VIBE has learned that Charles Hamilton was released from Long Beach Medical Center last week after staying seven days. No word on his current whereabouts. Get cha mind right, kid.

[sparkart-clique site=”rap_radar” video=”joe_budden_qanda”] Following Joey’s performance, he held a forum James Lipton style. He spoke on his lyric book and said that he plans to re-release the project with a hardcover and include insight and photographs.

After releasing a shitload of music last week, Slim Thug satisfies his addiction and drops off a recording over Waka’s beat. This and “B.M.F.” have to be tied for most used instrumental this year. Damn you Lex Luger.

While Joe Budden was holding court at S.O.B.’s Jay-Z stopped by Angela Yee, Mike Kyser, and Deirdre Maloney‘s bowling party at Chelsea Piers. But Hov didn’t come alone. In the house, was Chris Paul, Usher, Robin Thicke, Beyoncé…and French Montana. Bizarre, right? In the midst of the festivities, MTV’s Jayson Rodriguez celebrated his born day and Beyoncé heckled at my bowling skills. The nerve. Ha! Additional flicks after the jump. What a night.
