Mike Jones had his nose bloodied at last night’s Ozone Awards, thanks to Trae’s knuckles. Watch as Trae reveals the motivation behind the knockout punch that made Mike Jones more popular than he’d like to be. I don’t condone this type of violence, but Trae Vs. Mike Jones is truly a mismatch — physically and musically.
I have all the respect in the world for both artists, but this wasn’t necessary.

Game takes aim at G-Unit, referencing Terminate on Sight’s pathetic Soundscan figures. Game is like that old girlfriend that just never lets go. As soon as it seems like everyone has moved on, kapow! Ex-girl shows up again.
GZA - “Paper Plate” (50 Cent Diss)
“Stop sipping on that Formula 50. They want heat? I give it to ‘em burnt and crispy”
GZA goes hard at 50 Cent on “Paper Plate,” a new track from his upcoming album, Protools. For the unitiated, 50 was talking greasy about GZA last December, saying he’s too old and whatnot. “You were born in 1966,” 50 said back then. “Listen, I have an old school Chevy Impala your age.”
So, GZA decided to battle him the old-fashioned way: on wax. He’s pretty much saying, “Look, you may have all the money, but I will pwn you rhyme for rhyme.” Even though I thought this was a polite diss, I don’t see Boo Boo being able to top it.
And GZA didn’t even have to use a single cuss word.
I have all the respect in the world for Shaq Fu, one of the greatest Centers to ever do it. Having said that, he didn’t have to bring up bygone sentiments the way he did at that nightclub. Everyone knows Shaq was a major factor in all those Laker championships. Duh, why else was he named Finals MVP for 3 consecutive years?
Saying, “Kobe couldn’t do it without me” will only motivate Bryant to go out and get it. Next season, Kobe will win a championship and I won’t be surprised if he drops a diss on Shaq.
By the way, the USA Olympic men’s basketball team was announced yesterday. See the roster below.

I’ve been trying to ignore this whole Ice T vs. Soulja Boy brouhaha for a while, but it just won’t go away. In case you’re just returning from vacation overseas, the beef started when Ice T remarked that Soulja Boy “single-handedly killed hip-hop” in addition to telling him to “eat a d*ck.” Soulja Boy deferred to his usual response to older rappers, “N*gga you old as hell…you was born before the Internet was made…” Actually, I’m not doing Soulja Boy’s response any justice. He straight-up ethered Ice T. (Watch all the videos below.)
Kanye West weighed in on the beef via his blog yesterday. You won’t believe who he’s riding with on this one.

Lil Wayne’s 7-minute tirade on “Misunderstood” about Sharpton is stirring up a wild storm. As if that’s not what it was intended for.
::John Brown - Ain’t No Future in Yo Frontin’ (Game Diss)
This is shaping up to be an interesting scenario.
King of the Burbs vs. Prince of the West.
Joe Budden and Gloria Velez once boasted about each other’s bed prowess in public.
Now, Velez is saying he’s a little boy and a woman beater. Then she goes on to say
that “he’s not really hanging anyway.” Is it just me or do women always use that
line after a bitter breakup?

Buddie, a member of the grammatically challenged rap group Dem Franchize Boys had some harsh words for Nas in a recent interview. DFB’s has a single in rotation dubbed “Talkin Out da Side of Ya Neck” and Buddie was asked to name one person who’s been doing the most talking lately.
I can’t really point no fingers, but Nas did name his album ‘Hip Hop Is Dead’, and I feel like, I could never speak with Nas on a one-on-one basis to see why he named it or how he really felt towards it. But, the people who say hip hop is dead, and Franchize is part to blame, I feel they’re just talkin’ nonsense. Like I say, if you ain’t talkin’ ‘bout no money, man, we ain’t even really tryin’ to hear you, so just keep your words to yourself.
Clearly, Buddie is talking out the side of his own neck. Someone needs to remind him that the issue of Hip-Hop Is Dead is so 1996 at this point.
