Game - No Deal

The rumor that Game would rejoin G-Unit is officially dead. 50, of course didn't agree to Game's apparent terms of getting half of 50's Vitamin Water deal, as well as putting Lloyd Banks on Black Wall Street... LOL. Like that would ever happen, heheh. So, no chance they'll be back together.

My boy did it again... You will fall out ya seat reading what Future wrote about earlier this week...

Future on Young Berg (Sexy Lady):

"I've seen interviews of this lil gremlin on MTV and he claims to have
been signed by DMX.

I mean I don't really doubt it, X is a man who carried on a public
conversation with the demons in his head for like 6 albums
. He also got
high on crack and tried to steal a car while impersonating a FBI agent."...

Jay-Z - Leaving For Columbia?!

Jay-Z might be leaving his President position at Def Jam, in order to join Def Jam co-founder Rick Rubin at Columbia.

People ask, "Why would Jay-Z leave Def Jam if he's the President?"

One of the reasons might be because Jermaine Dupri is now running a Def Jam subdivision, Island Records Urban Music Group.

Another reason, Beyonce is signed to Columbia Records.

According to The New York Daily News, Jay-Z will also be leaving Island Def Jam owning his entire catalog.

Recently, there was also a rumor that Jay-Z and Beyonce were in negotiations with Apple's iTunes to create a digital record label. Well see about that as time progresses.


Beyonce - Big Fall in Orlando!

Speaking of Beyonce, there is footage online (Youtube, among other places) that shows Beyonce falling down a couple steps on stage with a wild weave on. Her label claims that the hem of her coat got caught in her shoe.

She's a trooper though. She kept it movin' after she got up and got the admiration of the crowd. That's a REAL performer.

Chamillionaire - Road To Ultimate Victory

Chamillionaire is getting ready for his upcoming profanity-free album, Ultimate Victory. He is brushing off 50 remarks about him, though.

"Let him [Chamillionaire] go sell gospel records, if he's so f***in' righteous..." "I can write around the curses if I want to, but you can't tell me to write around the curses."

This is what Chamillionaire told AHH:

"There are way more interesting things to talk about, besides, beef and dissing people." "I'ma leave that to everybody else. There was a time were the Hip-Hop battle was cool, cause it was lyrical or whatever, but now, its stale, people used it as a gimmick."

Instead, Chamillionaire will use his album to express his opinions on a number of subject's, including Kobe Bryant, OJ, President Bush and Hurricane Katrina. He just shot a video for it. Watch out for it. Chamillionaire's hopes Ultimate Victory is due in stores September 18.

Quick Tidbit: Don't forget that Sean Kingston's album comes out next Tuesday! I have high hopes for it. :-D

Ja Rule & Lil' Wayne - Both Hit With Gun Charges!


Talk about coincidence...

Lil' Wayne and Ja Rule were arrested July 23rd in NY in two separate incidents.
Ja Rule was stopped around 10:30 pm in Manhattan for speeding on West End Avenue.
Police searched the vehicle, they found a .40 caliber hand gun.

An hour later, Lil' Wayne was searched after police saw him and another associate smoking marijuana by a tour bus near 61st Street and Columbus Avenue. The arrest occurred shortly after Lil' Wayne's performance at the Beacon Theater.

Both rappers were charged with criminal possession of a weapon and marijuana.

P.S. - Coincidently, look out for their upcoming track, "Uh-Oh" on Ja's album, The Mirror.

My View: Uh-oh is right, lol.


Clipse - Speak about Lil' Wayne!

Speaking of Lil' Wayne, Clipse had some choice things to say about the N.O. rapper. During an interview with Laced Magazine, they had this to say:

"You can't kiss other men, you can't wobble dee-wobble dee, and and you can't bite styles," Pusha told Laced. "You can't bite everybody's styles. You can't try to rap like Jay-Z, dress like The Clipse, become a coke dealer after 5 albums, and now dress like Jim Jones. You can't do all that and be a legend. You have to be a trendsetter and he ain't setting any trends."


My View: 'Nuff said.


Suge Knight - Don't Mess With Suge! He's a Biter!


According to New York's Daily News, Suge and Kevin Connolly, aka E from Entourage, were play fighting during Lebron James' ESPY Awards after party. Suge reportedly bit E's finger!

"Kevin and Suge were wrestling and Suge literally bit Kevin's finger," a witness told NY's Daily News. "He was bleeding everywhere...Kevin didn't seem too upset," the witness added, "although he must have been in tons of pain."

50 is suing Traffix Inc., the company that created the advertisement featuring a caricature of 50 Cent smiling (with those buck teeth, lol) that offered fans the chance to click their mouses and "shoot the rapper."
