For those of you not knowing the "situation," Harlem rapper Charles Hamilton falsely listed James Yancey a.k.a. J DIlla as the executive producer of his upcoming album. Without ever meeting the man. Needless to say, this angered a couple folks, especially those close to J Dilla. One of the those people is House Shoes: Detroit's hip hop ambassador to the world, Dilla's Dj, and one of his closest friends. He came through the offices yesterday to give us the exclusive interview about this whole fuckery. Needless to say, he's not happy and neither is the whole city of Detroit.
Shout out to Shoes for coming through. We salute you, Respect due.

Pharrell vs. McDonald's.
On a connecting flight home from Malaysia, Skateboard P stopped in Paris, France. It's 6am and Pharrell is hungry, so he tries anything to get McDonald's to open up early and serve him some breakfast. Maybe a little song and dance will do the trick. Or maybe not...
Spotted at Mario's.

Curtis plans to leak a pornographic video of Brooke, Ricky's OTHER Baby's Mama, who was exposed as an escort in the original video with Ross's first baby momma. And in true 50 fashion, his alter ego "Pimpin' Curly" is going to host and narrate the video. The video will hit 50's new website today. Here's the trailer. NSFW!

N.O.R.E. Arrested in Fatburger.
Details are still shaky, but supposedly Noreaga punched somebody is the face and then threw a cup of yellow liquid on the dude. I hope it was lemonade, Nore, and not some R. Kelly type of shit going down. This is how it jumped off according to the Miami Herald:
Victor Santiago, who also goes by stage names N.O.R.E. or Noreaga, was arrested by Miami Beach police after he got into a fight with a man at Fatburger, a South Beach restaurant located at 947 Washington Ave., police said.
According to the police report, Santiago and three other men walked into Fatburger yelling loudly. On their way in, the rapper ripped one of the restaurant’s flower bouquets out of its place. Santiago then offered a man a cup of yellow liquid — when the man refused, Santiago threw it at him.
”Do you know who I am?” Santiago yelled, according to the report.
The rapper then punched the man in the face three times, police said.
I love when famous people say "Do you know who I am" when they get in trouble. Best excuse ever. Nore says no flowers were involved, and is going to reveal his side of the story tonight. And also revealed that he was there to order a Veggie burger. Because, you know, he's on a diet.

50 Cent vs. Rick Ross (Round 3)
Curtis interviews Rick Ross's baby mamma and she dishes the dirt of Officer Rawse. Then 50 takes her on a shopping spree just for good measure. Because he can. If you haven't been following this beef, the current score is 3-0 in favor of 50 Cent. Fif is the king of all things beef, you can't compete with this dude when it comes to this type of fuckery. He lives for it. Officer's Ross doesn't stand a chance in hell because (a) he's a cop and (b)50 will go to any length to embarrass you. This goes beyond diss records, 50 is fucking with Ricky for fun. He's the Darth Vaider of this rap shit. I'm not a fan of 50 or Rick, but this shit is beyond entertaining.
If you're unaware where or how this started, follow along...
1. Rick made a song called "Mafia Music" is which is takes shots at Curtis.
“I love to pay ya bills, can’t wait to pay ya rent/Curtis Jackson, baby mama ain’t looking for a cent/Burn the house down, you gotta buy another/Don’t forget the gas can, jealous stupid motherfucker”
2. 50 responds with a song called "Try Me" in which he goes after Ross and DJ Khaled
3. Ricky goes on the radio to talk shit about Curtis. He basically says the "Try Me" track is garbage and gives Fifty 48 hrs to respond.
4. Curtis responds in less than 24 hours with a video blog stating he's going to "fuck up your life...for fun."
5. Ross doesn't say shit.
6. Curtis releases a animated cartoon called "Officer Ricky" taking more shots at Rawse and making people laugh in the process.
7. Ross doesn't say shit.
8. Curtis puts Ricky's baby momma in front of the camera and buys her a fur coat and some Gucci shoes.

"Gangster's Don't Ask Questions." (c) Lil Wayne
...But evidentially they answer them. Weezy sits down with Katie Curic (also something gangsters obviously do) for an All Access Grammy Special, which will be airing before the Grammy show. This is a preview of the interview that is sure to rock the nation. Or not.
Regardless, I think Wayne is off his rocker, and I don't think the mainstream world is ready for that. This will be interesting.

Kanye Cusses Out Fan In Autotune.
This is funny on multiple levels. Kanye breaks into a freestyle-type tirade after somebody throws a coin at him on stage, but his mic has the auto-tune effect. Imagine if he always sounded like that? I might kill somebody.

Suge Knights Sues Kanye West.
Bwhahahahahaha. I'm sorry. This is too funny. But what fall from grace has Suge Knight had. Apparently Suge Knight is suing Kanye West, blaming him for getting shot at Yeezy's pre-MTV VMA party in 2005. Suge claims that Kanye is responsible because security at the party allowed a man to smuggle in a gun, and then this said man proceeded to shoot Suge in the leg.
Knight alleges that he had to undergo months of physical therapy, suffered permanent impairment in his mobility, and ended up with significant medical bills - which included the cost of a private jet to transport him from Miami to Los Angeles. The lawsuit also claims that Suge lost a 15-carat, $135,000 diamond stud earring during the incident, which he includes in the suit as "damages for the loss of use and enjoyment of the earring." Hahahaha, enjoyment of the earring? Is this dude serious? The man who was once the most feared man in the music industry is claiming to be a victim of the heartbroken, auto-tune singing Kanye West? Incredible. I've seen it all.
Karma is a bitch. This is what he gets for killing Biggie and Pac.

