King Koopa unites H-Town again


Peep Chamillionaire's new track Won't Let You Down (Texas Remix). It's fire. Man, it's a shame Koopa didn't sell this time around. I think he tried to do too much different stuff.

Chamillionaire- Won't Let You Down (Texas Remix)

Crime Mob - Short one member!


Lol, I don't know big of news this is but Crime Mob, the group that brought you 'Knuck If U Buck' and "Rock Yo Hips' has annouced that her fellow lady rapper, Diamond has left the group. No word on the reasons why, but Princess did say that Diamond wants to go solo and is going to drop an album in '08. She also told us to check out her new myspace and peep Diamond's new songs on there. Solo album?...fo real?

DJ Toomp and Mariah Carey collab!


DJ Toomp of Young Jeezy and T.I. fame is workin' on Mariah's upcoming album to be released in 2008. Apparently MC is almost done with her project but needed a club banger and that is exactly what DJ Toomp came with. I can't wait to hear what this seemingly unlikely pair came up with. Please believe MF 3.0 will bring it to ya as soon as we hear word.

Girl Fights? Lil Kim calls out Remy



Lil Kim has called out Remy Ma, talkin' down on the former Terror Squad's first lady on a freestyle to "I Get Money." Kim can be heard spittin the lines, "Who the hell is this chick, she's been out kinda long / Had one hot song, I'm sorry I missed it / Too busy being conceited being on my lipstick / Taking trips out in Cali chillin with the Hiltons." Now I know Kim use to be vicious back in her hey day but face it this ain't 1999, and Remy Ma is KNOWN for battlin', I mean that's what she does. And plus she crazy, the girl shot up her homegirl for stealin' money out her purse! Kim really need to be careful. What yall think?

Girl Fights? Janet Jackson vs. Mariah Carey


And speakin' of Mariah Carey her album which was to be released this month, but then was pushed back to early 1st quarter of next year is now rumored to have THE SAME release date of Janet Jackson's new album. Now I know they ain't no real beef with these women but you gotta wonder how long healthy competition stays healthy comeption. Should be real interesting to see what happens with sales and what not seein' as JD, Janet's boyfriend is helming Mariah's project, and L.A. Reid, the man responsible for bringing Mariah over to Def Jam is lending a big helping hand to Janet's new album. Wild. To me it all seem like a good way to bring more buzz to both projects, and ayo I think it's working.

Mannie Fresh - Sister found dead!


And to report on some sad news, Mannie Fresh's sister, Angela Bryant, was found dead in her New Orleans home (11/29) and was shot to death. No leads yet on why, or who but police suspect a random burglary. If this is the case then what the hell is going on? These robbers is fo real trippin. Angela Bryant is survived by her two young children, two and seven, as well as her newly wedded husband of last month. What a shame.

This is Dilly, yall enjoy the weekend. oh and GO VOTE!

Hey folks,

Mike Jones - My Number Still Works!

Wow... not that I'm an avid fan of Mike Jones, but I heard his phone got cut off, lol... You know... 281-330-8004... Anywayz, whether it's true or not, he's got his own YouTube to back up the story that it's still on...



Lil' Wayne & Lauren London engaged?!


If this is true, ALOT of dudes are gonna have their hearts broken, lol. Rumor has it, that Lil' Wayne is not engaged to Karrine Steffans (y'all know who, lol), but to none other than the notorious new model from "This Christmas", Lauren London! Heard she got a NICE big rock from Wayne.

Snoop Dogg - Sensual Seduction


I don't know how many of you guys caught this, but Dilly posted this track a few weeks ago, but I ended up removing it after an hour or so after hearing it becuase I felt it was TOO much. (Sorry for having a conscious. ) Coincidentally, I heard and ripped the radio edit today... (Shout outs to my cousin, Kevin!) and felt this was ALOT cleaner than the explicit... Think of "Ayo Technology", but WORSE... Anywayz, I guess you guys will hear that version else where...

Anywayz, without further ado, check it out for yourself...

Hey folks,

Got Part 2 News of Yesterday... Not posting it all now, but just a lil' bit. I'll have a larger post by the end of the day...

Usher & Tomeka - Named Baby the 5th!


Just to finish off the Usher topic for the time being, it has been announced that they've named the baby Usher Raymond V... Yes, Usher was number 4. That's gonna be interesting when the Usher V gets older. Think he'll be singing like his daddy?

Common - Dating Serena Williams?!


I'm not much of a gossiper on relationships, but Common hasn't gotten much press as of late... I hear the honeys are real fans of his, so I'm just gonna throw this out here... They might be dating... I've seen Jay-Z & Beyonce try to pull this same kind of look off coming out of a restaurant... They try to go their separate ways so that it looks different than what it is...

RZA addresses Raekwon's Issues

Like Dilly was talking about earlier about Wu-Tang and how Raekwon didn't like how the album was coming, here is what RZA had to say about that... I think everybody in Wu-Tang is crazy, but that's just me...



Young Buck - Dude Got Robbed?!


There was a WILD rumor out there that Young Buck from G-Unit got robbed... Rumor was that there was an argument, and Young Buck lost his watch, chain and somebody took his Bentley!... That's CRAZY...

