WHAT CAUSED RICK ROSS’S SEIZURES?

Obviously, this is a touchy topic, but I would be remiss if I didn’t mention – in a discrete way – what I am hearing about Rick Ross’s back-to-back seizures. Well, its fairly simple to be frank. I am hearing that Rozay lives one hell of a rock star life. If you know what I mean, then you know what I mean. Fortunately, they are now taking this thing seriously and making sure he gets the proper medical attention necessary to move on in a more healthy way! On that note, Black men, take care of yourself! Tone Loc passed out on stage this weekend too. We gotta do better about our health.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Shyne Gets Dropped From Def ‘Jam?

I can’t lie. I am not really sure what is going on with Shyne. Last time I had heard anything from Shyne was on the Lil Wayne album. Well, as far as his deal with Def Jam – nothing. This leads me to the latest. I am hearing Shyne’s deal with Def Jam is ka-put. I heard he’s been quietly dropped from the label. This comes as no shocker. Truth is, he’s gone through more changes than a woman in menopause. He may rebound, if this is true, since there are other rumors that he’s down with the Cash Money team. I can’t believe Def Jam, under LA Reid, paid a million bucks for dude. We’ll see what’s what….right?

Here is Shyne on Lil Wayne’s CD. He sounds kinda crazy.

Here is his classic:
