The IRS has ironically slammed Nas with a demand for $2.5 million in unpaid taxes. They have requested he pay the massive figure amount for outstanding taxes owed between 2006 and 2007. This is only another troubled time for Nas because his estranged wife Kelis managed to pull $30,471 a month for her and their infant son Knight. If ya’ll missed the Method Man ordeal, [click here] and video of Meth turning himself in also [click here].

What the fuck is the deal with rappers wives these days dropping a splintered ball bat on their nuts? Eminem’s wife Kim said he sucked in bed and wasn’t well-endowed, and now Kelis pulled almost $31,000 from Nas’ ass.

What I don’t get is the fact that Wesley Snipes evaded taxes with three million dollars and is spending three years in prison. Johnny Blaze evades with $32,000 and could be sentenced to four years in prison. Where is the justification here?

The video/song features Ready Roc and Street Life.

Cee-Lo and the Goodie Mob has added a second reunion show at Cypress Hill’s upcoming Smokeout Festival return in California.

The hip-hop act and Geto Boys will both reform for the event, which was last held in 2003.

The two-day festival at the San Manuel Amphitheatre at the end of October will be hosted by stoner icons Cheech & Chong and feature Slipknot, the Deftones and Sublime.

Rappers Cypress Hill launched Smokeout in 1998 to create awareness around cannabis counter-culture.

The band’s B Real says, “This will be our best Smokeout ever. Slipknot, Deftones, Sublime! Cheech and Chong, Redman and Method Man, Geto Boys, Goodie Mob… It’s a stoner’s dream come true. Our fans deserve an event that celebrates our love of music and marijuana culture. It’s gonna take two days to take it all in.” Bandmate DJ Muggs adds, “After six years we are returning with the world’s premier cannabis music festival. The spirit of the Smokeout is centred in unifying people, music, while being embraced by the world’s oldest miracle herb. This two day festival of high vibrations of lifted music with friends and family is truly exciting to see take form and once again rock the stage with some of the best musical acts in the world.” Goodie Mob announced plans to reunite for a one-off show in in their native Atlanta, Georgia on September 19 and last month in July.

A statement from Green reads, “The Goodie Mob Reunion is something we have collectively talked about doing for a long time. The people have called for it, and with the state of the union the way it is, the time is right.” Green quit Goodie Mob, who stormed the world’s rap charts in 1995 with the album “Soul Party“, in 2000.

According to several sources Method Man is being sued for allegedly shooting a female fan six times with a pellet gun.

The lawsuit was filed against him on July 30th in Harris County, Texas. The woman claimed she was shot six times after asking Method Man for an autograph after a show at the Houston House of Blues. She claims Method Man shot her with the pellet gun from the window of his tour bus as she was requesting an autograph

Mary Anderson is seeking compensation for physical pain in suffering in the past and future, mental anguish, physical impairment, disfigurement and legal and medical bills incurred because of the shooting.

Method Man has not commented on the incident yet.

Personally, I think this is really out of character for Meth, and I highly doubt there’s much truth to it. And seriously, how many medical bills and how much impairment or disfigurement can be caused by a pellet gun?

That’s Mickey Factz next to him. “Mickey and Mouse.”

We just got word that a fight broke out at Rock The Bells New York after Slaughterhouse’s set as they were walking off stage before Wu-Tang got on stage after them.

While the rumors are probably going to run crazy that it was a Wu-Tang vs. Slaughterhouse altercation apparently Slaughterhouse wasn’t involved at all, but word is Wu-Tang or their entourage did rush someone backstage.

I am also told that Joe Budden and Method Man talked things through backstage before the fight.

UPDATE: According to StreetHop.com community member ImmortalTech, what happened was Poppa Wu tried to approach Joe Budden to talk to him, but security intervened and overreacted for no reason. Although something else may have happened too.

From what I am hearing, things aren’t all good in the Slaughterhouse camp right now. The main situation is this beef with Wu-Tang, most notably Inspectah Deck and now Raekwon [click here]. All the Wu members involved have publicly [click here] said that they are cool with Crooked I, Royce The 5′9″ and Joell Ortiz but have a problem with Joe Budden.

Joe Budden stated during a live video chat [click here] that he wasn’t going to reply to Inspectah Deck’s diss [click here] and the “Fuck Joe Budden” at Rock The Bells DC because of the “politics” and because the rest of Slaughterhouse told him not to.

This whole situation might be causing some friction internally within the camp. After the Rock The Bells Chicago and Toronto, before all of this, both Crooked I and Joe Budden released video blogs [click here & here] of backstage on the tour, promising more at the next stop; but that hasn’t happened with Rock The Bells DC where the beef really took off. No video blogs, no video interviews with reporters like at all the other stops, nothing. No JoeBuddenTVs, nada, all is quiet on the Slaughterhouse front. And what makes it even more strange is that they have an album to promote, promo was rolling at an all time high, the hype and momentum was there after “The One” video clip was released [click here], now nothing.

Hopefully everything is cool, I’d hate to see this bullshit break up one of the most promising groups in Hip-Hop history, but something seems to have changed. Maybe they are just distracted, maybe they are planning for something bigger, who knows. Like I said this is all rumors and speculation.

Stay tuned. Slaughterhouse album out August 11th on E1 (Koch).

What’s up with Raekwon talking the peace talk and then taking shots himself?

Rumor has flown around the radio waves and internet streets that Joe Budden and Raekwon got into some kind of altercation at Rock The Bells in D.C. today over the Joe Budden vs. Method Man turned Inspectah Deck beef they have brewing.

Raekwon hit his twitter pretty quick to clarify that nothing happened saying “All the rumors are false bout me and that kid there was no fight or altercation, a nigga had to clear that up.”

However reports from the concert are saying that Raekwon was joined on stage by RZA and Inspectah Deck, and before leaving the stage Deck let out a “Fuck Joe Budden.”

Budden was of course at Rock The Bells as Slaughterhouse is on the tour, and he quickly twittered a simple “Now, it’s on…” Putting to rest any questions whether he’d respond to Deck’s diss [click here to listen]. And expect the reply soon considering Joe says “It looks like I’m just driving home…. I’m really writing…”

I suspect video of all of this will hit the net shortly so stay tuned to StreetHop.com.

Will Joe respond? Joe says “I’ll see what happens when I get in the booth.”

Inspectah Deck comes through to defend Method Man, but not before Joe Budden threw out the challenge [click here].

It’s solid. But really, I don’t see why he had to include shots at Slaughterhouse in there. I really don’t think Deck wants to go up against the whole ‘House, but maybe Wu-Tang does? The reply is going to be hot, no doubt, and we’ll see where it goes from there.

“Shit, I’ma tell you — we need to just do it anyways. Because we need to get that bread. I need that bread. Plus we need to keep it going — these windows in rap are not as open as they were in the nineties. You gonna hear another Blackout!, who knows when, but it’s coming.”
