Hip-Hop Rumors: A VIDEO IS BEING BOUGHT : More Bad News For Ice-T and Coco
This sh*t is crazy. Some people have reasoned that this is somehow a stunt for Ice’s TV or something of that sort.
Well, I am realizing that this is really getting real. Apparently there IS a video tape of Coco and there IS and offer for this video. The asking price was somewhere in the 100k range, which ain’t a lot of money, so I am assuming somebody accepted it.
Rumor Fix has the scoop:
Publicist Kali Bowyer tells RumorFix exclusively that reps for the musical artist contacted her asking for “help to promote and sell pictures and video above the 100k offer.” Now Bowyer tells us she was told the rapper “has various pics, audio and footage of him placing his hand into her private parts, acts of oral sex, doggy style positions with miscellaneous graphic exploits and sexual conduct.” Bowyer turned down the job, telling us, ” While I personally will NOT engage in something so crude and disgusting, I have no hesitation in blowing the lid off his intentions.”
Damn. Did Coc..NAH…she would do Ice dirty…would she?

Hip-Hop Rumors: Tahiry Married? What The?
I got this crazy rumor and I’m not even going to play with the rumor, because its potentially false. I think this is crazy, but peep it. Somebody sent the following. There is a longer letter, but this is the “run of show,” so to speak.
[ALSO READ: Tahiry’s New Song “Devil”]
“As stated in the previous email a documentary on Mrs Jose will be released comprised of what was detailed in that email. Attached you will see Mrs Jose marriage certificate, as well as a purchase she made during her sexual relationship with Trey Songz. This is in good faith to assure you that what is said to being produced is factual. As you see Mrs Jose was indeed married to Nicholas J Brown on 6/25/2004 and is still married to this day! Also as you see a Star that is registered in Trey Songz name was purchased by her archives show the purchase was made with her credit card. Her commentary texts and pics in the documentary will in fact show and prove the nature of there sexual relationship. He is definitely a victim of her willful exposure to the disease she carries.”
I wish I had some of that Tahiry booty even with these lies, but I cannot validate the sensational claims here and I bet its just bogus. Tahiry has not responded. The supposed marriage license is below.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Meek Mill Sneak Attacks Cassidy On Philly Radio!
“What I’ma do now”
Wow! The homey QDeezy got Meek Mill to go in on Cassidy on the sneak without saying names. But its very clear that he’s going in on his Philly bull. The crazy thing is Deezy wasn’t even feeding into it but Meek just wanted to go it. Meek just goes at it….oops…he called him Assidy….names were named. I wonder if Cass has a reply.
What took so long for the reply? Checkers, not chess I guess. Anyway, he talks about the Chris Brown/Drake “fight,” being role model, Rihanna and a bunch of other stuff.
Will this re-ignite the beef or is it dead?

Eminem Plots for a Summer Return
(AllHipHop News) In the immortal words of the philosopher Cam’ron: it’s going to be a hot summer.
Eminem’s longtime manager Paul Rosenberg recently told Billboard that Eminem’s eighth studio album will be release “post-Memorial Day.”
He assures fans that the highest selling rapper of all-time is “far into the process” of recording his follow up to his multiplatinum 2010 album Recovery and his 2011 collaborative album Hell: The Sequel with Royce Da 5’9.
Details about the as-of-yet untitled opus began leaking Thursday (Feburary 7) when British newspaper The Sun reported that Eminem would be sampling newcomer UK artist Jamie N Common for his first single.
“It’s scheduled to be Eminem’s big single this summer when he headlines the Reading and Leeds festivals in the UK.” Rosenberg made mention of Mr. Mathers’ scheduled UK performances and consequently they are “trying to see what else lines up. Eminem will headline the Reading and Leeds Festival this August.
The Shady Records general is not the only one gearing up to release music.
Yelawolf is currently in Nashville, Tenn recording his sophomore album. Joe Budden released No Love Lost this Tuesday (Feb 5th) with the remaining Slaughterhouse members all due to release solo albums.
Eminem’s last solo album, Recovery to date has sold over 5.8 million records.

A Year After Death: Whitney Houston is Immortalized
When Whitney Houston was living she was the first female artist to debut #1 on Billboard Top 200, received over 400 awards, sold over 200 million records worldwide and is on the shortlist of the greatest singing voices ever recorded. She continues that dominance with a pre-Grammy tribute planned, being immortalized in wax and having the most popular love song. She is having the best week ever.
On February 7, Harris Interactive survey’s poll on American’s favorite love songs resulted in Whitney Houston’s monumental classic “I Will Always Love You” being voted #1. The 1992 cultural smash hit from the soundtrack fro the movie The Bodyguard scored 38% of votes among adults and was the top pick of all widowed, divorced or separated Americans polled.
Houston’s cover of country legend Dolly Parton’s 1974 song beat out other notable love songs such as Aerosmith’s “Dont Want to Miss A Thing”, Bee Gees’ “How Deep Is Your Love” and even Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On”.
Madame Tussauds New York showcased four life-like wax statues of the late singer. Each will be installed in four Madam Tussaud locations: Washington, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and New York.
The Washington D.C. figure will be of Houston performing the national anthem at the 1991 Super Bowl; Las Vegas will showcase Houston from her 1988 music video for “I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)”; the wax figure for Los Angeles will be of her from The Bodyguard; and New York gets the wax figure modeled off a 2009 photo shoot.
Tonight (February 9), longtime friend and mentor of Whitney Houston, Clive Davis is planning a tribute to Houston at his annual pre-Grammy party.
“(I am) going to do something to remind everybody that her talent lived among us and in so many people,” the iconic music mogul told People.com “It’s a different kind of opening. The opening has never been done before, with the kind of music that’s unprecedented.” There are no details yet on who is set to be apart of the tribute.
