G.O.O.D. Single

2 DopeBoyz is reporting that G.O.O.D. Music is announcing the first single off their compilation album already. They are saying the first single will be called Lamborghini, Murci. Rumor has it that the single will include verses from Kanye, Pusha T and Big Sean. The track is supposed to be straight heat. It's produced by Lifted out of Phoenix, AZ. Sounds like fire to me. Again, a lot of things change as they get closer to coming to fruition. For now, there is no release date, so you'll have to just wait and salivate!

Comedy Concert of The Decade

This could simply be a rumor but it's so hot we have to talk about it. This has been the year of the super groups The Throne (Kanye & Jay), Nas & Com (Nas.Com), The Bedrock Boyz (Red Cafe & Fabolous) and potentially Drake & Wayne by years end. Now comedy is possibly picking up on the super group concept. It is a big rumor that Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock are going on tour together. That would be amazing and sold out everywhere they'd go. I don't wanna get too excited because it all seems like rumors right now. What would you call their group Rock Chappelle, CNR, DNC? What could be better Eddie Murphy and the Wayans Clan?

Miles Davis Honored

Nearly 20 years after his death and less than a year before we might loose the United States Postal service, Miles Davis is finally being honored with a commemorative stamp. I've never understood why they wait so long before honoring certain legends. By the time it hits circulation they just might be collectors items only. You can view the "Forever Stamps" on the postal services facebook, twitter, or on their website beyondtheperf.com.

Allen Iversons Problems Keep Coming

AI has been missing from the NBA for a few seasons now. He's been known to be a real problem and no team wanted to sign him. This is incredibly sad considering at one time he was one of the most respected guards in the league. He had a huge Reebok deal and a crazy salary. However, his off court and on court antics cost him a career and his excessive lifestyle. Last that we heard AI was over seas playing for Turkey but that didn't work out either and he's been back spending like he's still getting those checks. Recently, Iverson was sued for an unpaid jewelry bill of $375,000 to Aydin & Company in Atlanta. The jewelers sued Iverson and was awarded $859,896.46. Daaaammmmmnn AI you should've paid the bill the first time. Oh reminder, he still doesn't have any income.

Cory Gunz Caught Packin'

Isn't that ironic. Sometimes you have to realize that you can speak something into existence. Sometimes ones obsessive fantasy can become their reality. In this case, 24 yr old Cory Gunz was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon during a cab ride in NY. As Cory exited the cab two men approached in plain clothes. They seemed threatening and Cory didn't have a chance before Peter Gunz say the offers illegally searched him. Just as Cory is on the rise he catches a gun charge. Was that a publicity stunt? Peter Gunz insists that his son is not wrong. NY guns laws are really strict. According to the law on the books, if you manage to get caught with an un-registered gun it's manadory jail time, possibly 3 1/2 yrs. Good Luck To The Gunz'.

Rising star 2 Chains is looking to sign a deal with Def Jam. For those who don't know, 2 Chains has been around a while. He introduced himself as Tity Boi. Just as I've told all of the artists I have personally worked with you must have a marketable name and Tity Boy actually blows a lot of opportunities. Someone must have reached him and since he's gained a lot fans and attention as well as a possible major label deal. All new artists, pay ATTENTION! make yourself marketable.

Watch Out For The Ex's List

Wendy Williams broke news about a new reality show on the way called the Ex's List. The show is about famous ex-wives. So far Sheree Fletcher and Nicole Murphy are set to be part of the cast. Nicole Murphy is Eddie's ex-wife. Rumors have it that she is struggling financially. However, it take long for her to lure Michael Strahan, to whom she is engaged. Maybe that is part of the problem, she's still spending and acting like she still has Eddie's money. Being broke is part of her motivation but I'm sure that she would love to tell all of Eddie's dirt especially if she's getting paid. Sheree Fletcher is the ex-wife of Will Smith and the mother of his oldest son Tre. They married young and she has since remarried a pastor. No we know Willie was wild but she's now the pastors wife. She should be doing pastors wife things not reality TV. Besides, what could be interesting about her...unless she has been creepin with Big Willy still after all these years, belongs to a swingers club, strips on the down low because the Pastor don't Big Willie money and Tre ain't really a Smith. Now I would watch that! Pass the popcorn and a cherry Dr. Pepper and let the show begin!

