The Outlawz Say They Are "Greatest Rap Group To Do It"

Constantly referred to as the protégé's of late rapper Tupac and repeatedly outshined by the late rapper's huge celebrity, The Outlawz know all to well that credit isn't always given where it's due.

With their latest album We Want In The Outlawz are ready to prove themselves to the world.

"We not getting our credit right now," EDI explained to HipHopDX.com. "Because we came up under Tupac he was such a bright star, but I feel that people overlooked the bright stars that were around him. In the end, we will go down as the greatest rap group ever to do this"

Formed by Tupac in 1995, The Outlawz consist of E.D.I. Mean, Young Noble, Kastro and Stormey; the New Jersey quartet has been featured on albums such as Better Days, All Eyez On Me, and Makeveli.

The video for The Outlawz' title track off the new album "We Want In" is already being circulated on the internet and they couldn't be more satisfied with the results of their project.

"'We Want In' the title track of the album is a statement. It says that we are long overdue. We've been on over 100 songs with Pac...and we want shine," Outlawz member Noble told HipHopDX.com. "This project will definitely kick some doors open. The streets can't understand why we haven't been signed to a major label. They love us 'cause we make substance music that is real. We feel like we are better than we have ever been on this project."

The Outlawz latest album We Want In will be released on August 5 in the United States, the UK, Japan, New Zealand and South Africa. Following the release of We Want In, The Outlawz will hit the road for the Tupac Still Breathin Tour (tour dates yet to be released).

Cash Money Records' CEO rapper Bryan "Birdman" Williams pleaded not guilty to possession of marijuana charges during a preliminary hearing yesterday (July 29) in Kingsport, Tennessee.

Williams and 15 others were charged with possession of marijuana after police stopped his RV last November on Interstate 81 for making an improper lane change, forcing a tractor trailer in the emergency lane.

A search of the vehicle allegedly found a pound of marijuana in the RV the trash, as well as a number of weapons.

Williams, his brother Ronald "Slim" Williams, 18 years of age and 13 other people were charged with possession of more than ½ of marijuana.

In subsequent interviews after his arrest, Williams, who was on the road promoting his album 5 Star G, admitted to possession of marijuana, but denied possessing a pound.

Yesterday, three group members also charged with possession of marijuana failed to appear in court and bank quickly issued orders for his arrest.

Williams and the group is scheduled to go to trial in October.

Trina In Accident In Belize

Rapper Trina was involved in a car accident 2 nights (July 25) in Belize.

The pair were in the country for a Hip-Hop peace rally and charity basketball game.

According to reports, shortly after arriving at the airport, Trina and Kenyon Martin were involved in a serious accident.

Trina and Martin were traveling with a police motorcade in a Ford Excursion on Northern Highway, when a minivan struck the side of the SUV.

Both Trina and Martin were in the backseat of the SUV when the accident occurred and escaped injuries.

"Trina was in a small fender bender in Belize, yesterday on her way from the airport to a charity basketball event this weekend," Trina's publicist Krystle Coleman told AllHipHop.com in an exclusive statement. "She is currently fine, and 'extremely thankful' that no one was hurt in the small car accident. She is looking forward to the rest of her weekend on vacation and thankful for everyone's safety."

The driver of the minivan, George Abraham, suffered minor injuries but his 12 and nine year- old-sons sustained injuries more severe.

In an interview after the accident with Belize's Local 7 News, Abraham accused Trina and Martin's driver of being in the wrong.

“I was on my right hand side and this vehicle overtake on this side," Abraham said. "That guy was in the wrong in that vehicle. I was on my correct hand. 'Ahh my shoulder.'”

Other witnesses said the police motorcade was so large, that oncoming traffic was forced to swerve to the sides on a narrow stretch of the road.

“Bringing in such a huge figure within the NBA, we thought that it would just add some level of our thoughts and what it meant having them coming into our country and we wanted to show them with humbleness what it is that it means to us as Belizeans and also – everybody’s been expecting them,” organizer Diane Finnegan told Local 7 News.

Police are investigating the accident, as well as if the motorcade for Trina and Kenyon Martin was officially sanctioned.

Diddy Reveals Masterplan For TV

Building on his already lucrative portfolio of reality show brands, mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has announced the launch of his new VH1 show, I Want to Work for Diddy.

The first hour long episode is set to premier August 4 at 9:00 pm and will follow 13 aspiring assistants as they struggle through a myriad of emotional, mental, and physical challenges, for the opportunity to work directly under Diddy.

The applicant’s work will be narrowed down by a panel of judges: Warner Music VP Kevin Liles, Sean John Marketing Director and former Diddy assistant Capricorn Clark, and Island Def Jam Chief of Staff Phil Robinson.

“This is an overall plan of mine I’ve had for the past year to take over the airwaves,” Diddy revealed to AllHipHop.com. “For the month of August I have three shows on the air. On Monday you have I Want to Work for Diddy, Tuesday you have Run’s House, and Wednesday you got Making the Band. So every time you turn on VH1 or MTV you’ll see the Bad Boy logo or hear the music. It’s a lot of real estate and brand marketing that I’m experimenting with along with the creative content that I’ve put together.”

Even with the large amount of airtime, Diddy is not worried about overkill or monotony, since each show remains distinct and showcases positive images of successful young African-American’s and Latinos.

And as a pioneer in reality TV shows focused on African-Americans, Diddy feels an obligation to show his community how to empower themselves.

