The Gorilla Is Tight: 50 Cent's Song & Video Leaked

Last night, a digital copy of a new 50 Cent song called “Follow My Lead,” which features Robin Thicke, leaked onto the Internet weeks before 50's new album, "Curtis" is scheduled to hit store shelves. As if that wasn't already a problem, a final cut version of the song's video also hit the Internet and was soon available on You Tube and Dailymotion. According to Miss Info from Hot 97, 50 was tight when he found out about the leak. Sources say 50 went crazy in his Manhattan office, ripping a plasma television off the wall, throwing his cell phone through a window and declaring that he was going on vacation. Apparently, 50 pulled a Beyonce because viewers will not be able to see the video due to some copyright bullsh!t. God really doesn't like ugly!

Maybe She Should've Went To Rehab: Amy Winehouse Drug Overdose

Amy Winehouse was recently rushed to the hospital. Amy’s record company reported that she was being treated from “severe exhaustion”. Come to find out they were lying. According to the UK SUN, Amy collapsed because she had a drug overdose yesterday. She was rushed to hospital by her husband and a female friend. Sources say that when Amy reached the reception desk, her legs buckled and shorty dropped to the floor with a shriek. She then received emergency treatment which doctors gave her an adrenaline shot and pumped her stomach. Seems like shorty needs to stop saying No, No, No! to rehab and check herself in immediately. Damn, cocaine is really a hell of a drug!

Kanye Has No Love For Celebrity Gossip Blogs

In his interview with Complex magazine, Kanye told the mag about the blogs he dislikes. Hmmm... I wonder who made the list?

“Man, it really takes a strong person to read the blogs,” the Louis Vuitton Don says in the next issue of Complex magazine, which he guest-edited. “It’s just no-holds-barred. So if you’re feeling good about yourself and you want to feel like s-- go to the blogs.”

If You Still Say "Bling"...Then You're A Wigger!!!: Kanye's Take On The Word

Kanye told Complex magazine: "Only white people and older black people say 'bling' now. If a white person uses slang too early, then that makes them look like a wigger. But if black people use slang too late, then it makes them look like a wigger." Now, I'm wondering how the hell this even came up in an interview???

Now, You Taking Shots At 50?:Cam'ron's Beef With 50 Cent

Aight y'all, rappers 50 Cent and Cam'ron have beef and it's really over nothing. Cam allegedly made fun of 50's real name which is "Curtis" and then said 50 has lost his street cred. Now, 50's calling Cam an "idiot". This definitely sounds like some high school bullsh!t. I always felt Cam'ron looked like an "idiot" going on 60 minutes discussing how he will never snitch no matter what the situation is. It's bad enough he embarrassed himself on tv, but he also embarassed Hip-Hop as a culture. So, I guess 50 is right. My advice to Cam'ron, "stick to making up words to sell records".

Kanye's TOP Five Hottest MC's In The Game

MTV News decided to ask Louis Vuitton Don, Kanye West his opinion about the Hottest MC's List. Here's what he had to say, "Like Jadakiss said, 'Top five, dead or alive", he responded. "To get to the point where I'm in the top five, it just feels good. It feels better than winning an award. Even though 'Can't Tell Me Nothing' isn't doing good on radio, I never had a 'hood anthem before."

He also gave a run down on his TOP Five Hottest MC's. He responded by saying, "I'm only gonna accept a couple of people being ahead of me. Only Two." So, here's the list.

1. Lil Wayne

2. Andre 3000

3. Kanye West (smh, he wasn't lying y'all)

"Jigga, Jigga That Cheap N*gga Jigga!": Lawsuit Alleges Jay-Z Pays 40/40 Workers Below Minimum Wage

According to the New York Post, a law suit filed back in May by a former waitress claims that Jay-Z pays his employees below minimum wage. However, Jay-Z feels that whatever management at the 40/40 Club does has nothing to do with him. Jay's lawyers argued that he and his partner Juan Perez are not employers and are simply shareholders at the club; asking the judge to dismiss the case. Now, Jay's lawyers tried to use the "b!tches are after my money because I'm a celebrity" claim. Well, Jay what drew them to work at the club was the fact that you are a celebrity! DUH! Just because you're not an employer doesn't mean your not responsible for what takes place at the club. The 40/40 wouldn't even have visitors if Jay's name wasn't attached to it.

"Do I Smell A Hater? Nah, It's Da Truth!": Calvin Klein (Not The Designer) Put's Jay-Z On BLAST!

Aight y'all Calvin Klein a former Brooklyn drug dealer who used to chill with Jay-Z back in the day appeared on DJ Kay Slay's show putting Jay on BLAST, saying that he's the one responsible for launching Jay-Z's career and that yes like the song Ether says, Jay-Z is indeed a fan, a phony, a fake, a pussy, and a Stan! Here's bits and pieces of his interview below. I didn't put everything he said because I know y'all ain't going to read it. LOL

“In the 80’s, Jay wasn’t trying to be a drug dealer he was tryna be a rapper but in order for him to transcend himself into this hell of a dude, he had to take characters from the 80’s like myself , said Klein. “ I give him 10% of his life that he talked about; I gotta give him something, [laughs]. He is from Brooklyn, he lived in Marcy Projects, his name is Sean Carter, he got that right.”

