Fabolous new album "From the Bottom to the Top" was to drop this December but now will be pushed back to February 2007. Due to conflicts with the original October release date, Fabolous said the album was pushed back to December and is now slated to hit stores next year, featuring production by Just Blaze, Jazze Pha, and Kanye West, among others.
He said to AllHipHop "We got a lot of new producers, because it's not really about names, Some of joints on the album that are dope are by guys you may not have heard of, or heard them on a smaller scale. I took joints from everybody." [source]

Sad News: Rev Run and Justine Simmons were expecting a child. The rapper's wife gave birth Thursday, but the scene quickly turned to tragedy after their newborn girl was pronounced dead.
Justine’s pregnancy was the cliffhanger on the MTV show last season. It generated intense interest among viewers who have been anxiously following the pregnancy and awaiting the birth. Simmons, a member of the legendary rap group Run DMC, was at Valley Hospital in Ridgewood New Jersey Tuesday for the birth of his child. Doctors delivered the baby via c-section, revealing a cruel twist of fate — the baby girl was born with organs outside the body. The newborn died a short time later.

New Interview with Mya... she's talks about Game and 50 Cent.

In the past you have been linked to artists like 50 Cent. Any comments?
Mya: Yes: it’s not true. 50 and I never dated, never cuddled, never did anything, period, despite what he chooses to believe in his own mind. I don’t know how he would get Lloyd Banks confused with me.
Whoa. That’s cold blooooded.
Mya: At the end of the day I laugh because I’ve been linked to Jay-Z, Jadakiss, Wyclef, Sisqo, Game and Damon Dash. I’m like ohhhk, let me see pictures, let me see the sex tape.
Speaking about the Game, what was your initial reaction upon hearing his line on the song “Dreams,” where he says, “I had dreams of fucking an R&B bitch like Mya”?
Mya: Well, I had an A&R inform me of the song before I even heard it. That day I had my birthday party and the Game came through and said he wants to take me out to dinner and I’m thinking, ‘This sucker just called me a bitch on his record.’ So I told him, ‘Nice to meet you, but I have some friends I have to get to.’ I kept it polite, but kept it moving. I was a little pissed at him, before I heard it. But then I realized it was a compliment in a crazy hip hop kind of way. I did his video for the song because the director explained to me that it was just a fantasy sequence and nothing rea
The Game got his OWN SHOE, though. That doesn’t impress you?
Mya: (Laughs). Yea, he got his own shoe. I’m actually happily single though.

After Ras Kass claimed to have been jumped by Game and his Black Wall Street entourage of 30. Game claims that he never had a problem with Ras Kass until the rapper dissed him on the track "Caution" last year, and to add insult to injury named his son, which is something that doesn't fly with the Game. "I never had beef and never met Ras Kass, unless it was a quick exchange saying hello," Game told Allhiphop.com. "He talked about my son by name. You can say what you want about me, but what does my son got to do with it?" [ballerstatus.net]

He says they’ve already chosen six tracks that she’ll record, yet warns against fans having unrealistic expectations about the album’s music production and lyrics, the latter of which will likely avoid mention of her recent challenges.

Atlanta's hip-hop community is coming together for a just cause on September 16, to educate young people about the importance of personal finance.
With the help of Russell Simmons and his HSAN, rappers like Young Jeezy, Bobby Valentino, Paul Wall, Remy Ma, Chingo Bling and DJ Drama will speak on the grounds of the historic black college, Morris Brown College, about financial empowerment, with Ludacris and Jermaine Dpri playing hosts.
"Joining with Jermaine Dupri and Ludacris to host the Atlanta Hip-Hop Summit is a special blessing," said Russell Simmons. "This city is known for its great contributions to hip-hop, as well as being a center for social change in our nation and world. 'Get Your Money Right' is an opportunity for the core of our demographic -- 18-35 year olds -- to gain invaluable information on financial empowerment."
"I'm a firm supporter of the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network. I'm just trying to do my part in giving back and educating our youth on important issues in the community," added Ludacris.
HSAN's partners include Chrysler Financial, the title sponsor, and Anheuser-Busch, Inc., the presenting sponsor. The Hip-Hop Summit is now in its second successful year, bringing together the combination of hip-hop stars and Chrysler Financial experts to speak to students and community members about the importance of financial literacy.
The topics to be covered include the basics of banking, home ownership, repairing bad credit and understanding credit scores, entrepreneurship, and vehicle financing to name a few. With the title, "Get Your Money Right," the HSAN has go on a national tour with stops in three additional cities, including September 30 in Los Angeles, October 14 in Dallas and October 28 in Toronto, Canada.
The "Get Your Money Right" workbook, which will be given to all participants, is available in both English and Spanish and is downloadable on HSAN.org.

