Wyclef was the latest Combat Jack Show guest and here is what you missed:

Sak passe Internets!!! This week, Grammy award-winning and former Haitian presidential candidate Wyclef Jean sets the record straight about the #YELE charity organization accusations, the Ducati and pum pum shorts incident, intimate music making moments with Lauryn Hill, carrying Haiti on his back, the legacy of the Fugees and drops a freestyle that you’ll need Rosetta Stone to decipher through. Please remember, it’s #YELE not #YOLO!

While down in the A, J.Cole visited DJ Drama. While discussing Born Sinner and his joint project with Kendrick Lamar, he weighed in on MTV’s Hottest MC List and his exclusion.

“I don’t know, but I don’t really give a fuck.  It is what it is. Think about it, from what they say, it’s the past year, I’ve had a quiet year. I should be on there. I don’t give a fuck, DJ Drama.  They’re fucking dead and I’m gonna kill them. We shouldn’t talk about this anymore. They want this. Fuck these guys. Future doesn’t even give a fuck about Kanye. They don’t even interrupt each others’ lives and they’re not competing on the same level.”

Break 1: Talks MTV List, “Power Trip”, and how Hov wanted him to keep the verse he recorded for Lil Wayne’s Dedication 4.

Break 2: Talks CIAA weekend, past projects and working with Missy.

Break 3: Talks basketball, reassures joint album with Kendrick Lamar and more.

Lupe was recently named creative director and investor for a new health and wellness app, Higi. Down in SXSW, he spoke on the launch with Billboard yesterday.

“When I first checked in I was 160 [pounds] and my score was something like 760. I checked in today, and I was 155, but even though I lost 5 pounds I wasn’t active in my social activity enough and my blood pressure was a little high… It shows you how weight and wellness aren’t the same thing. You can be super fit and super depressed because you’re not interacting with your social network. You could work out and work out, but that doesn’t really translate to how happy you are in life. You could be at home super happy, super comfortable, just logging in to your computer all day, but your body is paying for it.”

After duking it out in the streets, 40 Glocc is taking his battle with Game into the courtroom. According to TMZ, 40 filed a lawsuit against Chuck for their bout this past summer.

He claims Game and his entourage threatened to shoot him. Paperwork also states that 4o suffered injuries to his eye, ribs, kidneys, right shoulder and back.

40 is suing for unspecified damages — but we’re guessing he wants MILLIONS … not only for assault and battery … but he also feels Game tarnished his thug reputation by portraying him as a coward on the YouTube video

UPDATE: $4.5 million to be exact. Sheesh. TMZ has the scoop.

Here’s the breakdown:

– $500,000 in pain and suffering
– $500,000 in emotional distress
– $750,000 in lost earnings
– $2 million for punitive damages
– $25,000 in medical expenses
– Various other stuff

Despite being behind bars, Lil Boosie recently graduated from the Angola State Prison GED program. Although he beat his murder charge, he is currently doing a eight year bid on drug charges.

Add another one to the list of MCs unhappy with MTV’s results. This afternoon, Pusha called up DJ Semtex. After revealing some of the producers that will be featured on his upcoming album, My Name Is My Name, he expressed his disappointment about being omitted from the Hottest MC list. Hell hath no fury like a rapper scorned.
