25 Tidbits You Prolly Didn’t Know About Hip-Hop…
1. A few years after Weezy signed to Cash Money at the age of 11, Baby actually assumed responsibility as the legal guardian of Lil Wayne till he was the legal age of 18. So that whole creepy Daddy ish goin on is actually kinda legit. Regardless, and maybe it’s jus me, but I ain’t never thought bout kissin my pops on the lips
2. Kanye was born in ATL and Luda was actually born in Champaign, Illinois (Where the Fuck is Champaign Illinois??)
3.
Sources say Freddie Foxxx was originally gonna be Eric B.’s rapper not Rakim. Eric B. ALSO did security for Mike Tyson throughout much of the 90’s
4. Gravediggaz first album was supped to be called Niggamortis but because of Ol’ Uncle Sam, that did not happen. But in the United Kingdom it was sold with the title Niggamortis and a bonus track called “Pass the Shovel.”
5. Peedi Crack was offered a position in the Roots by ?uestlove after his work on The “Game Theory”. But when it was brought up to Black Thought it wasn’t a good fit in the end. Crack in the Roots would be pretty interesting
6. Chuck D gave Busta Rhymes his name after a former NFL wide receiver George “Buster” Rhymes.
7.I’ve found numerous sources that said LL Cool J wanted to do a song with ODB at one point in the mid 90s. But when Ol Dirty got to the studio, he ripped one of LL’s plaques off the wall and pissed on it. LL got vexed and told security to escort him off the premises.
8. 2Pac took some ballet as an artsy youth
9.Evidence was a well known grafitti artist before he became an mcee
10. Apparantly Eminem was supposed to be signed to Duck Down BEFORE signing with Dre and Aftermath, but Dru thought it was too risky signing a white rapper. Imagine Em in the BCC!!
11. Three 6 Mafia used to be called Triple Six Mafia and made songs about worshipping the devil, but were forced to change their name when they signed to Reletivity.
12. It’s rumored that “I got a story to tell” was vaguelly based on a real life incident Biggie had when he was slipping pipe to former NYC Nicks star John Starks’ woman.
13. Ghostface used to wear a mask earlier in the Wu’s career because he was really on the run from the police and finally took off the mask once his name got cleared.
14. Slum Village original name was supposed to be Senepod which is dopeness backwards. I’m sure they were glad they went with SV in the end…
15. De La Soul’s 3 Feet High and Rising was the first album to get 5 mics in The Source
Hit the jump for 15 - 25…

Diddy to Be the Pope for Halloween
NY Times - The Vulture reports:
Last night, at 1Oak, at a party thrown to celebrate Diddy’s new gig as a cover model for this month’s L’Uomo Vogue, we ran into the man himself. Since we’ve always been fans of Diddy’s style, we inquired as to how he would be dressing for the upcoming Halloween holiday. “I’m going to be the Pope,” he told us, stone-faced. We laughed and laughed, but it suddenly became very obvious that he was, in fact, completely serious: “Yes, I already bought the costume,” he said. “The robe and the hat. I got it from a secondhand costume store in Los Angeles.”
YES!! I hope we find some pics of this come next Friday!

Officer Rawse Fesses Up To CO Past
Self-proclaimed “boss”, Miami rapper Rick Ross has admitted he once held down a gig as a correctional officer. After being questioned numerous times, and adamantly denying it, many were still convinced otherwise. Well it turns out that those who DID think it was true…were right.
Ross sat down with a magazine recently and explained himself. He was shown a picture of the CO photo and was asked, point blank, if that was him or not.
“Yes. It’s me.” He also added, “I never tried to hide my past. I put my name inside my cds. My company has my SS#. I could’ve put a company name… I done been up and I done been down and that’s what makes me what I am. I never ratted on a nigga. I never prosecuted a nigga. I never locked up a nigga, that’s first
and foremost. I always felt that me being the nigga that I am, I never owed a nigga an explanation… When I’m making my music and I’m talking about blow, it’s because I did it. When I say that I’m rich off cocaine, it’s because i did it. Those are the street principals that apply.”

