Say it ain’t so. Contrary to previous reports, Slate reveals that Roxanne Shante was never contractually signed to Warner Bros. In fact, there’s no proof that the label paid for her college education. She admits to the site that she is not a doctor nor has a license to practice psychology (or any related field) in NY state. Lucy Roxy, you got some esplainin‘ to do.

Cory posts up with XXL and talks about his upcoming Gangsta Grillz mixtape and life after last years Freshman cover. Towards the end of the interview, he says that he wants to achieve the same success as Michael Jackson and be mentioned with hip-hop’s elite. Get in line, young gunner.

Here’s another underwhelming track from the Bad Boy family. I’m sure after several hundred spins, it’ll “grow” on you. This that Dirty Money. And I need a shower. Download it here.

The Good News: Today, Good Morning America aired footage of Whitney Houston’s performance yesterday in Central Park. In front of 5,000 she ran through some oldies and goodies and even brought out her baritoned daughter, Lil Mama Bobbi Kristina to assist on “My Love Is Your Love.”  

The Bad News: Today, Good Morning America aired footage of Whitney Houston’s performance yesterday in Central Park. And to be frank, she sounded like shit. According to the NY Daily News, before performing “Every Woman” she said “I’m so sorry. I did Oprah. I’ve been talking for so long. … I talked so much, my voice. I shouldn’t be talking. I should be singing.” Chaka Khan is probably somewhere pissed. I Look To You is in stores now.

The bridge is over, my dick! In an interview with Street Disciplez Radio, MC Shan takes a #1…and a #2 on Joe Budden. Around the 1:20 mark, he challenges Mr. Tahiry to a fair one.

But, that’s where it stops. Surrounded by his Triple C cohorts, Ross commends Marshall for his verse on “Forever.” He still wants to battle him, but then goes onto say, “He might want to do a record with me.” Don’t count on it.

All red everything?

Conversation probably went a lil’ something like this: “Check this out, Ms. Rhone, you know how it go, first you put me out, then you get my son. Belee Dat! 100.”

Although he was never signed to the house that Russell and Rubin built, Slim Shady still is fittingly payin’ tribute in VH1’s upcoming tribute to Def Jam Records. Em joins other confirmed guests like Mary J. Blige, DMX and Public Enemy. Get the feeling “Jason from Miami” is gonna do an Uncle L tune? Hmm. Show airs Oct. 13. Score another one for Video Hits One.
