Alleged album art for Styles P’s long-overdue album, Time Is Money, now slated for November 14th. Good to see that Curtis finally gave the go-ahead on this one. I’m sure the art guy didn’t run out of colored ink.
Back by popular demand.

The Game - Hustler’s Dream (poor quality)
Dre or no Dre, about 500,000 people will still go out and cop the Doctor’s Advocate within the first couple of weeks. My only gripe with JT is that he’s quickly morphing into the “Ludacris of the west coast”; His ability to soar is often grounded by his reluctance inability to push that potential of his to the limit. It’s like duke takes two steps forward and 4 back.
Still, Game is 2/3 right now. Notice that there’s barely any name-dropping on “Hustler’s Dream”? Hopefully, we’ll have a better version of later. Stay tuned.
Bonus:
Eminem, 50 Cent, Ca$his, Lloyd Banks - You Don’t Know (CD Quality)

The Game - 1-800-Homicide
Taken from my current favorite album, Hi-Teknology 2: The Chip out October 17th.
Freddie Foxxx (aka Bumpy Knuckles) - The King is Down (Rakim Diss)
Okay, this guy is not only dissin’ Rakim for stuff that happened 50 years ago, he’s also going at God’s Son just because Nas won’t do a track with him. Plus, what’s with all the name-calling? I guess he lied about not calling Ra by name.
*Yawn*
-Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to the Bird Flu dance. “I called this bird flu because this beat gon kill everyone!” WTF!!!!
-Lost youths find hope in hip-hop, or so says Bakari Kitwana, former Source Executive Editor.
-Video: Fat Joe ft. Lil Wayne - Make It Rain. I actually like this song, but I can’t say the same for the music video.
-Beyonce and Jay-Z join Snoop, Mary J., Ciara, Missy and others in Nigeria next month.
-According to WuTangCorp.com Raekwon has now signed to Dr. Dre’s Aftermath.
-Not hip-hop related, but international border volleyball is something the senate might wanna consider.
A guy who posts as “Lupe” on Atlantic Records message board claims that the 58,000 units reported by Billboard is missing Best Buy’s figures:
hahahaha….hi my peoples…actually this weeks Billboards numbers are off because of an error!!!…Best Buy hadnt turned in their sales…I must remind I was the number #1 seller at Best Buy this week…the numbers without Best Buy stand at 57,000…the new numbers will be out this friday after they turn in…hahahahaha…GOD IS GREAT!!!!
Judging by the same user’s previous posts, there’s no doubt in my mind that Lupe truly made the above entry. I wonder why he didn’t post this on his MySpace blog which is more popular and obviously has the capacity to reach more folks. Then again, I wonder why hitsdailydouble.com reported 85,000, while Billboard claimed it was only 58,000.
Not that it’s impossible for him to have really done those shitty numbers–after all, he’s not dissin’ anybody or making up some gimmicky dance moves. However, according to Best Buy’s official website, Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor is the current best seller in the rap / hip-hop category.
UPDATE: Lupe was absolutely right. Not only did a recent Atlantic Records press release corroborate this claim, Billboard has also noted that “system failure at a significant chain made it impossible for data from that company’s stores to be included when Nielsen SoundScan processed the sales charts that were released Sept. 29 on Billboard.com and Billboard.biz.“

-Chris Martin raps on Jay-Z’s album. But, it’s not likely to make the cut.
-Finally!A hip-hop action figure that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.
-How do you manage to write a best-selling book if you can’t read and/or write?
-Foxy Brown reaches an agreement with former employee, charges dropped.

-YBF has an interesting overview of some questionable media reports surrounding Rev Run’s newborn daughter’s death.
-Paul Wall picks the Phil Collins sampled “I Don’t Care” as the first single from his forthcoming Get Money, Stay True. I bet you he’ll what it do us to death as well.

You probably remember Ms Myles from Rhymefest’s first video, “Brand New,” with K-West. Since then, she’s added more music clips to her resume including, but not limited to, Nelly Furtado’s brand new video for “Promiscous Girl.” The ever-smiling California-e native recently unveiled a multimedia CD available through her official website, BriaMyles.com. Move over, Buffie.
-Not that it’s the first time I’ve noticed this sort of plagiarism, but, there’s something unethical about jacking another person’s piece word for word. I’m talking about these guys jacking this article. He eventually agreed to add the source.
-Will.i.am says he was nervous when he first met The Game. Duh, he jumped Ras Kass by himself. Who wouldn’t be? s/c
Speaking of JT…
-He won’t drive Maybachs or wear button-ups, but he sure looks awkward on this cover of the November XXL.
-You know the world is coming to an end when folks like Michael Jackson are getting dropped from their label. What’s the word on that Method Man rumor by the way?
-Gnarls Barkley takes the “if it ain’t broke…” approach on their second album. (Update: They’re no longer sure if there’ll be a second Gnarls Barkley album.)
-I was just about to exhale a sigh of relief at the sight of this headline before realizing that The Boondocks comic strip won’t return anytime soon. Let me find out Aaron McGruder has joined Dave Chappelle in Africa.
-Bumpy Knuckles takes a break from dissin’ Nah’Right.com posters to beef with Rakim…of all people.
-Shots fired atJim Jones concert, two men arrested.
I’d be surprised if Esco drops earlier than the first quarter of 2007. Apparently, Def Jam wants us to pretend that Reggie is dropping an album anytime soon.
(PSst: These things change by the minute, so I’ll try to keep you posted, depending on how often UMG updates their shit.) Updated.
