New Apple Mac Rumours!!
Alright, so a physical redesign isn’t all that unbelievable, but the presence of a glass trackpad on the upcoming revision of the Apple Macbook portable line would certainly turn some heads. The rumors are as-yet unsubstantiated, but we wouldn’t place it outside the realm of possibility. The new trackpads will supposedly be multi-touch, and support gesture inputs, both of which sound entirely plausible. The redesigned exterior is rumored to be fashioned out of a single sheet of aluminum, which should significantly cut down on weight. Other rumors include new 16:9 screens which would result in both a 14″ and 15.6″ model, as well as processor revisions based on the Intel Centrino 2 platform. Consider this heresay hearsay for the time being, but chances are good that we could see some sort of announcement or launch by the end of September. Let the speculation begin…
50 Keeping Busy
50 Cent is reportedly filming a movie to coincide with his upcoming album titled Before I Self Destruct.
According to The Bergen County, 50 has been shooting the film in Paterson, New Jersey for the past week. The film is also titled Before I Self Destruct.
As reported earlier, 50 plans to drop Before I Self Destruct later this year and it will be his final album on his current deal with Interscope Records.
He also plans on dropping a book titled The 50 Laws of Power which will be the rapper's spin of Robert Greene's The 48 Laws of Power.

Timbo You Too Fast!!!!
Here what Jay said about his next album!!
“You know I love Timbaland, he is like a brother to me, but until the music is done it’s premature,” Jay said. “I’m a person that works off music. If Timbaland makes 10 great tracks then he produces the album, if Kanye West makes 10 great tracks then he produces the album; if he makes three, I’ll take three. I let the music dictate the direction.”

Jimmy Iovine Out???
Is there a shakeup going on over at Interscope records? According to a new rumor it looks like Jimmy Iovine might be out.
While on the surface Interscope records might appear to be dominating the music scene, sources close to the new "Def-Jam of our time" is apparently sinking.
From what I'm hearing the powers that be are not happy. With failed projects from G-Unit, Nicole Scherzinger and others the powers that be aren't impressed with Interscope's performance as of late and may want to make some BIG changes.
I'm also hearing that internal conflicts are becoming a major factor in the shareholders decisions to "shake things up". There's been talk of Jimmy I leaving Interscope in the past but are the inside sources right this time??
Damn Thats Crazy!!!

