Good grief, at this rate you’d think a record label was overseeing the burial. According to CNN, MJ’s funeral service has been changed from his birthday to September 3rd. His final resting place remains at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park.

What better way to cap off the week than with another installment of Jay Rock’s month of madness. They do it for hip-hop. You do it for a check. I do it for both.

 

Tony Yayo Feels Sorry For Young Buck

Don’t get it twisted. Pity is way worse than hate. Here the Talk of New York expresses some remorse over G-Unit’s estranged solider, Young Buck.

 

“Shout to Young Buck,” Yayo said standing in the G-Unit offices earlier this week. “I wish you was with us, getting some money, living the life.”

Has Yayo’s stance actually softened towards Buck after all this time? His response to the Cashville rapper’s recent words on cyberspace was, “When I see it, I feel a little sorry for him, because he could be taking the same advantages I’m taking.”

“Buck, I think he’s at a point where financially, I don’t think he got it, homie,” Tony explained. “What are you doing? I don’t see him anywhere. Even when you don’t see me, Yayo’s in Peru getting a nice check with 50. You can call it whatever you wanna call it; I’m still buying cars, Louis glasses, Porsches. If Buck was around, he would still have these outlets available to him.” 

Sorry, David Brown.

Jazzy Jeff Cosigns "DJ Hero"

“If you get really good at DJ Hero, run to the music store and buy a turntable and a mixer because you definitely may have a career.”

Miss Info broke this about a month ago, but one of the coolest things about the upcoming “DJ Hero” video game is the inclusion of Jazzy Jeff. With all due respect to Kid Capri, Jeff is my favorite behind the two turntables. And I can’t front, the game looks interesting and Mr. Townes is a helluva salesman. I’m in.

Looks like another hip-hop couple have parted ways. NY Daily News started it and now it’s all over the Internets that Ashanti broke it off with Cornell over his cheating ways. MediaTakeout got a flick of his alleged jump-off. My name is Bennett and I ain’t in it.

Hope you crazy kids can work it out. If not, it wasn’t meant to be. Got it? Good. Hey, where’s Irving at? Ha!

New Video: Mary J. Blige “Stronger”

I went in on this song on Twitter the first time I heard it. And, let’s just say, I’m still not a fan of it. But it does appear to work better in the context of LeBron James’ upcoming documentary, More Than A Game. But if I was MJB, I’d re-name my album and leave this song here. It’s not too late, Kendu.

Now how would I know if this is true? Ha!

Seriously, even if it was, Bunyan wouldn’t cop to it this early. Matter of fact, let’s just pretend I didn’t post this. OK? Thanks.
