The myth that is Detox is no closer to release than it was 10 years ago. Instead, Dr. Dre is finding the time to appear in his new signee’s music video, Kendrick Lamar’s “The Recipe”.

The Doctor was in the house earlier this week when the two shot the music video at a Malibu mansion. ScHoolboy Q and Ab-Soul also stopped by the set to show their Black hippie support for the Compton rapper.

I guess hanging out at a Malibu mansion with a bunch of bikini clad babes ranks higher on the list than completing Detox for Dr. Dre these days. What can you do!? Check out the photos from the set of “The Recipe” below, courtesy of ScHoolboy Q’s instagram:

Kendrick Lamar is currently prepping his major label debut via Aftermath/Interscope/TDE.

Musically, 50 Cent is at a crossroads.

He’s fending off his the competition at every turn as a young crop of artist rises in Hip-Hop. Still, Curtis Jackson isn’t too concerned. As he points out, “I been on the Forbes list 10 years straight – consecutively.” The mogul looks at the rap game like the corner and his options for making money are increasingly limited. He’s decided to release his 5th and final obligation to Interscope whether the label supports it or not.

Money isn’t every thing and 50 gives the status of his relationship to the rest of G-Unit, Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo. It may be time for them to fly on their own, he asserts. But, when asked about estranged member Young Buck, who has had a myriad of personal and business problems, the General goes even colder. [Watch Young Buck “review” 50 Cent’s “Lost Tape” ] “Where I’m from we got a code of conduct we follow: Don’t bite the hand that feeds you,” 50 Cent says. “N***as is lucky you don’t just kill ’em. N***as shot me for $5,000.”

Here is Part 2 of the exclusive interview with 50 Cent, where he talks about his revenue, the status of G-Unit, and why the boot will not soon come off Young Buck’s neck.

This Allen Iverson divorce has more twists and turns than a roller coaster at Six Flags! A few weeks ago, it looked like the two were reconciling when Iverson told the judge that they were still sleeping together. But it looks like things have taken a turn for the worse, and Iverson is going for Tawanna’s jugular.

According to the Philadelphia Enquirer, Iverson is allegedly trying to get his estranged wife locked up for stealing his personal items. Iverson says that he went on a business trip to Asia, and when he came back, his house was emptied out. He is accusing Tawanna of taking everything, including furniture, art, large amounts of money, and all of his clothing from his Atlanta home. A judge has not yet ruled on the decision, but Iverson is asking that his wife be locked up for harassment until she returns his stuff.

What about the kids, A.I.?
