“I need Em or one them n***as,” replied Mook when asked who he wants to battle next. “I’ve been saying Em from the door. For the last five years I’ve been saying, ‘Y’all have to go get Eminem for me. You have to.'”
Mook makes it clear his desire to go at Eminem is not out of disrespect and views the Detroit native as one of his favorite emcees.
“This is just admiration, wanting to jump in the ring with a n***a that I feel is incredible. Somebody I feel says things I would never possibly think of saying,” continued Mook. “His mind is way different. So for me to have to challenge myself to be able to try to meet that and take it higher, I need Em or somebody of that magnitude.”
Murda Mook also said the “chapter’s closed” on battling Cassidy. He also defended Daylyt’s decision to throw his third round against T-Rex at Total Slaughter. According to Mook, Day’s dropout was “paying respect” to his Dot Mobb comrade Rex, and the two associates did not want to battle each other.

Jay’s contribution to “Seen It All” featured the Brooklyn legend rapping about his days selling cocaine and the perils that come with it. Jeezy spoke with MTV about the track, and revealed that Jay got emotional as his put together the lyrics for his guest verse.
“When I sent it to him, he just hit me back like, ‘whoo.’ He sent it back in like 30-40 minutes top,” said Jeezy. “We got on the line and he was like, ‘Yo Jeez, when I was writing the verse I had tears in my eyes.’ Because it just took him so far back to Marcy.”
The world may not have been able to even experience “Seen It All” with Jeezy and Jay Z if the producer of the cut had not made an email mistake. Cardo recently admitted the track was not meant for Jeez and Jigga.
“I sent [it] to Jeezy by accident. I had two beats named under the same [name] in my folder for some reason and it got duplicated. I don’t know what happened; sometimes I’ll name the beat the same thing for some damn reason,” said Cardo.

(AllHipHop News) Jay Z is sharing the love all over New York City. Less than a week after shocking the world and performing at the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival, Jay Z decided to call in to Angie Martinez’s show on during her first day on Power 105.1.
Today (July 17th) was the first day Angie Martinez has done her radio show on a station other than Hot 97 in over 15 years. To commemorate the day, Jay Z called in and congratulated Martinez and discussed her future after making the switch:
I really believe that what you are about to accomplish in the next phase of your life will dwarf everything that you’ve ever done. Because, that’s what people that are great do. You’re not termed the voice of New York for no reason. You’re an instituion in radio. That’s a special feat to accomplish.
Earlier on the show, Martinez hinted that one of her first on-air guests will be P. Diddy. Diddy’s Revolt TV broadcasts Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club video portion.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Swizz Beatz Jockin The Young Boy Mike Will Made It's Swag?
Let me be clear. I didn’t see this until somebody brought it to me. And when they brought it to me they made it seem like maybe Swizz Beatz is was swiping MikeWillMadeIt’s style OR paying some form of homage – OG producer to YG producer. I’m thinking its a coincidence, if you believe in those things.
Peep the image that was pulled off Instagram. Seems like “somebody” thinks something…

Hip Hop Rumors: Couple or Nah? Lil Wayne and Christina Milian Boo'd Up at The ESPYS
Less than a month after calling off the engagement between she and Rap-A-Lot Records CEO Jas Prince, Christina Milian has been spotted out and about a lot with YMCMB leader Lil Wayne.
The latest spotting was last night at The 2014 ESPSY Awards, where Wayne brought Milian as his date. Although the two contend that the relationship is strictly professional, we doubt holding hands with your co-worker would be considered appropriate in the workplace.
They actually make a cute couple, but am I the only one who confuses Milian with Lil Wayne’s ex-fiance’ Nivea? Is it just me? Hmmmm…
Fresh Heat – Lil Waah (Swizz Beatz' Cousin) – "On My Arm"
Lil Waah comes from hip-hop royalty and he is being mentored by his cousin Swizz Beatz, who is apparently very involved with Lil Waah’s upcoming project. Armed with over 2 million Twitter followers from Swizz Beatz, Lil Waah is set to push “On My Arm,” which embodies the elements of a new teen pop-star, energetic with a smooth playful flow it verifies why Lil Waah is not only Ruff Ryders next superstar; but the face of Hip-Hop’s next generation.
After all, Lil Waah was born into a “Hip-Hop Royal Family” with a serious pedigree, which includes his father (Waah Dean), his uncle (Dee Dean) and his aunt (Chivon Dean) all co-founders of the Ruff Ryders enterprise of companies and all played integral roles in launching the careers of DMX, The Lox, Eve, Swizz Beatz, Cassidy and solo releases from all three members of The Lox. At its pinnacle, Ruff Ryders would also go on to release five label compilation projects over the course of a decade; and included 1 Platinum and billboard topping release and 2 projects that went Gold and made debuts on Billboards Top 5 chart.
While he maybe young, Lil Waah’s experience far outweighs his age as he asserts “I just want people to feel me and appreciate my work,” he says. “I take this seriously. I don’t do this because people get paid from it. I really want to change the way music is done.”
