RUMORS

TODAY'S RUMORS!

THE NEXT WAVE OF G-UNIT?
I am hearing that the next wave of G-Unit is on the way. New York has struggled as a Hip-Hop community. There hasn’t been a megastar since 50 Cent! Well, I am hearing from some really good sources that 50 Cent is about to strengthen the team home side. You know? It seems like every time he tried to venture in other regions, things didn’t work. Think The Game, Young Buck and even Hot Rod. Word from a very reliable source is that that Brooklyn rapper Uncle Murder just inked a deal with G-Unit Records. Be honest, that Roc deal isn’t panning out very well. Rumor has it Cory Gunz and Ransom will soon follow. Now, I reported on Ransom a ways back so we’ll see. Also, I highly recommend Uncle Murder change that name. It’s simply not going to work. This is sound advice!

DJ KHALED IS THE NEW PRESIDENT OF DEF JAM SOUTH?!
It was only a matter of time. Now, surely this isn’t a replacement for the dearly departed Shakir Stewart. Shakir signed Rick Ross and Young Jeezy to Def Jam and they are two of the label’s biggest stars. Def Jam had to do something. I heard that DJ Khaled has been appointed the new President of Def Jam South to sign up all the ill Southern rap acts. The thing I don’t quite get I that the South is beyond a niche so they should drop the “South” and just make him “el presidente.”

M.O.P. SAYS ANTE UP!
The WWE might be on the ropes for saying “yappadooo,” a nonsensical sample from “Ante Up.” The Wrestling Giant requested and was granted an extension in responding to the lawsuit from M.O.P. Rapper/wrestler John Cena's theme song contains the noise in question. The WWE has until Dec.15th to respond to the suit or tap out. Sorry, I had to.

I WANT TO LIVE FOREVER!
All oldies: attention! My boy Jye hit me up and told me there are rumors coming out that there will be a remake of “Fame.” So far it appears to be an allstar line up; Charles S Dutton, Kelsey Grammar, etc. Here's a twist though, Debbie Allen will be in the movie, but this time around she won't be the ballet/dance teacher. She'll play a principal and Bebe Neuwirth will play the dance teacher. Now, some may know Bebe from the TV sitcom Frasier, but here's a tidbit for you she danced with the Princeton Ballet Company. She majored in dance at the Juilliard School so she's no slouch. I just wonder if she will bring it like Debbie Allen did? Look for this joint in 2009.
Debbie Allen was a hot mama just like her sis.