“It’s a lot of African-American talent that’s on the shows,” Diddy beamed. “I’m very proud of that and to add color to MTV, VH1, and Viacom. It’s [about] the positive messages but making them all distinct. It’s about us being able to empower ourselves, not asking for any handouts. You see that on Run’s House where the children are starting their own businesses. With Making the Band we’ve taking the show on the road for the first time. You’ll be able to see the competitive nature between the groups in different cities. And I Want to Work for Diddy is about following your dreams no matter where you come from.”
Run’s House is in its fifth season and airs Wednesdays at 10pm on MTV.

Battle Rapper Who Killed Competitor On Stage Sentenced To 30 Years For Murder

An up-and-coming emcee from Texas has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for killing his competitor in a rap battle.

According to the Fort Worth Star Telegram, Samuel Raynard Jones pleaded guilty 2 days ago (July 23) to fatally shooting 17 year-old Christopher Smith in September 2006. The death became the outcome of a rap face off between the two.

Both individuals exchanged battle rhymes until Jones drew a handgun. Smith allegedly suggested having a physical fistfight, but after a short wrestling match, friends began pulling them apart when Jones began to choke him.

As Smith prepared to leave the scene, Jones shot him directly in the head.

Around the time of the incident, Jones was on probation for drug and deadly conduct charges. This resulted in the aspiring rapper being sentenced to five years in prison for a probation violation on the deadly conduct charge and an additional 10 years for probation violation on the drug possession charge.

The Game Clears Up Eminem/Proof "Diss"

The recently leaked Game song featuring Lil Wayne titled "My Life" is already making waves on the internet. But it is not because of the obvious two top tier emcees on the song. The issue at hand is the version that leaked onto the net with Game spitting the following lines:

"You see them 24’s spinning, I earned ‘em/and all the pictures of me and Em, I burned ‘em/ so there ain’t no proof that I ever walked through 8 Mile/and since there’s no Proof, I’ll never walk through 8 Mile"

Moments after the version leaked and began to spread, another version of the song - which is the album version according to an Interscope representative - hit the net without the controversial lines. Along with that came a statement from Game clearing up the lyrics.

"When I originally wrote the song 'My Life' I was trying to think back on events that affected my life and how they changed me," Game says. "When I first got signed to Aftermath and G-Unit I was exposed to so many different people from Dre to Em to 50 to Proof. I always identified with Proof. We were always cool and he would reach out to me when ever I was going through something."

Game goes on to explain how the song was not meant to be offensive by any means and was clearly taken out of context.

"I remember when Proof died vividly and now every time I think about going to Detroit I get depressed. That is what I was trying to say in that verse and the more I looked at I realized that people would take it the wrong way…the way they are taking it now that it leaked. So I decided to change it so that this bullshit wouldn't happen and now it's happened anyway," he continued.

In the end, Game apologizes for that version of the song even being heard by the masses.

"For the record, this is not the version on my album, this is not the version that radio will get and this is not the version that I just shot the video to. Furthermore, I apologize to anyone who took this the wrong way as that was never my intention."

The Game Speaks On Possible TV Career

The Game has apparently been swamped with TV and radio offers, pending his retirement after the release of his third album, L.A.X.

The rapper, who has repeatedly stated that his next album would be his last, says that he wants to spend more time with family and go into other business ventures.

"I’ve had several offers. I think, at the end of the day, I’ll end up in radio or TV doing something. Wherever it is I’ll be doing the best I can," said Game.

Not included in those plans, however, is a potential reality show about him and his family. "I don’t wanna bring my family out into the world. Celebrity is hard and if you’ve got a weak stomach, you can’t handle it, man. It’ll break you down."

"I’ll leave my family where they’re at, safe and far away from harm and all the bulls**t that this industry brings, and I’ll focus on myself and making as much money as I can so I can secure the future of my family forever."

50 Cent Follows Through With Taco Bell Lawsuit

G-Unit frontman 50 Cent’s dislike of Taco Bell entered a new phase with a new lawsuit against the fast food giant.

According to Reuters, the suit was filed Wednesday (July 23) in Manhattan federal court.

50 Cent (born Curtis Jackson) accuses Taco Bell of "diluting the value of his good name" as well as employing a guerrilla advertising campaign to fool consumers into thinking he had endorsed the restaurant chain.

"Without seeking or obtaining Jackson's authorization, defendant Taco Bell made him the star and focus of its nation-wide advertising campaign by using his name, persona and trademark to promote Taco Bell's business and products," according to court papers.

The lawsuit is the latest chapter involving Jackson and Taco Bell.

In June, the Mexican-style fast food chain sent what the suit called a disseminating letter to the rapper, asking him to help promote its Hip-Hop-themed "79-89-99 Cent Why Pay More" ad campaign by changing his name to "79 Cent," "89 Cent" or "99 Cent."

The request did not sit well with Jackson, whose representative labeled the letter as "a sleazy and ill-conceived publicity stunt by Taco Bell's president, Greg Creed."

"When my legal team is finished with them, Taco Bell is going to have a new corporate slogan: 'We messed with the bull and got the horns,'" Jackson told AllHipHop.com last month in a statement.

The rapper’s suit further accuses Taco Bell of using Jackson’s rap alias for the promotion without his permission as well as avoiding the multimillion dollar fee the rapper might have charged to use his name.

In addition, allegations in the lawsuit note how Taco Bell’s letter was sent to Jackson after it was circulated to reporters.

