Did K. Foxx Get Fired From Hot 97?

screen-shot-2010-11-15-at-31919-pm

According To All Hip-Hop:

I can’t believe this. And yet, I can. In what seems like an endless soap opera, K-Foxx of the Hot97 morning show has been unceremoniously fired. I am not fully aware of the circumstances surrounding the termination, but is ON! Now, we saw on “The Gossip Game,” the reality show she starred on, that she at times clashed with E-Bro, her boss AND co-host. What the hell just happened? On top of that, I am hearing that one of her co-stars on “The Gossip Game” may be her replacement! Now, I have a theory, and I’m not sure how much truth there is to this, but I will say it. I think there may be cause to believe that this is part of a grand plot to get that second season of “The Gossip Game” popping. As far as I know, the show is up in the air for the fall season. Insiders have told me, for it to pop off, some dramatic changes are to occur. This is a dramatic change indeed. AND if somebody from the show replaces K-Foxx. YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! DRAMA!

I hope this rumor is not true, I love her on the show.

BREAKING: James Gandolfini Dead At 51

TonySoprano

Wow! Our condolences to his family and loved ones. Spotted on the New York Daily News:

James Gandolfini, the New Jersey-bred actor who delighted audiences as mob boss Tony Soprano in “The Sopranos” has died following a massive heart attack in Italy, a source told the Daily News.

“Everyone is in tears,” the source close to the 51-year-old TV tough guy said.

A press-shy celeb who got his start as a character actor and became famous relatively late in his career — thanks to his breakout role on “The Sopranos,” Gandolfini has largely avoided the spotlight since the last season of the beloved show aired in 2007.

LRG’s Off The Record: Ski Beatz

Legendary producer Ski Beatz is responsible for some of the most influential and instantly recognizable hip-hop beats of all time. As part of our ongoing Off the Record series, we caught up with the storied beatsmith to discuss a variety of topics – ranging from his early days as an emcee with Original Flavor – to the fateful introduction to Jay-Z which was a moment that would inevitably shift the North Carolina native from double duty to strictly a producer of classics.