This is what Buck said to AHH:

“Ain’t nobody robbed me for a thing... There was an altercation between me and a dude here in Tennessee and during that altercation, I lost a watch which came off my arm. But as far as someone taking my Bentley, my Bentley is sitting pretty without a scratch on it, right here in my driveway and my jewelry is right here too. I guess this is what people wanted to happen. I didn’t get robbed for anything.”

Buck also said that the dispute wasn't over money. “I don’t owe anyone money and the dude who I had the altercation with knows me and I know him and we already had our words since the altercation happened, so whoever is posting this or commenting on this recklessly is trying to take Buck down but you can’t take Buck down.”

I heard that a similar incident happened when he tried to sign a homie of his to G-Unit... homie got his chain snatched, and 50 said "fahgeddaboutit", lol. Guess that's not what happened with Buck.

Hey folks,

We and Dilly been at it trying to post daily for you guys... Hope you guys are enjoying it... Anywayz, I got ridiculous news for y'all... It's ALOT, so I'm a cut it short, and save some for the rest of the week.

Birdman - Arrested on Marijuana charges!


Not that it's that big a deal... You know all them rappers got their weed habit, but the deal is that 15 people in his entourage got arrested! That's a big bust. All of them had about half an ounce of weed on 'em. The jailhouse got full REAL quick last night... In other words, most of Cash Money Records, promoter, Birdman's wife, Ronald Williams (CEO) among others minus Lil' Wayne got locked up on marijauna possession. Looks like Birdman is gonna need to use some of his 100 Million Dollars for bail money.

Usher - New Baby Boy!


Looks like Usher and Tomeka had their first baby boy born on Monday! Congrats to the couple. Great time to promote that new album, homie.

Fabolous - Street Fam Member Murdered!


One of Fab's childhood friends and member of his Street Family team was stabbed to death inside Duvet, a popular New York nightclub early Friday morning.

Police in front of the club saw Shamel McKinney, stumble out of the club, bleeding from multiple stab wounds.

Witnesses said that as the while two other women fought, three men attacked McKinney and he died from his stab wounds at nearby Saint Vincent’s hospital. Cops found a 7-inch folding knife covered in blood in a dumpster near the club.

That's pretty ill... Condolescences go out to McKinney's family.

Lauryn Hill - The Re-Education of Lauryn Hill!


People are still in awe in how Lauryn Hill made a classic album, "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill", won 5 grammies, then just fall off like that... Columbia Records has actually put out a mixtape out for her fans... I hope Lauryn can get back to THIS kinda music...

1. Music (intro)
2. Lose myself
3. Rebel
4. The passion
5. Selah
6. Social drug

R&N - 11/27/07 - EXCLUSIVES!

Dilly here, hittin' u with some more greatness...

You Gotta Hear This
Didn't somebody say Hip Hop is dead? Didn't I hear the south only knows how to make dance moves? Well Outkast have shot down all that nonsense with this new track, The Art of Storytelling pt. 4 ft. Marsha Ambrosius (formerly of Floetry). This track is going to be on DJ Drama's Gangsta Grillz: The Album.

Outkast ft. Marsha - The Art of Storytelling pt.4

DJ Drama's Turn
Not to be outdone by DJ Khaled current's reign, DJ Drama is gearin' up to release his fully loaded mixtape album and just keeps blessin' us with hot tracks. We already gave yall 5000 ones and showed yall the video on that, but look at what he got now...

Clipse ft. Pharrell - Cheers

Tabi Bonney: Breath of fresh air
This cat is real. Yall might have heard the name from the track he had buzzing earlier in the year, "The Pocket." Well apparently he has been killing in D.C. and other ares in the East Coast and is following up his last album, A Fly Guy's Theme, with another effort. His style is real different, I can't really explain it, I'll just let yall hear it n watch the video, n you'll let me know.

Tabi Bonney - Syce It

Birdman: I'm gonna make you hear me
I'm really not tryna hear a Birdman album but it's lookin' like that's what we're gonna have before we get blessed with The Carter III, but anyway Birdman got a new track, 100 Million Dollars...and u know what it's pretty similar to Pop Bottles, and 5000 ones, but it's playable. Why? Oh because it's got like 5 other cameos on there. I tell you man Birdman got friends.

Birdman ft Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, Dj Khaled and Dre - 100 million dollars

Smitty doubles up
Diamonds on my neck? Yall remember that joint? I use to love that track, well yeah that's him, and this is his new joint. It's called Tell Me, ft. Mario AND Chris Brown. Why you need to R&B artists on your joint? I don't know, but the song is a lil bit of a banger, nice mid-tempo joint. But definately not enough to get an album released. What yall think?

Smitty ft. Mario & Chris Brown - Tell Me

Alicia Keys ft. Kanye West's No One
I can't remember if I've posted it or not but this verse 'ye got is nice.

Kanye West -No One ft. Alicia Keys (lol)

Jackson 5 REUNION!

Yes, it's damn near official. Jermaine Jackson has released sayin' the fam is getting back together and will be touring in 2008. He says they owe it to the fans. Oh and this tour WILL be with Michael. Man, I don't know 'bout yall, but this is good news. Even if you don't like Michael Jackson, you know you luved Lil Mike. I really do see this tour working, especially if they let Michael and Janet have their solo sets, man, they'll sell out everywhere. What yall think?

That's all, holla.
