Nas and Damian Marley are coming out with an album Distant Relatives, along with the album was to be a tour.  The tour had to be canceled because of the Volcano that erupted in Iceland pretty much messing things up all across Europe.   They were supposed to perform in London on April 21st, but have to cancel because of the air conditions.  The volcano has been dormant for over 200 years.  Eye witnesses say they saw eruptions as high as 100 meters.  Usher was also supposed to do a promotional tour in the UK to promote his new song OMG, but had to cancel also.  Hoping that the air clears up over Europe soon.

My goodness, divorce court is going mad on Nas.  Nas was ordered to pay $250,000 in spousal, child support and legal fees to Kelis in their divorce case that isn’t even finished yet.  LA Superior Court order Nas to pay $47,249.42 in back child support, $40,454 in back spousal support and 90% of her legal fees of $155,787.28.  Daaaaamn sun, that’s a whole lot of money what the heck is that child eating and what is the child wearing?!?   Nas also has to pay $10,000 a month to his former wife.  Nas must also pay Kelis accounting fee of $48,549.83.  Holy hell, what is this world coming too, is Nas really that rich?!?  Doesn’t Kelis have her own money from her career.  She’s supposed to drop an album Flesh Tones in July.  Nas is to drop an album with Damien Marley entitled Distant Relatives in May.

Foxy Boogie Brown is back with a new single “Let Em Know” featuring Easy Mo Bee and Bam.  Song sounds OK, some ol’ Foxy Brown rap style, not too bad, but nothing to write home about.  But what stands out on the track is her diss of Lil Kim talking about her selling out and going on Dancing with the stars.  Here’s the verse, “I’d rather be in the club at the bar, then go disrespect my hood by dancing with the stars… I’m BK’s Don Diva/ Give the whole hood face lifts/ G’wan I fix your face b—-.”  Good one Fox, but why did she disrespect BK by appearing on Dancing With the Stars?  Then she raps about Jay Z, “The streets talking/ Got the hood crazy,” N—- heard I fucked with Ross and had the n—- baby/ They said I f—– with Nas and now they say it’s AZ/ but on the law, the real n—- was Jay-Z.  Oh she put her and Jay Z’s business out in the streets, why we’ll never know, I guess to sell records.  Check out the song below….

Bad news for the Beastie Boys this summer. Their upcoming tour for the album “Hot Sauce Committee Part I” has been canceled indefinetly due to cancerous tumor found in MCA’s salavary gland.  Luckily it has been caught early and only in one location so it is treatable and likely to survive.  It will require surgery and treatment but he should be OK.  The title track “Too Many Rappers” featuring Nas was one of the songs from the album that was coming out.  Now the album may not come out at all, but we’ll see what happens after a recovery from MCA.  The rest of the band members sent love, prayers and condolences to his family.  The HipHope.com family sends love too his family also.

Cam’Ron keeps it real, with his taste in music.  Recently asked by MTV what he bumps personally this was his reply, “To be honest, I’ve been listening to a variety of stuff.  The last album I bought was Plies’ album. I like Plies a lot. Basically, being in Florida, you feel him even more when you’re in that atmosphere. [Lil] Wayne is my man. I got stuff like Jay-Z’s first album, Reasonable Doubt, [Nas'] infamous Illmatic, stuff that makes me think. [A lot of] new albums are like, ‘Eh, whatever.’ But I got a lot of ‘97, ‘98 stuff in my car, ‘96. Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. … I always listen to DeBarge. DeBarge is always in the loop. John Legend. Beyoncé’s new CD is in there. I do a lot of mixtape R&B stuff. I even got the Force M.D.s.”  Yeah I have to agree with you, I’ve been hearing a lot of new stuff as blah also and really bumping the old skool too.  Another thing we and Cam have in common is we both like Debarge.  So with that said his latest album is good and not wack like his double album “Public Enemy #1.”  His latest effort called “Crime Pays” came out May 12th, 2009.  It’s a good (not great) album.  I especially liked the song “Cookies and Apple Juice,” “Silky (No Home)” is mad funky.  There’s 23 tracks on the CD, 5 are skits.  It’s a good purchase for the money.  But if you don’t like Cams flow then you still won’t like this album, he really kills his studder-step-stop-and-go style (hahaha, that’s what I call it).   All in all I give the album a 65% which is passing, but not great.  Do ya thing sun!  Oh yeah We’re also glad he took wack ass pink clothing off.  Man that was really hurting your image back then.
