Love is in the air or then again not so much! It depends on who you ask! Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose may be on the path to reconciliation. The two have recently started following each other again on social media and have done a great job co-parenting. What do you think about Wiz and Amber back together? Speaking of getting back together, Sage The Gemini is trying to get back with Jordin Sparks. The rapper expressed his love for his ex-girlfriend via social media which Wendy Williams found tacky. I thought it was cute but he wants the world to know he wants his girl back. It leads me to wonder what happened between the two. Maybe he did the "ultimate no no" with her, whatever that is huh? Ha! While we're on the subject of reunions, Lloyd Banks and The Game were seen together in Dubai much to the dismay of 50 Cent who has been at war with The Game for years. I feel like 50's beef with nearly everyone has hindered his artists like Young Buck and Lloyd Banks. I feel Lloy...

We know that some of our most famous rappers have big mouths. Not only do they brag about how money they bank but they also like to brag on their dicks. They like to entertain us with scandalous tales of sex with groupies but also famous women. When pushed to the limit, these men will speak out and break whatever code the rapper and said female may of had in the past. It's usually something, in my opinion that offsets the rapper causing them to run their mouth like a leaky faucet but it always makes for good gossip and stories like these. Check out my list of rappers who have famously or not so famously got it on with some of female R&B's elite.   The Game, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, & Jay Z vs. Mya - The Game "dreamed of fucking a R&B bitch like Mya" and the rapper actually got his wish. Not only did Mya appear in the video but the two were said to have hooked up. Mya denied the claims but I'm pretty sure it went down. To add insult to injury, 50 Ce...

50 Cent seems to be conjuring up more controversy in a new freestyle where is allegedly taking stabs at G-Unit members and comrades; Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo. Now I haven't heard the song and really not that interested but you never know with 50. Some people think he is just fooling around or he could be serious. I know Lloyd Banks has been doing this thing outside G-Unit; I think just trying to expand his repertoire by working with other artists. Lil' Wayne owes 5.6 million dollars to the IRS. The money is owed from money accumulated through 2008 and 2009. Word is that Wayne is trying to sell his Miami home for 12 million dollars. Meanwhile Lil' Wayne just released his new single; "John" featuring Rick Ross off the upcoming album; "The Carter IV" in stores and online May 16. September 20 is the release date for the new Mary J. Blige album; "My Life II: The Journey Continues". The album is said to be a throwback to the original classic album a...

Game is still taunting Lloyd Banks and now he wants his money back for his purchase of Lloyd's Bank recent album, "The Hunger For More 2". I take it Game is just building anticipation for his upcoming album which may or may not see the light of day. I'm not hating cause I'm a fan of Game but not a fan of his antics. Drake says his label; UniversalMotown/Cash Money doesn't want him recording more than 14 songs for his upcoming album; the follow-up to his "Thank Me Later" album. Drake wants more tracks on the album including interludes, preludes, and things of that matter. I don't see why its a problem for him to do that. He's a proven artist who has proven himself. All his songs are hits but I thought about it and I realized who his boss is; Sylvia Rhone. She's always trying to mess artists over; just my opinion though. Wale is in talks to join or has already joined Rick Ross' Maybach Music imprint. So look out for some possible collab...

Bow Wow will release his new album, "Who Is Shad Moss?" in 2011. Meanwhile the rapper drew some attention to followers on twitter when he spoke about suicide. It just goes to show that stars are human and they do go through things. They are no perfect. I was kind of surprised though to learn that he felt like this though. Lloyd Banks nearly quit rapping! Can you imagine? Some people could probably care less either way. I'm not the biggest fan but he is alright in my book. After the passing of his father, the G-Unit emcee didn't feel inspired to rap anymore. Thanks to pal 50 Cent the emcee pressed on and now we have "The Hunger For More 2" to look forward to when it hits stores on November 23. Be on the look out for that! R. Kelly returns to the music scene with his new album, "Love Letter" in stores and online on December 14. The album features the first single, "When A Woman Loves". The second single is the title track. The album is desc...

The album features the new single, "Any Girl" featuring Lloyd. Make sure you look out for that. I didn't even know there was a rumor going around about Beyonce being pregnant! The singer is currently promoting her new fragrance, "Heat" and has no plans to start a family right now. I just don't see Beyonce having any children until her late 30s. We shall see though. Nelly is back on the scene with his new album, "5.0". The album will be released on November 16. The album contains the first single, "Tippin' In Da Club". The album's second single, "Just A Dream" was produced by Rico Love. Both songs leaked awhile back and from what I remember I wasn't too fond of either one. ---------------- Now playing: Missy Elliott - X-Tasy via...

