50 CENT GUNNING FOR DIDDY?

50 Cent is a pitbull. It really takes a lot to un-clamp those jaws of death when they lock down. Diddy might be the next one in his line of fire. Recently, somebody has purported to have pictures of Diddy in compromising positions. Hmmm…I wonder what that means? Anyway. Cassie is supposedly in these images as well and we know how she gets down on the hacked pictures tip.

OLD RUMOR: HOW’D 50 CENT GET STABBED?

So, here you go. This is an old, but definitely a goodie. An industry friend of mine hit me with this one. Ja Rule and 50 Cent are at war and, at that time, Ja had the upper hand. Nobody ever asked how Ja, Irv and the Murder Inc crew got in the studio to stab 50 Cent. Now, 50 said it was nothing more than a scratch, that required a mere few stitches. Well, the point is…I heard Pras of the Fugees was the missing link for Ja Rule and them. Ja and Pras were rumored to be real cool at that point in time. Apparently, Pras and 50 Cent were booked for studio time on the same day. Rumor has it, Pras opened the door and let the goons in! Unfortunately or fortunately, it worked in reverse and 50 blew up even bigger and all other parties have basically floundered.

T.I.’s BOOK!

There is a lot of mystery surrounding a recent meeting T.I. had at a book publisher. The details are scant, but T.I. is reportedly working on his first novel or autobiography. I supposed since Tip has been inside the belly of the beast, lost a close friend and had tons of guns. He’s got a story to tell and some money to make in the process.

VADO UPDATE

I heard that lil beef situation that Vado had with the bald-headed old dudes was much about nothing. Obviously, I don’t know for sure, but somebody else hit me up and said it was something with his “old heads.” I guess, he has some street mentors? I don’t know. Apparently this is a quote directly from Vado: “I was arguing with my old heads about the Lebron thing.” Nuff said.

Shout out to Rideout163!

TOO SHORT’S MUGSHOT

Man, Short Dog looking kind of old.

 PRETTY RICKY SNORTS COKE?

Quoting Nas, “These are yall’s heroes.” Now, this dude is considered the “crazy one” in Pretty Ricky. I don’t even know his name. So, they have the gay one, the old one, the one with the woman’s name and the coke snorter!

I’m glad I’m not a teen. This isn’t what I would need to be seeing as a young buckeroo trying to find my way in life.

SIGNS…THAT

LIFE IS HARD

  A Brazilian spider bites people and sends them to the hospital. But

there is a hitch. The venom has agents that activate an “hours-long”

e####### in men (and some types of women -LOL!). In Brazil, the doctors

know exactly what’s happening! These men come into the hospital with a

crazy b#### and they know these men have been trying to fix their

erectile dysfunction. The docs are working on extracting the goods from

this spider so men can have their bones back. Pause! Now don’t go down

to Brazil and get bit. Just wait for the medicine.

MEL, YOU ARE SO MANY THINGS!

Add woman beater to the list. Some have questioned the validity of this

Lil Kim Is On Dr. Dre’s Detox; Preps New Album

(AllHipHop News) Lil Kim is quickly working on her new album, but also revealed she was assisting Dr. Dre on the producer’s own comeback album.

“I am working on my album,” said Lil Kim. “I’m gonna be dropping some singles soon. I’m not concentrated on dropping an album so soon, but I will be dropping singles. I’m doing a collaboration right now in the studio with Keri Hilson. I’m so excited! This is for her album though. So you might be hearing that song really soon. Shout out to Polow. I love you Polow. ‘Cause he did the track, Polow Da Don. I’m gonna be working with a lot of great people on my album. Timbaland is someone I’m really close with. I’m on Dr. Dre’s Detox album. I’m really excited about that one.”

Detox is the highly delayed album by Dr. Dr. It was originally slated to drop in 2004.

Kim made the revelation last week on her birthday last week at West Hollywood’s Millions of Milkshakes.

The Dream Talks Christina Milian; Relationshp Troubles

(AllHipHop News) R&B crooner The Dream, born Terius Nash, recently  issued statement regarding recent allegations of infidelity about his failed relationship with Christina Milian. “I would love to tell the truth as to why my relationship wasn’t successful,” The Dream stated in an emotional letter to his fans. “But today that is between me and Christina.””Its easy to say that its because of another woman or a new relationship but truthfully, its not.”On June 29th, the R&B singer released his third studio album titled Love King, which features the hit single, “Make Up Bag” featuring Atlanta rapper T.I.In the song The Dream ironically sings about buying his girlfriend a “make up” bag to compensate for infidelity in a relationship gone wrong.This only fueled the rumors that swirled when a recent picture of the songwriter/singer and his assistant surfaced on the net last week, featuring The Dream groping his young professional counterpart.”I’m human and people fall in and out of love, this is life. Nothing’s promised or perfect. Neither am I. I am not proud I lost something we once had…love.”On Twitter many fans expressed feelings of sadness, doubt, resentment. Some even hoped that this could give him content and freedom to write a new album, despite the fact he has issued statements saying this would be his final album using the Dream persona.”I’ve cried about this for months, after interviews, after prayer, and I’ve tried to take my own life because of the failure that was looming,” The Dream stated. The Dream’s most recent album Love King sold nearly 59,000 copies its first week.

