Nicki Minaj Brings "Tragedy" To Lil Kim's Front Door W/New Diss Track [Audio]

Well damn, Nicki Minaj fires back!

I honestly didn't think Nicki would respond to Lil Kim's taunts, but she's surprised me.

"Tragedy" gets at the Queen Bee, saying she is is old news. Not sure if this is a snippet or the entire song because it only contains one verse.

"Pink Friday, Eminem, 8 Mile/It must hurt to sell your album on PayPal/Especially when you're in the game fifteen-twenty/You was hot when Shaq teamed up with Penny," Nicki raps.

I respect Nicki for accepting the challenge. This kind of competition is what the game is made for.



We know Lil Kim is built for war, now we get to find out if Nicki is as well.

Lil Wayne Banned From Touring In Europe

UK fans hoping to catch a Lil Wayne concert will have to wait a little longer.

The rapper has been banned from entering Europe due to his recent weapons conviction.

The cancelled dates mean fans at a couple of festivals and several concerts will have to wait until next time around to see the Young Money CEO.

It isn't unusual for UK authorities to keep big name stars out of the country for legal issues elsewhere. Snoop Dogg has been banned from several different UK events in the past 4 years.

Wayne is currently on the North American leg of his 'I Am Still Music II' tour

Drake Comes Up Empty (0 - 6) At Juno Awards Show He Hosted

Apparently hosting the Canadian version of The Grammys doesn't guarantee you will take home an award, even if you're from Toronto.

Drake was shutout at the Juno Awards Sunday (March 27). Up for six total awards, Drizzy got shown the cold shoulder from his native country. Even losing out in the Best Rap Album category to to Shad.

Drake shouldn't feel too bad though, his 'Thank Me Later' cd is platinum and he's working on the highly anticipated follow up.

Justin Bieber, who won two trophies tweeted his support for Drizzy.

R.I.P NATE DOGG - Aged 41

One of the pioneers of the West Coast's g-funk sound has passed away.

According to the Long Beach Press-Telegram, 41-year old Nathanial Hale aka Nate Dogg is dead.

The singer had suffered 2 strokes in the last several years. Last year Warren G made a video plea to fans asking for financial support for Nate.

Nate came into the game during the Death Row Records era with Snoop Dogg, Warren G and Tha Dogg Pound. Although he had several solo albums, Nate will be most remembered for singing hooks and ushering in the g-funk era when he and Warren-G dropped "Regulate".

JA RULE HEADED TO PRISON IN JUNE

Ja Rule only has a few months left of freedom. The New York rapper is set to report to prison in June stemming from charges from a 2007 gun case.


A judge has marked June 8 as the first day of his two-year jail term, reports the AP. The sentence comes after the 35-year-old MC pleaded guilty in December to attempted weapon possession after police pulled him over for speeding following a concert at NYC’s Beacon Theatre. Upon inspection of the vehicle, they discovered a loaded gun in the car’s rear door, leading to his arrest.

Prior to his bid, the “Put It on Me” hitmaker will spend time completing his upcoming album The Renaissance Project, as well as handling tax issues.

While fans wait for their copies of Black Friday to arrive in the mail, Lil’ Kim tides them over by releasing her remix to Rihanna’s “Man Down,” which appears on the mixtape under the title “Cheatin’.” Tacking her vocals on for a verse at the beginning of the reggae-tinged tune, Kimmy Blanco dabbles in Auto-Tune as she deals with the remorse over stealing a man away from his girl.

“What started out as a simple love affair/ Ended with someone inside an electric chair/ And the same man that she was in love with is now in love with me,” sings Kim, who shared her admiration for the red-haired superstar.

“She’s my favorite pop artist right now,” the Queen Bee recently told Rap-Up.com. “I think she’s just phenomenal.”

“Chick finer than Willona, so I let her count it for me/ She got a nice bubble when she rockin’ Robin’s Jeans/ Smokin’ all aloud, but them neighbors can’t hear her scream/ Blew a milli in the club, next day we made five/ Smokin’ on the jet, they bill your card with the fine,” he spits.

