Official Curtis Cover and Some Comments on Cam

Turns out the police looking badge that was first rumored to be the cover to 'Curtis' was just fake. This cover looks like something taken from a magazine article about 50, it also looks like it could be a Brother Ali cover (you know what I mean). Maybe a title like 'Mr. Jackson' would have been better and fit the style of this cover better. In an MTV News article 50 says comments on the Cam situation: He's doing more damage to his crew than I could ever do. He's put them in a real awkward situation with his choices. When they had momentum, they had Jimmy out there doing records, Juelz was out there, they was doing good. Then they let this guy out there and look what happened. It's gonna be a 'hot summer.' What is he talking about? I'm waiting for the summer. After hearing directly from members of Dipset about the situation between Cam and Jimmy I will say that their beef is all being greatly exaggerated. I don't know if they all agree with what Cam is doing but I expect they are going to stand by him on all of this. The whole beef between 50 and Cam is a help to both artists, as long as it stays online (as it seems so far) things will be all good. If Cam doesn't bother 50 as much as he says he doesn't then he will stop talking about him. Jay didn't do much to help out Cam, he kept pretty quiet even with Cam saying Beyonce's name. Either Cam is really under 50's skin and he is about to self destruct or 50 knows the game well enough and is just going along with it because it is good press for everyone.

50's Response To Cam's Pool Video

50 sent (get it) Miss Info his response to the video shot by Cam'ron in response to 50's BET remarks. As you would expect 50 went straight for the jugular with the my pool is bigger than your pool response- My whirlpool is bigger than Cam’s swimming pool. And he shouldn’t be in front of no camera with daisy dukes on. Curtis is going to have to do better than that. All these responses to responses via blogs and online videos are leading up to some big ether right? Probably not, just more promotion for 50's new album. "June Fucking First, Curtis"

Cam'ron Answering To Curtis While On Vacation

Part 1: Part 2: Yes, Cam played right into it. 50 was on BET yesterday and called out Cam. When responding to whether he has heard from Cam 50 responded something like "I haven’t heard anything since he got punched in the eye…Go ask Tru life". That 50 is such a showman. Here are links to the video of 50's BET appearance Part 1 and Part 2. With 'Curtis' coming out soon I expect this situation to escalate some. I still can't believe Cam's video. "June Fucking First, Curtis"

The Shirt That Might Have Broken Up Dipset

Pictured above is Freeky and Juelz. You might recognize the red painted walls as that of Juelz's studio. Rumors are starting to circulate that it was these shirts that might be the center of the issues with the diplomats. These shirts are put out by True Love and False Idols and Cam'ron might have had some different feelings about an outside company putting Diplomat merchandise out. I stress the word might because at this point I don't really believe in this beef and I can't believe that this would be what set Cam over the edge. More images at Complex Magazine's Blog.

Dipset Splitset? Diplomats to break up?

According to Miss Info: Jim Jones or the Diplomats 300 are “putting Cam’ron on punishment.” According to an inside source (via Miss Info), Juelz Santana is not siding against Cam According to a Dipset insider (again via Miss Info), there are other members of Dipset who are also totally taken by surprise by this sentiment from Jim Jones, and they are also not in agreement. Here is a quote from Jimmy on the whole situation: “Me and Cam’ron haven't spoken to each other in a year…. I kept quiet out of loyalty, I felt like if we cant be friends then at least we can do business together….But now I can’t be next to you….I’m through wit being in hot water because of you….We still the Diplomats. We worked too hard to achieve our own success and now we’re gonna do something new….” Monday night, Jimmy is gonna be on the Funkmaster Flex Show (featuring Miss Info’s Celebrity Drama) on Hot97. One has to wonder if the 60 Minutes piece really put Jimmy over the edge with Cam.

Tru Life Punches Cam'ron (Video)

Tru Life Punches Cam'ron

The following is taken from SOHH: A fist fight between Dipset rapper Cam'ron and Tru Life last night (April 30) has New York's Power 105 morning show host Ed Lover grappling to get the two sides to sit down and make peace. This morning, Ed Lover reported the incident on his "Ed Lover Show with Egypt & Ashy." According to Lover, the two feuding MCs allowed their previously verbal beef to come to physical blows in front of a New York City club. "What happened last night was Cam was standing in front of Club Stereo and Tru Life confronted him about what's been going on back and forth on the mixtapes and they got into a physical confrontation. Pretty much Tru Life hit Cam, cops broke it up and everyone dispersed," Ed Lover told SOHH exclusively. No major injuries occurred and no one in either party has been arrested. Additionally, Ed Lover is currently doing his part to step in and prevent any further violence.