THE DREAM CONTROLLED CHRISTINA MILAN?

HUH? I am not a fan of The Dream, but it would seem like some people are trying to make him out to be the freakin’ Black Hitler or something. He said he tried to kill HIMSELF in a recent open letter about the failed marriage. I don’t know..Dreamie may need more people for this claim.

Read the letter here.

Here is the bit about him trying to control her:

“He constantly tried to argue with her about her family and to this day blames it on her side.. but Christina moved to Atlanta while everyone was in LA and it became clear that all anyone could do to make her happy at that time was let her go.. and they did.. but he continued to go at her with the same problems while she dedicated this “new life” to him, pushing aside her career and family for him..

He even faked illness to drag her further into this misery.. Christina was forced to play mommy to a newborn and to a full grown man and had no time to attend to herself, forcing her family to make extended visits in order to help her..”

WHY PAC DISSED DE LA SOUL!

I was checking out http://www.brooklynbodega.com and they explained from De La Soul why Tupac dissed them back in the day. Here is what they said:

BB: I have to ask you this question. It’s a weird question and I can’t anticipate how you’re going to respond to it, but I’ve wondered about this for thirteen years now. On “Against All Odds” by Tupac [off the Makaveli album], somehow De La’s name came into the conversation. How did you guys end up on that track? Was that just what ‘Pac was on at the time, or was there an actual conversation or incident that [prompted him to diss you]?

Pos: Basically, we had did “Ego Tripping” the video [in 1993]. Pac had reached out to us because he thought we were dissing him because he thought that the video kind of mirrored “I Get Around”. He thought we were showing him in the mansion but then we were saying it wasn’t his mansion. Pac reached out like “yo, I love y’all. I love y’all so why are ya’ll dissing me?”. And I reached back to him like “dawg, we’re definitely not dissing you. We’re being clowns making fun of how certain people take the s### a little too serious” and he was like “aight, cool” [when] he reached back. But then I guess around the time when we put Stakes Is High out, and then all that nonsense happened between me and Treach [from Naughty By Nature] and all that other s###, Pac and Treach were [tight]. And the only reason I know the background behind this is because, maybe two years ago, I ran into Pac’s sister and she let us know that “yo, he loved y’all. He was just hurt when he thought maybe y’all dissed him”. And then how, with Stakes Is High, we came out doing what we was doing, he felt like, with his boys, like “yo, this is what I need to say”. But [Pac’s sister] was like “I want y’all to know, he loved y’all”. And I feel that. I feel like a lot of times [for example] when [MC] Shan and KRS-One beef, I don’t think people really hate each other. That’s definitely how it was for us. We loved Pac. We’ve loved so many groups. We’ve never tried to be a part of anything negative.

Here is the video:

Review: Activision’s Singularity

Ever since the release of the landmark DOOM in 1993, first person shooters have grown to be an ever popular genre in the gaming industry. Over time it has been proven that FPS’s need to bring more than your standard running and gunning to table in order to deliver a great game. Some first person shooters have succeeded with engrossing storylines, and amazing attention to detail while others have fallen completely short of even amusing your most casual gamer. Activision’s newest entry Singularity (Activision) falls right in the middle of this spectrum.Singularity primarily takes place in present day Russia. As American soldier Nate Renko, you’re sent there find out the source of its high radiation levels. In true video game fashion, things aren’t this simple. Come to find out the Russians experimented with a powerful substance called Element 99 in the 1950’s which could manipulate time. After your plane crashes, you wake up trying to survive as you flip flop between 2010 and 1955.The storyline is unique, but some of the gameplay elements are not. Throughout your adventure you’ll pi ck up scattered audio recordings and film clips that will help you get a better idea of what transpired ala Bioshock. You can also grab selected items and throw them at the enemy which is very reminiscent of Half Life. As you progress through the game, Singularity shows some individuality with great pacing throughout the time glitches and bigger battles.As a soldier, you have several weapons at your disposal. Standard automatics aside, we get some cool twists to the guns in the game. The sniper rifle slows down time as you shoot down your foes. Another notable mention is a rifle that grants you the ability to steer bullets right into your target. The marquee weapon throughout the game is the Time Manipulation Device. With this particular gadget, you can do a number of things including slow down attackers, age enemies into dust, send shockwaves and more. As the game progresses, the TMD becomes even more useful with solving puzzles and maneuvering through dead ends.While the action presents some great moments, the presentation doesn’t add any style points. The graphics are not bad but are not great either. The animation is simple and the textures are low resolution. Furthermore you do come across some quirky bugs like supporting characters talking to with their mouth completely shut.In regards to multiplayer, Singularity has a great twist to the standard online warfare.  Regardless of the match set up, it’s always soldiers versus creatures. As a creature you have different attacks you can utilize like ripping someone’s head off and take over their body. You can choose different classes of aliens and soldiers as well. While the multiplayer component is quite fun here, the online community on this game is still growing.Overall Singularity will appeal to those looking for a good shooter. This title won’t dazzle you with a thorough presentation or a story worth a movie adaption, but will suck you in with some great action. No time machine needed.

