Contrary to reports, “Shining Down” is not the first single from Lupe Fiasco’s “final” album, Lasers. I’m starting to believe Twitter is the new press release.

MTV reports that Public Enemy are in talks to produce a full length animated movie based on their comic book.

“The first ‘Public Enemy’ graphic novel collection comes out in May and there is a lot of interest from Hollywood…It would definitely be animated,” our source confirmed. “There is lots of talking going on.”

The irony is that Flav’s already a cartoon, so it’ll be intresting to see how they pull this one off.

T-Pain returned to Lil Wayne’s I Am Music tour on Sunday and admitted rumors of his golf cart accident were true.

If you don’t know who Bill Withers is then go do your research. OK I’ll help you a lil’ bit. Dude is one of my favorite musicians of all-time so needless to say I’m amped about this upcoming documentary on him. Apparently, it debuted out in Austin during SXSW but I missed it. Where the fuck I was at? I lost!

Apparently, Dukie is being charged with swagger jacking in the first degree. Allegedly, he ripped the track “Shinin'” from producer Black Spade and is claiming it as his own. Hit the jump to read an email Spade sent Fresh Selects regarding the fuckery.

Don’t think there’s ever been so much female rap royalty in one place. Missy, Lil Kim, Yo-Yo, Rage, MC Lyte all pay respect to her royal highness at her born day bash last night. Look at Ms. Whitaker gettin’ her hostess on—that’s my Miss Rap Supreme. Ha! 

Thanks to producers Cool and Dre’s twitter for the tip. Ha!

On the hunt for good performance footage and will add when I find it.

Friday night, Keri Hilson was on Jimmy Kimmel and she brought her lil ass-slappin’ buddy, Lil Wayne a.k.a. the #1 rapper in the game. Hey, I’m just statin’ facts I didn’t put him there. Anyway, watch the king of Late Night bust out Birdman Jr. for his raunchy lyrics. Who knows what Wayne ever says, right?

As you can see, this is the debut of the RR TV Tuner cards. That’s right, Rip Game Proper (Telemundo Style). Step to the rear, Mr. World Premiere. Ha! I’m just jokin’. Jokes! No shots as you kids say.

Contrary to popular belief, William H.’s ugly ass sweaters weren’t Coogis. Sorry B.I.G. They were in fact handmade creations by Dutch designer, Koos van den Akker. VBS.tv went “Behind The Seams” and spoke to the man himself in a three part series.