Obama vs. McCain Dance-Off.
This actually happened.
Nunchunk Baseball.
This is off the hook. Michaelangelo has nothing on this dude. A Japanese master heads down to the local batting cages to knock some balls outta the park using his trusty nunchucks. Afterwards, he celebrates by poppin some bottles using said nunchucks.
See, this is why I always wanted to be a ninja when I was a kid.

Rick Ross FINALLY Admits to Being Correctional Officer.
File this under: It's About Fucking Time. For months, Rick Ross vehemently denied being a Florida state correctional officer after photos surfaced of him in his officer uniform sporting a 1991 flat top.
"Online hackers put my face when I was a teenager in high school on other peoples' body," said Ross. "If this shit was real don't you think they would have more specifics, like dates and everything? Fake pictures are created by the fake, meant to entertain the fake."
More specifics? Like dates and everything? Funny you should ask. The Smoking Gun released these measly specifics like his application form, payment stubs, and discharge papers - proving he was a Florida C.O. for 18 months.. Ross continued to deny allegations, claiming he was never a cop, and that his past that he rapped about was tied to the streets and selling more powder than Johnson & Johnson. And we continued to not believe a word he said. Rappers tell stories. That's what they do.
But no, Ross would own up to anything, until now. In the latest issue of Don Diva magazine, the Florida emcee changes course regarding his pre-rap career. "Yes, it's me," Ross tells Don Diva. "I never tried to hide my past."
Never tried to hide his past? I cant tell if this dude is delusional or full of shit. Why would he come out and admit this now? Why not do it when it first became public? Own up to it, and move on. But you made yourself look like a complete moron by denying, denying, denying, then when nobody believed you, finally admitting it to a magazine that nobody reads and hoping nobody would notice. In fact, why even admit it all together? Just continue to lie about it and believe your own lies? Whatever, the people who like him are going to continue to like him, and the people that don't will continue not to. Me, I'll continue to not give a fuck...

When Booty Shaking Goes Wrong.
Careful ladies...the Booty Shake is a powerful thing, and deadly when in the wrong hands.
I Have Some 19 Year Old "Friends."
I spotted this at the homie E-Dub's crib. SHM. Somehow R.Kelly made himself look even worse in this interview with BET. Toure asked him point blank if he liked underage girls. His answers are extremely sketchy, at best. "Now, what exactly do you mean when you say teenage?"
But come on, we've all known Kells was up to something...I mean, just look at his song titles...
"Seems Like You're Ready" (really? sounds like something you say to a virgin)
"I Like The Crotch On You" (classy)
"You Remind Me Of Something" (yeah, an underaged girl)
"Down Low (Nobody Has to Know)" (because if they know, I'm going to jail)
"If I Could Turn Back the Hands of Time" (then you would be even younger!)
"Like A Real Freak" (no kidding...you pissed on a girl)
"Don't You Say No" (or else I'll make you say yes)
"All I Really Want" (is a young girl)
"It's Your Birthday" (now that you're 18, you're officially too old for me)
"Feelin' On Your Booty" (more class)
"I Surrender" (because they got me on tape)
Swagger Like Puff.
You knew it was coming. Puff puts on his best Lil Wayne impersonation and gives his take on the hottest song in the streets, "Swagger Like Us" -- courtesy of his now legendary Diddy blogs.
Three things we learned from this video fuckery:
(1) Puff loves attention.
(2) Puff eats cereal with Orange Juice, not milk.
(3) Puff is loaded, but not rich enough to have someone pour his cereal for him.
(4) "This is not a remix, it's the truth."
(5) Autotune needs to die.
(6) The word "Swagger" needs to die.
(7) Puff still loves attention.

The Game Smashes Bow Wow in Madden.
You heard it. If you haven't been following this fuckery, The Game claimed he was the best Madden player in the world, and Bow Wow objected challenging him to a game for $100K. The Game accepted the $100,000 challenge, and upped the ante saying that Ciara has to suck his dick, along with everyone else on his tour bus. Bow Wow responded back saying he was undefeated and Game couldn't touch him. Game responded back....again. This was all done over YouTube for the world to see. That's gangster.
So they faced off tonight in Los Angeles on the Xbox360 in a game of Madden NFL 09. $100,000 was on the line, and the Game destroyed Bow Wow 55-23. Bow Wow took the biggest L, and was crying and talking shit the whole time like a true champion.
Compton's in the house. And Ciara is sucking somebody tonight.

4 out of 5 Dentists Recommend Lil Wayne Stays Home.
Lil Wayne is in trouble again after missing a court date...because of his pearly whites. Evidently, all that syrup he's sipping is rotting his teeth because Weezy had an emergency dental work procedure in which he had numerous root canal surgeries - prompting his dentist to urge him not to travel. And because he couldn't travel he couldn't go to Arizona for his scheduled court appearance. I hope he got a doctor's note.
He was supposed to appear in a Yuma County (Arizona) court, facing a few charges here and there, including:
(1) possession of a narcotic drug for sale.
(2) possession of dangerous drugs.
(3) misconduct involving weapons.
(4) possession of drug paraphernalia.
(5) transportation and/or sale of a narcotic drug.
(6) transportation and/or sale of a dangerous drug.
(7) damn.
