Beef! between these 3 Sparks is flyin'




Back when Eminem wasn't making music and popping pills, way before the "Recovery" album, he was making tracks that did not see the light of day.

This freestyle dates back to when 50 Cent released his last major hit "I Get Money" Eminem rapped over it. The song never made it public, but instead just leaked. 


"They keep on sayin’ the same rappers are the best
Jay-Z and Kanye West, maybe they’re just tryna distract
From the fact that I’m comin’ back
Or maybe it’s cause I ain’t black, maybe it’s because of that
Maybe it’s because I’m the highest sellin’ artist in rap"

His album Rolling Papers drops on March 29th.



Busted Again! Yo Wayne ur track record aint lookin' 2 good but u did say u like em' red ...Well the red officer got ur ass lol


Imagine getting off a plane and all of a sudden you have federal agents randomly stop and heavily search you. Most people nowadays would think they are being suspected of some sort of terrorist plot.

It happened to Lil Wayne recently. Here is what TMZ reported...



Lil Wayne had one hell of***greeting party at Opa-Loca Airport in Miami earlier this week -- where the rapper was stopped and searched by federal agents after he got off his plane.

Law enforcement sources tell us multiple agents from the Drug Enforcement Agency performed a contraband search on Weezy who's currently on felony probation stemming from incidents involving drugs and guns. 
Smh we knew it was gonna happen sooner or later 

Lil Kim REJECTS Signing To Jay-Z & Roc Nation!!! Wow

Can you believe somebody rejected an offer to sign with Jay-Z and Kanye's Roc Nation management?

Can you believe that somebody is Lil Kim?


In a recent interview with Rap-Up, Lil Kim explains why she declined the offer.



"I did get offers from representatives from Roc Nation and I did get phone calls from representatives from Roc Nation. A couple representatives from Def Jam had also reached out to me. I think they're both amazing companies and I think it would've been brilliant for me and Jay to collaborate and team up together.

However it just didn't pan out like that. Not to say that something with me and Jay can't happen in the future, but I doubt if Jay-Z or Roc Nation will be a part of my upcoming album. He and I are really good friends. We both were excited about the idea of us collaborating and maybe me signing with Roc Nation. I think Jay-Z is letting me be Kim at this moment. I think he feels that I deserve to be Kim.

It's hard for record companies to sign females these days and give them exactly what they want and need. I understand that. It's a different world out there".

Stupid or smart move? we don't know do u 

Nicki Laughs off rumors of dating diddy and calls them disgusting





Not too long ago, Nicki Minaj was being managed by Diddy and Bad Boy Records.

Recently rumors began circulating about the two having a romantic relationship. In an interview conducted with BlackBook Magazine, she quickly put an end to any more assumptions regarding the two.




"God, no! It was so disgusting to me that people would even link me and him.
I grew up watching him. I look at him like a Russell Simmons figure, definitely not as someone I'd be getting it poppin' with".

Juelz Santana Speaks Out about Reconciling with dipset and Dealing with Dre

It took many years for The Diplomats to reunite, and it took even longer for them to officially get signed to a major label.

For the past year, there's been speculation over a deal between The Diplomats, Dr. Dre and Interscope Records. Juelz Santana had an interview with Ozone Magazine and revealed some details. 


"It's back to live action, it's back to doing what we do best. We got the deal with Interscope. Shoutout to Jimmy Iovine. I'm sure people seen the pictures up of us and Dr. Dre, so, you know, we've done records with Dre. That was a beautiful experience. Dre had Jim Jones in the booth for like an hour and a half."

"It was like school in there. It's like real rap school when you're in the booth with him. You either feel like you're getting better or a student."

Lil' Kim Responds back against fake record sales& much more

The drama between Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj has been a hot topic as of late. Things reached its peak after so called 'fake' record sales were announced by Lil Kim and then the release of her diss video titled "Black Friday." Now everybody is waiting to see how or if Nicki will respond. The other day she did an interview with Rap Up and clarified a few things...


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 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."

Our Banger Of the Day

Now we all know and love Tank for his gentle yet aggressive approach 2 swooning the ladies he's back and better than ever with his new single I can't make you love me and to us it's def a banger and if u dont love him u will after hearing this joint 

Swoosh!! Spotlight Of the Day Goes 2........

