Gets fucked again and pays half million dollars out in legal battle. This motherfucker gonna have to start selling his sun glass collection soon cos he gonna be broke if he don't watch out.

Details here and here

Common:

Has stated in an MTV interview that his next album is gonna drop in November and will be called "the believer" - let's hope he switches his flow and content on this one cos "Finding Forever" was just a shit version of "BE", which was good.

Maybe this guy should stick to acting, he could replace Nicholas Cage as the most wooden motherfucker on the silver screen.

Eminem:
Releasing a book of memoirs. this year apparently called "The Way I am".

Sure it will make great Roach material...... ZZzzzzzzzzzz

Where is Cam'ron?
Still no sign of the Harlem Diplomat, as Jim Jones and Juelz continue their rise in hip hop, the pink pimp still ain't made no real public appearances or given any news on the state of the Dipset since his mixtape dropped last year.

Lil wayne:
Rumour has it that lil weeeeezy is doing some ghost writing for the Detox album due out this year from Dr Dre.

YA DIG?

The Game
Rumour also has it that the The Game's mum has been signed by C Murder for a possible book about raising the (BLOOD??) Game. “Life’s Not A Fair Game” is supposedly the name of the book. and there's a possible cd.

Shes a well respected OG in Compton apparently,

That's more than can be said for her son!

Lil Kim and Remy Ma:
Continue their beef into 2008 check out the ongoing disses / vids n rumours here

R. Kelly:
Continues to show how classy he is by first wooing the young stepdaughter of his publicist who he has known since she was 7. Then once his publicist quit over that, he dragged her name through the mud even thought a statement later released by his young conquest confirmed it was him who chased her and with "generosity, and charm" got her into bed.

Classy Kel's, real classy.