Some pre-album release beef with Jigga never hurt nobody!!
Looks like Jayceon is feeling himself a bit now. I don’t take shots at legends. Yea, like we believed you anyways. On 104.7s Chino, The Game goes in a bit on Jay-Z. I think it’s about time Hov puts his name in a song….
I’m too disrespectful for Jay-Z, I go to hard. His beef is mediocre beef, it’s more swag and less hardcore. Me, I go in on your grandma, your kids and your girl….it will get ugly and I don’t mind. I have a whole coast to back me. My coast will turn their backs on whoever I beef with. So basically, let me commit suicide because I’m the only cat to commit suicide and resurrect every time. So for Jay to say that about me, that’s cool man because that’s Jay-Z and I’m jus lil ol Game. But if you fuck with me I’ll turn to a beast, and ill rip ya head off..bust ya lips…turn the Roc-A-Fella sign, into a pee stain…
I can be a fan of Jay and still rip him limb from limb and still be a fan. After I finish him off, I’m still going to listen to reasonable doubt afterwards. I’ll kiss jay goodbye with his own lips. I’m going to make him mad enough to where he has to say something.

Rick Ross - This Is The Life (Feat. Trey Songz)
I’m the biggest COP that you’ve seen thus far!!
Who cares!!Every rapper lies!!Jay-Z still pretends he’s in his 20’s!! Reezy jus come clean brah!!
“My life is 100 percent real. These online hackers putting a picture of my face when I was a teenager in high school on other people’s body. If this shit was real don’t you think they would have more specifics, like dates and everything else? I’m in the entertainment business and a lot of people like to hate because I’m on top of my game. Like I said before my life is 100 percent real.”
“How n—-s get caught with 10 machine guns, only get 12 months?” - 50 Cent
Looks like 50 is trying to drum up further press for the latest g-unit release TOS. The big mouth is going at the King of the South. Here is a quote from the track thats setting it off via miss info:
Off the track “You So Tough” 50 spits:
“Nowaways this rap shit aint adding up. How n—-s get caught with 10 machine guns, only get 12 months?
Oo-weee, don’t talk to me. If you talking to him, you talking to them…
I got the best lawyers that money can buy….they say at best they woulda got me 10 or maybe 9.
I said, how do you explain how the homie breezed? They said, you keep your mouth shut or you eat the cheese.”
Not too subliminal! We’ll see whats next.
Jay Gets His $150 Million Deal
The deal answers a question that had been circling through the rap world for months: Where would Jay-Z take his next corporate role? As part of the arrangement, Live Nation would finance the start-up of a venture that would be an umbrella for his outside projects, which are expected to include his own label, music publishing, and talent consulting and managing. Live Nation is expected to contribute $5 million a year in overhead for five years, with another $25 million available to finance Jay-Z’s acquisitions or investments, according to people in the music industry briefed on the agreement. The venture, to be called Roc Nation, will split profits with Live Nation.
Real Recognize Real
URB caught up with rap legend Nas last week and he was reportedly “smitten” once presented with the Jay Electronica issue. He also confirmed that Jay will appear on his upcoming album as producer and emcee:
URB: What makes Jay so special?
Nas: “He does him man. I thought that when you get into something you get into it because you want to represent and do it to the fullest, regardless if you getting the credit or not. I hear people that think they not getting the respect they think they deserve, complaining to people because they not on top. Or blamin’ record companies or blamin’ other rappers they record with. And you know that happens all the time but it’s rare that you see someone that’s not asking for a handout, that’s not looking for a lookout. Someone who came into the business like how I came. I didn’t come in with a platinum, multi-platinum act in the middle of the rap world when it was on top. I had a verse in ‘91 with a fairly underground rap group. And it created my buzz and I had to climb on my own. I would not have accepted me coming into the business any other way. You know? And today people get superstars to endorse them and it got a lot easier and they still complainin’. Somebody like Jay Electronica got their awareness of the same shit, superstars. He’s onto his own thing and that is everything to him. It doesn’t matter if people pay attention today. It doesn’t matter when they get it, but they going to get it.”
URB: And musically?
“He got that shit where, you know, shit just sound like music. And you can hear what he’s saying and when he gets into it he goes all the way into it. He knows there’s an audience out there that can hear what he’s saying and that’s what he’s been with me in the studio, like fuck that, they going to know what you mean, they going to know what you saying.”
Gloria Velez Puts Joe Buddens on BLAST!

They Call me Fat Shady… I’m Back, I’m Back
i’m not one for the gossip stories but this shit too funny… The National Enquirer alleges that “Em has been eating too much Taco Bell and Outback Steakhouse” causing his weight to balloon to 212 lbs… Quote: “Marshall has Taco Bell lunches of burritos and tacos with dessert, then Outback dinners of three filet mignons with all the fixings.” LOL 3 FILETs! Apparently Slim Fast has approached Em about a sponsorship (no seriously)…. He does look bloated in the pic… he also looks wierd as fuck, whats with the hat on a hat look, shit looks demented… One would think with all the money this dude would get a proper chef to make him some healthy foods and live right…