"To me Jay‘s a white boy on the inside , no offense to any white boys but to me he’s white boy on the inside and I’m waiting for time to tell what he’s gonna do with the outside of himself ,” He continued. “ I’m surprised he should have done himself a favor and pout me on his team . How you gon let Akon pull me in , official Konvict. Akon provided the chance and an opportunity for guys like myself , Jay could have done that out the gate but he didn’t.”

“People on the streets say Jay gave me a million dollars , Jay did that , there is no truth to that. Ty Ty’s been by Jay-Z’s side for so many years and I don’t believe he even got a million dollars and they started in 96 . Ty Ty just moved his moms out the project in 2005.There is no animosity cause I’m not broke ."

“Coming home and seeing what I see now , if you look at Dame Dash’s team and you look at Jay , Jay was a rapper/ partner but Dame was the one making all the deals happen, if you just take away Dame and just have Jay-Z as an artist, Jay would probably be close to a million. Look at Dipset , their artists have a lot while those on Jay’s side don’t have close to anything . Look at Bleek versus to what Santana has , Look at Ty Ty versus what Cam’ron has.I m not saying don’t like Jay the artist, I’m just questioning the person."

“Why are most of the artists at Def Jam on the shelf? Why is it about Jay-Z and his music?. Bring Bleek out. Let Bleek hold his own you don’t have to say Bleek don’t have to another drop album, I got him for life’. He can hold his own , he’s a man , let him come out with an album and get his ones and units up . Don’t give him nothing.”

Note: Ouchhhh, now that's DEEP. I already knew this was going to happen my homegirl put me on 2 months ago since she has sources linked to Jay. I always knew there was something fishy about Jay-Z, seriously give Jaz-O the credit he deserves. (smh) Let me find out Jay-Z is just as grimey like what's his name Puffy, P-Diddy whateva he calls himself nowadays.

Obama Rocks With VIBE

VIBE has gone political for the first time and I'm very proud of them because it's going to generate blacks,the young, hip-hop, and everyone else who reads the mag towards the election. Im so excited BARAK OBAMA graced the cover! He's not the first African-American to run for President, but he is the first to run against a woman, Hilary Clinton!! America ain't going to know what to do with themselves. I'm unsure of who I'm voting for because they both have really good ideas and campaigns (politicians are liars anyway) and I'm not picking Obama just because he's black that would be ignorant ... so, I have to see what else they can come up with to grab my attention. Well, tell me who y'all voting for and why??

"I Will Not Loose":Jay-Z Launching Multimedia Rocawear Ad Campaign

Rap mogul turned entrepreneur Jay-Z is launching a multimedia ad campaign promoting Rocawear clothing. The campaign is called "I Will Not Loose" which he explains to All Hip-Hop is "meant to inspire consumers while promoting Hip-Hop culture and the lifestyle supporting it". Now, you are looking at one smart Black boy. Like the song says, "Momma ain't raise no fool. Put me anywhere on God's green earth, I'll triple my worth. I, will, not, lose!" And he isn't lying, Jay-Z definitely knows how to make money without selling himself out, unlike his ex-partner Dame Dash; who I believe would endorse anything for some extra cash. The campaign is scheduled to drop Aug 15th on www.iwillnotloose.org. Celebrities showing their faces on the ads include Ciara, Chris Brown, Three 6 Mafia, Rich Boy, Tocarra, and more. I really wan't to say something about Tocarra, but I'm going to leave her alone for now since this is a positive subject.(lol) Y'all can also become part of the ad campaign by submitting videos telling your stories of survival. Two winners will be chosen and will be featured in Rocawear's Spring/Summer 2008 Campaign.

"Boo, Will You Marry Me?":Eddie Murphy Pops The Big Question

Its official Eddie Murphy has proposed to Tracy Edmonds. Eddie popped the question with a phat a$$ yellow diamond engagement ring. I'm wondering if Tracy will keep BabyFace's last name. How does this sound Tracy Edmonds Murphy? I'm not even going to lie, but it flows. But, Eddie you know you're wrong. You got Scary pregnant, dumped her, hooked up with Tracy, denied the baby was yours, and now you're getting married! Seems like it's always something new with this dude.

Alexis Phifer is Kanye West' stylist turned fiancee. I don't know about yall, but this is news to me. Kanye has an interview in Harpers Bazaar (the illest fashion magazine) talking about she kept him fresh. Well, I would hope so since he has decided to marry her. But, I must say Kanye has TASTE because she is really pretty. If being a stylist can get you a man like Kanye then I should have been styling instead of persuing a career in Journalism. (smh)

Konvict Muzik!!!!: Akon Working On Paris Hilton's Next Album

I don't know why anyone would want to work on an album with Paris Hilton, but I guess since she's so popular for doing completely nothing Akon sees some major dollar signs in his future. Shorty is so wack that Warner Bros. dropped her from their label. Now, my question to Warner Bros is, "Why da hell y'all signed her in the first place?" Akon recently explained to reporters his reason for wanting to work with the heiress on her next album. "In my mind I was thinking now Paris Hilton is an official convict, I think I'm gonna work with her and put a record out." Well, I guess that makes sense Akon!