"As Taco Bell intended, many customers believed that 50 Cent had agreed to endorse Taco Bell's products. Indeed, postings on numerous Internet 'blogs' castigated 50 Cent for 'selling out' by his apparent endorsement of Taco Bell," the lawsuit stated.

Dr. Dre Says Detox is Coming This Winter

While out making the rounds to promote his new $400 headphones, Dr. Dre is also making renewed promises about Detox.

He tells USA Today:

“I’m just now — over the last couple of months — starting to feel that it’s going to be right and it’s something I can be proud of, and everybody is going to love it,” says Dr. Dre (aka Andre Young). “In a perfect world, I’m shooting for a November or December release.”

Kid Rock & Eminem Offered $1 Million To Battle

Rocker Kid Rock and rapper Eminem have been offered one million dollars to perform at a rap battle in Detroit by the producers of the upcoming documentary Rap Therapy.

The winner of the battle will be given one million dollars to be donated to the charity of their choice.

"It will be a televised rap battle and the winner will pick up GBP 500,000 for the charity of his choice," Black Le Vine, the rap therapist explained.

There is still no word yet on if the two have accepted the offer or not.

Rap Therapy will feature appearances by 50 Cent, P Diddy, Tom Cruise, and others; the documentary will focus on the use of Hip-Hop as a tool for helping combat abuse and gang violence.

Rick Ross Employment As C.O. Confirmed

The questions over Rick Ross’ previous employment status has seemingly been answered by website TheSmokingGun.com, which released records showing the Miami rapper was at one time a corrections officer.

Ross, born William Roberts, is known for his gritty tales of drug dealing and the street life, but he also apparently graduated from the Florida Department of Corrections (DoC) training academy.

The rapper's social security number matches that of a William Roberts, who was assigned to the South Florida Reception Center in Dade County.

The 32-year-old rapper was appointed a prison guard in December of 1995 at the tender age of 19. He left the job in 1997.

In a previous statement Ross denied the allegations and labeled pictures of him in a correctional officer’s uniform were fraudulent.

"My life is 100% real," Ross told in a previous statement regarding the photo. "These online hackers putting a picture of my face when I was a teenager in high school on other peoples' body. If this s**t was real don't you think they would have more specifics, like dates and everything? I'm in the entertainment business and a lot of people who like to hate because I'm on top of my game. Like I said before my life is 100% real. I live by this die by this. Fake pictures are created by the fake, meant to entertain the fake."

The woman identified in the pictures shaking hands with Ross is Marta Villacort, who was head of the South Florida Reception Center.

At press time, Rick Ross was unavailable for a comment on the prison report.

DJ K-Swift Dies In Baltimore

Popular female DJ K-Swift died this morning (July 21) in a swimming pool accident in her hometown of Baltimore, Maryland.

K-Swift, born Khia Edgerton, was just 28-years-old, at the time of her death, although she started DJ’ing at the age of 11, due to the influence of other pioneering DJ’s like Cocoa Channel and Jazzy Joyce.

K-Swift broke ground on Baltimore’s Radio One station 92Q Jams, where she rose to Female Mix Show Coordinator and was the only female in the country to hold the title.

She was also a member of the Violator-All Star DJ Coalition, as well as a member of the all female squad the Murda Mami’s.

"I'm at a loss for words right now,” Murda Mami founder 1st Lady El told us. “K-Swift was not only one of my Murda Mami sisters, she was a great friend. She knocked down doors for women in this industry, so humble and hard working. Legendary in the club music scene and the number one DJ in Baltimore. She will be missed."

In addition to being the only female record pool director in Baltimore (Direct Drive Record Pool), K-Swift also owned Club Queen Entertainment, a graphics management and production company.

Details on her death will be released shortly.

Lil Scrappy Free on Bond After Stabbing

Atlanta rapper Lil Scrappy was freed yesterday (July 20) on a $1,500 bond after being stabbed and arrested on July 18.

According to Officer Marcus Hodge and the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the stabbing resulted from a domestic dispute involving Scrappy and his sister’s boyfriend in Dekalb County.

Scrappy’s sister allegedly called her sibling to her apartment on North Hairston Road due to an intense argument with her significant other.

Upon his arrival, Scrappy was stabbed in an ensuing scuffle, but did not suffer any serious internal injuries.

Despite being assaulted, Scrappy was charged with felony use of a weapon in the commission of a crime and felony marijuana possession.

The arrest was made after a search of the rapper’s vehicle.

In addition, Scrappy must contend with one count of police battery and misdemeanor obstruction of police officers.

While his role in the altercation has not been specified by police, the sister’s boyfriend was not charged with a crime.

Lil Scrappy celebrated the independent release of Prince of the South in May 2008. His third album, Grustle, is scheduled for release on December 5.

As press time, Scrappy and his management have declined to comment on the case.

DMX has been arrested and slapped with a felony charge of taking the identity of another at a Phoenix mall.

Details were not readily available at press time.
DMX, real name Earl Simmons, was booked at the Maricopa County jail.

Phoenix police Sgt. Andy Hill did not offer additional information, but did state that the arrest originated from the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office case, the Associated Press reports.

The Maricopa County Sheriff did not return request for comment.

Prior to that, he was arrested in Miami for allegedly attempting to purchase cocaine and marijuana.

Trick Daddy, Rick Ross Celebrate Miami

Miami rap stars Trick Daddy and Rick Ross will be among the stars celebrating the city’s growing entertainment scene at this year’s Miami Stand Up.