 Z'yaire "Krash" Williams an Upcoming Basketball Star in his own right, I Had the opportunity to sit down & phone chat with the Soon 2 be Euro- Italy Bball Star...He began His Journey as a tiny tot with adult aspirations at the tender age of 5 krash( which he is so affectionately known as) was given a basketball  by his father and was told 2 make big things happen it was on from then. through out elementary & part of high School krash was a bit shorter than most of the kids his age according to him"I was always a shorty (he playfully giggled) I grew around 10th grade i was about 6"1 that gave me the height 2 do what I loved" our conversation pressed on as he reminisced over his high school years "It was cool I wasn't a perfect student who is! but basketball was where i felt my priorities lyed" We spoke of how things became a lil' different  when he began to excel on the Christopher Columbus Varsity basketball team and how he dealt with the Groupie love lol..."Girls where cool with me before ball but when I became what they called a "jock" it was like damn bitties from left and right, I never paid mind 2 it though because I knew what they saw wasn't me they saw my basketball and that wasn't what I wanted" Graduating in 2005 From C.C. High school He began to get offers from different HB Colleges and Universities The one that stuck out the most was Syracuse but Due to an Injury during recruitment they became UN-interested that didn't stop Krash from grabbing his dream and Taking that rebound He did a short stint at Saint Joseph College But graduated with his Bachelor's in Child Physcology From the University of Memphis in early 2010 receiving the John May Smith Award for Achievement and Leaving U.M. with a 4.0 GPA . Through out his time in College He made time during his breaks while visiting family to lend his talents to a street ball team "  The Bingo All Stars" he soon became a fan fav his only complaint was the lack of orientation he explained " I was used to coaches grooming us as a family I soon realized we were not playing against another team we were competing against each other for floor spots &coach favorite's. I wasn't with that There's no I in team but On our team It was a Bunch of I's an no team Coaches Were grooming us 2 play like them an not bettering our skills there was no unison and I didn't like It coaches are supposed 2 enhance your game not change it 2 fit them ". Earlier this Year He linked up with Super Star Rapper Jada Kiss and was selected out of thousands to play for his Street Team914 2010-2011 has been great for him. Not too long ago he received news that Europe was looking at him for recruitment. Of all the teams he could've selected he chose Italy or rather Italy chose him  ( Can we Say amazing) so we asked him how did this happen "Honestly it was God who held me down with this because I wasn't looking to go Euro I was told by my old assistant coach that there were tryouts at Fordham University, so i went not thinking anything of it... little did i know there was a Recruiter from Italy sitting in the bleachers, usually the scouts come out during the second tryout because it's more like a game so they can see u play a full game but luckily for me it didn't work out that way (he snickered) Instead of playing for Fordham I got a call from the scout  via video postcard an it was history from there. Recently asked to speak at his Old Jr. High CS6 (in the Bronx,NY) I asked how does it feel to be in this position what would u tell the children that want to follow in your footsteps " well really whatever you do you must thoroughly enjoy doing it. Because for me basketball was my every breath,I play every game like it's my last! I enforced this to myself  I am the best and it came to pass, That's what you have to do in order to reach your goals. I mean It only goes as far as you take it and it has 2 be in a positive way I always say you can't change the game until you change yourself  and that is what gets me by on the court without ego I'm confident but not arrogant and I tell the kids that come up 2 me 2 follow the same guidelines because this world! can taint your image or change you once you become what people label a "star"  I stay Humble because this life wasn't promised 2 me I could be a Statistic But God had a different plan for me so 2 the kids that want 2 do anything positive and make a success of it Don't let it run you, you run it I never was one to flaunt my own success" All this made us think...Krash is such a busy man what is time well spent for him well we asked and were surprised at the the answer. "I try to make a Minute feel like 2 Hours time is what you make it and since I don't have 2 much to spare I try to make it last for as long as possible til' I'm back on my grind". Now with all this said we know the ladies are probably wondering who a man with this much on his plate gives his attention to? Since we over here at TU are Nosey lmao & that is our brotha from another motha we asked. " well I'm single I decided I wasn't looking for her... The right one will find me".   Since he's single we wondered what he looks for in a woman?Ladies wait no longer we got you. "I'm a family man so I def want 2 be able to bring her around and everyone love her as much as I would! it's simple what I look for.. Cute,Educated,Sense of humor,good personality, acceptance of me and what I do because basketball is not a promised career. Straight teeth and excellent Hygiene lol that's my perfect girl". So you ask What His plans are in the future As a backup career well we have the answers " I love Kids you can learn alot from them Sometimes Their Wiser than Us adults" So I realized  I wanted to be a hands on mentor for kids who do not have that structure, my dad passed away when I was 7 yrs old so I know what it is not to have a male figure and no guidance. "How I dealt with it I really can't describe all I can say is I have my good days&bad ones to, I learned to cope  I took the male role early so I wanted to be that blue print for others like me or even those who do not have stable backgrounds. To me everyone needs some source of support or shoulder 2 lean on". All We can say is that This is an incredible Athlete But an Even more Incredible Man We hope to see alot more from Z'yaire and I know we will keep your eyes out for him people cause he's def runnin' down the court dunkin' on em'. October 2011 He starts his season in Europe as Their Star Point guard alternating as Shooting Guard see you in Italy Bro'  Much <3... for all you sports guys we have his stats below:
