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.

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.

What the fuck Sean, I demand an explanation. After all that rah-rah you made about the price of jet fuel, you’re using Net Jets?
That’s not sexy.
From the Palm Beach Post
When rap mogul Sean Diddy Combs told the world via video that he quit flying in his private jet because fuel’s too darn expensive, dude forgot to level with his peeps.
There is no private jet!
A thorough review of federal records shows that no plane in this country is registered to a Sean Combs or any of the part-time Miami Beach resident’s numerous companies, including clothier Sean John and his music company, Bad Boy Entertainment.
One private aviation source scoffed: “It’s my jet this, my jet that. I have list of every plane with the name of the owner, and he’s not on it.”

No surprises here, Diddy’s like a politician when it comes to PR
BUT THERE’S MORE!
This has been on Youtube for a few hours, but it was definitely uploaded after the Palm Beach Post revealed yesterday that Diddy uses a Net Jets share rather than his own personal plane. He doesn’t address the article so either he didn’t see it, or he’s going to use the Officer Ross strategy and hope it goes away.
Ice T had some choice words for Soulja Boy in a recent interview:
“Fuck Soulja Boy! Eat a dick! This nigga single handedly killed Hip Hop.”
“That shit is such garbage man,”Ice-T continues to snarl. “We came all the way from Rakim, we came all the way from Das EFX, we came all the way from motherfuckers flowing like Big Daddy Kane and Ice Cube, and you come with that Superman shit? That shit is garbage.”
“Hurricane (Chris) take them fucking beads out of your hair nigga! Man up. You niggas is making me feel real fucking mad about this shit.”
In the kids defense I gotta lay the blame on Collipark for making hip-hop into kids music… Soulja’s just trying to make some chedda but its Collipark who decided this kid was fit to enter the arena. This is the same guy who brought us the Ying Yang twins…. so i’ll say this… FUCK MR. COLLIPARK!
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.
hhhmmmm…. she paints a pretty picture lol.. sounds like a brooding, childish, passive aggressive, woman beating, premature ejaculator… lmfao. digital storage of media is a priceless addition in this era.
“On Friday Feb 29 in North Corolina, Papoose, Cassidy, Fat Joe, Gucci Mane, Yo Gotti, and Fabolous were booked to perform at The Criquet Arena. Before the show could go on, the Main Event happened earlier at The Holiday Inn Hotel in North Carolina, where the rappers had been staying at. Sources from Cassidy’s crew tell us that Cassidy had asked Papoose to come to his room so they could talk. Papoose eventually came to his room and while the two rappers were talking, all of the sudden Fat Joe and 9 Members of his Entourage storm right into Cassidy’s room. Fat Joe suddenly starts yelling at Papoose, “You Got A Problem With Me?” and Papoose replied, “No, do you have a problem?” When Fat Joe responds ” yeah, I got a problem with you,” thats when Papoose swung at Fat Joe, punching him in the face twice. Before you knew it all hell broke loose. Sources tell us that Fat Joe and his crew rushed the rapper and Hotel security had to seperate the fight before Law Enforcement could get to the Hotel….”
Here’s the interview that started the fight… haven’t listened 2 it yet. The Papoose stuff is on part 2:

I think the frenzy is getting to a fever pitch! Rumor has is Jay-Z will be calling his next album Boss Hova. Now, from what I have been told that’s the name of the album for now, but he’s also considering several other names too. That’s the name of the month. Anyway, I’m not sure when Jay-Z plans to release it, but I am hearing some interesting things. I heard that Jay intends to adopt a more retro feel that will remind fans of the Golden Era of Roc-A-Fella. I heard that he’s got a song with Beanie Sigel and Bleek that is already finished. I don’t know how far he’s in, but fans can expect production from lil’ bro Kanye, Just Blaze, 9th Wonder, and DJ Toomp (my fave producer of the moment). We know Jay didn’t leave, but I heard he’s coming back.
