HOV AND KANYE FIGHTING ?????


Trouble in paradise,

Word on the street is that dynamic duo Jay-Z and Kanye West are having some issues while mapping out the specifics for their forthcoming national tour. The New York Post is reporting that Jay is totally over West’s behavior.” Jay-Z is fed up with West’s antics, he doesn’t even want to be around him.”

According to inside sources, the two are disputing over the budget for their tour. Obviously Kanye plans to go above and beyond for his set of complete and utter flashiness, which could ring up a price tag of $400,000 per show, while Jay-Z wants to stay on the conservative side since he has some bills from Live Nation to pay back.

So“We were expecting them to come out together to perform a track from the album,” a source said. “They didn’t even go out together after the show.”

Quote Of The Day: RZA Speaks On His Contribution To Watch The Throne

As said to Rolling Stone:
“I’m really honored to be a part of the project. These two are obviously very capable in their own right, so to include me in this classic project is a testament of how much respect we share for one another. Kanye asked me to send tracks while they were in Australia, I just thought I would send some shit that would be rugged. I know they can find the poppy, hip-hop places, but I wanted to send them some real edgy shit. Apparently they thought they were great – Kanye said, ‘Send some more of that Wu shit!’”

Soulja Boy Got Taxed With That Lien; Plane Rumor "Debunked"

According to RadarOnline, in March, SB was hit with a $26,805 tax lien in California and a $3,571 in Mississippi. He paid for both in full last week. To make matters worse, his $280,000 home in McDonough, Georgia was foreclosed last year.
As far as that jet?

The news of Soulja Bboy’s tax problems comes just days after representatives for the rapper told TMZ.com that he bought a $55,000,000 jet.


After numerous publications re-ran the reports, a spokesman for Soulja Boy came forward to reveal that the news was fake.


Representatives for the rapper said that he was simply borrowing the jet from a billionaire.

Stevie Wonder Joins Drake’s Take Care

Drake’s 2nd annual OvO Festival went down yesterday in Toronto. Drake tells MuchMusic that Stevie Wonder will appear on his sophomore set, Take Care.

“Stevie Wonder is a very close friend of mine. I’m honored to call him a friend, someone who embraced me very early in this music business. This is an exclusive right here, because it’s MuchMusic, and we’re Canadian: Stevie Wonder is actually on ‘Take Care.’ He helped me out with a lot of the music, just came and sat with me, listened to my music, told me where I could add a couple things to make it more sonically appealing, and not only that but we actually are writing together, which is an incredible experience.


So I hit him, asked him to come by, and with no hesitation he hit me back like “I will be there.” Not only that, but he was supposed to do two songs and he did like six. It was incredible.”

NY Times, Kids These Days: A Group With a Sound if Not a Genre

Vic Mensa was so determined to get into Lollapalooza last year that he tried jumping a fence near some downtown train tracks, brushed against an electrical transformer powering the trains, fell 25 feet to the ground and wound up in the hospital.

He will be back at Lollapalooza on Friday — but this time as a performer.

Mr. Mensa, 18, belongs to the band Kids These Days, which will play on the first day of the festival. This group of eight Chicago musicians, four from Whitney Young High School, may be new, but the task ahead is as old as rock ’n’ roll: striving for stardom, writing new music, building an audience and negotiating their way into a fragmented and bottom-line music business.

US debt deal: key points ?

Here is a summary of the deal, based on documents provided by both parties:

* The deal would allow President Barack Obama to raise the debt ceiling in three steps. Congress would get a chance to register its disapproval on two of these, but would not be able to block them unless it musters a two-thirds vote in both the House and the Senate – an unlikely prospect.

* It envisions spending cuts of roughly $2.4 trillion over 10 years, which Congress would approve in two steps – an initial $917 billion when the deal passes Congress and another $1.5 trillion by the end of the year.

* The first group of spending cuts would apply to the discretionary programs that Congress approves annually, covering everything from the military to food inspection.
