First off, I wanna send an RIP shout out to the 21 victims who died
in the nightclub stampede back home in Chicago. My heart goes out
to all those who lost love ones in this tragic event.
Jay-Z Showtime Concert Still On
I dunno what’s
goin’ down with Tyson, but Jigga is still set to perform this
Saturday in Memphis. First, Iron Mike decided not to fight Clifford
“Black Rhino” Etienne because he had the flu. Now, Mike is saying
he wants to fight, but who knows what’s gonna happen. In any case,
you can catch Jay on Showtime this Saturday.

Eve’s clothing line, Fetish, will be marketed, designed, and
distributed through Innovo Azteca Apparel. Fetish will feature
contemporary juniors and misses styles, and will be carried in
department and specialty stores.
Russell Simmons & Mos Def
Appearing In Anti-War Ads
Russell and
Mighty Mos are speaking out on the possible war with Iraq in two
commercials sponsored by True Majority. Russell’s ad shows war
scenes along with dead bodies and injured children. Mos Def’s
commercial showcases government spending with the Pentagon budget
dwarfing the budgets for education, world hunger, and other pressing
issues. True Majority is an organization started by Ben & Jerry’s
Ice Cream co-founder Ben Cohen. You can check out the ads at
www.truemajority.com.
Cam’ron vs. NBA
Killa Cam is
pissed that the NBA left him out of the MJ tribute during half time
of the All Star Game. Cam was supposed to perform with Mariah Carey
during the half time show, but the NBA denied him because they don’t
get down with rap. Then, the league cited a lawsuit they filed
against Cam’s former label Untertainment because they used the NBA
logo with a gun in Jerry West’s hand for Cam’s S.D.E. album.
Finally, the NBA claims that they agreed with Mariah’s label to
exclude Cam because of a pending gun charge. Killa is not trying to
hear any of this, and is seeking some type of compensation. I think
the league should compensate by not allowing any ballplayers to come
out with albums unless they got skills on the mic, but that’s just
my opinion.
Mobb Deep Gets $10 Million Deal
The Infamous Mobb
now has a new home with Jive Records that should make Havoc and
Prodigy very rich. Jive gave the duo $10 million for signing, and
the deal is supposed to be a 50/50 split with the label. Mobb Deep
was previously rumored to be signing with Shady/Aftermath, but will
now be joining West Coast rap pioneers Too Short and E-40 on Jive.
Busta Rhymes
Quits Chronic
Busta Bus became
the latest MC to stop smoking weed recently. Busta had been puffing
for close to 20 years but is now smoke-free. Since Snoop announced
his “retirement” last year, Eminem and Xzibit have also recently
laid off the greenery.
