Kendrick dialed up Flex to speak on how the remix with Jay-Z came about. He reveals Hov sent his verse in first before he recorded his and that they will only be on a few shows together for Yahoo’s upcoming tour. K-Dot also touched on taking MTV’s Hottest MC list and Kanye’s controversial opinion.

Between his associates and TMZ’s stories, Lil Wayne’s health condition remains a mystery. This afternoon, Birdman called Angie Martinez on Hot 97 to clear the air.

He says that Tune only suffered one seizure and that he was present when it happened. He also denies it being drug related but due to work exhaustion. TMZ now says Weezy’s been stabilized.

The artist formally known as Melvin Flynt and N.O.R.E. made his debut this week on The Combat Jack Show. Below is a synopsis of the episode.

This week, we welcome the Super Thug aka N.O.R.E. and get to the bottom of the long standing “beef” between P.A.P.I. and “super attorney” Reggie Ossé. Noreaga speaks on his history with Mobb Deep, Notorious B.I.G., Tragedy, Capone, Chris Lighty and other rap luminaries. Plus, Nore tells us about his trip to the fat farm to visit the late, great Big Pun. Get ready for Combat!!!

The official audio hasn’t been released yet. But currently in Austin for SXSW, K-Dot briefly touches on having his new tour partner on his upcoming ”Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe” remix with MTV.

“Ah, man, I can’t really speak too much on it, I just know it’s in the air right now. I can’t — it’s under wraps. It’s all love. That’s the big homie. It’s one of them things, you know, you live up to and one of them moments to really challenge yourself and say ‘OK, that’s how I come in. Always looked up to the greats to be a great.’ So to actually be on a track with him, it’s an accomplishment.”

Here we go again. For a third time, Waka Flocka and Gucci Mane are going their separate ways. No reasons were given, but Gucci tweeted that Waka has been dropped from 1017 Brick Squad Records.

Waka flacka flames officially dropped off brick squad 1017. Big Guwop say give me a offer fa this disloyal lil nigga

Waka reacts:

Somebody tell Gucci Mane 2 SUCK A DICK. We BSM. Can’t tweet beef #HucciKnowHowIrOck

During SXSW, Yahoo announced their first international music festival with Hova and King Kendrick as headliners. Dubbed as Yahoo! On The Road, the 21-stop trek begins begins May 3 in New York.

The tour continues in the states with J.Cole, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Justin Timberlake, Frank Ocean and Trey Songz will be added to the string of UK shows July 9-14. All aboard.

Jay-Z is partnering with film director, Baz Luhrmann to executive produce and record music for the upcoming film, The Great Gatsby.

According to Reuters, Jay will blend contemporary music with hip hop for its soundtrack. The film based off F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel starring Leonardo DiCaprio hits theaters May 10. Says Jay:

“As soon as I spoke with Baz and Leonardo, I knew this was the right project. The Great Gatsby is that classic American story of one`s introduction to extravagance, decadence and illusion. It`s ripe for experimentation and ready to be interpreted with a modern twist. The imagination Baz brought to `Moulin Rouge` made it a masterpiece, and `Romeo + Juliet`s` score wasn`t just in the background; the music became a character. This film`s vision and direction has all the makings of an epic experience.”

After Joey and Tahiry shared their sides to the story, Cons called up Angie Martinez today to speak on both confrontations, the reason for the slap and claims to have had possession of Joe’s phone allegedly containing some interesting texts. Guess there really is 3 sides to a story.
