I think we all know who is responsible for this new NBA dresscode

SOHH has an ridiculously thorough breakdown of the charges against Murder Inc and Irv Gotti, and the maneuvering their lawyers are doing to beat them.

There are alot of Jay-bringing-Nas-on-stage rumors flying around lately. People are even talking about a collabo album. I heard that Miss Info went so far as to say that a Nas/Def Jam deal is about to be announced. UPDATE: There’s a brand new Nas interview over at MTV, where he talks about his search for a new label, his beef with 50, and his relationship with Jay. "I’m starting off something new. You might be surprised of who you see rolling with me."

Bang ‘Em Smurf and Domination, remember these guys? They were like the first people, besides Ja and them, to beef with 50 after he blew. Well, they’re album release party got shot up this weekend in Queens. 

God bless Fresh over at Crunk and Disorderly for this Christina Milian nip-slip picture. Wow. 

A recent Ghostface show in Chicago turned into a bottle throwing extravaganza when Tru-Life, who was opening, got into it with the crowd…

…and speaking of Tony Starks: New Redman, Luda, and Ghostface - Futurethugs

Well well, what do we have here, Styles P and Jadakiss doing something positive at the Millions More Movement in D.C. this weekend. I wonder what 50 was so busy doing that he couldn’t bring his black ass down there and do something, anything, for the community that put him where he is today. Oh wait, I almost forgot, only white people buy his albums…

50 talks greasy

Monday, October 17th, 2005

50 was recently on the Tim Westwood show in The U.K. and he made it known that if Dre were to work on Game’s next album, that would be cause for beef between 50 and the Dr. I don’t know, but according to Game, Dre is all over his next album. Whether or not it ever drops is another story…This greasy talk comes just month after some previous trash talking that 50 did where he blamed Dre for not putting Game in check when he got out of line.

Audio - 50 Cent Talking Greasy 

Update - Yeah this should be interesting.

King’s Top 10 Worst Performances

Friday, October 14th, 2005

 mp_last_don.jpg

King Magazine recently made a top 10 list of the worst perfomances by rappers in movies.  If you know me, you know I hate when rappers try to act, especially when some of them can’t even rap. Unlike the VH1 top 50 list, I can’t really argue with King’s list, although I’m not sure Dre deserves the number 3 spot for Training Day.  I’d rather watch him in that anyday over any 30 seconds of 2 Fast 2 Furious.

1. Master P - Da Last Don
2. Nas - Belly
3. Dr Dre - Training Day
4. Ice T - leprechaun in the hood
5. Vanilla Ice - Cool as Ice
6. Ja rule - The Fast in the Furious
7. Big Daddy Kane - Posse
8. Ludacris - 2 Fast 2 Furious
9. LL Cool J - Deep Blue Sea
10. Will smith - The Legend of Bagger Vance

 DMX-court.jpg

Despite media reports, DMX’s lawyer says he did NOT dance out of court the other day….he did however, get a chance to practice his jail pose on the court house steps.

Em’s outta rehab and is in the studio with Dre working on his upcoming Best Of album, Curtain Call,  which is gonna feature two brand new songs.

Everybody needs one of these in their life.

This guy is on his grind as usual. 

Dame made a little trip to the Rocawear offices recently and collected some things. 

This right here is classic. It’s a Q&A session with Biggie from like 95 where he rates a whole bunch of MC’s. Good shit. Here’s what he had to say about KRS-ONE: 

KRS-One: KRS-One?? Naahhh…I don’t like KRS no more ’cause he just think
he’s too dope. He let his ego take over his shit and that’s what brings
him down. When he was like that (shouts "Blow it to yorself"), when he was
like that, then he was a ten but now, ‘I am Hip Hop’!!! Eat a dick nigga.
Eat a muthaphukkin’ dick!
 

Ding Dong the Witch is dead! Ok, I know that’s foul, but let’s be real, this broad stood against everything I stand for. I know she did a bunch of good shit back in the civil rights days and all, but she cancelled all that out with her behavior in the 90’s.

New Jack City 2? Hey stranger things have happened…

Preme wanted help from Puff and Jay

Wednesday, October 12th, 2005

story.mcgriff.jpg 

The Smoking Gun website today released transcripts of phone conversations between Chris (Lorenzo) Gotti and Kenneth ‘Supreme’ McGriff. During the conversations Mcgriff and Gotti discussed everything from  Ashanti’s relationship with Nelly, 50’s album sales, and the possibility of him approaching Diddy and Jay-Z for money to help his court case. Here are the good parts:

KM: All right I just thought I would give you a call hey um, I was going to write I was going to wrtie, I was going to reach out to Jay and um, and maybe Puff about some shorts for like for like my investigators and stuff - I shouldn’t right?

CL: Yeah you cool, why not?

KM: Yeah I was going to write a little short letter and give it to my investigator and let him talk to them you know what I mean?

CL:Yeah.

On 50’s album The Massacre:

CL: Everyone’s saying the album is garbage. Like I’m not just saying that, you know what I’m sayin.

KM: Yeahm yeah no, no, I mean its copy cat shit man, he’s singing and dancing and everything on his joints now.

CL: Yeah.

KM: But I be thinking, I be thinking he’s staging like, staging uh shootings, shootings, like he creates these things.

CL: I be thinking the same thing, man. 

And finally on Ashanti and Nelly:

KM: So, so, is, is Ashanti still fucking with him?

CL: Nigger, I don’t know! Yo, if I knew, I would say she’s probably still fucking the nigger, but, you know, who cares.

KM: Yeah.

CL: At the end of the day, it is what it is. I mean that’s a grown woman. She can do what the fuck she want to do. 

If you read the whole thing, you’ll see that not only does Preme have a serious stuttering problem, but him and the Gotti brothers were more than a little worried about  50’s sales numbers and how Interscope was  moving against Murder Inc behind the scenes.  You would think someone like Preme would know better than to discuss any of this shit, especially the 50 shit, over the phone from a federal prison, but i guess not.
