Jermaine Dupri Talks Presidency, Janet, Usher, and MC!!
Wednesday. 2.28.07 12:41 pm
Atlanta’s own Jermaine Dupri, called into the Funk Flex Show in NYC last week to clear up all the rumors about JD’s new job as President of Island Def Jam records. He talks everything from Mariah, to Usher, to even Janet Jackson. Now that Janet’s contract is officially over at Virgin, could she be moving over to Island Def-Jam?
I don’t know, but would that be a good look for the Island Def Jam to having to ballad powerhouse(ish) MC, and Pop Leader(ish) Janet on the same label? And whatever happened to that damn duet that was supposed to happen between the two?
Talk to Y'all lata,

This picture has been all over the internet and I wanted to post it to get you guy’s opinion on it. Firstly, I know it has nothing to do with Hip-Hop but since T.O. does have a home here in Atlanta, I figured I could some how find a correlation to post it.
This picture was taken in Las Vegas for the NBA All Stars. In the picture you can see Dallas Cowboy player Terell Owens and NBA player Amare Stoudemire being photographed together. When I first saw this shot, I was hit instantly with one thought. I want to see if it’s just me or do you see what I see?
A penny for your thoughts please,

Daily Hip-Hop News:50 Cent's Baby Mama "Out to Get Rich"

50 Cent
50 Cent is reportedly taking steps to protect his fortune from the mother of his son, Marquise.
According to New York's Daily News, 50 recently filed papers in Family Court to help clarify child support arrangements paid to his child's mother. While 50 (born Curtis Jackson) has always provided financial support for his child, he and Marquise's mother, Shaniqua Tomkins, previously lacked an official arrangement. Friends told the Daily News the recent move was prompted by Tompkins' demanding displays of greed.
"It was just getting so out of hand. It was driven by greed. He felt it was necessary to get a court order making clear just what his responsibility is. He took matters into his own hands. It's usually the woman who files. But he wants to do the right thing," an unidentified friend of 50 told the Daily News. "50 has always provided for his kid. His son's mother is now making unreasonable demands, which seem to have no limits."
50 and Tompkins once lived together, but the couple parted ways five years ago. According to one friend, 50 purchased a home for Tompkins in Long Island "so Marquise could be in a good school district."
"He's paying a lot of child support. He takes [Marquise] on vacations. He just took him to L.A., where they saw Eminem together. He met Justin Timberlake and Timbaland in Miami. He took him to the NBA All-Star Game in Vegas. He sees his son very frequently. When he's on the road, he brings him out," 50's friend was quoted in the Daily News.
"Curtis puts his son's needs first. His son is well loved and taken care of. Anything else is a private family and legal matter," said Cindi Berger, spokeswoman for 50.
Sources are currently speculating that Tompkins may seek palimony. She recently hired upscale lawyer, Raoul Lionel Felder, who told the Daily News, "Ms. Tompkins is going to get more than fifty cents, I can tell you that."

Daily Hip-Hop News:Paul Wall, Rich Boy Set To "Throw Some Ds" at Texas Car Show

Paul Wall
Radio One Inc. and Dallas' 97.9 "The Beat" are gearing up to present their 3rd annual Custom Car Show and Concert later this month.
The event will be held at Fair Park in Dallas, TX on March 18, and will feature performances by a host of artists, including Yung Joc, Ciara, Rich Boy, New York-bred newcomer Mims, and Texas sons Paul Wall and Chamillionaire. More artists are also being added to the bill but have not been revealed as of yet.
In addition to the performances, the event, which is being targeted to families and persons ranging in age from 18-54, will also include a custom car show and sounds display and a Lowrider car-hopping contest. In recent years, the event has attracted over 11,000 people.
Throughout all the “drama” that has been swirling around DJ Drama lately. He’s still trucking forward with his solo project. His new song has leaked online, and ironically its called “Feds Takin Pictures”.
I’m not sure what I think about it. I know one thing is for sure, I am so damn sick and tired of these tracks being released with 50 rappers on the track. Back in the day when shit like that happened (i.e. Black Rob’s “Whoa Remix”) it was special because it was original. But now that it’s gone trendy, thanks to Fat Joe, and that damn “Lean Back-Remix”. So far this year we’ve heard The Game’s “One Blood” that had every rapper on the track. We also heard Outkast’s “Hollywood Divorce” which also featured like thirty rappers. And now this shit! Where is the originality???????????
Oh well its Friday, so I digress. Well, its officially the weekend! How many people gonna be at the Lupe Fiasco and Roots concert on Sunday? Well trust and beleive that I'm rolling through. Oh for those who thinking about trying something funny. Once you see me, I know you'll instantly change your mind. That's if you'll even be able to spot me.
Be Good, we will talk on Monday!