This Would Be Too Much If It Happened
No matter how much anyone has enjoyed a Nas album, nearly everyone has clamored for the day that Nas and DJ Premier would link up for an entire album. There was rumor of the two collaborating awhile back but it unfortunately never came to fruition. While Premo has reportedly been busy with his own projects, he mentioned to DX awhile back that Nas never reached out to him for Untitled. But it appears that Nas is now taking the first step in making the dream album come true.
While performing at a concert on July 15th, Nas directed an appeal towards DJ Premier in front of the fans attending. What Nas wants is an entire album produced by the legendary Premo. Whether or not this dream comes true is still a mystery. But Nas isn’t done with his dream collaborations yet.
“I want to do an all-Dr. Dre album,” he told MTV News recently. “A whole thing with Dre and a whole thing with Premier, and drop ‘em on the same day. That’s the real thing. All right, I said it. That’s what I really wanna do.”
While there have been no preliminary talks with either Dr. Dre or DJ Premier, one has to wonder if either of these projects have the remote possibility of coming to life.
OH S**T!!!!
Info below:
The wait for Detox is almost over. Dr. Dre says his long-anticipated third solo album is starting to take shape in the studio and could arrive before the end of the year.
"I'm just now — over the last couple of months — starting to feel that it's going to be right and it's something I can be proud of, and everybody is going to love it," says Dr. Dre (aka Andre Young). "In a perfect world, I'm shooting for a November or December release."
EARGASMIC: Dr. Dre's headphones are making waves
If that happens, it will come nine years after his six-times-platinum 2001, which was itself a long-awaited follow-up to his revered 1992 debut, The Chronic That album's bass-fueled G Funk sound dominated rap for years and propelled Snoop Dogg to superstardom. Both albums raised the bar for hip-hop production values.
"I've never set out to do that," says Dre, 43. "I just make the music feel the way I want it to feel and I don't put it out until I'm totally happy with it. Then it does what it does."
FIND MORE STORIES IN: Jay-Z | Cent | Eminem | Snoop Dogg | Dr. Dre | Nas | Lil Wayne | Andre Young | Tha Carter III | Chuck Creekmur
Expectations for the album are high, thanks to Dre's pedigree and perfectionist reputation, says Chuck Creekmur, co-founder of the music news site allhiphop.com.
"He's a master of crafting a complete album, which is rare these days with everything being singles-driven," Creekmur says. "We've been waiting on this almost a decade, and that ridiculous level of anticipation will translate saleswise. It would be on par with Lil Wayne (whose Tha Carter III recently sold 1 million copies its first week out), if not more."
Detox has been the subject of speculation since Dre first hinted at the project in 2002. He has been working on the album, which will be released on his Aftermath/Interscope Records label, on and off for four years. He says he has assembled a new crew of musicians, and the beats will be heavily driven by live drums. "We have an entirely new thing going with the drums that's incredible, and we're still developing that." All "the usual suspects" will make guest appearances, including Nas, Jay-Z and Lil Wayne.
As long as the wait for the upcoming album has been, Dre says it'll be even longer before there's another one. "I'm going to put this record out, promote it, tour and then become a hermit. I'm going to stay in the studio and produce."
But he says he isn't interested in producing albums for established artists. Dre, who previously helped launch Eminem and 50 Cent, says his goal is to find who's next.
"All I want to do is sit in the studio with that person for a year and try to create another masterpiece."
Rick Ross Was A C.O.??
Rick Ross has denied he was Correctional Officer but as he denied it more things came out.
Read below:
Department of Corrections (DoC) records show that Ross, whose raps detail the Miami gangster lifestyle and his supposed days trafficking cocaine, did, in fact, work as a correctional officer for 18 months. Ross (real name: William Leonard Roberts) was appointed a prison guard in December 1995 at a salary of $22,913.54, according to the below personnel record, which was provided to TSG by Jo Ellyn Rackleff, a DoC spokesperson. The rapper’s social security number is identical to that of the jail guard. According to the official document, Ross was earning $25,794.34 when he left the department in June 1997.
Janets Case Thrown Out
I didnt know it was still going on!!!!!
Damn she looks good!
Info below:
Four years after Janet Jackson’s right breast found itself freed before an audience of millions during a Super Bowl halftime show, the court room drama that ensued as a result, is finally over.
According to E!, a federal appeals court threw out the $550,000 indecency fine against CBS Corp. heavily lead by watchdog group the Parents Television Council.
During the 2004 performance with Justin Timberlake, Janet’s boob – with a star shaped pasty covering her nipple -- was flashed to 90 million viewers as Justin sang, “Gonna have you naked by the end of this song."
He later famously referred to the incident as a “wardrobe malfunction,” but the FCC didn’t buy it and hit the network and its affiliates with the huge fine.
A three-judge panel overturned the fine though, saying the FCC had overreacted and ignored its 30-year practice of only fining for indecent programming that is "pervasive as to amount to 'shock treatment' for the audience."
The Parents Television Council is infuriated by the decision.
"While we are not surprised that the legal venue hand-picked by CBS would rule in favor of the network, the court's opinion goes beyond judicial activism; it borders on judicial stupidity,” said Tim Winter, president of the PTC. "If a striptease during the Super Bowl in front of 90 million people— including millions of children—doesn’t fit the parameters of broadcast indecency, then what does?"
No immediate comment from the FCC, CBS, Jackson or Timberlake was available.

