(AllHipHop News) Famed producer DJ Premier has released his list of the top 20 albums of 2009.

According to DJ Premier, he based his list solely on “dope beats, dope rhymes, scratching and cutting, creativity, uniqueness, originality and overall packaging of the product’s integrity.”

Blaq Poet’s Tha Blaqprint was number one on DJ Premier’s list, while Raekwon’s Only Built For Cuban Linx 2 placed at number two on the respected producer’s list.[Editor’s Note: Tha Blaqprint was entirely produced by DJ Premier, save two songs.]

OC and AG’s Oasis was number three, while Masta Ace and Ed OG’s Arts and Entertainment landed at number four.

Number five was Obie Trice’s album Special Reserve.

(AllHipHop News) Entertainment mogul Devyne Stephens ended 2009 with a sizable $300,000 donation to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, and a pledge to launch a year-long awareness campaign throughout 2010.

Stephens, who is credited with signing and discovering Akon and T-Pain, is also vice president of Akon’s Konvict Muzik record label.

The announcement and donation were made on December 29 at the organization’s Annual Christmas Gala, named “Puttin’ on the Ritz: The Top Hat Affair,” which also featured Atlanta notables Jermaine Dupri, Monica, Yung Joc, and Mayor Kasim Reed.

“Helping to make the Children’s at Hughes Spalding dream a reality means the world to me,” explained Upfront Megatainment chairman and founder Devyne Stephens to AllHipHop.com. “I’ve always been a strong believer in investing in the future, and the future is our children. I’m extremely honored to be collaborating with Children’s at Hughes Spalding and to officially launch Devyne Intervention around such a worthy cause. I look forward to the months ahead and working with the Children’s team.”

Stephens’ Devyne Intervention foundation aims to inspire and empower young people through music education. Based primarily in the state of Georgia, the organization will offer writer’s workshops that focus on song construction, arranging, and performance.

The Children’s Healthcare Chair of Trustees praised Stephen’s efforts, detailing that their goal to raise $43 million in capital was secured mostly through the efforts of private citizens.

“With a long history as the medical home for many families, Children’s at Hughes Spalding will be able to continue to lead the community to a healthier future,” stated Stephanie Blank, Chair of the Children’s Foundation Board of Trustees. “This bright future is secured through the unyielding support for Children’s from the generous contributions from our donors.”

The new pediatric facility will feature an improved Emergency department, child-friendly impatient beds, and specialty clinics (sickle-cell, asthma, and child protection).

The hospital will retain its services for cancer, cardiac, neonatal, orthopedic, and transplants.

Angelyne claims that the makers of the film “Notorious” about the life of Christopher “Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace, used her image in the movie without her consent.

She claims that one of her famous billboard’s in Los Angeles is featured in a 12-second scene in the movie without her permission.

“At no time has Angelyne authorized any of the defendants to reproduce, or adapt distribute any image containing her copyrighted billboard for use in the ‘Notorious’ motion picture,” the complaint reads.

Combs’ Bad Boy Films, Fox Searchlight Pictures and State Street Pictures are all named as defendants in the lawsuit.

Angelyne seeks up as much as $100,000 in damages.

(AllHipHop News) Atlanta rapper Alfamega has confirmed that his son and daughter were involved in a violent altercation inside of T.I.’s Club Crucial in Atlanta.

Alfamega told AllHipHop.com that his daughter was involved in some sort of altercation inside of the club which, resulted in her being stabbed multiple times.

Alfamega’s son was also beaten and suffered from a broken jaw, when he tried to intervene on behalf of his sister.

“I had a talk with Tip’s uncle Derrick, who co-owns Club Crucial,” Alfamega told AllHipHop.com in an exclusive interview. “I was like ‘my daughter got stabbed up there dog and my son got his jaw fractured. He ‘was like huh? I didn’t know that.’ They didn’t know, they people they got into it with didn’t know they were my children. I was told that my children wasn’t in the wrong. The girls and the dudes attacked her and stabbed her and basically my son jumped in cause they were attacking his sister and somebody hit him from the blindside.”

His daughter suffered from three stab wounds in addition to one collapsed lung.

She was released from the hospital and is currently recuperating from her injuries, as is the rapper’s son who also suffered multiple contusions, in addition to the broken jaw.

At press time it is not known if anyone has been charged in the assault.

“He [Derrick] called the guys who supposed to run the little crew they got into it with and they didn’t know it was my children either,” Alfamega told AllHipHop.com. “They were really shocked and remorseful. And I told they the only reason I am going to give them a pass is because they didn’t know. And I don’t want to take it there because I still got a little situation. I don’t want it to be deeper than what it is. I am glad that both of my children are still living.”

The incident occurred on Christmas Eve (December 24), just two days after T.I. was released from a low security prison facility in Arkansas, after serving less than a year for possession of machine guns and silencers.

Alfamega had a falling out with T.I. and the Grand Hustle camp in 2009, after thesmokinggun.com revealed that Alfamega had served as an informant in a drug case.

The rapper was quick to point out that the incident had nothing to do with his feud with T.I.

Alfamega stated that the perpetrators of the crime had no idea that the people that they assaulted were his daughter and son.

“I straight up told the dudes there wouldn’t be any street retaliation behind it, even though there might be others that don’t feel the same way I do that surround me,” Alfamega told AllHipHop.com “And at the end of the day, it’s all about what I want to do. And I don’t want no street retaliation of violence. It’s a new year. And all in a nutshell they didn’t know. I would look at it different if they knew they was my children. And I don’t wish that upon nobodies children.”
