Nas - Hip Hop Is Dead

Beyonce - Listen (World Premiere)

A recent incident in Atlanta involving Young Buck has prompted one of the city's radio stations to blacklist the Tennessee rapper from ever being played again. On Sunday (November 26) Young Buck (born David Darnell Brown) performed in Atlanta's Club Nocturnal. After his performance, Buck announced he had some business to handle with Hot 107.9 DJ Will, who was deejaying prior to Buck hitting the stage. Apparently, Buck did not take kindly to Will's decision to play The Game's single "It's Ok (One Blood)" earlier that night, so he headed to the booth and reportedly grabbed DJ Will by his shirt. Although DJ Will stood up for himself, he was outnumbered by members of Buck's entourage who jumped in. As a result, Hot 107.9 program director Jerry Smokin' B has banned Young Buck from the station's playlist.

Nothing is apparently worse than an ex-lover scorned. Such is the case with actor Darius McCrary, best known as “Eddie Winslow” on the long-running ABC sitcom ‘Family Matters.’ McCrary was the subject of a malicious e-mail circulated by someone who is suspected to be a bitter ex-girlfriend, though McCrary doesn’t even want to make any accusations about the culprit. The bogus e-mail said the popular actor of had AIDS and created a fictitious scene of how the female making the accusation discovered his illness moments before an unprotected sexual encounter, by going through his medicine cabinet after getting a headache. “I don’t want to give the person too much energy who did it, but it’s definitely a bunch of bull. It’s totally not true,” McCrary said via cell phone from Los Angeles late last week. The actor couldn’t imagine how someone could be cruel enough to fabricate such an e-mail and doesn’t believe he’s ever done anything to warrant such backlash. “Only thing I am guilty of is loving ladies! And maybe loving them too good,” offered the Walnut, Calif. native.

Ex of Nas: Three was rapper's big delight

Nas's ex is raking her acrylics over the rapper and his wife, Kelis, in a new tell-all book, "It's No Secret." Carmen Bryan says he beat her, cheated on her, cut her child support, and then invited her for a threesome with the "Milkshake" singer, just before they married. Not that the self-described "hip-hop Helen of Troy" stayed home watching Oprah when her man was away. She found time to entertain Jay-Z and Allen Iverson while dating Nas. She claims he beat her "with a closed fist" after finding out about one fling. In turn, she "pulled out my pepper spray from my back pocket and sprayed Nas down like he was some rabid pit bull," when he cheated. Miz Bryan also claims Kelis doesn't wear deodorant, Jay-Z scrubs his butt in the shower (doesn't everyone?), and Nas once turned down a date with Beyonce because, he said, "to be honest, I can't take her breath."

Egypt's version of what happened with Foxy

Foxy called Egypt to be interviewed to clear up what she said were misconceptions about her in the press. Egypt was looking forward tospeaking with her and aiding in her clearing up thealleged unjustified reports. Foxy cancelled the interview a number oftimes before showing up but once she did arrive to the studio, she insisted on not cooperating with Egypt and Ashy by not directly answering their questions, including ignoring Ashy whenever he asked her a question, only allowing Egypt to speak to her. This caused the interview to take an unexpected turn which resulted in Egypt later asking Foxy to leave the studio.

Jay-Z News

Jay-Z celebrated his return to the game with a seemingly impossible trek: seven 30-minute concerts around the country in 24 hours. He hit up Atlanta, Philadelphia, Washington, New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, and finished in Las Vegas early Sunday.

Universal Music Group is suing MySpace.com for copyright-infringement after its new Jay-Z album “Kingdom Come” was leaked on the site. The world’s largest music company seeks an injunction from future infringement and $150,000 for each unauthorized song or video posted on MySpace. The suit against MySpace and its parent company, News Corp, was filed in federal court in Los Angeles and claims the popular networking site encourages “rampant” infringement on UMG’s copyrights.

Kingdome Come is set to break first-week sales records for 2006 and will land at #1 on the charts come next week. Sales of his latest disc are projected to reach 850,000 units by next week, according to HitsDailyDouble.com. Jay has also recently become the #1 on-demand artist ever on Clear Channel Radio, with 600,000 plays over the past week on more than 220 station websites.
