LLOYD BANKS FINALLY RETURNS FROM HIATUS DROPS A NEW JOINT WITH RAEKWON THE CHEF, "DROP A DIAMOND [VIDEO]"

After a brief hiatus, Lloyd Banks is finally back with some new heat. With the Chef's assistance and Ryan Alexy on the 1s and 2s, Banks cooks up some audio dope with 'Drop A Diamond'. 

The "Punchline King" is expected to put out a new underground project in the near future.

Banks is getting ready to finally release a new mixtape, All Or Nothing Vol 1: Failure's No Option. To be hosted by DJ Drama, the tape was supposed to have come out earlier in the year, but Banks chose instead to scrap the entire thing at one point in order to rerecord it. Perhaps this new song is a sign that the Queens native has made some progress on the mixtape and will be dropping it soon. (Complex)

Recently, G-Unit head 50 Cent said the same level of urgency is not existent between himself and the original members.

"I hope that they can actually figure out, from that, like when we say they haven't quite followed my blueprint, it's disappointing that they're not following. You feel what I'm saying? To be that close in the circle, it's almost like, I'm going to be honest with you, it feels like there's something missing from the actual character. Just people, in general, as people, I think there's something missing. Something in my character that's not in their character because I almost 'have' to do it. Financially I don't have to, but I have to because it's just within me. I gotta be a part of it, I gotta be working, I gotta have something going on, something that I'm doing. They've had opportunities to make the transitions that a lot of artists don't because they can behind the scenes without everyone paying attention to them." (Hot 97)

Last fall, G-Unit's DJ Whoo Kid talked about trying to reunite 50 and Lloyd.

"I mean I don't even know man, I tried to like talk to them. Fif says he hasn't heard from him, I don't know man. They're supposed to be cool, I don't think there are any major problems. From what I know, they're cool. They were all at Chris Lighty's funeral. You will hear it from him (50). He will give you the view points on Banks and the whole situation with the Unit. But from what I know, they're cool. But 50 will let you know and explains the situation better." (HHNM)

Game Disses 50 Cent On "OKE" Bonus Track "Hollywood" [Video]

Game says he will not reunite with 50 Cent on "Hollywood," a bonus track from "OKE" that also features Scarface.

Game disses 50 Cent on “Hollywood,” a track he released today (October 11).

“Hub City thugs wit me, buck 50,” Game raps on the track. “Reunite with G-Unit, bitch fuck 50.”

“Hollywood,” which also features Scarface, is a bonus track from the deluxe version of Game’s OKE mixtape, which he released Wednesday (October 9).

The deluxe, untagged version of OKE is free of deejay drops and tags and also includes a digital booklet.

Game was a member of 50 Cent's G-Unit before falling out with the rapper. The feud between them became violent in 2005 when a shooting took place outside of New York radio station HOT 97 while 50 Cent was in the building and Game and his entourage were outside.

During a recent interview with Larry King, Game spoke about his beef with the G-Unit leader. 

“I haven’t seen him in about eight years,” Game said. “There was a rift. We had a shootout in New York. In front of a radio station…It was a little bit more than a rift. Egos, young, dumb, ignorant, who knows.”

Game said that he has not started working on a new album because of OKE, which stands for "Operation Kill Everything."

"OKE is such a dope mixtape," Game said. "It's kind of like an album. So, I haven't even started working on an album. I focused everything on 'Operation Kill Everything.' That'll be an album. My mixtape gon' be better than a lot of people album, and it's sad, but that's what it is."

1. “Kill Everything” (Feat. Diddy) (Produced by Twin Towerz)

Rapper 50 Cent Says His Son Fears Him

50 Cent also talks about his new Sundance Channel reality television series "Dream School."

50 Cent is the executive producer of a Sundance Channel reality television series, "Dream School," a series where 15 high school drop outs are mentored by professionals from various fields. 50 Cent, who is also a mentor on the program, recently spoke about why he went from a behind-the-scenes role to having on-screen involvement on the program.

"Initially, I went into executive producing not actually being in the show," 50 Cent said in an interview withMTV's act blog. "Then I wanted to be a part of it, because of what it is. The consistent thing to register about Hip Hop and music is that if it ain't about money, then it ain't really about much, and I used the same thought process to communicate with the kids. Like I had to prove it was about the money. And they were all ready to hear it, because you don’t wanna be not about that." 