The event is set to kick off at 11 p.m. Sunday (July 20) with red carpet arrivals at the Mansion nightclub in Miami Beach.

Special performances will follow the 11:45 p.m. arrivals at 1 a.m.

Hosted by actress Gabrielle Union and model Deelishis, Miami Stand Up will cap off a weekend of events that include a private yacht and bowling party.

"Miami is looking real good right now and we're going to have a good time this weekend," Trick Daddy stated.

Other celebrities set to attend the event include Minnesota Vikings lineman Bryant "Big Mac" McKinnie and former Pretty Ricky member Pleasure P -who serve as co-CEOs of Swagga Entertainment - rap diva Trina, DJ Khaled and Dunk Ryders.

For McKinnie, the success of entertainers like Rick Ross and Trina further add to the event’s festive atmosphere.

Ross' latest album Trilla debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart while Trina garnered success on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart with a number one debut of her latest release Still da Baddest.

While the event is supposed to be a peaceful, tensions between Trick Daddy and Rick Ross remain high, due to rumors that Trick Daddy allegedly claimed that Ross was once a prison guard.

Death Row Owners Respond To $25 Million Lawsuit

After completing a $24 million dollar acquisition of Death Row Records, Global Music Group was hit with a $25 million dollar lawsuit from venture capitalist Ron Goldberg, who claimed to have been illegally cut out of the deal by his partners.

In an exclusive statement to AllHipHop.com, the Global Music group disclosed their stance on the lawsuit and the details of the acquisition.

“We represent Global Music Group, Inc, a New York Corporation which was the successful bidder at the auction of the assets of the bankruptcy estates of Death Row Records, Inc., and Marion Knight, Jr,” explained Roger Muse, a partner at the Beverly Hills business and entertainment law firm of Muse Methany. “My client and its principals put up all the money necessary to make the bid and were successfully present at the Bankruptcy auction to make that successful bid.”

Muse also states that Ron Goldberg was never a member of Global Music Group, or recruited investors for the company as he alleges in his lawsuit.

“Mr. Goldberg is not a principal of Global Music Group Inc., a New York corporation, nor does he have any ownership in that company or in its assets, including the Death Row assets subject to the company’s court-approved bid,” Muse explicates. “Mr. Goldberg has apparently filed a Delaware corporation under the same name of my client; but of course anyone can file a corporation in any state under any name as long as the name is not then in use in that state by another corporation. Mr. Goldberg’s claim that it is his Delaware Global Music Group was the ‘true’ bidder of the bankruptcy assets simply has no merit.”

Goldberg’s lawsuit, filed in Superior Court, claims that the investors he recruited conspired with Global Music Group vice president Anthony Marotta to use “confidential know-how, data, techniques, and contacts” to secure the bid without his consent.

Among the investors he claimed to have recruited are president Susan Berg and Reggie Bush of RSB Investment Strategies.

Global Music Group secured the winning $24 million dollar bid for Death Row Records in June 24.

The deal was confirmed as finalized today in a statement released by Global Music Group.

Lupe Fiasco Gets Down With Coca-Cola On Tour

Soft-drink giant Coca-Cola has released a statement announcing a six-city, invitation only tour featuring Grammy award-winning artist Lupe Fiasco.

The “Coca-Cola Refresh Your Flow Tour,” which is aimed at teens ages 13-17, kicked off last night (July 17) at the Avalon in Hollywood.

The other dates are: The Electric Factory (Philadelphia, August 3), The Tabernacle (Atlanta, August 8), Park West (Chicago, August 17), LOVE (Washington DC, August 21) and the Filmore at Irving Plaza (New York City, August 29).

Yolanda White, assistant VP of African American Marketing at Coca-Cola, expressed excitement about the unique concert experience Fiasco and Coca-Cola have planned for their young audiences.

“Not only will each concert offer the teens an unforgettable musical experience, it will give each of them a taste of the Coke Side of Life-a moment in time that is refreshingly optimistic and uplifting,” White expressed to AllHipHop.com in a statement. And, by engaging an artist like Lupe Fiasco, they will be encouraged to live on the positive side of life.”

Tickets to the shows are free. However, they can only be obtained through partnering radio stations, retail outlets, and Coca-Cola street teams who will be frequenting teen “hot spots” in the tour cities.

Radio stations offering free tickets include: Power 106 (Los Angeles), Power 99 (Philadelphia), Hot 107.9 (Atlanta), WGCI (Chicago), WPGC Jams (Washington DC), and Hot 97 (New York City).

Also, select Boy and Girls clubs in those areas will receive tickets that allow deserving teen members to meet Lupe and attend the concert as VIPs.

Taking his status as role model very seriously, Fiasco hopes to inspire all his young fans who attend.

“I am looking forward to the ‘Coca-Cola Refresh Your Flow Tour.’ It’s a unique opportunity for me to bring a message of positivity and what it really means to be cool,” Lupe revealed. “I hope it will be an unforgettable experience for every teen who attends.”

Lupe Fiasco’s latest album, The Cool, was released in December 2007 and has been certified gold.

Eminem Returns To The Studio

It’s no secret that Eminem has been avoiding the limelight for some time now. In 2008, he sits four years away from his last solo effort Encore, and is two years removed from the fatal night that saw the tragic death of his best friend and fellow D12 member Proof.

However, Em may finally be ready for the stage again as Entertainment Weekly caught word from Bishop Lamont that Eminem has recently been in the studio, and that he’s heard “some amazing stuff.”

