Along with each episode, we’ll also include an overview of the show script along with links so you can find out more info:

We’re still gonna to have the daily blog, but once a week we’re gonna have a video posting where I’ll be talking about some of the biggest news in Hip Hop.
Along with every video posting there will be a transcript and story source links.

So let’s get to it! Biggest story from Last week: Jay-Z vs. LL Cool J possible beef?
Depends on who you ask; It it’s up to LL cool J has been saying forever that’s he’s had a problem with how Jay-Z has been running Def Jam as president and was vocal about it on the 50 Cent’s underground song, “Queens”. If you take a listen to the lyrics on LL’s verse you’ll see exactly what he’s been saying all along: he’s been at Def Jam forever but ever since Jay-Z’s come in, LL, I guess is feeling like he hasn’t had the proper shine or proper promotion. LL’s even said himself, “The one thing Jay-Z’s good at promoting Jay-Z.” Jay-Z hasn’t hasn’t said anything really–up until very recently…

50 Cent has a remix to his “I Get Money” song as the “I Get Money Forbes 1,2,3 remix”, and Jay-Z says something to the effect of “I’m already the G.O.A.T., I’m about to be a billy.” Now, anyone who know’s LL’s music knows that LL has always been the self-proclaimed G.O.A.T. which is an acronym for the “Greatest Of All Time”. So is Jay-Z going after him? Is he not? Well here’s what LL had to say about that. Check out this video clip:

So…and already the buzz on-line is that LL already has a song using Jay-Z’s “Takeover” beat where he’s going after Jay-Z, and going after him hard. That’s a rumor, that was found on AllHipHop.com

So we’re gonna see if there’s ever a song that comes out and see if those rumors are true. Recently though, as far as last weekend, Jay-Z did call in Angie Martinez’s show at New York’s Hot 97 saying, nah, he wasn’t focusing that line at LL, but…C’mon Jay…

Along the lines of Jay-Z, we know that there’s a movie coming out called ‘American Gangster’ starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. And that’s coming out, I believe, this December. Jay-Z’s coming out with his new studio album. It’s not the soundtrack to the movie American Gangster, but it’s a concept album inspired by this movie. So, is Jay-Z retired? Is he not? Who knows, but he’s coming out with another album. He already has a single out called, ‘Blue Magic’. If you haven’t heard it, I’ll have a link up for you so you can take a listen. Put your comments let me know what you think about the song.

In more new music, let’s go to Jay-Z’s wifey, let’s talk about Beyonce, and how she has a remix with Justin Timberlake on his single, ‘Until the End of Time’. Again, I’ll have a link up, let me know what you think of the song.

In other news, we have Miss Karrine “Don’t Call Me Superhead” Steffans, who was on Jamie Foxx’s Sirius satellite radio show. His radio is called “Foxxhole”, and it’s an hour long clip where him and his crew are at first clowning, clowning, clowning Superhead and just having jokes going back and forth. There’s some crazy allegations and some alleged things that went down. As far as Jamie Foxx, he made it it very clear to let everybody know he had nothing to do with Karrine, and the fact that he did not sleep with her. At first when he met her, he thought she was very pretty but didn’t know she was *that* Karrine. Take a listen, I’ll have the clip posted but I’m warning you now: it’s really long, unless you have an hour to spare, maybe on your lunch break at work or something, take a listen to it. (Warning: Explicit language)

So, that’s about it y’all, I’m keepin’ it real brief. It was kind of a slow week in Hip-Hop this week, but it’s all good. You know I’m gonna be keeping an eye out on things and have some more good stories for y’all next week. Let me know what you think about the show. Let me know also if you have other features you guys want to see besides New Music and besides Gossip and things of that nature. Don’t forget you can also check out a transcript of this show on this page. You can click on the links, the video and things I went over in the video.

That’s it for now. And I’ll see y’all next week, thanks for checking us out. Peace.
