Now this is startin’ to get controversial. With the NYPD concerned about safety, Mayor Bloomberg addressed 50 Cent’s planned event on Aug 30 in Queens. Curtis told His Honor he may be in attendance, but he’s not performing. Now that’s a change of heart (no Game) for those who heard the War Angel mixtape.

Before the canceled Canadian dates (wait now Weezy’s claiming the sniffles?), AMW rolled through Concord Cali Saturday night. Jeezy continued to get his Ed Sullivan on and brought out the ambassador with the colorful language. It was only right. Fo’ shizzle.

As if 60 Minutes wasn’t enough, Russell Rush got M.V. to cry out to the Black folks who don’t watch the television news magazine. Grab your hanky, here he goes again. 

“Sitting in a prison cell didn’t make me feel remorse.  It was meeting so many animal lovers, speaking with them and looking them in their eyes. Staring at them.  Looking so deep into their eyes that I began to feel their pain. Allowing that pain to enter into my body is when I started to understand how bad it really was.   I have been trying hard to connect with people who feel this pain,because for my whole life I was disconnected from the suffering of animals.  And you might say, “come on Mike, how could you do those things to those dogs?”  And you’re right…I ask myself those questions every day.  What kind of person does this?  How does a human-being treat dogs or any animal with such pain and cruelty? And the hard part for me is the answer to these questions. Because the answer is ME.”

All of a sudden, the Pied Piper is everywhere. Here’s the R. Keri video. Plus the final official tracklisting. And fuck it, get your tickets to the fall tour. Not to mention the flossy festivities that went down last night in the Chi where all the Internet and magazine kings and queens were stripped of their phones and flip cams and invited into Kells’ mansion to hear the new album. Hopefully B.Dot won’t be too jet lagged to share his […]

Show Drake some respect when you see him, you T-Dot chumps. Props: 1515 Boys Also as he tweeted below. The surgery is now goin’ down after Labor Day. Word to Toronto.

Guess Poppa Joe finally wasn’t lying for once. MJ will indeed be laid to rest on August 29th at the famous burial site, Forest Lawn Memorial Park. Pretty crazy that it’s taken this long. Thankfully, his brain will be included.

Update: According to TMZ, his final resting place is in the Great Mausoleum section of the park. No go for public viewings.
