50 Cent Supports Kanye's Decision to Tour
In a recent interview with the AP, 50 Cent supported Kanye's decision to keep touring right after the sudden death of his mother, Dr. Donda West.
"That's really an unfortunate situation and I hope he can work his way through it," said Fif. "It's good to see him actually touring: You can work your way back into a comfortable space where you can deal with those situations."
As previously reported Dr. West died after she stopped breathing; numerous rumors speculate that the cause had something to do with complications from recent plastic surgery.
To 50, the situation was reminiscent of the death Lloyd Banks' father, who died when Banks 50 encouraged Banks to focus on his work rather than be paralyzed by grief. was on tour.
"I was telling him, 'You need to go back and do what you need to do,' and he thought maybe I was a little insensitive," said 50. "But I can definitely understand how that's a huge loss, and how that would be."
Although 50 and Kanye were embroiled in a much-hyped Soundscan battle, fans shouldn't be surprised that 50 offers his condolences to his competition, as he never had ill feelings toward 'Ye.
Suge Knight Involved In Biggie's Death?
After years of speculation about Marion "Suge" Knight's involvement in the Notorious B.I.G.'s murder, the Death Row Records label head may be called to testify at B.I.G.'s wrongful death trial, according to an Associated Press report.
The suit is against the Los Angeles Police Department brought by the family of the deceased Brooklyn MC. According to the report, US District Court Judge Florence Marie Cooper will allow Knight to be added to a list of defendants—which also includes current and former LAPD officers—based on new evidence.
Knight maintains his innocence.
T.I.'s Lawyers Seek to Suppress Evidence
It seems that good fortune may be shining on T.I., who is currently awaiting trial in a federal weapons case for allegedly attempting to purchase guns and silencers from an undercover agent.
On Monday (Nov 19), the rapper's team of attorneys filed motions to suppress evidence seized from his vehicle, as well as statements he made when he was arrested on Oct. 13, according to the AP.
T.I's attorneys claim that the officers had no warrant, consent or probable cause to search his vehicle; in light of this, the defense wants statements that the rapper made to be thrown out of the case because they may have been obtained improperly.
No response from the judge has been made, though an email from a federal prosecution spokesman stated that he would address it in court.
If convicted, T.I. could serve up to 10 years in prison, as well as face a fee of $250,000 on each weapons charge.
Currently, T.I. is on house arrest until the trial begins.
Happy Holidays...Sorry for the delay in post..HUGE UPDATE!!
R. Kelly Boots Ne-Yo Off "Double Up" Tour
Despite a pending statutory rape trial, R.Kelly's Double Up tour (which opened Nov 14 in Georgia) was one of the most anticipated concerts of the winter. Originally, the line-up featured singers, Keyshia Cole, Ne-Yo and J. Holiday as opening acts. But earlier this week, Ne-Yo was abruptly dumped from the show.
"Let them tell it, I was removed from the R. Kelly tour because of contractual agreements not being met, but that's absolutely false...I believe it was because the first few reviews of the show, people were talking more about my set than his and I don't think he liked that too much," Ne-Yo tells BET, "...I'm gonna keep doing what I do, because it's obvious that's what was hurting him."
Ne-Yo's publicist has released the following cryptic statement regarding Ne-Yo's release:
"Yesterday, Shaffer Smith aka Ne-Yo was informed that he was being dropped from the rest of the R Kelly tour after delivering two sensational performances. Entertainment reporters, music critics, bloggers, fans, and concert goers all agreed that Ne-Yo's performances brought the heat; but maybe it brought too much heat.

Soulja Boy Debunks "Superman Dat Hoe" Rumors
In the midst of controversy surrounding an internet rumor, Soulja Boy—the teenaged chart topping rapper who struck gold with the infectious single "Crank Dat"—recently spoke with BET.com to clarify the meaning of the dance that took him from obscurity to stardom. Urban Dictionary’s website defines the term as the following: “when you ejaculate on a girls back then put a blanket on her so when she stands up the blanket sticks therefore making her look like she has a cape.”
Not only does the 17-year-old rapper deny the Internet definition, he says the haters are too late, as the dance is old news. “‘Superman,’ ‘Crank That’ [is] old. You can tell whoever wrote that was intending to stop my shine. The way they wrote words…it was professionally typed. Ain’t nobody doing nothing like that. At the end of the day, they just came too late with the rumor.”
Lil Eazy-E Says Lil Wayne is a "Fake" Blood
It’s no secret that Cash Money heads’ Lil Wayne and Birdman represent a certain “gang affiliation;” seen in every photo-op, video shoot and television appearance wearing red and sporting red bandanas. As some might let this slide in belief that it’s a “style” or “fashion statement,” one Compton rapper is taking offense.
Apparently, Lil Eazy-E (son of the legendary Eazy-E), is sick and tired of the “fake gangbanging” occurring in hip hop these days.
“First of all, let me start off by saying much love to all my Crips, Pirus and Bloods out there that have lived and shed blood for what they believe in and represent; but all this extra fake gangbanging going on is really getting out of hand. I’m seeing this nigga Baby on 3 songs Blooding and Li Wayne ‘soowooping’ at the awards. Enough is enough. This don’t have nothing to do with them Blooding; if they was Cripping I would have the same reaction,” Lil Eazy-E said via a statement to DubCNN.
“Those of us that are true to this need to stand up and say enough is enough. I got homies who are in jail, fighting for their lives and homes who are RIP behind this thang. And for those fools who are clowning and making a mockery of us; I’m telling you no more … This is part of the problem as to why the West is not winning right now. These niggas have taken our style and way of life and are destroying it. Well I have had enough. For every action there is a reaction.”