Remembering Biggie: R.I.P. Notorious B.I.G. March 9th, 1997

Today – March 9th, 2011 – we remember the life and music of arguably the greatest MC to ever grace the stage; a man whose effortless style and lyrical flow has influenced countless rappers, like Diddy, Jay-Z and Lil Kim just to name a few. Born Christopher Wallace in Brooklyn, NY, the man known as Biggie, Big Poppa and Biggie Smalls to fans is known throughout the world as The Notorious B.I.G. – and we’re counting down some of his greatest music videos in remembrance.


The life of one of the greatest rappers of all time, The Notorious B.I.G. came to an end on this day 14 years ago.

Christopher Wallace was born on May 21st, 1972 in the Bed Stuy section of Brooklyn, New York. A high school drop out and local drug dealer, Wallace turned to music as his salvation for a better life. After catching the attention of producer Sean ‘Puff Daddy’ Combs, he signed a record deal with his music label Bad Boy records.

Wallace took on the stage name of The Notorious B.I.G. and electrified fans with his unique lyrical style. He continued to grow in fame in the mid 90s, so much so that he was one of the main parties involved in the infamous coastal rap war and more personally, rapper/actor Tupac Shakur. Wallace would eventually lose his life, along with Shakur, to gun violence at the age of 24.

His hit songs, “Big Poppa”, “Hypnotize” and “Mo Money, Mo Problems” were all GRAMMY nominated songs and his album Life After Death was nominated for Best Rap Album in 1998.

Wallace’s legacy continues to grow well after his death for not only being a great rapper, but also a proud New Yorker.

VIDEO: LIL WAYNE F/ CORY GUNZ – ‘6 FOOT 7 FOOT’

Hip-hop king Lil Wayne takes the crown in the video for “6 Foot 7 Foot,” the first single from his highly-anticipated album Tha Carter IV. The Hype Williams-directed clip was inspired by the Oscar-winning film Inception.

Weezy falls into a dream sequence, where lyrics from the Bangladesh-produced song play out in his mind. He is seen boxing, running a race, getting his head cut off, and feasting on lasagna in the varied scenes and wardrobe changes. Young Money’s rising star Cory Gunz spits his verse and other members of the YMCMB clique make cameos. Tunechi wakes up after splashing into a tub full of water.

Experience the dream within a dream below.

LIL WAYNE AND DRAKE JOINT ALBUM COULD ARRIVE BY YEAR’S END

Lil Wayne has been putting in work on his highly-anticipated album Tha Carter IV, but he’s got just as big a project on the horizon. Weezy recently addressed rumors of recording a full-length album with his protégé Drake, and that the rappers’ collaborative effort could hit stores by the end of the year.


“That right there, that’s always been in the making,” Tunechi told MTV News’ Sway Calloway. “We’ve always been in the studio or we’ve always been having conversations about let’s do something together. Let’s do an album together.”

The only conflict would be that Wayne has a few other projects he would have to knock out first. “I’ve had ideas to do an album with T-Pain. We’ve got the T-Wayne situation going, so Drake’s a very respectable dude. He’s like, ‘I don’t want to disrespect none of those situations, so I’m just going to wait ’til you have a real good moment to focus on you and I doing an album,’” he explained. “And then you know my obligations to the Like Father, Like Son albums with Stunna. It’s like no disrespect to those. I don’t want to clash with nothing.”

While the Young Money boss is high in demand for guest verses while recording Tha Carter IV, his collabo with Drake could come later this year. “I want it to be a year when [we] actually have a moment and we can do it. It’s coming up. Probably the end of the year if we work hard at it,” he said.

Additionally, the hip-hop martian revealed that three or four songs intended for last year’s I Am Not a Human Being may end up on TC4, and the rest will be fresh material. “I kept like, if any, about three or four songs. Everything else is brand new,” he shared. “It’s soon. Once you start shooting the video, that means it's ready!

