Less than 24 hours after 50 Cent dropped his "Rick Ross Diss"- which was anything but a subliminal shot! Rick Ross chit chats with Shade 45's Angela Yee.

Part 1


Part 2

Of the two diss records....IN MY OPINION...50 went the hardest. But you be the judge.

Ricki's- Mafia Music


50 Cent- Try Me (Officer Ricky)


So if beef's the biznez, as it is with these two characters, who closed the deal? And what the hell are they "beefing" about??<-rhetorical question, i don't really care!

This weeks Rumorville is very, very interesting! Not to mention JUICY!!
Disclaimer: All of the following are rumors, hearsay, and may or may not be 100% factual.




First off, Kanye' is feeling himself...again! Lastweek, he blasted the media once again exclaiming- "Just Let Me Be Great!" Multiple source, including the New York Daily News, are reporting a false statement which alleges Kanye said he would mind doing Bi-Porn. A statement Kanye says is 100% false and insulting.

This week Kanye put out this video blog and would like to be acknowledged as Martin Louis The King, Jr. Check the vid:


A message from kwest on Vimeo.

“I know I’ve been called the Louis Vuitton Don, I know, I’ve been called a lot of names, uh mostly The Don, the Louis Vuitton Don — due to what happened — when the red shoes hit the runway, I was forced to change my name, to, Martin Louis The King, Jr. Address me as such. And until then, I will be in the building, swagger on a hundred thousand trillion.”

“Overwhelming — I’ve wanted to be a fashion designer my entire life,” West said to the Los Angeles Times after seeing his kicks on the runway. “And to see my stuff in the Vuitton show was something else. It was a dream come true. And the way those guys were styled — they were dressed better than me!”


If you didn't know, Mr. West designed his own shoe for Louie, which premiered last week.

Rumors are flooding the net that NBA Star, Kenyon Martin and his girlfriend/rapper, Trina are officially engaged. The two have been dating about a year or so.

Alicia Keys Homewrecking


Abilities were put on blast. Swizz Beatz ex-wife Mashonda had never really confirmed or denied the rumors of A.Keys destroying her marriage. But in her recent interview on Lip Service, Mashonda opened up.



*******************************************************************************

Speaking Of Homewrecking......Lisa Raye Gave Esscence details on her divorce:

ESSENCE.COM: Many balked at your whirlwind romance and marriage and accused you of being an opportunist. How do you feel about that assessment of your character?
LISARAYE: First of all, I'm a fan of love and partnership. I would say this to my critics: If a man comes to you there obviously has to be a connection. I had a man who's smart and powerful and who I fell in love with. He's embracing my family. Add the fact that I have an opportunity to bring tourism to his country and be involved in something historical. Who in the hell would say no? But what scared me was the idea of being First Lady?
ESSENCE.COM: Bloggers have often said that you're too "ghetto" to be a First Lady. How does that make you feel?
LISARAYE: I am not and never grew up in the ghetto. People need to get it right. I grew up on the Southside of Chicago. What people don't realize is that my father was a multimillionaire who owned 12 hotels, motels, a steel mill, a radio station, a club, nursing home, and a law office. So I think it's safe to say I'm a little above middle class and I'm a daddy's girl. I make no apologies for loving the finer things in life or the men I choose to date. I don't feel bad about the person I am. Now, I do have an edge, rawness and realness, and I can tell you I'm going to keep that. I'm one of those women who's not to be messed with. I'm very opinionated and boisterous at times. I'm also kind and humble. I know when to fold and when to hold and that's important. If my edge scares you, then you have a choice to remove yourself. Other than that, I'm very approachable, and when people meet me they always say, "You are so down to earth and nothing like I thought you were."

ESSENCE.COM: Some people will wonder why you chose to speak out now.
LISARAYE: I could have talked a long time ago and been pouring salt on my husband, but that's not my style. He has enough he's dealing with. I was trying to bow out gracefully, but I couldn't take it any more. I want to let my people who care about me know what's going on. I have never been that type of celebrity where folks are following me and care what's going on in my personal life. Again, I'm doing fine and I'm going to get through this.

In case you don't understand why this is under homewrecking....Lisa caught her husband in the company of Rocsi of 106 & Park, the two were seperated at that time. But shortly after that incident preceded to divorce.

Dancing With The Devil- the Diddy tell-all!