50 also spoke about the teenagers who appear on the show.

"They all have their own individual obstacles," 50 Cent said. "There are huge distractions in different ways, for completely different reasons, but it happens simultaneously. This is happening in the same room, and you can be involved close enough to understand it." 

The show is also reportedly features mentors David Arquette, Swizz Beatz, Reverend Jesse Jackson and Soledad O'Brien.

It has been reported that 50 Cent appears as a mentor to Alan, a transgender teenager on "Dream School." 

50 Cent Says His Son Has A Fear Of Him

During the interview, 50 Cent also spoke about his son, who is now 17.

"He has, I don’t know if you should call it, a fear of me," 50 Cent said. "'Cause it’s like, his mother will traditionally say, 'You wait 'till your father finds out."

50 Cent also addressed his ability to be a strict parent.

"Well, you know what, in certain areas," 50 Cent said. "I feel like I've always made him feel like he’s the man when I’m not around, so it’s his job to make sure everything’s alright, to take care of your mother, to not give her a hard time." 

50 Cent Says "I'm A Billion Dollars From Where I Came From"

During the interview, 50 Cent was also asked about his legacy. 

"When you see people that are really well-accomplished," 50 Cent said. "Take these billionaires. You see that they have a strong sense of philanthropy. Their connection to giving back is a strength. So to me, I ain't in that actual space yet financially, but I’m still a billion dollars from where I came from. I'm a billionaire from that perspective, so I've already taken on some of these things."

50 Cent has had philanthropic efforts through various endeavors, including his The G-Unit Foundation. He has also been fighting poverty with purchases of his Street King products. Additionally, he's done similar philanthropic work through his involvement with SMS Audio. 

In August 2011, 50 Cent said it was part of his mission to "change children's lives around the world."

WELL KNOWN & BELOVED BLOGGER JESSIE SPENCER VICTIM OF HIP-HOP WEBSITE HIPHOPDX'S HATRED TOWARDS BAY AREA RAPPERS

A month ago I posted a couple of blogs on HipHopDX's message board about the Philthy Rich, Kafani, Messy Marv Beef and the jealous HipHopDX employees deleted all my posts saying that the stories were "spam" so they had to immediately take them down. Then I realized thar HIPHOPDX don't respect BAY AREA RAPPERS and then I also realized HIPHOPDX were INSANELY JEALOUS of me and JESSIE SPENCER'S BLOGSPOT because my blogs are actually changing the way people look at music. The same reason ThisIs50/50 Cent flagged videos on my YouTube Channel because of the insane jealously festering deep in their hearts because I had YOUTUBE on lock and they tried to stop it. HIPHOPDX have been computer tracking me 3 months now straight. WHY???????????????????????????????????????????????

   I don't know why these stupid bloggers think nobody knows who they are lol

And when did Papoose all of the sudden become a tough guy? I remember a while back when in the middle of an interview rapper Uncle Murda walked up Papoose and punched in the f-ckin' face and then turned around and just walked away. And Papoose didn't do sh-t. Just stood there looking stupid in the middle of the street. The video was posted on YouTube then all of the sudden the video was mysteriously tooken down and never seen again but nobody forgot about that sh-t. And the reason Nacirema Dream took so long to come out is because he had did a bunch of songs with a bunch of different people [50 Cent, Eminem etc.] but couldn't get the clearances. FIRE YOUR MANAGEMENT!!!!!! Dude goes to the gym a couple of times and starts wearing tight ass shirts so now he's a tough guy.

Lil' Cease Says The Notorious B.I.G. Distrusted Michael Jackson Around Kids

posted September 30, 2013 

Lil' Cease says he never got to meet Michael Jackson because The Notorious B.I.G. did not trust the Pop icon with children.

Lil' Cease recently spoke about The Notorious B.I.G.'s contribution to Michael Jackson's "This Time Around," a collaborative selection that appeared on 1995's HIStory: Past, Present And Future Book I. 

"I remember we was in [Los Angeles]," Lil' Cease said in a recent appearance at Cipha Sounds Presents: Take It Personal. "He got a call from [Diddy] to go record the record with Michael Jackson...[The Notorious B.I.G.] got the call and he was like, 'Yo, we gota go to the studio and do this song with Michael Jackson.' I'm in the back of the car, high as giraffe's ass. You know, 'You going to do a song with Michael Jackson? When?'

