooooo funny!

Rumor has it that Kanye and Alexis are no longer engaged. He even allegedly asked for her ring back. Hold it down y’all.

Everyone's heard about the supposed tiff between Beyonce and Jay-Z…you think this is true? A public fight? Thanks Tori!

I heard Violator management has signed an artist named Nathan from the UK and he’s already started working with Busta Rhymes.

RANDOM QUOTES

50 Cent on Young Buck’s alleged habits (MTV):

"Buck's probably high right now. He doesn't even get high anymore — he just maintains his [high]. You have to get sober to be high. When they say, 'Party like a rock star,' he goes beyond what they are talking about. Multiple, different s**t.

SIGNS THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END

This is so nasty, that I had to include it.

In Crownpoint, Indiana a truck driver created quite a stink on Indiana Highway 55. Dude was driving and accidentally let a truckload of human feces spill onto the road. Read the rest of the report from the AP:

The driver told police he was hauling treated human feces from a water recycling plant in Portage when the load spilled about 10:30 a.m. Thursday.

The Lake County hazardous materials response team came to clean up the mess, along with the Crown Point Fire Department and Indiana State Police.

The northbound and southbound lanes of the highway were closed during the cleanup.

The Indiana Department of Transportation cited the driver for an unsecured load.

There are better ways to drop a load, G.

OBAMA WILL FIX THIS!

You just cannot hurl racist comments to a group of Black people! They will swarm you! I no longer advocate violence as a response to ignorant people. If they attack you or even touch you is another story…but peep this.

THE CHURCH OF OPRAH?

What do you think of this? I am not offering any judgment.

DO THE IRON MAN?

Oh really? The movie industry is definitely looking to get a lil’ push via Hip-Hop. I wonder if Soulja Boy will get into a fight over this?

I am a lil indifferent to the rumors right now so I might add more later if/when Lady Drama jumps in. Or maybe some of my other budding assistants. :)

YESTERDAY, WE LOVE YOU!