That's right! After years of speculation into the shady business practices of rap mogul, Sean "Diddy" Combs, a former artist, Mark Curry, is releasing a tell all book next month. The book is entitled "Dancing With The Devil- How Puff Burned The Bad Boys Of Hip Hop"

Here are the details:

“Welcome to Bad Boy, where dreams come true,” Sean Combs said as we shook hands over lunch in March 1997. The record producer spent the next hour telling me how impressive my rapping skills were, how soon he planned to release my debut album, and that my personal wealth would soon be in the seven-figure range. Talk about smoke and mirrors.



Today, after years of writing hit records for Combs, I am no closer to having my first album released by Bad Boy Entertainment than I was when we signed the contract. Combs cajoled, hoodwinked and bamboozled me for nearly a decade. In the end, which for me came in 2005, I realized that I had to leave the label and its illusions of wealth in order to save my career, my marriage, my mind and my soul.


Dancing with the Devil reveals startling new details about key events in the fast-paced, controversial, and sometimes deadly world of hip-hop music. In revealing the dark side of the industry, Curry hopes to provide a road map for reforms needed before more artist end up in poverty, in prison, or in the grave.


Let see if the mighty hand that is Diddy will allow his name to be slandered!

Although the allegations aren't suprising, it is quite suprising that someone would actually speak up and get around that good ol "Confidentiality Agreement".....Hmmmm? This is definetly a Must Read.

Twitterquette: When Twitter Goes Wrongs!- Wale

Author: The One // Category:
Add to eVIPList



In my efforts to assist the entire Hip Hop Nation to gravitate towards Twitter, I forgot to issue twitter etiquette. And due to my forgetfulness, an up and coming artist has been caught in the cross- DC's own, Wale.

Twitter is a free social messaging utility for staying connected in real-time. <-That's there definition. For me Twitter is a way of thinking out loud with the world, or a select few, watching. It is the answer to the question- What are you doing? However, in the wrong hands your random thoughts on a public platform can be a bad idea, as Wale learned.

I'm going to set the tone for us, so I won't be seen as bias. Imagine your a new artist- you've toured over seas, have a publicist on both coast, and have been flooded with interviews recently. Some redundant and some refreshingly entertaining but at any rate because you have done this so much it becomes more like a job to you.
Now your preparing for your 9th interview of the day- what do you do? DUH!!! Twit your thoughts! And that's exactly what Wale did before his interview with well known UK Disc Jockey, DJ Semtex.



The only problem was- DJ Semtex was following Wale on twitter, so he received the twit before the interview!
(In Martin's Voice)Damn! Damn! Damn Gena!
Which resulted in a bunch of twitter chaos, a less than stellar interview, and an article on Semtex's personal blog.

For you Wale, my friend, I am re-issuing the Twitterquette= etiquette + Twitter!
(And I tweaked it because it was rather lame)



1. Never send more than 140 characters.

2. Never Tweet more than five times a day. First, a “Tweet” is a Twitter message

3. Never follow more than 300 people. Why is this a rule? Because if you follow 5,700 people, like I do, then you’ll be tempted to answer lots of those Tweets, which will put you in danger of breaking #2.

4. Never follow anyone who isn’t your “real” friend. This will help you keep your friends’ list down to less than 300, which will keep you from breaking rule #2.

5. Don’t assume other people are having the same experience you are. My experience with Twitter? I get 20 new Tweets inbound EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY. It’s like a 24/7 chat room for me. But for you? Most of you only follow 30 people, so to you it’s more akin to instant messaging with just your friends. If you subscribe to a noisy jerk, like me, you’ll get overrun. Me? I just tell my friends who complain that they don’t have enough friends. :-)

6. Don’t post thoughts across multiple Tweets (see #1).

7. The Twitter question is “what are we doing?” It’s NOT “what do you think about XXXX?”

8. Follow one person for every 10 who follows you.

9. If other people are telling you you’re spamming, you should listen to them. Me? I tell them to screw off. Why? Because if I’m being too noisy then there’s a little button called “unfollow.”

10. Don’t put things on Twitter that you don't want the world to know!

SOURCE

As you can see new best friend, Wale, you broke several rules of the Twitterquette- as we all do- but your in the limelight, so it matters. And don't worry buddy, not only will I post this on this blog but the other sites I write for as well- just so others won't make the same mistake!

O'Reilly Knocks M.P.I.B Remix

As pride emerged from nearly every Obama supporter, Rappers Jay-Z & Young Jeezy expressed theirs in a performance Sunday night that quickly flooded the internet in days following. CNN Correspondent, Bill O'Reilly is less than flattered by the remix to the hood anthem- My President Is Black.