Music Biz: Jennifer Lopez Facing Concert Lawsuit! Jennifer Lopez is facing a $40 million lawsuit for scrapping a controversial show in Cyprus. The singer was billed to perform at the opening of new hotel complex Cratos Premium in the Turkish Cypriot part of the popular tourist destination on July 24, the same day as the 36th anniversary of the Turkish invasion of the European island. Her decision to stage the show was slammed by officials at the Cyprus Action Network of America, and Lopez subsequently withdrew from the gig. But it could cost her dearly -- the chief executive of the Turkish company which runs the hotel is threatening to go to court to claim damages of up to $40 million. Boss Murat Bozoglu says, "The contract has not been terminated. If she does not show up for the concert, we will begin a procedure in the courts to claim 35-40 million dollars in damages. "The cancellation ... is not covered by any clause in the contract she...

It was just announced yesterday and Kanye will more than likely perform his new single; "Power" from his upcoming album; "Good Ass Job". Kanye has been away for awhile so people are definitely looking forward to what he has in store. Diamond formerly of Crime Mobb has just signed to Battery/Jive Records. Battery Records is an imprint of Jive Records. Diamond will release her first single; "Lotta Money" next month. Diamond recently appeared on Ludacris' remix to "My Chick Bad". I will certainly give kudos to Nicki Minaj because there is suddenly an interest in female rap again and that's good! Lloyd Banks surprised us all when he came back hard with "Bentley Benz or Beamer". Now the rapper is keeping up the momentum with his next single; "Any Girl" featuring Lloyd. It is the new single from his upcoming album; "The Hunger For More 2".

Lloyd Banks is making a lot of noise right now with his hit single; "Beamer, Benz, or Bentley". The rapper discusses the concept of the song; his new album; and the haters. Check it out!

Now I had heard this beat before but to another song and I'm assuming the song I heard was taken from this. I guess its nice to see Lloyd Banks come out of hiding. There had been a lot of rumors regarding his relationship with G-Unit and an arrest for assault. I take it Lloyd Banks has an album on the way but I'm not sure at this point. Juelz Santana more than likely has an album on the way too. He has a single out now with Chris Brown called 'Back To The Crib' which is decent song in my opinion. ---------------- Now playing: Rick Ross - Oh Let's Do It (Remix) (Feat. Lil Wayne, Waka Flocka) via FoxyTunes

So when we haven't heard from an artist in awhile it is safe to assume their vacationing, living it up or just working on a new album. Well for Lloyd Banks it seems that he is assaulting and robbing people. Times must really be tough. Read below for more info as well as news on Usher's robber and Game's album pushback! G-Unit's Lloyd Banks' alleged arrest yesterday on assault charges has been confirmed by Canadian police authorities. Reportedly still being held under police custody, details on what sparked the arrest have landed online. G-Unit's Lloyd Banks is being held by police in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, on assault and robbery charges after an incident involving a local promoter on Friday night. Authorities say that Banks and three others assaulted the promoter after the G-Unit member performed at Club NV in nearby Blandford late Friday night. Sergeant Brad Finucan of the Waterloo Regional Police's Criminal Investigations branch told MTV News on Sunda...

The Game tricked everyone into believing his last album,'L.A.X.' was his last album but apparently not. The outspoken rapper talks about his new album and a lot more. Check it out! Music Biz: Chingy Strikes Back! After dismissing rumors of a controversial tryst a few weeks ago, Chingy is back and coming hard with his first release under a deal with Slot-A-Lot Records and Gracie Productions.The deal, set to aid future projects, is led by the digital release “1st Quarter” featuring Trey Songz, Soulja Boy, and Gucci Maine among others. President of Gracie Productions Urban Division, Dorian Washington says “We are thrilled to have an artist of Chingy’s caliber partner with Gracie. This is an incredible album, and a tribute to how great an artist Chingy continues to be.” “1st Quarter” will be released May 12. Chingy had resigned to DTP but I guess that deal fell through after the failure of his last album. I don't remember what it was called as I type this. Lloyd Banks Leav...

No one can stir up controversy quite like 50 Cent. This has worked to his advantage and disadvantage. One, he always has people talking. Secondly a lot of the talk has turned people off in recent years. Despite the negative tones 50 is often associated with, he is still a huge money maker. Forbes magazine recently crowned the rapper as 2007's hugest money maker with a net worth of $150 million dollars. Obviously 50 is doing something right. In response to my recent R&Beef music feed, I turn my attention to 50 Cent and his most famous beefs. It is hard to imagine an artist 50 has not spoken out against. While I could sit here and type endlessly about his beefs I decided to profile only his most well known ones hence the title; 50 Cent's Most Famous Beefs! vs. Mya 50 Cent claimed that he slept with Mya. When word got back to Mya, she casually denied the rumors. However, her response got her major kudos. The singer claimed that 50 got her mixed up with Lloyd Banks. It was an i...
