In this week's Pulse Report, the streets are buzzing about The Game recycling his album cover for The Doctor's Advocate, Lil' Wayne and Trina's tattoos and Freddie Foxxx's diss song to Rakim.

1. Game recycles Documentary cover for The Doctor's Advocate. Wow! For as much caca as I speak in this column, I'm damn near speechless. Why Game, why? Reduced budget? Is the ink from his butterfly tat seeping into his brain? Ladies and gentlemen, Game's cover for his soon to be released, The Doctor's Advocate bares a striking resemblance to the one for his debut, The Documentary. There's hardly any change. The cover is black rather than white, Game is sitting on platinum tires instead of gold ones, his head is down rather than lifted up and he's sitting a bit to the left. That's it! Oh, and he's rocking beige khakis rather than black pants, revealing his underwear. Bet you them is the same drawls he wore for the first cover's photo shoot too. Ewwwwww!

2. Lil' Wayne and Trina tattoos exposed. Funny that this former couple's tattoos should be revealed on a week where Trina is spotted dutty wining on some dude and Weezy is unveiled as Solange Knowles' main squeeze. Apparently the self-proclaimed baddest chick got "Wayne" tattooed on her wrist while she was with the New Orleans rapper. Word is Weezy reciprocated by tattooing Trina's name on his left hand's ring finger, the same finger that now allegedly caresses Solange's ...whatever. Yes, Weezy ain't too bad on the boards, oops, broads. Solange is apparently his rebound. Not bad, sir. Not bad.

3. Freddie Foxxx strikes again. Only days after Foxxx called out Rakim, a track was released onto the streets and internet. While Nas has been heralded as the second coming of Ra since he began buzzing in the early 90s, Bumpy reveals that the God actually wasn't too fond of the Queens lyricist. "Boom, I see doom / for all these Rakim fans in the motherfuckin room / Sorry for the let down, but here's a fact / Eric B. wanted Nas and Ra said he was wack / Jesus was black / so Nas you ain't God's son cause he won't do the track / I'm telling you fact." Daaaaammmnnn, Bumpy!

4. Timbaland to work with Duran Duran. Timbo is bored with rap. Can anybody tell? First Nelly Furtado, then Justin Timberlake and now, Mr. Mosley is set to work with legendary pop group Duran Duran. "This is the best thing that could have happened to us. It relights your fire, baby," Duran's lead singer Simon Le Bon told the New York Daily News. "[Timbaland] works very quickly. We're usually slow as snails. It's quite a challenge, and we had to change the way we play, really. Particularly me. I had to be able to come up with ideas very quickly on the microphone. Just do it. Have new lyrics the next day - or that evening." Word is collabos with Timberlake, Gnarls Barkley and will.i.am may also take place.

Unless I was high on H2O, that's exactly what Chamillionaire said at his platinum party last night. The announcement arrived while he was presenting his customary "from nothing to something" testimony. Thankfully, that wasn't even the best part of his speech. Cham, not surprisingly, had a message for Mr. Paul Wall.

"There ain't no beef," said the Koopa emphatically...5 times. "All that shit is dead. You won't hear anything that even sounds like a subliminal come out of my mouth. If you hear something that sounds like it was a subliminal shot, it's not. Just to let y'all know ahead of time." He then proceeded to give a shout out to Slim Thug, Mike Jones, Bun B, Pimp C, and of course, Paul Wall. You had to be there to see the crowd's approval when he said "Shout out to Paul Wall."

Then, looking up as if something had suddenly smashed him over the head, Cham realized he had forgotten one person.

"Shout out to Lil' Flip. I know a lot of people hate on Flip, but he ain't did nothing to me. He was on my album."

He also performed his Flipperachi-assisted hit single, "Turn it Up," after informing the crowd that "this was the one that took me to 500,000. A lot of people forget about this one. But, this is the one that started it all."

The best part of his set that night, however, was the well-executed rendition of "N Luv With My Money" from the much-referenced Chamillionaire/Paul Wall collaborative effort, Get Ya Mind Correct. (You know what, I should review that album here one of these days.)

Killer Mike, Lil O, ESG, and Big Hawk's wife were all presented with Sound of Revenge platinum plaques.

I'll have some pictures from the event for you later in the day.

For now, go watch a drunk-as-hell Beyonce and Jay-Z get harassed by paparazzi in the U.K.

