Well, we got good news and we got bad news.  Bad news is, it seems as though Chris Brown fired some buck shots out of a sawed off rifle at Rihanna.  He spit over Kanye's 'Theraflu' beat and had this to say:

"Don't f**k with my old bitch it's like a bad fur/ Every industry n***a done had her/ Shook the tree like a pumpkin just to smash her/ Bitch is breaking codes, but I'm the password."

The song seemed to offend our girl #RatchetRiRi and she unfollowed C Breezy on Twitter shortly after the song was released.  In a not so shocking rebuttal, Breezy unfollowed Rihanna.  Then he tweeted this:

"Assumptions! I didn't say any names so if u took offense to it then its something you feel guilty about."

Well, if Chris wasn't talking about Rihanna, WHO was he referring to? You be the judge.  Listen to the ...

Its safe to say that North Carolina is birthing some of the most concious rappers in the game.  King Mez has been hard at work in the underground rap scene and finally linked up with Fayetville's very own J. Cole.  Cole is steadily putting his producer hat to good use and this time he applied it to "Allure", King Mez and Drey Skonie's soulful analysis of the rap industry. 

Its no secret that J. Cole struggled with similar demons while trying to break into the game which he touched on in "See World" so its great to see these two teaming up.  Hopefully there are more collaborative efforts to come.  For now, take a listen to "Allure" and tell us what you think.

Lyrics:

(Chorus)

The most amazing feeling I feel.

Words can’t describe the feeling forreal.

Baby I’ll paint the sky blue. My greatest creation was you. You. Glory.

(Verse 1)

False alarms and false starts.

All made better by the sound of your heart.

All the pain of the last time. I prayed so hard it was the last time.

Your mama said that you danced for her.

Did YOU wiggle your hands for her?

Glory. Glory. Glory. Sorry.

Everything that I prayed for.

God’s gift. I wish I would’ve prayed more.

God makes no mistakes. I made a few.

Rough sledding here and there, but I made it through.

I reak havoc on the world. Get ready for ...

Common went to the lab over the weekend and cooked up something poisonous to serve up to Drake.  After Ross' "Rich Forever" mix tape dropped last week, things went awry.  

For starters, "Stay Schemin" was the standout track on the tape with Ross, Drake and French Montana singing the hook sounding something like a wounded whale.  No shade, French...it just sounded weird man.  Drizzy's verse can be found in the track below but, it was faintly directed at Common, and yes, another female, Kobe's soon to be ex-wife, Vanessa Bryant.  I gotta agree with Common.  Drake stuck his nose where it doesn't belong in his mention of Vanessa's divorce settlement: "B*tch you wasn't wit me shootin in the gym!"...he then went on to throw subliminals at Common.  

Now, both Drake and Common are lyrically insane.  But, we suppose Common's goal in saying "Make no mistake, I'm talkin' to ...

Rick Ross' new mix tape Rich Forever dropped today at 3:05 pm for obvious reasons.  Get the download here.

Rapper Juvenile is starting his new year on an energized note. The artist and his pal producer Mannie Fresh are working to debut Rejuvenation, Juvenile’s ninth studio album. The album featuring artists such as Rick Ross, Drake, Bun B. and Lloyd is set to hit the streets this January 17. Bookings for the concert tour have already begun.

After being pushed back from its December 20 premiere date, rapper Tyga's second solo album Carless World: Rise of the Last King debuts in the new year on January 24th. The album is said to be a merge of the artists' dance background - as seen in his first album No Introduction, and that of his natural rapper etiquette known by all in the We Are Young Money album. A mix tape in anticipation of Careless World's release to the public was created and can be found at #BitchImTheShit. Be on the look out for Tyga's collaborations with artists such as Lil Wayne, Drake, Chris Brown, Wale and various other hip hop royalties.

Debuting this month is rapper Yo Gotti's much awaited album Live From the Kitchen. On January 10^th his collaborations with Rick Ross, Wiz Khalifa, Gucci Mane and many others will be at the finger tips of the world and not just in the kitchen. When asked by AllHipHop.com about the naming of his first studio album, Yo Gotti was quoted in saying "Live from the Kitchen is a term towards everywhere it started. On a street level, you put it together in the kitchen, but not only that, you can create your plan in the kitchen [. . .] So the overall meaning of it is that’s where the plan started, where you cook the plan up at." And then serve to the very hungry public.

Ryan Leslie first made his rapping debut on a track with Kanye West a few years ago.  Now he is taking another shot at it on his new single "Good Girl".  We can't blame him.  With Trey Songz and Chris Brown dropping mixtapes, it was only a matter of time before the older  R & B cats tried to expand their talents.  What do you think?