Adios

I have never watched The View but I do know that the world is a much better place without her on it. Nice work Donald.

Donald vs Rosie (Not Over Yet)

This was a topic that was covered very closely a few months back. I received some criticism for it and as the feud died down so did my desire to keep a close pulse to gossip blogs searching for bits on the beef. My interest was resurrected with this bit of news today from the New York Post. Donald Trump has unleashed a secret weapon in his feud with Rosie O'Donnell. Remember Rosie's movie "Exit to Eden"? Trump sent to Barbara Walters a gigantic black "undergarment" she wore in the movie on Monday to hang on the office wall at "The View." The girdle-like outfit - described as "a bustier" and "a giant pair of panties" - was bought at a charity auction by a fan, who then had the relic framed under glass and delivered to Trump. Here is what Trump had to say about the "gift" from Page Six: I sent it to Barbara to hang in her office because I didn't want it in mine. It was funny, except that it was really gross. It's disgusting. I feel sorry for [Rosie's] wife. It can't be pleasant. Trump played the 'Trump Card' and might have dropped the best ether of all time, thoughts? FRAMED UNDER GLASS!

What the fuck is this?

Cam changes album title to 'Courtesy Curtis'

Originally it was going to be called 'Fade to Black' and then 'Crime Pays' but after the announcement that 50 was going to call his album 'Curtis' Cam took action and changed it again. Ladies and Gentlemen the new Cam'ron album will be called... 'Courtesy Curtis' All this according to this interview of Cam on Miss Jones.

Cam'ron Catching Internet Predators

Word is the DVD will hit stores in September. Apparently Jim Jones will narrate and Cam will surprise the offenders. The rumor is that they have 12 people caught on tape already. I am pretty excited to see this. For more check out HHNLive.com. In case you haven't heard 50 has changed the name to his new album from 'Before I Self Destruct' to 'Curtis'. At first I thought this might have been an April Fools joke but no, Curtis seeks to reclaim his name. This is just like that situation you might or might not have encountered as a child. People always say that when you are called a name that bothers you act like it doesn't bother you at all and have other people call you by it, by doing so the person picking on you will leave you alone. On a totally unrelated subject, check out this G-Unit protest. Master P is......Black Supaman What does everyone think of the 'Drought 3'? I keep playing "Sky's the Limit", "Throw Some D's" and "Upgrade". I'm waiting for a real copy to get released.

Stephon Marbury vs LeBron James

There is nothing like two grown men having a public spat about who has better shoes. Steph's Starbury shoes go for $14.98 and his T-shirts and sweatshirts for $9.99. By comparison, James' Zoom LeBron IV retails for $150 and a James' T-shirts for $55. Why would King James be threatened by the Starbury shoes or Steph for that matter? Why does LeBron even need to say anything about it? The LeBron backlash started this year and it is due time. Lames made these comments about Nike in response to the Starbury brand before Wednesday's Knicks game: I think me being with Nike, we hold our standards high, we do a great job putting out great merchandise. Great shoes, that's part of a price that's pretty high, but at the same time you're getting great quality for it. Steph responded with these remarks upon hearing LeBron's remarks: I laughed. I'd rather own than be owned. When he retires, he's not going to own anything. I don't think he did his homework. We're putting out the same stuff he's putting out, just at an affordable price. But I understand that he's got to say that because it's part of the business. It should be noted that Steph is making 17 million this season while Lames is making $5.8M on the back end of his rookie-scale deal. I hope that Durant scores his 50 million dollar shoe deal and Stern and the NBA decide that LeBron is old news and we can file him with the likes of Harold Miner. Ok, that will never happen but it would be nice.

NYCE "Eulogy" (Dipset/Camron)

G-Unit rapper NYCE released this video in what appears to be the next line of visual assaults. Cuurrtis better be careful, word is Young Buck wants out. The only roadblock I could imagine the two having is that I'm sure the contract Cuurrtis has him under is pretty lock solid. I suggest you read this article from the NY Times on Koch Records.