Slick Nick Is Easin Back In On 'Em

We reported a few weeks ago that Nick Cannon was hospitalized for kidney failure. TMZ reported that he had some complications but no details have been released. Nick is really worked to death. He has a daily radio show in NY, a satellite radio show, America's Got talent, a management company, a tv show and he is the president of the Teen Nick network. Let's also not forget that he is a husband and a father of twins. Not to mention that he is also droppin new singles off of an upcoming and untitled new album. He's finally out and about after his recent health scare. Here is Nick climbing out of his Lambo.

Ri Ri Is Going Hard

"Little Miss Sunshine" as Hov called her, is flipping the script and going hard. Rihanna tweeted a pic of her at an LA tattoo parlor getting a new tat. We all have seen that she's become a "tataholic" adding new tattoo's all of the time. She recently, had THUG LIFE tatted on her knuckles. That seems a little much for the R&B/Pop diva. We can't confirm whether it's real or temporary. If it's real, all I can say is Daaaaaaaaaamn RiRi! Yeah, yeah, yeah she's so hard!

Jay Z's 40/40 Club Is Shut Down

Jay Z's 40/40 clubs are one of the dopest upscale sports clubs in NY. Great layouts, memorabilia, plenty of big screens, fly ass furniture and just the overall dope environment. The food is a little spendy but it's totally worth it. However, the management decided to shut down and remodel. In fact, the grand re-opening was pushed back to a month after it was there trying to get in LMAO. After recent reports I'm glad it was. According to the NY Post just 24 hrs after their re-opening the health board shut down the restaurant for several violations. Some of the infractions listed were food wasn't properly refrigerated, hot food wasn't kept heated to the correct temperature and employees were allowed to prepare food without hairnets and gloves. Ron Berkowitz, spokesman for the 40/40, told TMZ that there weren't many violations. The problems were the result of a blown refrigerator motor. He claims the problem has been rectified and the club is back to business. Word on the curb though is that before the club closed they were cited for 39 violations. Sounds like a bigger problem than just a blown refrigerator motor.

Oh Me So ...Healthy?

Did I hear this right? The man once banned from the radio, and from performing in several venues has been asked to be a spokesman for a medical product? WTH is that? Mr. Pop That Coochie is promoting a medical product. What. medical marijuana? What does Luther Campbell know about anything medicinal and legal? It seems to me like a wrong fit but the company says they feel he is the right candidate for the Executive Spokesman for Progressive Care Inc. Luke has been involved with HIV/AIDS activism in the Southern Florida region. Progressive Care will be opening new care facilities in Opa Locka and Miami with a focus on HIV/AIDS treatment and care. Maybe he'll do better than we think. Although, Uncle Luke is not exactly the first person most people would think of as serious advocate for any medical company. Hopefully it's all for the right reasons. 2 Live Crew just announced that they are back together and will be touring this year. Seriously, I am glad he is stepping up to the call. Salute Uncle Luke. #PopThatPrescription

At Piece, At Last

Legendary singer Etta James Passed away after complications with Leukemia on January 20th. She was diagnosed with terminal Leukemia just a month prior. She was 73 years old and left behind a husband and two sons Donto and Sammetto. Both sons started performing with her in 2003, Donto on drums and Sametto on bass. Her life was definitely that of a movie. You could see a glimpse of what it was like in the movie Cadillac Music. Etta, who's real name is Jamesetta Hawkins, was a troubled soul. However, she wrote some classic records "At Last", "Tell Mama", "Dance With Me" and "I'd Rather Go Blind". R.I.P. to another fallen legend, who's legacy will continue to live on.

Is It A Seal'd Deal?

Sources say that celebrity couple Heidi Klum and Seal are divorcing over irreconcilable differences. This comes as a shock to many since they've always seemed to be a very solid couple. They speak so highly of one another and their family/family values. Could this be just another Will and Jada farce? However, where there is smoke there is fire but I hope they can work it out.

