Damn talk about some vintage Fif. According to Nav this is an unreleased track that never saw the light of day. Definitely sounds like a young Curtis. Good shit you low budget critics.

Last week, Rihanna surprised L.A. with Eminem as they performed their duet “Love The Way You Lie”. Ri Ri tells Access Hollywood why she couldn’t resist hopping on the song which focuses on domestic violence.

“It’s something that, you know, we’ve both experienced, you know, on different sides, different ends of the table. He pretty much just broke down the cycle of domestic violence and it’s something that people don’t have a lot of insight on.I knew if he sent me a record there must be something to it. It couldn’t just be, ‘Oh, Duh! She was in that relationship so we have to get her.The lyrics were so deep, so beautiful and intense. It’s something that I understood, something I connected with”.

Un-hunh, here we go again! TMZ got the drop that DMX is returning to the slammer. The 90 day sentence stems from a 2002 driving conviction in Los Angeles. X was placed on probation, but violated the condition. Three weeks ago, he was released from an Arizona after serving four months on a probation violation. Most recently, he appeared on Busta Rhymes’ remix and was caught recording new material. Damn, Earl.

Kool Aid and frozen pizza? Sounds like a bad combination. But Mac proves otherwise with this new visual directed by Ian Wolfson. Hey kids, K.I.D.S. drops August 13th.