A fellow member of the Aftermath camp, Bishop Lamont has been around Eminem long enough to understand the situation at hand. “He's been quiet too long, and he's got a lot to get off his chest,” stated Lamont, referring to Proof and other incidents that have occurred in the last four years.

Knowing that Eminem faced many struggles and adversities to get to this point though, Lamont appropriately described the process that has manifested within Em. “He went through what he had to go through, and now he's been able to take all the pain and stress and put it out in his music.”

To reiterate Lamont, the label (Aftermath/Shady) also confirmed that Eminem has indeed been in the studio.

Keak da Sneak Arrested

Allhiphop.com has confirmed that Bay Area rapper Keak Da Sneak was arrested on July 10 and charged with four felony counts.

The arrest occurred around 11 PM in Sacramento, a few hours after Keak had attended a funeral. The apprehension left the Hyphy pioneer with unspecified injuries which he was treated for. Afterward, he was booked on firearms charges and resisting arrest.

Keak remained detained over the past weekend due to a separate outstanding warrant. A Justice Department statement confirmed he appeared before a magistrate judge on Monday July 14. At press time, Keak is scheduled to post bail and be released in the next few days.

A Bay Area veteran and favorite, Keak began his career in 1994 appearing on C-Bo’s 1994 EP The Autopsy. He would gain his first mainstream exposure in 1997 as a member of 3XKrazy, with their single “Keep It On the Real.”

As a solo artist, Keak’s biggest moment came in 2006 with his appearance on E-40’s “Tell Me When to Go,” which sparked a short national interest in Hyphy music.

His latest album, Deified, was released on June 10 through Koch Records. The album features appearances from Prodigy, Alchemist, Too Short, Celly Cel, Lil Keke, and Daz.

Gza To Release A Diss Song Against 50 Cent

According to Miss Info:

Vik from LoveSoul.Tv over in the UK sent over this conversation they had with GZA. Apparently, GZA will be addressing last year’s weird verbal spar with 50 Cent on a new record tomorrow…..

“Last night I was out having a drink with GZA from the Wu-Tang Clan, after the 2nd London show this week. We were talking about anything and everything to do with hip-hop and the Ice-T / Soulja Boy debacle came up, as did the incident in Dec 2007 at Coko in London when a young fan took the mic and screamed “f–k 50 Cent” which the media gave the Genius credit for.

Although there wasn’t tonnes of bad blood, 50 did retort, and now GZA is picking up the hatchet. The Wu-Tang’s head henchman asked if I remembered the Jadakiss diss to 50 (which one??), I said ‘yes’ and he said ‘it’s like that… times ten… I’m going to annihilate 50, he can’t f–k with me lyrically’. I asked if it was the kind of record that would end 50’s career, and he said 50’s career is dead anyway, stating that the recent 100k soundscan for G-Unit’s ‘Terminate on Sight’ album would be a good for amount for a GZA album, but is garbage for one of 50’s.”

hmm, interesting. GZA says the song “Paper Plates” will be debuting on Pitchfork Media tomorrow.

Bow Wow Quarrels With Omarion On New Record

Fans of Omarion and Bow Wow were pleased to hear the duo would record an album with Face Off. However, now it seems fans have had to witness the two face off in a different way. According to some, it appears Bow Wow and Omarion may have some tension. Bow Wow spoke on the subject recently. He also opened up about his position in the game, his latest single and an upcoming collaboration that will pair him up with another young star.

To poke fun at Omarion's style, Bow Wow chooses to dis another person for wearing tight jeans.

"Damn, them is tight, you's a O, Omarion-lookin' boy," he rhymes in the song "Lookin' Boy." At the end of the track, Bow Wow, presumably speaking to Omarion, adds "I didn't know me and you was gonna be going at it. I was just having fun."

Still, Bow went on to explain, he was only joking with the track, equating his rhyme to school yard taunts.

"I was talking to Yung Joc the other day; we was laughing about it. I said, 'I can't believe out of all the names y'all say, nobody says nothing. I get one line, I got everybody's attention. I'm on every website.' People always hate on me, but they're always in tune to what I'm doing. In a way, I get the last laugh. At the end of the day, the song is a joke record. It's about your boys and you all jawning on each other. Can't nobody tell me they ain't never went to school and said, 'Your mama this, your mama that,' knowing they ain't mean it," he told MTV.

"O is my homeboy, and I even joke with O about how tight he wears his jeans. He knows how tight his jeans are. That's my homeboy. Everybody knows how tight Omarion wears his pants. It's not a secret. So why is everybody jumping on me? It's a fact. Plus, it's a joke. So why wouldn't I joke on my homeboy?"

So, what about the end of that record?

"At the end, I know everybody thinks I was dissin', because I say, 'I didn't know we was going at each other.' One of my homeboys got on the record with me. When I wrote my verse, I didn't write about my homeboy, but my homeboy wrote about the entire crew, so I was shocked. I was telling my homeboy, 'Dang, dog, I didn't know you was going at me.' Everybody assumed I was going at Omarion, but I was talking about one of my best friends who was on the song with me. So, nah, it's not a dis. I know it's a recession and everybody is uptight, but damn! I wouldn't do that."

Bow also noted that he and another young rapper, Soulja Boy have been collabing.

"Me and Soulja Boy have been going in. We're trying to put together this mixtape. We're gonna give the people what they ask for. Next thing you know, they gonna ask me and Soulja Boy Tell'em to do an album together. Everybody is always picking on us anyway. We might just go 'head and kill the game and shit on all these niggas. Do a mixtape album together, put it out and go hard!"