Wow Scott Storch Financial Problems Continue
I dont wanna end up like this.
Come on Storch crank out them hits, you can do it bro.
Info below:
A short time ago, Grammy award winning producer Scott Storch was one of the top producers in hip-hop and pop music. The victim of his own success, in three years the multi-platinum producer has watched his empire sink from excess spending, lavish living, high-profile relationships and poor money management.
Storch was one of the most sought after producers in music, crafting hits for Terror Squad (“Lean Back”), 50 Cent (“Candy Shop”), Dr. Dre (“Still D.R.E.”), Beyonce (“Naughty Girl”) and Chris Brown (“Run It”). Nowadays, the 34 year-old Jewish producer known for his notorious keyboard loops can barely be found.
According to an Associated Press report the producer is engrossed in dept that spans from failed property tax payments on his $10.5 million mansion and arrest warrants for several failed appearances in the child-support cases of his two sons.
Storch’s poor decisions have hobbled his music career. In the past the maestro commanded $100,000 per beat. Now, the embattled star has not been able to crack the Top 10 of Billboard Hot 100 since 2005 and has retreated into hiding.
“I think he’s embarrassed,” Vanessa Bellido, the ex-girlfriend and the mother of Storch’s first son, Steven, said in the report. “I don’t think he’s going to be right until he has his money.”
His child support lawyer, Guy Spiegelman, cites mismanagement for Storch’s downfall. The big spender no longer works with his old manager or publicist as he attempts to refinance his waterfront marble mansion and recover from the tumultuous year.
“There was some mismanagement and some other errors,” Spiegelman said. “He got jammed. I don’t think he’s going down, I just think he’s having difficulty. It’s a cash flow problem.”
Many say the money and fame went to his head. In 2004, Rolling Stone reported that he earned $70 million and dubbed him “hip-hop’s Liberace.” From dating movie stars and heiresses like Paris Hilton and Lil’ Kim, Storch’s success impacted his relationship with his sons, Steven and now 2 year-old Jalen Daniel who he birthed with Dalene Jennifer Daniel. Bellido and Daniel say Storch was inconsistent with payments but not a deadbeat dad.
“Once able to get his attention, he stepped up to the plate and did the right thing across the board,” said Jason Setchen, Daniel’s attorney.
“Scott’s not a bad person,” said Bellido. “I know he loves his son. He’s been irresponsible.”
To date, Storch hasn’t shown up for his court cases, but his lawyer has said he will meet his financial obligations. He recently paid the money owed to Daniel’s and the arrest warrant was lifted.
“I’d like to see him do the right thing so we can move on,” Setchen said.

Timbaland To Produce The Next Jay Z Album??
Leave some space for me man!!! Damn!!!
Info Below:
Super producer Timbaland has revealed to MTV that he will produce Jay-Z’s new album in it’s entirety. This is what Timbaland had to say to MTV:
“He wants me to do the whole thing this time around,” Timbaland said Monday during a visit to the MTV News office. “I’mma make it a classic too. You better believe it. It’ll be a monster! I always say this: You get a first single from me, I’mma get you up to gold. And it’s hard to get you up to gold in this day [and age].”
Tim insisted that an LP featuring him and Jay would sell more than the 500,000 copies needed for a gold record, as they’re both international platinum artists.
“Jay should never chill,” he said about the rapper’s decision to return to music full time. “We had a long talk, and I really talked to him. Jay-Z does it for the love. That’s different. When somebody does it for the love, you don’t stop. He has everything, but he’s still current. A million people are buying his album regardless.
The Aftermath: Terence And Rocsi
Info Below:
I know alot of people are thinking that Rocsi walking off the set of 106 and Park last week was a publicity stunt for more ratings, but the tension between the two hosts was definitely real. The two were very close (like brother and sister) for a long time but when you spend that much time with someone, things are bound to happen. Terrence broke Rocsi off (slept with her) and things started going down hill from there. To make matters worse, Terrence went out of his way to flirt with his co-host for the day Keri Hilson yesterday on the set as a jealous Rocsi probably sat home and watched. Even though him feeding Keri strawberries, setting up a dinner for two etc on the show was staged, he was definitely crushing on Keri when the cameras were off and the two (Keri and Terrence) ended up exchanging numbers. * i know one of my boys is ready to fight right now, cause he hates Terrence and stans for Keri*. As for the future of Terrence and Rocsi as hosts on the show, that’s still questionable.

