Ice Cube & Common To Star In Are We There Yet? Sequel Titled Are We Still Going On About This?
from here:
The news may come as a surprise, as the two rappers are onetime rivals, when a war of words escalated to the point that Louis Farrakhan arranged a meeting to urge Cube and Common to resolve their differences.
A surprise? You mean to tell me two successful black rappers/actors might possibly film a movie together? I must have dreamt Soul Plane (and, oh please God, tell me that I did dream it and that it didn’t actually happen).
How long has it been since this completely unnecessary beef went down in the 90s? How many years does it take to get from the 90s to now? Does anyone know?
When was the last time you thought about the Common/Ice Cube beef? I’m guessing it was when you first heard The Bitch In Yoo and wondered which Korean had gotten Common’s panties all in a tizzied bunch (it couldn’t have been Richard Yoo, legal counsel to George W. Bush, because that hadn’t happened yet). Am I right?
I don’t know, maybe the beef was way more intense than I remember it. I know Farrakhan had to step in but I always looked at that as more an attempt by Farrakhan to get Ice Cube and Common to collaborate with him on a new St. Ides commercial track. It took me years to figure out that Farrakhan only drinks alcohol when no one is around to see him.
Here are a couple more things that are just as surprising:
1) Dustin Diamond not showing up for the People Magazine SBtB reunion cover shoot.
2) Dustin Diamond going bankrupt in 2001.
3) Everyone in the cast of SBtB going on to have respectful careers except for Dustin Diamond (and I’m including Elizabeth Berkley).

JAY-Z LAWSUIT WATCH: JAY JETTING ON BILLS?
from here:
TMZ.com reports that Jay-Z only paid Air Platinum Holding for 37 hours of service on one of its private jets. Leaving Jay-Z with a total of $137,485.00 owed for the remaining 18 hours (that amount also includes international fees, taxes, and more).
I think if you were able to go back in time and tell Jay-Z that one day he would be getting sued by a private jet company that he would’ve told you, “Yeah, I can see that,” because let’s be honest. If there is time travel right now the technology is super new and you would probably only be able to go back a few years and Jay-Z would still be super rich and famous. It would take years and years for the technology to be advanced enough for you to go back far enough in time to blow his mind.

THREE 6 MAFIA LESS IRRELEVANT THAN OWN HALF-BROTHER
from here:
Although the Academy Award-winning Three 6 Mafia has no ties in the matter, reports indicate that among the murders Craig Petties allegedy committed, one was a member of the underground Rap group, The Grenade Posse. The murder reportedly stemmed from a group member boasting of rival drug dealings.
Either HipHopDX.com is reaching for hip hop related news or Three 6 Mafia is so uninteresting that a half-brother is getting more attention than they are. I love the above quote that reads like a press release. That would be pretty awesome though. Their manager is so anxious to get someone talking about his artists that he starts releasing press announcements about family members.
Here’s a collection of possible press releases that Three 6 Mafia’s manager could release to get people talking about them again:
DJ PAUL’S (OF THREE 6 MAFIA) SISTER TO WED WEBSTER PARCELL
THREE 6 MAFIA ARGUED ABOUT BY SON OF JUICY J OVER HIGH SCHOOL LUNCH PERIOD
THREE 6 MAFIA RELATIVE NOT SURE HOW HE’S RELATED TO THREE 6 MAFIA

IN OTHER UNINTERESTING NEWS
from here:
The controversy surrounding the Queen Bee and the Barbie began when Kim addressed Minaj’s style and music in a interview with Kendra G, saying, “…if you’re gonna swagger jack somebody and take their style, at least pay the respect and the homage.”
I’ve never been more uninterested in anything than this bit of news. You’ve got Puffy talking about a new album and Lil’ Kim claiming that Nicki Minaj is biting her style (which basically amounts to two people dressing like each other).
When Biggie died, it was a tragic, tragic moment, but there was a shiny little bit of hope there that his death would mean that we wouldn’t have to hear from Lil’ Kim and Puffy anymore. I guess we were wrong. Who has to die to get rid of these people??

DRAKE’S A TRUE HEAD, LEAVE HIM ALONE!
from here:
“I used to be a real backpack rapper. That was my thing,” he said. “I even say on this album, ‘I’m just trying to kick it like Ali Shaheed and Phife Dawg / Because people really hate when a backpack rapper get rich or start living that life, dog.’”
PEOPLE!! Backpack rapping was his thing! I can remember watching all those behind the scenes Degrassi DVD extras where all of Drake’s cast mates would tease him about his backpack rapping. “Oh, Aubrey! You and your backpack rapping. You’re so funny!”
How many ways can Drake prove to you that he is a real backpack rapper?? How about in a song? Would that prove it to you? How about if he namedropped some Native Tongue members? You know, the guys that started the backpack movement? Now do you believe him?
“‘Find Your Love’ is the first time I’ve ever done something for the mainstream. ‘Successful’ is a Hip Hop record. ‘Best I Ever Had’ is a real hip-hop record. It’s a sample with some gritty drums. I’m rapping on there. It’s not a Pop record. Coin me as mainstream or Pop, man, I make real Hip Hop records.”
A Tribe Called Quest fan? CHECK. Sample and gritty drums? DOUBLE CHECK. Rapping? OMGCHECK!
“That’s one of the things that gets under my skin: when people say I’m not ‘doing it for Hip Hop,’” he added. ”Or that I’m not ‘as Hip Hop’ as so-and-so. ‘Cause there’s a lot of new kids that are coming out that are dope. Everybody makes it feel like they’re so much doper than me.”
I’ve got some advice for you Drake: IF YOU CAN’T STAND THE TWEAT THEN GET OUT OF THE TWITCHEN! You don’t have to prove to anyone that you’re a true head by namechecking hits by respected hip hop groups. Who cares what people think about you right? Just as long as you know that you are “real” inside, it doesn’t matter what they say. They can’t see inside you. They don’t know that you got a little backpack surgically implanted on your heart.
BUT I DO.