To start off their collaborative efforts, "Marco Polo" is going to hit radio and video markets soon as Bow's latest single featuring Soulja Boy.

"I'm back stronger than ever and different. 'Marco Polo' is gonna be a hit record. It's an undeniable hit record. I had to get one of those silly records. Soulja Boy laced me. His beats knock! If you need one of the hard club bangers to get the crowd poppin' ... a good, snap, ghetto-ass beat, then Soulja Boy is the one. You need to come to Atlanta and get you one. His beats is ridin'. Then we did this other song called 'Get Money.' All the hate is doing is motivating him. He's getting better, perfecting his craft."

With all of this, Bow also spoke on his position in the rap game.

"I'm stuck in between old school and new school. Because I'm 21 years old, I'm classified in the lightweight division of Hip Hop. I look at Hip Hop as having a lightweight, middleweight and a heavyweight division. It's kinda hard for me, because I'm old but new at the same time. It makes my job harder because I gotta keep up. I gotta do the things Snoop would do every time he drops an album. You gotta give them something different. With this album, I get to bring the acting side of Bow in with the rap side of Bow Wow. It's being displayed in the 'Marco Polo' video. People not even gonna know it's me. Then I got a song called 'Where the Big Girls' for the big girls. The video comes in at the end of the 'Marco Polo' video. You're gonna see me in the video with a big girl. She's doing her thing, working it out, and I'm working it out with her."

He has a lot more on the way. Aside from a major tour, he also has two volumes of Half Man, Half Dog, a mixtape series. He's also prepping a late 2008 release for Pedigree, his latest LP which already features Soulja Boy, DJ Khaled, Lil Wayne, T.I., Swizz Beatz and T-Pain with more collaborations on the way.

Nas Reveals His Feelings About Mobb Deep & 50 Cent

King Magazine recently released some lost excerpts of their interview with Nas. While most of it had to do with Nas discussing his early years in Hip Hop, one question and accusation proved to be a bit eyebrow raising.

"I ran into Prodigy last week and asked him, 'What should I ask Nas?' He said, 'Ask him, ‘What happened backstage at the Central Park show in 2004,’” Thomas Golianopoulos inquired.

“Man, that was some classic Mobb Deep shit. They was rumbling,” Nas replied regarding a fight that took place backstage between Mobb Deep and others. But Prodigy thinks that those involved were Nas’ people.

“He thinks you set him up,” Golianopoulos responded.

Nas went on to discuss his relationship with Prodigy and addressed the situation.

“I did hear that. Nah, I would never do that to him,” Nas retorted. “We had our differences, which was really just hyped up bullshit. I wish everything for Prodigy. They caught a lot of bad breaks. I just wish the best for him. I wish he didn’t have to do this time. And I would love to see them come back again. I would be the first person in the record store buying a Mobb album. I want to see them give it to us however many more times.”

Nas also revealed how he felt about Mobb Deep joining G-Unit.

“I was really happy to see 50 embrace them. I thought that was G because that’s something that doesn’t happen from the higher ups. All these big companies, they don’t care about us. They don’t care about the talented ones that aren’t given a fair shot and I thought it was a good move on 50’s part to give them a deal.”

Nas' Untitled drops July 15th.

Rumur: Did Young Buck Attempt Suicide?

Controversial Hip-Hop artist David Darnell Brown also known as Young Buck attempted suicide last night by taking an overdose of prescription pain pills, according to a Nashville Police Department report. A copy of the report is also attached. The former member of the gangster rap group Guerilla Unit, 27, was depressed and told cops that he was trying to harm himself, the report states.
A female companion of the rapper told officers that Brown last week filled a prescription for 40 pain pills, but had only taken five of the pills up to yesterday. Brown told police that he had taken the balance of the pills last night. The woman, who has been identified as Lizzie Grubman, Brown's publicist, also told responding officers (RO/S) that she observed Brown(identified in the report as "comp," or complainant) put two pills in his mouth, which she tried to retrieve by placing her fingers in his mouth.

He was treated at Metro Nashville General Hospital for a drug overdose. While the police document does not name Brown, Nashville media reports (including one from WTVF Channel 5, which broke the Brown story) have identified him as the "victim" referred to in the report. Early this morning, Police reported that Brown had been taken to a hospital emergency room after suffering an adverse reaction to painkillers.

LL Talks Exit 13; Denies Signing To G-Unit

After a 2 year hiatus, veteran LL Cool J is gearing up for the release of Exit 13, his 13th and final LP under his Def Jam recording deal.

Unlike his other albums, the Farmer’s Boulevard legend has worked closely with another Queens native, rapper 50 Cent.

“I did a whole album with 50, I did an album by myself, then I went and did another album by myself,” LL disclosed to AllHipHop.com. “I decided to use like two or three songs from the album I did with 50, one from the second album I did by myself, and the rest is all new material.”

Some have expressed concern that LL may pattern himself after 50’s more successful albums, such a Get Rich or Die Tryin’, a claim the MC quickly denied.

“Watching him work made me hungry again, but it was also important for me to come out with an LL Cool J album that doesn’t sound like I’m trying to be 50 Cent,” LL clarified. “I’m not doing that.”

LL also dismissed rumors that he was attempting to sign to G-Unit over his dissatisfaction with Def Jam’s promotion of his last album.