Busta To Help Control Knife And Gun Crime In London
Info Below:
Despite his recent run-ins with the law, Busta Rhymes has been recruited to help stop an increase in gun and knife crime in London.
The Independent reports the rapper will spread his nonviolent message on September 26, when he travels overseas to perform in concert at Royal Albert Hall.
The need to curb violence among youth is a universal concern, according to Rhymes.
"I want to do something productive that will help convince kids on both sides of the Atlantic to stop killing each other," the rapper said. "We are seeing a generation of children who are lost and in need of support. Their families are breaking down around them. They're turning to gangs and violence. We need to tell them that is not the right answer."
Rhymes’ international stage show will be organized by Orange RockCorps, a social enterprise.
The organization’s co-founder, Stephen Greene, praised the rapper as an inspirational performer who had "proved his commitment to volunteering over many years."
London Mayor Boris Johnson echoed Greene’s support as he applauded Orange RockCorps’ efforts to hold the concert as well as Rhymes’ willingness to help, by saying the show would be a "a great example of how music can have a profoundly positive effect on society".

Busta XXL Piece
This is what i found on XXL mag website.
This is interesting
Read Below:
“I mean some can’t stay afloat/A million Busta albums he still not mentioned with the G.O.A.Ts” – Joe Budden “Who Pt.1”
To me the best rap lines are made up of things that everyone is thinking and no one is saying. Props to Joey for pointing out hip-hop’s constant overlooking of Busta Rhymes. After hearing an early version of Blessed I found myself thinking, “How come Bus name never gets mentioned amongst the hip-hop greats?” As a culture it seems that we have such limited attention spans that we never see the bigger picture.
As far as rhymes go, dude is really a beast on the mic and has been since “Scenario.” He has a ton of hit records; classic features and verses where he just blacked out on some real MC shit. Imagine hip-hop without “Woo-Hah” and “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See.” Then try to picture the ” Flava in Ya Ear” remix without the Dungeon Dragon. Remember him on Redman’s “Da Goodness” or the Artifacts “Come on with the Git down” remix? Dude had a Dilla beat on just about every album and then turns around and does songs with Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey. Never has an MC been able to go pop and still maintain underground credibility (well maybe Nas for better or worse). As far as live shows go, Trevor has one of hip-hop’s best and let’s not even talk about his videos because hands down he has the greatest collection of rap clips EVER!
And now we have these rumors of Bus getting dropped by Interscope. Whether its true or not, what the fuck does it matter? How the fuck can a record label drop Busta Rhymes, are you kidding me? And before anyone tries to bring up sales, The Big Bang sold over 600,000 copies (I don’t give a fuck, in 2006 that shit was an accomplishment). Maybe Busta should drop Jimmy Iovine because I don’t care if Blessed is released on Homeboy Records, the version of the album that I heard was pretty fuckin’ DOPE! Busta is truly one of the greats and it’s about time hip-hop recognized and stood up for our heroes before they’re gone!–Rob the Music Ed
This Is Deep
While exiting a train Bournemouth [UK] station recently, Rapper Nzube Udezue, 21, a University of Oxford graduate, was ordered to lie face-down and was handcuffed by armed police. In this case of this mistaken identity, the police surrounded him and treated him like a high level threat. In his words:
“It took me a couple of seconds to realise that it was me that all those guns were aimed at. “I honestly felt like I’d stepped off the train and into a really bad dream.
“I’m shocked, confused, scared and embarrassed all at the same time.”Most of the bystanders had vacated the platform by now, by police order.
“And I’m not talking about normal police either. This is the Specialist Firearms Unit, about eight of them, machine guns, bullet proof vests, police dogs and all. “And they’re here to arrest me!”
Michael Jackson In A Wheel Chair!!
New photos show the faded King of Pop wearing pajamas and being pushed around a Las Vegas bookstore in a wheelchair with his three children.
“He looks really frail. His skin was peeling and . . . he looks so thin and gaunt.”
Jackson, 49, showed up wearing pajamas and slippers and spent about two hours Monday inside a Barnes & Noble store in Sin City, where he lives. He browsed through children’s books and CDs while the kids sat separately at a reading table. The one-time chart-topping star wore a black scarf to cover most of his face, a surgical-style mask and a Marines baseball cap. Jackson and the kids - Prince I, 11; daughter Paris, 10; and Prince II, 6 - left separately. Workers carted a box of books into their waiting SUV. It’s unclear if Jackson has some new health worries, but he has claimed he has skin problems that force him to cover himself at all times.