"So, we pull up to the studio," Cease continued. "It wasn't like all the other studios we went to. It was all gated. It was like a house. So we get in there and the studio was like a guest house and we in front of the house. So now I'm getting excited. I'm like, 'Oh shit. This is real.' I'm 16 years old. I'm like, 'I'm about to meet Michael. I'm about to style on niggas. Ah, this shit 'bout to be on. I'm gonna ask him if he smoke.' I'm thinkin' about the illest shit in my mind, what I'm going to say when I see him. That's the type of shit we was thinkin' about. We was young kids. I was like, 'I want to know if that nigga smoke. I'm sure he do, singing all that sentimental shit. There's a sensitive bone in there somewhere where the weed bring some of that shit out of you sometimes.'

"So we gets there," Cease added. "We pull up. The big security guard come out with the shades on, suited up and he comes in. He grabs Biggie. And I'm about to walk in and Big stops me an goes, 'Hold up. Where you going?' I'm like, 'Nigga, I'm coming in.' He like, 'Nah, I don't trust Michael with kids.' I'm like, 'Huh?' And he had the serious face, too. You know Big. He was real sarcastic. He was funny. He was just like, 'Nah. Nah, dude. I don't think it's a good look. Just stay right here. I'm going to go in there and handle that business real quick. Just roll up some weed. By the time I come back out, we can smoke.' And I'm still trying to walk in and he holding it me like, 'Dog, where you going?' And I'm like, 'Are you serious?' He's like, 'Just chill. I'll be right back. Alright? Just sit in the car. Roll up.' Gave me a bunch of weed, 'Just go have fun.' I'm still thinking like, 'He going to come right back.'

"There's this window where you can actually see the studio," Cease added. "So I'm sitting in the window looking like a stalker, like I'm about to burglarize the spot. I'm like, 'Damn, where Michael at?' I seen Michael come through. He had the shit wrapped around his face with the hat and Big comes and gives him this real Brooklyn [handshake], 'What's up dog?' And that's when I became a sad puppy. Like, that one time, my moment like, 'Damn, I'm about to meet MJ and I'm sitting in the truck rolling up weed.'" 

Cease said that his wish to meet Michael Jackson did not come true. 

"I never got in," Cease said. "Never met Mike. No nothing. But, [The Notorious B.I.G.] came back out after an hour and half, played the verse for me and I was like, 'Alright. Verse was dope. Cool.' But I was still like, 'Yo bro, come on.' I was already on the phone telling me moms, sister, like, 'Yo, I'm about to meet Michael.'" 

Michael Jackson was accused of sexual misconduct against minors several times throughout his career. One of the most recent accusers, choreographer Wade Robson, called the late singer a "pedophile and a child sexual abuser" in May, according to CNN. 

"This is not a case of repressed memory," Robson said in a May interview with "Today." "I never forgot one moment of what Michael did to me, but I was psychologically and emotionally completely unable and unwilling to understand that it was sexual abuse."

The lawyer for Jackson's estate denounced those claims.

"Mr. Robson has adamantly denied under oath and in numerous interviews over the past 20 years that Michael Jackson ever did anything inappropriate to him," attorney Howard Weitzman said, as per CNN. "He now wants us to believe that he committed perjury at least twice and has been lying to anyone and everyone about Mr. Jackson since the early '90s so he can file a claim for money. Mr. Robson's transparent lawsuit comes nearly four years after Michael passed." 

Similar claims were made against Jackson by others. Jackson passed away four years ago, reportedly of propofol intoxication. He was 50.

50 Cent To Daphne Joy?: “Shut up, you a Hoe Anyway!”

 It’s been about a-month-and-a-half since 50 Cent caught that domestic violence case, surrounding his former girlfriend of three-years.

Now, the G-Unit founder says he’s back … while seeming to take another one of his notorious social Twitter jabs. This time, Daphne Joy appears to be the target.

Check it:

This, about ten days after Fiddy stood before a judge, pleading not guilty to the domestic violence and vandalism charges against him.

After the alleged incident, did Fiddy previously take to Twitter to say “I’m not in jail I’m by my pool,” and, “I’m not in jail I’m on my Gucci couch,” in response to his charges? Of course! Don’t believe me.. Just ask Jim Yeager.