Former NWA star ICE CUBE was shocked to discover former bandmate YELLA has become a adult video director. Cube made the discovery when the pair met again recently, and realised he had listened to his pal's voice in the background on porn videos for years without realising. He says, "We did a photoshoot and he had a trunkful of his DVDs, he was like, 'This is what I do now'. I was like, 'OK... You know, I heard your voice in the background on a couple of these things, I thought it was you!'" [SOURCE]

Busta Rhymes Arrested and charged with assault, police said Sunday.

Few details about the arrest and the attack that prompted it were immediately available, although police Officer Martin Speechley said they occurred about a week apart.

Representatives of the rapper, whose legal name is Trevor Smith, could not immediately be reached for comment. Messages left for Violator Management and for a lawyer who once represented him were not immediately returned.

Police have been wanting to interview Rhymes since the February shooting death of one of his bodyguards, Israel Ramirez.

Ramirez, 29, was killed outside a Brooklyn studio where Rhymes was recording a music video.

The rapper and another bodyguard were sued the following month by a fan who says the two men beat him after he asked for the Rhymes [SOURCE]

MediaTakeOut.com say that Kelis, the wife of rapper Nas, was acting very single while out on the town recently.

Since marrying more a year ago, Kelis and Nas have been nearly inseparable. But at a party in New York City, Kelis was spotted without Nas and she seemed to be taking full advantage of the freedom.

A partygoer says that she spotted Kelis acting extremely friendly with three men. The source tells "the guys looked like models and they were grinding all over her on the dance floor." She added "Kelis looked really drunk, but she was definitely enjoying herself."

And according to the tipster, the men continued to cozy up with the Bossy singer in the VIP section, "when they went back to their table, the guys took turns hugging up on Kelis." And at the end of the night, a very drunk Kelis and the boys left the yard together. "They stumbled into a black SUV and sped off," explained the tipster. [SOURCE]

Lil Wayne Arrested On Drug-Possession Charges

Lil' Wayne was arrested Monday in Atlanta on charges of possession of less than 1 ounce of marijuana and possession of a controlled substance, according to a copy of his arrest report obtained by MTV.

The interior designer for Jay-Z's 40/40 Club in Manhattan has slapped the rapper with a $600,000 lawsuit for violating an agreement with his design firm.
According to the New York Post, Ilan Waisbod, founder of New York based Studio Gaia, filed the lawsuit in Manhattan Supreme Court last week.
The suit alleges that Hov failed to honor an agreement with Studio Gaia, by using similar interiors applied in the Manhattan 40/40 club in his 40/40 Club in Atlantic City and planning to use them in other clubs set to be built in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Singapore.

Andre3000 in interview to MTV.com clear up those bogus breakup rumors that have been circulating the net.

“Yesterday I got a phone call from Big Boi and he said that on some hip-hop Web sites that the headlines were reading something to the effect of, ‘It’s Official: Outkast Is Broken Up,’ or something like that,” Andre said. “And man, we’re looking at it like, where is this sh– coming from? I was on ‘TRL’ today to release a new video, and I meant to say something [about the situation] on the air. But the way they had the questions set up, I didn’t have a chance to do it.

Andre says that the rumors are not just on the Internet, but very much in the streets.

“Niggas hit me in the street like, ‘Yeah man, I heard the bad news. Sorry to hear about that,’ ” Andre continued. “I’m like ‘Man, what are you talking about?’ Everything is still tight, most definitely.”

D'Angelo is back in studio

The 32-year-old, singer D'Angelo, is now back in the States trying to get his career back on track. He was in New York recently meeting with Virgin Records urban music president Jermaine Durpi, music executive Gary Harris, who worked with D’Angelo on his 1994 breakthrough hit "Brown Sugar", and famous music industry manager Irving Azoff (Seal, Lenny Kravitz, Christina Aguilera).

In January 2005, he was arrested near his Richmond, VA hometown and charged with drunk driving and drug possession. Police searched his vehicle and found cocaine and marijuana. He was given a three-year suspended sentence after pleading no contest.