CIARA AND RIHANNA EXCHANGE FIERY WORDS ON TWITTER

The divas duked it out on Friday night as Ciara and Rihanna got into a feisty Twitter exchange that had the Internet buzzing.


CiCi appeared as a guest judge on E!’s “Fashion Police” earlier in the evening. When a photo of Rihanna at the BRIT Awards was shown on screen, she commented, “I ran into her recently at a party and she wasn’t the nicest and it’s crazy because I’ve always loved and respected what she’s done with fashion. I’ve ran into her before, but this time it wasn’t the most pleasant run-in.”

Host Joan Rivers chimed in by saying, “A bitch!” before Ciara told her with a laugh, “You crazy.”

Rihanna was tuned in to the television because she responded on Twitter shortly after the episode aired. “My bad ci, did I 4get to tip u? #howrudeofme,” she wrote before Ciara shot back, “Trust me Rhianna u dont want to see me on or off the stage.”

“U gangsta huh? Haaa,” laughed the “S&M” singer. “Good luck with bookin that stage u speak of.”

But the ladies settled their differences soon after. “Ciara baby, I love u girl! U hurt my feelings real bad on TV! I’m heartbroken! That’s y I retaliated this way! So sorry! #letsmakeup,” said RiRi.

Ciara agreed to put it behind them, telling her peer, “Rhi u know its always been love since day 1! Doing shows/everything. you threw me off in that party! Apology accepted. Let’s chat in person.

LIL’ KIM ADDRESSES MIXTAPE SALES

The sales of Lil’ Kim’s mixtape Black Friday are a hot topic of conversation. The rap diva claims to have sold 113,000 copies of the $9.99 release via PayPalwithin 28 hours, but some have questioned the authenticity of those numbers. The Queen Bee stings back at the critics and Nicki Minaj in an exclusiveinterview with Rap-Up.com.

You tweeted that you sold 113,000 copies of Black Friday within 28 hours. Is that accurate?
Right now it could be more.

What do you say to those who question the authenticity of those figures?
At the end of the day, you’re always going to have your haters. We need the haters. There was actually a representative at PayPal who basically didn’t really confirm or deny it, but also [said] that they’re very happy and proud of the success of Lil’ Kim. I think numbers in other areas speak for themselves. I mean, why aren’t they questioning the Black Friday [video] being at 2.5 [million views] in less than 18 hours? Why aren’t they questioning that? What’s the difference? How can you add up one thing and not the other? I just feel like people pick and choose the area that they want to attack [laughs].

Do you know the current sales numbers?
No, I actually don’t know right now. I have a team that kinda checks up on all that. We’ll keep you posted.

Nicki Minaj laughed off your sales claims. Did you see that?
I heard about it. I didn’t see it actually for myself, but to be honest with you, homegirl is basically obsolete to me right now. She’s doing a lot of lame stuff. She’s so lame to me right now—she’s always been, but now really. At the end of the day, her sales can be questioned also. Not to say she didn’t have the build-up, but the only thing you kept hearing before her album dropped was nobody liked it, it was wack. Don’t get me wrong, she might have a couple songs that are OK, but who cares. The haters will be haters, that’s their job, and we need them.

DR. DRE, CHRIS BROWN TOP ITUNES CHARTS

The Doctor is back on top. A mere two days after releasing his Detox single “I Need a Doctor” to digital retailers, Dr. Dre currently sits at No. 1 on the U.S.iTunes Top Songs chart.

Another comeback king, Chris Brown, sees similar success with his latest single “Look at Me Now” featuring Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes. The Diplo and Afrojack production hold the No. 2 spot thanks to a surge in downloads. The banger comes off of Breezy’s fourth album F.A.M.E.

VIDEO: RIHANNA – ‘S&M’

Sex, scandal, and sweat rule the visually arresting video for Rihanna’s “S&M,” the raunchy single off her latest album Loud. In the Melina-directed clip, the pop starlet turns the tables on the media as slanderous words including flop, slut, and Illuminati flash across the screen. RiRi dons pink latex, a polka-dot leotard, and big curly red hair while flaunting her body, indulging in sweet treats, and taking hostages, including gossipmonger Perez Hilton.