A Reunion Of America's Favorite Family Of The 90's

We often wonder...where are they now? Well, here is part of the cast of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Notice, there is no Jeffrey (Joseph Marcell) or a mother. We don't know why Jeffrey isn't there but the mother situation is interesting. There were two mothers during the shows run. The first mother was Janet Hubert. She is very angry even all of these years later that she was fired "for no damn reason". According to TMZ she will "never work with that a**hole" referring to Will Smith. What did Big Willy do? She claims they didn't get a long and it's his fault she was replaced. Her replacement came in season two with Daphne Maxwell Reid. She was a much better fit to the cast, don't you agree?

Odd Future's Sid The Kid Outs Other Female Stars

Odd Future is definitely odd to say the least. Their leader, Tyler The Creator, has been under fire for his use of the word "faggot" and other gay slurs. Several people are up in arms about his free use of the word like V-Nasty using the word "nigga". He and his group members have been called homo-phobes. Oddly enough, again pardon the pun, OF's Sid The Kid is a lesbian who is now calling out other female stars in the industry. Saying Missy Elliott, Queen Latifah and even Alicia Keys needs to come out. WOW!!! What did we miss. We knew about the first two but AK47. She plays for the other team too! Daaaaammmmnnn! Say it isn't so.

Who's Next To Start A Clothing Line? Nicki Minaj

Yes Roman is back in the cage long enough for Ms. Pretty In Pink to create her own clothing line. It is rumored that Nicki Minaj will jump into the fashion designing industry. It's only seems fitting (pardon the pun) with her boss launching his new line of clothes, Trukfit, last week. Her manager has confirmed that she's in talks with several designers but will not disclose a future name. We all have seen Nicki Nick's wild fashion sense. I could imagine what some of the designs will look like. Let's look back at some of Nicki's outrageous outfits!

Beats By Dre Cuts The Cord

At the end of this year, Beats By Dre and Monster Cable will part ways. Jimmy Iovine says it was always in the plan to create a strong viable company that could stand on it's own. The original deal was a 5 year deal that is now coming to a close. In that time frame, not only have they become the most popular headphone company but now they have several other products from the Beats Box, their deal with Chrysler, a deal with HP and HTC buying a majority share of 51% for $300 million dollars. The brand has grown so quickly that Iovine says they have to be nimble. However, this was always the plan. The company seems to thrive. The first Beats store opened in SOHO back November. Jimmy Iovine had a lot to say except who they'll be working with. They're pretty tight lipped about that. It's reported that Beats is responsible for more than $500 million of the headphone sales.

Mama Jones Is At It AGAIN

Nancy Jones aka Mama Jones (Jim Jones') mother and Co-star of Love And Hip Hop has had a beef with Olivia since the "engagement party". Since then something has really gone wrong between the two.

I don't know what got into her but it's apparently on now. Olivia responded, check their tweets.

J.Cole Goes Platinum

Jay Z keeps on winning. He found a very talented young artist named Jermaine Lamarr Cole better know as J.Cole from Frankfurt, Germany who had some very impressive talents. The guy had an incredible spit game, nice flow, and he makes his own music TOO! He had a few mixtapes out that caught Jay's attention but this new album is really dope. In fact,it's so dope that he just went platinum and sold over 200,000 units the first week. That is very unusual in this climate. In addition, he's being nominated for "Best New Artist". MTV spoke with Jay about his thoughts on his protege and his nomination.

50 Ain't That Crazy

There were rumors circulating that 50 Cent made a very "suicidal" statement on twitter. Fif said "I may not live very long, life is short" and many ran with that saying he's suicidal. A brotha with that much money and success being suicidal. I don't think so! He's having too much fun making Mo Money, Mo Money, Mo Money! In fact he took time out of his schedule to back to CES and show off his new headphones. Last time he could only show photos. This time he could take the actual product and clarify some suicidal twitter rumors. Check out my man Fif.

While in the ER he tweeted “I still didn’t let you take my chain fake killer, I was like if you kill me you gotta snatch my chain off my dead neck U B**CH U,”. This should be a lesson to all flashy rappers going into low income ghetto neighborhoods, they risk losing their lives over material things because they choose to flaunt in front of several hungry and desperate folks. Choppa says he is right back in the studio working on a mixtape from a wheelchair.

Ludaversal Album On The Way