"You and Me Gurl We Can Do The Thang...We Can Do The Thang, We Can Do The Thang" --Sammie

A word to the wise, fellas. If you throw on "You Should Be My Girl" in the presence of a female then you've done good. The ladies are loving this joint, and if you made it to the For Sister's Only event yesterday (Oct. 10) then you already know what I'm saying to you is true

Why am I talking about this track? Well, Sammie released his self-titled album yesterday despite the fact that nobody was really talking about it. It's somewhat surprising considering how hot his song is right now. It's easy to see why Dallas Austin signed him to Rowdy Records.

Sammie also has production on the album from producers Daron Jones, Jazze Pha, Bryan Michael Cox, Dallas Austin, Dre & Vidal.

Also, the 4th Quarter TJ’s DJ’s Tastemakers Only DJ/Music Conference is set to take place Thursday, October 26. There will be 1,200+ DJs, artists, labels, models, producers, media outlets, and other Tastemakers at The Moon for this event.

This is also Florida A&M University's homecoming. FAMU’s Homecoming draws close to 100,000 thousand alumni and double that many "non-alumni" but it should be a good weekend in Tallahassee.

Once again, don't forget to log onto TeenMusic.com this today at 6pm EST/3pm PST to chat live with DTP's Lady of Soul Shareefa!

It was a little over a decade ago that Cool Breeze and The Dungeon Family started screaming out "What you ni66a's know about the dirt sooouth..."

Now, a decade later we have "The Dirty Awards" to celebrate the crowning of kings. Yep, The 2nd Annual Dirty Awards have finally arrived in the A. The awards quietly crept up on us this year though, for whatever reason there wasn't as much advertising done on it like last year's event. However, it's still expected to sell out (and that's at $75 a ticket).

(Click here to read the list of nominees)

There will be performances by 'Dro, Rick Ross ("I'm in the White House" is my joint right now, too), Cherish, and Yung Joc. Who said Diddy might be there? Even if he's not you can look for most of the major artists in the south to be in the building like they were last year..

The show will also be hosted by Earthquake so you already know the crowd will be on one the whole night. Can you see the difference MTV? Earthquake or Black Jack or Jack Black...whatever man you feel me.

Outkast will deservedly get The Living Legend award this year and Dallas Austin will be presented with The Humanitarian award this year (I don't even want to hear it, kinfolk does alot for the community).

Stand up ATLanta this is our day because this was our year ONCE again. Read about it.

You coons down South do nothing but eat fried chicken, greens, and cornbread. And what is it with this red flavored Kool-Aid? It's strawberry B. Word up. And just wait a few more years. We'll be back on top. Word is bond son. You jigaboos get ready to take your L like a man my duke.

You let your Moms...oh let me talk the way you all talk B. You let your Mama keep cooking that fried chicken, and okra and tomato casserole, and red flavored Kool-Aid. Don't forget to have something spicy. You know how you porch monkeys like your food hot. In New York it's Chinese take out all day my dude. I bet the South has never tasted soy sauce B!!!

Peace out. One.

Jay and Beyonce in Africa this week

I'm convinced Hov is leaking his own tracks himself. He still has over a month till his album drops and this is joint #2 to get out. It's called "Kingdom Come". I also heard his whole album has leaked and some radio stations are sitting on the tracks till a little later. That would be quite messed up for Jay if true. So after hearing this and "Show Me What You Got," is it still safe to say Hov is the best rapper alive? Speak on it...

Here's some more pics from Jay and B's trip to Tanzania:

You can get more pics over at YBF. Jay also worked with NASCAR stars Danica Patrick and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. for his "Show Me What You Got" video. MTV has the pics.

@ "The Late Show With David Letterman" on Monday night (Oct. 9)

Diddy told SOHH last week that he didn't write much on albums in the past, but he wrote "a lot more" on Press Play. Are we really surprised though? He called in the writing troops while working on No Way Out, Forever, and The Saga Continues. So he likely didn't even write most of his new LP, just "a lot more" than nothing. Diddy is a funny dude. He's also saying he wants this album to be his last one because since he's talking about love, he wants to end it on a good note. We've head it all before though.

You can listen to Press Play in its entiretly over at MTV. Nice.

Check out Snoop and R. Kelly's new joint "That's That Sh!t" produced by Nottz and Dre for Snoop's Tha Blue Carpet Treatment here.