08 Oprah "Oprah can get it, but only if she pays for it. It don't have to be much. It could be a one-time thing, $100 thing, and she'd be all good."

07 Queen Latifah

06 Peggy, The Momma On "Married With Children" "I don't know her real name, but she could get it. The bitch on 'Married With Children' was fine as fuck, even though nobody was looking at her with all that makeup on."

05 Milla Jovovich

04 Pam Grier "She could get it, but only from the back cause something's wrong with her face."

03 Hilary Duff

02 Charli Baltimore "She can get it just cause of her hair. It's fluctuating. And she's taller than me, so I can lift her up."

01 Shawnna "C'mon. First of all, she's Shawnna. She can rap her ass off. I would love for her to rap to me while we're getting it on. She's just cute as hell. She's hood too, so sometimes if I'm real tired and can't fight, she'd probably fight for me. That's why she's number one on the list."

Janet tells to Essence magazine - "I feel like I finally met my match" "In relationships it was always the guy telling me, 'OK, hold on, wait a minute.' I'd ask my girlfriends, 'Aren't we supposed to be the ones who say, 'Wait, not tonight, I have a headache'? This happened through two [marriages] for me. I thought something's not right here. But with Jermaine I don't have to say anything; he knows I'm ready. Any time, any place."

Contrary to popular reports and persisent rumors, Prodigy of Mobb Deep was not killed this past weekend. Internet rumors have been swirling that Prodigy was killed in a shootout in Queens near his home, and that after he called the paramedics for help, he died on their way over. However, this rumor coincides with Mobb Deep announcing their tour dates for Europe, which would debunk the murder theory. Mobb Deep recently released Blood Money via G-Unit Records. However, despite the buzz, they did not sell many records, and at their current pace, will fail to even go gold. Despite this failure, it appears that 50 Cent is sticking with them.

Lloyd Banks finally has a solid release date for his second album, not that it's stopping him from recording more songs.

"I don't stop recording until they tell me I can't — 'cause some of your best ecords come at crunch time," said Banks, who is still adding material to Rotten Apple, due September 19... at June's BET Awards, where Banks performed with Busta Rhymes "It's a good thing to be back around and see a lot of your peers, and I'm actually going to call a few of them and try and get 'em into the studio to close the album out"

So far, Banks has brought in his G-Unit family — 50 Cent, Young Buck, Tony Yayo, Mobb Deep and Spider Loc — as well as Timbaland, Scarface, 8Ball, Rakim and, most recently, Musiq (Soulchild). "It ain't too many, but the ones I got on board are awesome," Banks said.

Although he's still recording, Banks has already released the first single — "Hands Up" and has the second picked out.

"I had a record recorded, actually, and I sent it to [50] and then Em. He sent it back to me and it's a hit," Banks said. "It's 'On Fire' all over again. That's what he told me not so long ago, it's 'On Fire' part two," he added, referring to one of the big singles from his 2004 debut, The Hunger for Mor.

As for the next one, Banks is "gonna talk to the females again." "The name of that track is 'Help' not me, but help the girl," is all he would say about single number two.

Will.I.Am says Hip-Hop is negative music!

2006-07-14T08:40:00.000-07:00

Will.I.AM says that he and the black eyed peas had started as a hip-hop group, but now he wants distance from hip-hop, beacause the genre of music is not what it used to be.

"When you compare it to today's standards of what hip-hop is... don't even call it that, cause that's like, an insult,"
"Today's hip hop is just angry, negative music that just makes black people look bad."
He can't be serious, i love my chick from busta is featuring will.i.am ... so this is not hip-hop???? ok... lol

Rapper and a bissness man Sean “Diddy” Combs, was selected to be honored with a terrazzo and brass star on Hollywood Boulevard in 2007. The Hollywood Walk of Fame chronicles the history of the Hollywood entertainment industry and the contributions of various celebrities and icons from the television, motion picture, radio, recording and live performance industries.

That’s just something you dream of, especially being from the East Coast. Being from New York, there’s three things you know about Hollywood. You know about the Hollywood sign, you know about Sunset Strip and Hollywood Boulevard with the stars. […] The day they give me a star in Hollywood, I’m going to invite everybody from New York out there to see it go down. I definitely think it’s a big thing for Hip-Hop and hopefully they will recognize more Hip-Hop stars. [Diddy told to AllHipHop.com ]

Congratulations Mr. P. Diddy...