IRS Forms Special Unit To Track Rappers, Athletes Income, Lil Wayne Owes $1.5 Mil

(AllHipHop.com) After gaining the attention of fans earlier this week with a heart felt letter from behind bars, incarcerated New Orleans rapper Lil’ Wayne is making headlines in a less favorable way.Apparently the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is after Lil’ Wayne’s fortunes, seeking over $1.13 million dollars in back taxes for the years 2004, 2005 and 2007.The IRS filed and a lien against his One Family Foundation this past June in Dade County Florida courts, as the lien maintains the same address as his charitable organization.This is the second tax lien filed against Wayne in the last 2 years as in 2008 he paid off a tax debt of $977,840Representatives for Lil’ Wayne could not be reached for comments at the time of press release.Multiple sources confirmed with AllHipHop.com that the IRS has a special unit that tails and tracks the artists, as one of the methods used to keep a tab on their earnings.The “issue management team” was formed in 2007 and its goal is to get unclaimed tax money from athletes and entertainers in the United States and foreigners who come to tour the country. “A few years ago, they concluded that athlete and entertainer taxes might be escaping their radar. So they reinstated a division to only deal with this area,” said Bill Zysblat of the global touring/accounting company RZO Productions. A number of rappers have fallen into tax troubles since 2007. Artists and executives like Suge Knight ($6 million), Nas ($3 million), DMX ($1.5 million), Lil Wayne ($1 million), Swizz Beatz ($645,000), Snoop Dogg ($598,000), Fat Joe ($140,000),  Method Man ($40,000) and numerous others have had to account to the IRS in the past year alone. A source told AllHipHop.com that in the pursuit of the tax dollars, a variety of artists have landed in trouble for other infractions, such as gun possession and a variety of drug charges.The IRS is also investigating a number of record labels and artists, who ran money through their non-profits for commercial gains.

The Dream Writes Letter About Failed Marriage

Terius “The Dream” Nash has written an open letter about his failed marriage to Christina Milian.The letter is below in its entirety.

 

In My Own Words:

First I want to thank God for the trials of life, without them we can’t know purpose!

I would love to tell the truth as to why my relationship wasn’t successful, but today that is between me and Christina. Its easy to say that it’s because of another woman or a new relationship but truthfully, IT’S NOT.

I take FULL RESPONSIBILITY for misleading everyone into thinking everything was fine and okay when we knew problems existed for awhile! I wanted to speak up but we decided it wasn’t for anyone to know. I would NEVER intentionally hurt a soul and everyone around me knows that! There was so much going on in me and Christina’s personal world that I tried to deal with it as delicately as I could and tried to regain my footing. Instead of being direct in order not to cause even more hurt or hurt someone’s feelings, I carried the weight in secret!

I am Human and people fall in and out of Love all the time… This is Life.  Nothing’s promised or perfect, neither am I.  I am not proud that I lost something we once had…LOVE!  I’ve always been a Loving Father, Hard Worker, Generous, Stern and Eager to prove myself.  My faults are I can be irresponsible and an ass sometimes, but I HAVE NEVER and WILL NEVER be a malicious person or wish harm to anyone, especially those I love or the mother of my child.  I’m sorry for the embarrassment to everyone involved!  If there’s anyone to blame and you can’t fathom this happening, please blame me and me alone for not being upfront!  Even though we were trying to overcome personal things between us, I was just simply scared and embarrassed to let everyone know we WERE FAILING and HAVE NOW FAILED!

This is not to justify anything, it’s true emotion! It’s a real thing that involves real people!  I’ve cried about this for months, after interviews, after prayer and I’ve tried to take my own life at a point because of the failure that was looming.

But I was reminded by my MOTHER that I am not “Superman” and its okay to lose sometimes…

This too shall pass! And everything will be fine!