More Pics Of The Blackberry Thunder
For those who are wondering what the BlackBerry Thunder looks like, well, wonder no more.
Here're a few shots of this device in action, running on OS 4.7. It is also known as the BlackBerry 9500 in some circles, but Thunder sounds so much more imposing than a sequence of digits.
So far the user interface is revealed to be rather similar to the iPhone (no surprise here), while the media player is already up and running. Other confirmed specifications so far include a 360 x 480 (weird resolution count) touch sensitive display

New Jay Z Album Coming??
Here is what Jay said when asked is he going to drop another album.
“Well, after the tour, I’m going back home and we’ll look at it and see if I can start a project this year,” he said. “I would love to do it, to be honest with you. It would be a great thing to do when I come home from tour, but it’s vibe. I can’t say, ‘On this date this is going to happen.’ If I get home and the vibe is right, it’ll happen. If not, then top of next year.”
“I can’t give you the concepts or themes, but I’ve got a very clear direction of where I want to go with this one, and we’ll see how it works.”

Jay Z Sales Go Up After Glastonbury Performance
Jay-Z's headline performance at the Glastonbury festival on Saturday has helped boost the rapper's record sales.
The rapper's 2004 single 99 Problems is set to go straight into the Top 25 of the UK singles chart this weekend.
His Linkin Park duet Numb/Encore, which he closed his Glastonbury set with, is also likely to return to the Top 40.
The star has helped Oasis's Wonderwall return to the charts after he mockingly opened his set with the 1995 single, midweek figures also suggest.
Huge exposure
Jay-Z chose to cover an Oasis track after Noel Gallagher told the BBC that he was "wrong" for the three-day Somerset festival.
The original version has experienced a huge sales boost, with the single challenging for a place in the Top 100.
What's The Story (Morning Glory), the album it originally appeared on, has seen sales increase of over 200%, while their compilation Stop the Clocks has had a week on week increase of over 140%.

R.I.P. Dennis Brown. 9 Years Today
Gotta pay respects to one of my favourite singers.
Dennis Emmanuel Brown (February 1, 1957 – July 1, 1999). During his prolific career, he had recorded more than 75 albums and was one of the pioneers of lovers rock. Legendary singer Bob Marley cited Brown as his favorite singer,and dubbed him "The Crown Prince of Reggae".
In May of 1999, after touring in Brazil with other reggae singers, Brown began to feel ill. After returning to Kingston, Jamaica, on the evening of June 30, 1999, he was rushed to Kingston's University Hospital, suffering from cardiac arrest. Brown died the next day, and the official cause of his death was a collapsed lung. Former Jamaican Prime Minister P. J. Patterson and opposition leader Edward Seaga of the Jamaica Labour Party both spoke at Brown's funeral, which was held on July 17, 1999 in Kingston. The service, which lasted for three hours, also featured live performances by Maxi Priest, Shaggy, and five of Brown's sons. Brown was then buried at Kingston's National Heroes Park. According to some sources, Brown became addicted to crack cocaine, which affected his career and may have led to his premature death.
He leaves a wife and 13 children.
First Eddie Now Alicia???
Superstar Alicia Keys is reportedly considering an early retirement from the entertainment business. The multi Grammy-winner has hinted at calling it quits by the age of 30, so she can spend time traveling the world, according to reports.
The 27-year-old singer/songwriter often finds herself exasperated by the pressures of fame
and in 2006 she took a break from music and traveled to Egypt to recuperate. The “No One” hitmaker insists that her hectic schedule is setting the stage for her to enjoy life in the nearby years.
She says, “I am working hard now so I have the choice to retire when I want. I would like to travel the world and stay in places instead of having to move on like I do now. I want to experience difference cultures.”
Eddie Murphy To Retire From Films??
Eddie Murphy is dishing about leaving the movie business for good after the release of his latest film. “I have close to fifty movies and it’s like, why am I in the movies?” he said, adding, “I’ve done that part now. I’ll go back to the stage and do standup.”
Murphy, 47, said that while a “Beverly Hills Cop 4″ flick was in the works, he didn’t want to do it, because “the movie wasn’t ready to be done.” Murphy said he agreed to do “Cop 3″ because of the large fee he was offered. “They said this is how much we’re going to pay you. I said, ‘let’s go shoot it! I don’t care if the script ain’t right.” As for Eddie’s love life, the new bachelor [said] he is currently looking for a woman with “just honesty and some other things.”