Apparently, he nor Mr. Miller voted for Barack. Nor did they grow up black in America. According to Bill O'Reilly nobody cares about these two. Just listen to these foegies rant, praise Bush, and slander Jay-Z and Jeezy.



Dear Mr. O'Reilly,

You and Mr. Miller can kiss my grits. You both are clearly not intouch with reality. The administration you praise, not only, caused pain and suffering amongst the black community, but the whole country. So I agree with Jay-Z/Jeezy. And I also don't appreciate how you distorted the audio to display the profanity and not the complete message and energy of the song.

P.S. You all can kick rocks with Bush.....Bish!

Welcome to Rumorville Bishes!!

On this weeks installment of Rumorville we have a few new baby bumps to watch out for. Allegations of sexually transmitted diseases,downlow brothers, and drug usage.

Ashanti is rumored to Pregnant for boyfriend, Nelly.



It is being said that after they wrapped the video shoot this week for Plies' Want It, Need It ft Ashanti, the songtress announced she was expecting. Some are speculating she is four months pregnant. Although she's been looking a little thick- I don't think she's that far along.

Oprah's Former Lover Writes Tell-All
One of the most powerful and influential women in the world...the wealthiest African-American woman by far is being hit with a nuclear bomb.

According to an alleged past love, there's a sex-and-drug tell-all in the works titled, The Wizard of O: My Life With Oprah.



In an interview with The National Enquirer, Randolph Cook alleges that Oprah resumed her cocaine habit during their secret affair which began in 1984. Cook, 51, also claims the media mogul taught him how to smoke crack cocaine, and the two "freebased" the drug regularly during their passionate six-month romance and the talk show titan "was still under the influence while doing her show."

During an ENQUIRER investigation in 2007, reporters discovered court documents at Chicago's National Archives and Records Administration that support Cook's astonishing drug claims.

The document, titled "Defendant Oprah Winfrey's Answer to Plaintiff's Amended Complaint At Law," reveals: "Defendant admits that she and Cook had sexual relations." And it also says: "Defendant admits that Cook used cocaine in her presence and that she used cocaine while Cook was present."

Wowzers.....all I can say is people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. So true or not Oprah still the woman! But I'd respect her more if she admitted her downfalls to help other people. But no response from Lady O, as of yet.

“These malicious allegations are absolutely false and we look forward to the opportunity to dispute them in court.”

Well Biggie's mom, Voletta Wallace, responded via Esscence saying this:


ESSENCE.COM: (Laughs.) Definitely. Is there something you discovered about your son and his legacy while watching the film?

WALLACE: (Laughs.) I gained strength from it. There were things about him that I never knew that I wanted to see for myself on film. I saw a side of my son that I heard of but I haven’t accepted. I’m angered by certain things, disappointed and shocked. So this film taught me tolerance and to be less critical. I would love to speak to Lil’ Kim, because I need to ask more about this love relationship because I really didn’t like the way he treated her and I’m praying that that’s not it. Only she can answer those questions. She’s a sweet girl and I didn’t think she deserved to be treated the way he treated her, if that’s the case.


To little to late? Or do you think the two can find common ground after the big screen?

I'm excited because many of the things that occured in his life/death influenced or culture(hip hop) sooo much. I know ya'll remember Puff and those shiny suits??!! Its like a flash back to a time when there was so much passion in the industry and hip hops influence was at the height of its momentum.

So everyday, I'm gonna drop some Notorious stuff. Just to get everyone amped up like me.

A friend of Grant's who was with him on the crowded Oakland train station platform at the time of the shooting said Grant pleaded with officers not to harm him.

"Oscar yelled, 'You shot me! I got a four-year-old daughter,"' said Fernando Anicete. "Oscar was telling us to calm down and we did. We weren't looking for any trouble."

Anicete was among more than 50 people attending a tearful news conference in Oakland on Sunday where Grant's family announced they planned to file a $25 million claim against the Bay Area Rapid Transit agency this week. A claim is the first step in the process of suing the agency.

The family's attorney John Burris said the shooting was intentional, and that he planned to ask Alameda County prosecutors to seek criminal charges against the officer. Burris said Grant, of Hayward, Calif., posed no threat to officers when a bullet entered his back and ricocheted to his lung area, killing him almost instantly.

"The officer leaned (in), was straddling over him and pointed his gun directly into the backside and shot (Grant)," said Burris, adding that Grant was handcuffed -- after he was shot. "This was not a deadly force situation."
