WTH? Inspectah Still Keep Beef With Joe Buddens Alive "I’m Coming For You"
OMG! We aren’t over this dumb beef stuff yet!
Wu-Tang Clan’s Inspectah Deck has issued a warning to Joe Budden nearly a month after saying his issues with the rapper were squashed and promised he would meet the New Jersey emcee face-to-face if a diss was made towards him.
R.I.P To DJ AM!
Despite reports that DJ AM (born Adam Goldstein) might have been depressed over a recent breakup with model Hayley Wood before his death on Friday, law enforcement sources believe the celebrity DJ’s death was an accidental drug overdose, not suicide.
Citing unnamed police sources, TMZ reported that recovering addict AM had developed a dependency on Xanax and a number of other anti-anxiety drugs after the fiery plane crash he and Blink-182′s Travis Barker survived last year. Both men were seriously injured in the accident, which took four lives and resulted in Barker and AM receiving a number of painful skin grafts to treat the second- and third-degree burns they suffered.
AM (born Adam Goldstein), 36, was found dead in his Soho apartment in New York on Friday evening, reportedly with a crack pipe and prescription pills nearby. Like a number of friends who expressed grief over AM’s death over the weekend — including musical partner Travis Barker, ex-girlfriend Mandy Moore and a host of fellow DJs — Pinsky said he was upset by the loss of someone he considered a “very close” friend. The doctor said AM had been a model for people going through addiction and praised him for his selflessness in helping others get clean. (MTV.com)
Chris Brown Still "Can’t Believe" That He Assualted Rihanna
When Chris Brown sees the infamous leaked photo of ex-girlfriend Rihanna with a bruised and battered face following his early-morning assault on her on February 8, he still can’t believe it.
“When I look at it now, it’s just like, wow, like, I can’t — I can’t believe that — that actually happened,” Brown told CNN’s Larry King in an interview slated to run on Wednesday night, his first since his arrest in February. Brown also claims in the interview that he cannot remember that night’s violence, which police said included the then-19-year-old singer punching, biting and choking Rihanna.
Brown told King that he still loves Rihanna and that he’s still in love with her, but the judge’s stay-away order will keep him apart from the singer for the next five years. Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault on June 22 in a deal that helped him avoid up to five years in jail, but includes five years of probation and six months of community labor service.
Brown said he realizes now that his violent actions have real-world consequences. “They want me to pick up trash, remove graffiti,” he said, dubbing the judge’s sentence as fair. “I’m a hard worker. It’s something I’m willing to do.”
Brown’s attorney, Mark Geragos, told King that he’s grown to love the singer as a “son or a nephew,” and that the sentence means Brown has to walk “the straight and narrow for five years.”
So far, Brown appearsto have gotten off to a shaky start, as questions were raised last week on the day of his sentencing about whether his celebratory dancing at a Los Angeles nightclub may have been a violation of his probation (Peep This). A spokesperson for the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office and one for the probation department said on Friday that they have not opened any investigation into whether a probation violation occurred.

Memphis Bleek: Timbaland Leaks Jay Z’s Record!
If another record from Jay Z’s ‘Blueprint 3′ album leaks, we won’t have anything to look forward too. I mean, we’ve already heard Off That, Reminder, Venus vs. Mars, D.O.A, Run This Town-what will be next?
During an interview with Hip Hop Wired, Jay Z’s BFF, Memphis Bleeks lets us know who did the leakage!
“Man , you know where that’s coming from. That’s Timbo’s camp. Somebody is playin’ dirty. It’s cool though. I like to see the people’s opinions. I’ve been reading the comments on Jay’s records saying that the beats don’t sound like this or that. I think they just set the bar too high for my guy.”
Rumors that were floating around that Timbaland was not too pleased that he didn’t get a chance to produce a good majority of Jay’s latest effort, adds even more truth to the fire. It has also been mentioned that the beats that were supplied to Jay, were not Timbaland’s best beats in his stash. He allegedly plans on keeping his best beats for his album Shock Value 2.
For those of you who are expecting to get a Jay-Z that you have been experiencing for some time now, Bleek lets you know that Jay’s goal is to expand as an artist and to cover new ground by not limiting himself musically. While other artists are huddled in the studio trying their hardest to make another one of the hits they once had, Jay is striving to create brand new magic and hits that are different from his last.
“A couple of years back, I had asked Jay why he doesn’t make another “Big Pimpin.” This was like four years ago when I asked him this and his answer to me was ‘Why would I do that?’ “Big Pimpin” is already made. So then, I didn’t understand what he meant by that and I’m like so what, I would just make six of those and ride it to the end of the wave. But he’s right because if you make four more of those records, then the original won’t be hot anymore. You have to move on to the next wave and I think that people want him to stay Reasonable Doubt, Volume 2, Blueprint Jay. He’s not that guy anymore, he’s outta here.”
Bleek is readying his 5th studio album The Process which will be released November 24th. The Process will be Executive Produced by Jay-Z and will feature appearances from Rick Ross, Jay-Z, and Pharrell with production from Just Blaze and No I.D.