Game dug into his rap Rolodex for his latest mixtape Purp & Patron, roping in production from Dr. Dre, RZA, and Pharrell, with guest appearances from Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, and Fabolous. But when it came to working with Ashanti on the gushy “Soft Rhodes,” he got some help from the man behind the boards.While in the studio with the Compton rapper, Dr. Dre asked him if he had ever collaborated with the former Murder Inc. princess, and if there was anything keeping him from hopping on a song with her. “We were in the studio. Dre asked me if I had any drama with Ashanti, and I was like, ‘Nah.’ He was like, ‘You worked with her?’ And I was like, ‘Nah,’” Game told Rap-Up.com. “He was like, ‘You mind working with her?’ I was like, ‘Nope.’ He called her up and she came through and we did that.”The Dre-produced cut, which boasts a soothing beat and catchy hook, sees each artist tackling the touchy issue of hooking up with an ex. “Just ’cause we break up don’t mean it’s over/ When I call, you comin’ over/ To get this here like I told ya/ I’ma get it every time I want it,” sings Ashanti.Game is currently assembling the leftover tracks from his Purp & Patronsessions for another mixtape, The Hangover, scheduled to drop Monday.

Is Nicki Minaj's Ass Real? Not Even Lil Wayne Knows [Video]

Is Nicki Minaj's larger than life ass real, or has it been surgically enhanced?

That's a question many fans want the answer to, but will probably never get. One thing is for sure, her boss, Lil Wayne doesn't know, or at least he says he doesn't.

HollywoodTV caught up with Weezy as he was leaving Philippe's restaurant in L.A. When asked if the "Moment For Life" rapper's butt was real Wayne laughed and shrugged his shoulders as if to say, "I don't know."

When asked again, Wayne said, "I don't know... it's real nice I know that."

CHRIS BROWN ASKS JUDGE TO REMOVE RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST RIHANNA

Nearly two years after his assault on Rihanna, Chris Brown appeared in a Los Angeles courtroom Friday (Jan. 28) for a progress report where his attorney requested the removal of the restraining order against his client.

The “Yeah 3X” singer, dressed in a shawl sweater, button-up shirt, and tie, sat before Judge Patricia Schnegg with his lawyer Mark Geragos. After telling the judge that his client had completed his 52-week domestic violence counseling, Geragos asked that she remove the existing restraining order against Brown, reports RadarOnline.com.

“It makes it difficult at award shows and such,” said Geragos.

Before the request can be granted, Rihanna’s attorney must approve of the modification from a “stay away” order to a “do not annoy.” Brown is scheduled to remain on probation until 2014.

Despite his three nominations, the 21-year-old star’s rep recently told the AP that he was not currently scheduled to attend next month’s Grammy Awards.

DRAKE WILL BECOME A RUDE BOY, "I WANT TO DO SOMETHING FOR JAMAICA"

In a fairly short amount of time Toronto native Drake has become a very respected rapper/singer, but is the world ready for Drizzy the Reggae artist?

The Young Money rapper might be dropping some tunes over Jamaican influenced sounds very soon.

In an interview with MuchMusic Drake revealed his plans.

"I wanna do something for Jamaica, because we are supposed to go out there and record after the European tour. I was like send me some rhythms that are poppin and I'll see what I can do. He sent me some rhythms that are poppin, so I'll see what I can do. You never know." he said.

Drake is currently touring Europe with Roc Nation artist J. Cole. He was intially scheduled to tour the UK last summer but cancelled due to his mother falling ill. Once the tour wraps he'll head to Jamaica to record.

In addition to a possible Reggae cd, Drizzy is working on a follow up to his platinum debut disc 'Thank Me Later.'

Do you think Drake can pull off a successful reggae disc?