“There were a lot of, for lack of a better word, doe-does out there that were like ‘LL is going to sign to G-Unit,’” the veteran laughed. “I don’t know what these guys were thinking. Why would I work for 20 years to sign to another artist? I don’t know where the stupidness came from. I don’t think they understand who they’re dealing with and the reason why I’m here.”

LL openly criticized former Def Jam president Jay-Z about his work in promoting rap albums on the label.

Now with a new regime, he feels rap projects including his own, will get the attention they deserve.

“Before Lyor and them left we did a deal and I got my full catalog. LL Cool J owns his whole body of work. I’m very happy about the growth Def Jam has experienced,” he revealed. “Now, do I feel the Hip-Hop side of the music needs more attention? Yes. I think Hip-Hop will be served more now that Shakir Stewart [new Def Jam Executive Vice President] is up there doing what he does. People are excited about Hip-Hop. People are excited about my project and I know it’s going to succeed.”

Exit 13 is set for release on August 26.

The album features production from DJ Scratch, Tricky Stewart, and Raw Uncut.

Guests include KRS-One, Jim Jones, 50 Cent, Lil’ Kim, Trey Songz, The Dream, and Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi.

Three 6 Mafia Disses Kia Shine

Three 6 Mafia recently had a run in with fellow Memphis rapper Kia Shine during an autograph signing session.

In a video that recently surfaced on the Internet, Shine is seen approaching DJ Paul and Juicy J talking about Memphis rappers supporting each other.

After a brief conversation, DJ Paul remarks that Shine didn’t start doing Memphis music until “his other shit didn’t sell.”

The original beef apparently began a couple years ago, when Shine was seen on video talking about Paul and Juicy J not putting other Memphis MCs on.

2008 Best Crying Moments in Hip-hop

2008 Best Crying Moments in Hip-hop by Thisis50 dot com

50's Ex Sues For $50 Million

Paul Catsandonis, lawyer for 50 Cent ex Shaniqua Tompkins, has disclosed that his client is suing the rapper for $50 million dollars in damages resulting from a fire than destroyed the home she was living in.

In May, a suspicious fire destroyed 50’s Long Island property, which the Queens mogul had successfully obtained eviction on for Tompkins.

In the fallout, Tompkins accused 50 of setting the fire himself to avoid having to honor an agreement made between them. She has since filed a restraining order.

“There wasn’t a written contract but an expressed oral agreement, which is recognized in the New York courts,” Catsandonis told The Hudson Reporter. "They decided years ago that she was going to be the domestic partner, and she was going to provide the domestic services while he devoted all his time to becoming a Hip-Hop artist. Whatever profits he was able to achieve would be divided equally, and he had promised her and their son that they could live in the house. He breached that contract.”

In upcoming court proceedings, Catsandonis will argue that the relationship between 50 and Tompkins could be viewed as a common-law marriage.

He plans to set a precedent case in New York for future parties who have legal disputes in these arrangements.

“We are moving into the modern era where people are not getting married anymore but are common law husband and wife,” he explains. Last month, a judge ordered 50 to not sell the fire-destroyed home and barred him from collecting the insurance proceeds until an arson investigation is completed.

Following Tompkins’ $50 million dollar lawsuit, the restraining order, and refusal to let the rapper see his 10 year old son, 50 countered with a $20 million dollar defamation and family court suit.

The NY State Supreme Court will hear arguments on July 15 regarding the insurance proceeds on the destroyed home.

Suffolk County Family Court commences proceedings on July 17 to hear arguments for 50’s visitation rights.

Black Hand/Koch Form Alliance, New Grafh On The Way

Queens, New York-based rapper Grafh is set to reap the benefits of a new deal between his recording home, Black Hand Entertainment and Koch Records.

Grafh's forthcoming album, The Evolution, will be the first project under a new alliance between Williams’ Black Hand Entertainment and Koch.

"Koch Records has been at the forefront of indie music for some time," Black Hand CEO Chaz William told AllHipHop.com. "This is the perfect climate for what we do at Black Hand as an independent movement."

The Koch/Black Hand deal is the latest development in the career of Grafh, who caught the attention of music fans as a fixture on the mixtape scene.

Songs from Grafh, who is also Black Hand Entertainment’s President, have been featured on the small screen on HBO's Entourage, Fox's Method and Red and BET's Ultimate Hustler, as well as various video games, including EA Sport's NFL Streets, Saint's Row and 25 to Life.

Grafh's current single, "Like Ohh” recently hit radio nationwide.

“Like Ohh' is the first in a succession of singles leading up to the release of my first commercial album, The Evolution. It's the perfect summer street record that recognizes the change in the climate of the music industry," Grafh said.

Grafh’s The Evolution is slated to hit stores this fall.

A remix to "Like Ohh" featuring Busta Rhymes is set to arrive at radio outlets in the coming weeks.

Freddie Foxxx Reveals Albums With KRS-One, Pete Rock

As Freddie Foxxx prepares to release his 14 year-old relic Crazy Like A Foxxx on Fat Beats Records later this month, the veteran New York emcee and producer revealed to HipHopDX other projects he plans to release.

