During Kanye West’s recent three-hour Twitter rant, he mentioned that he may be joining The Jetson’s Movie. But the temperamental star won’t be voicing any characters in the movie or even heading up the score for the film. Instead, Kanye is in talks to be the Creative Director.

“I was just discussing becoming the creative director for the Jetson movie,” he wrote.

Could it be true?

After ‘Ye mentioned his possible involvement in the film, our friends at MTV News put in a call to producer Denise Di Novi, who confirmed that talks with ‘Ye had indeed taken place:

“Kanye’s always been a Jetsons fan, I think because he’s so into design and he loves the design aspects. So we had a fun brainstorming conversation.”

What kind of creativity do you think Kanye can bring to The Jetsons Movie?

(AllHipHop News) Hip-Hop mogul Russell Simmons’ UniRush has filed a lawsuit against a company that he claims has been using the “Rush Card” name to leverage search results.

Lawyers for Simmons’s Rush Card filed a lawsuit against AccountNow in United States Federal Court, Southern Division.

According to the complaint, AccountNow is taking advantage of the word “Rush” and sending customers to its own website, in some cases trumping the real “Rush Card” display ads on various Internet sites.

Lawyers for Simmons’s Rush Card said that they sent a cease and desist notice to AccountNow in November of 2011, but the legal warning was ignored.

Lawyers for Simmons’ Rush Card are concerned that consumers are being confused by the similar advertising, which could damage Simmons’ brand.

Russell Simmons launched the Rush Card in 2004.

In 2008, Russell Simmons sued another fraudster for attempting to operate the website rushmecredit.com.

UniRush is suing for unfair competition, trademark infringement and seeks an undetermined amount of punitive damages.

Super producer NO I.D. turned down the opportunity to work with Biggie, Big Pun, and Ghostface Killah, all out of loyalty to Common! What a dunce! The producer recently revealed the mishap in a recent interview with XXL magazine. Read what he said below:

“After Resurrection I was getting calls for people to do work with me and I was turning it down,” “I got a call that Biggie wanted to hear some beats, Ghostface [Killah] and Big Pun. I’m like, Nah, I produce for Common. This is like Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth. At that time I didn’t even conceptualize trying to make beats, or produce for other people. It wasn’t even in my mind. I viewed myself as part of a group.”

Man, imagine Biggie over a NO I.D. beat! That would have been some straight ear candy!!

Hip-Hop Rumors: Nicki Minaj Getting Her Own Clothing Line???!!

It looks like dear old Nicki may be bringing her unique fashion sense to a store near you! The Hip-Hop diva, who is known for her out of this world style – including once wearing a dress made of stuffed animals – is in negotiations with a fashion house to design her own designer duds.

In a recent interview with the New York Times, Nicki’s manager, Cortez Bryant revealed that he is in talks with several fashion houses so Nicki can “sell her own line of clothes.”  I guess that’s why Nicki was sitting front row at numerous fashion shows during Fashion Week in NYC.  It all makes sense now!

Her management has been setting Nicki up for her own clothing line all along. In the past year, they have set up key fashion magazine covers, an H&M and Versace performance, and a televised Victoria’s Secret performance. Nicki will also be taking over for Lady Gaga as MAC’s Viva Glam Ambassador. Nicki is well on her way to taking over the world!!! Go ‘head with your bad self!

Quick question, though. Will Nicki’s clothes even be wearable for the average chick? Check out some of her most memorable and outrageous wardrobe choices below.

(AllHipHop News) Kid Cudi and producing partner Dot Da Genius have announced the delay of their upcoming, rock-inspired album, WZRD.

The album was originally set for release on January 30 –  the same day as Cudi’s birthday – but will now be hitting retailers on February 28.

Dot Da Genius revealed the news on Twitter last night (January 16) with the following message: “Hey Guys, WZRD Update. Me and Cudi have been working on our debut album and it’s almost near completion. We are in the final stages of mastering but we really had to take time and pay attention to the sonics as this is new territory for us. With that being said, we have decided to change the release date. We are looking roughly at Feb 28th. Y’all know how Cudi is’ and I’m the same way. Everything has to be in place and now it is. I know it’s late notice, we were trying to keep the date but got wrapped up making this album perfect for y’all. However for making you guys wait a little longer we will release ‘Brake‘ & ‘Teleport 2 Me‘ on iTunes on the previously said date. AS WELL AS ‘DOSE OF DOPENESS‘. Hopefully that will hold you guys over until the album drops!”

Cudi followed up Dot’s announcement with a tweet of his own: “My whole career Ive had 2 prove people wrong, WZRD will be no different. This album will finally make people believers, WE CAN DO ANYTHING.”

Previously-released tracks will be available for purchase on iTunes on January 30, with WZRD hitting store shelves on February 28th.
