“Eminem is like the Godfather of the Hip-Hop game.” – Tony Yayo

ESPN is planning to air a documentary called One Night In Vegas on September 7th this year to coincide with the anniversary of 2Pac’s shooting and passing. The documentary, directed by Reggie Bythewood, will chronicle the friendship shared between Mike Tyson and Tupac and conclude with Tyson’s win against Bruce Seldon on September 7th 1996 and the tragic events that followed.

Wale gets more shoe sponsorship than most NBA players.

I guess now that Shyne sounds nothing like Biggie anymore it’s alright to use Notorious B.I.G. vocal samples. This would be a really good song if it wasn’t for the really forced and irrelevant 50 Cent and Rick Ross disses thrown in there, complete with a Jay-Z “what the fuck is 50 cents” vocal sample, on the end of EVERY verse, and the fact that Shyne now, unfortunately, really, really, really sucks.

This one is too funny and weird to even describe.

So three weeks after he was released from a four month bid in Arizona, DMX is going in the cage again. It seems his more recent legal convictions violated conditions of his probation from a 2002 driving conviction in Los Angeles so LA authorities have issued a new warrant for his arrest. X apparently plans on turning himself in in LA tomorrow.

That is a really tough break, because it’s not like he did anything new, the crimes he already paid for by serving time in Arizona are what violated this probation which was given all the way back in 2002.

Keep your head up X.