"I'm doing my Music From The Man series," Foxxx revealed exclusively to DX recently. "I have albums that are just me and one producer. Everybody from me and [DJ] Premier, Pete [Rock], Clark Kent, Jesse West. I got Kev Brown, Oddisee. I've been recording all these albums. For the last five or six years, I've just been building catalogue. What I decided to, was instead of going to the studio, do an album, drop it, go work the album, I'll forgo that concept, and decided to build my catalogue, knowing that this is an Internet-driven society, musically, at this time." The rapper who sold over 200,000 units of his completely-independent Industry Shakedown release added, "I can create as a feel, but not in a desperation to have something new out at the time. A lot of people drop albums, and they work it, and the music don't last that long right now. I figured, 'Let me drop catalogue.'"

In addition to that, Freddie Foxxx spoke on other projects including his Krupt Mob Motorcycle Music series and Amerikkan Black Man release. "I re-did the album three times now. I got three different versions of Amerikkan Black Man, and they're all albums I can put out, and they'll all go different reactions, because that's such a broad topic." In the studio at the time, Foxxx did not confirm whether he intends to release all or just one version of this highly-anticipated release.

The rapper who is also widely known as Bumpy Knuckles revealed another collaboration project. "I just did an album with KRS-One called Royalty Check. Me and him are going back-to-back on 15 tracks." The duo famously collaborated on "Ruff, Ruff" from Boogie Down Productions' 1992 album Sex and Violence. Foxxx also stated that he was active in working with KRS on the new Stop The Violence album.

In working with other legends, Foxxx's production will appear on four to five songs from DMC's upcoming album as well. He will also appear in a featuring role on that yet-untitled project.

Saying that offers to do feature work are steadily coming in, Freddie Foxxx stated, "People are sending me requests to do collaborations. If the beat is hot, and I really think I can make a difference on a record, I'll jump in. Some people just want my voice on there to give it that edge."

After appearances on Kool G Rap and DJ Polo's "Money In The Bank," Gang Starr's "The Militia" and O.C.'s "M.U.G.," Foxxx has witnessed a plethora of success on other peoples' records in addition to his own. He stated, "You know what I like? People are requesting the Bumpy that they want. Some people are saying, 'I want that hardcore, political Bumpy.' Then some people will say, 'I want the lyrical emcee Freddie Foxxx.' Everybody is sending me tracks to me to rap on. I'm having fun with it. I'm not trying to OD on it, but I'm trying to keep putting stuff out as far as catalogue is concerned."

Crazy Like A Foxxx is in stores July 29.

50 Cent's Biggest Battle

50 Cent is known for being a lot of things in life. He's been known as a thug and is now mostly known as an impressive business man. However, with all of the glamor surrounding his music and movie star lifestyle, little is ever said Fif as a father. Curtis Jackson is now putting that as a priority as he fights to see his eleven year old son Marquis.

"I'm not going through a custody battle; just a transition," 50 told MTV. "I'd like to be able to just see my baby."

While his son has traveled with him on major tours in the past, things have changed and their time together has been taken away.

"In the summertime, for the first two years I was successful, my son has traveled with us on those tours. He was on the Rock the Mic Tour, he was on the Anger Management Tour. This summer, when he's free, it's, like, no communication. It's tough."

That's not the only change in their lives. His mother Shaniqua Tompkins' home was burned down recently. When it happened, she told TMZ she thought it was 50 Cent who burned the home down. Fif denied the allegations.

"I really don't wanna talk about it, because my son at some point will have the opportunity to see the tapes. She's still his mother, and I'm still his father, regardless. He's gonna love both of us," he said.

Still, according to 50, Marquis' relationship with his mother has also changed.

"My relationship with my son is changing because he and his mom aren't friends anymore. There's different channels I have to go through. He has lawyers appointed to him through the court. So I have to talk to his lawyer to get things situated for me to for me to actually get him. The relationship between my wallet and his mom has changed. When people have expensive habits, it's a hell of a transition for them when that money is not there anymore. She said all kind of things about me I never would expect."

This has hurt 50. As he explained, it is the toughest moment he's had to go through.

"I think he doesn't want his mom to feel like he's a traitor," he continued. "The time I spent away is the time he developed this thing he's afraid to break with her. There's nothing you can do about that. This is the toughest [thing I've had to face], because he's my motivation."

Nate Dogg Charged With Multiple Felonies

Hit-making singer Nate Dogg’s legal drama continues to mount as multiple felony charges were made against the entertainer that include stalking his estranged wife.

The rapper was charged with two felony counts related to a June 23 incident in which the crooner allegedly chased his 38-year-old girlfriend down the 405 freeway in Los Angeles while allegedly threatening to kill her.

According to police documents, Nate Dogg, born Nathaniel Dwayne Hale, did "willfully and unlawfully threaten to commit a crime which would result in death and great bodily injury to ‘Latoya C,’ with the specific intent that the statement be taken as a threat."

The felony complaint further noted that ‘Latoya C’ "was reasonably in sustained fear of his/her safety and the safety of his/her immediate family" based upon the nature of the criminal threats.

The third felony charge stemmed from a June 23 incident where Hale allegedly stalked Latoya C "with the intent that she be placed in reasonable fear for her safety and the safety of her immediate family" after the Grammy-nominated crooner made what was described as a "credible threat."

In addition to the felony charges, Hale was cited with a misdemeanor for driving with a suspended license from a prior DUI conviction on the same day as the stalking.

The charge was labeled as the singer’s fourth count in the complaint.

A statement released by the California Highway Patrol revealed that a 911 call was made by a woman identifying herself as the rapper’s wife.

Nate Dogg was arrested after authorities confirmed the woman’s statements and intercepted the vehicles.

He was arrested and later released from the Twin Towers jail in Los Angeles on June 24 after posting a $50,000 bond.
