12 Most embarassing Exposures in HH
12. LA Times: Sorry, we duped you
In March 2008, LA Times writer Chuck Phillips ran a story that somehow tied Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jimmy “Henchman” Rosemond to the 1994 shooting of Tupac Shakur at Quad Recording Studios. The story, which was based on information obtained from unidentified FBI informants, claimed that Rosemond orchestrated an attack on 2Pac because he felt disrespected by the rapper. The Times further wrote he attack was supposed to be an assault disguised as a robbery, but escalated into a gun fight, resulting in ‘Pac being shot 5 times. Rosemond denied any involvement. Diddy called the report “false and ridiculous.” He was right.Turns out the story was completely fabricated by a convicted con man who enjoys making a fool out of hip-hop journalists. Among several structural inconsistencies, the expose showed that some of the documents used in the story had been typed on a typewriter, even though the feds stopped using typewriters 30 years ago. LA Times promptly apologized for their journalistic failure. Said Managing Editor Marc Duvoisin in his statement: “We should not have let ourselves be fooled. That we were is as much my fault as Chuck’s. I deeply regret that we let our readers down.” Needless to say, Chuck Philips was laid off after that fiasco.

11. Sigel, Who Shot Ya?
Sigel, born Dwight Grant, told police that four assailants jumped out of two cars and robbed him of $75,000 worth of jewelry, including a platinum chain and a watch, as well as $3,000 in cash. One of the attackers let off four shots. One bullet hit Sigel’s left shoulder. He then drove himself to a nearby emergency room at the University of Pennsylvania’s hospital.
Although the incident occurred in a residential neighborhood, nobody heard any gunshots. Worse still, cops were unable to find any shell casings on the street where he claimed he was shot. The street in question? McClellan Street, only a few blocks from the Sigel street that inspired Beanie’s stage moniker. A coincidence?

10. Dancing Dre
At the height of the Eazy-E vs Dr. Dre beef in 1992, the feuding friends traded insults non-stop. Just when it appeared as if Dre had sealed the deal with “Dre’s Day,” Eazy-E rebounded with “Real Muthafuckin’ Gs.” Eazy-E attacked Dre and Snoop, dubbing them studio gangsters who had never really witnessed the harsh realities of the “hood,” but that wasn’t the highlight. He devoted plenty of airtime to Dre’s past as a member of the electro-pop group World Class Wrecking Cru’ saying that he dressed in drag outfit while in the group. “Damn it’s a trip how a nigga can go so quick from wearing lipstick to smoking on chronic at picnics,” he rapped. Eazy also threw in a promo pic of Dre from 1986 dressed in pumps and mascara to boot.

9. Officer Rick Ross
It’s no news that Rick Ross modeled his rap persona after a famous drug kingpin, Freeway Rick Ross. In reality, Ross’ past most resembles that of the men who cuff drug dealers than a kingpin. When pictures of a young Rick Ross in prison guard uniform turned up on the ‘net, Rick Ross denied the reports vehemently, and insisted that it was a doctored image aimed at assassinating his character. A bottomless pile of documents from the Florida State Department of Corrections later revealed that Rick Ross had, in fact, worked as a Corrections Officer. Ross’ case of a fabricated past is nothing unique in the music industry. He later explained his motivation: “In the game we in, it’s real competitive,” said Ross. “Competitors have to do what they have to do to eat.”

8. Eve the Stripper & Sex Tape Star
When Harlem rapper-turned-pastor Ma$e ran into Eve at a strip club years before she became a rap star, but he never mentioned it to anyone. Some internet jerk who stumbled upon pictures of Eve from her stripping days, on the other hand, wasn’t so nice. In 2003, as Eve was in the middle of revamping her image in her new career as an artist and actress, unflattering pics of her in full-on stripper outfit surfaced on the web to the surprise of many. Some of the photos showed the Ruff Ryders’ first lady in a compromising position with another woman. She later denied being a lesbian, saying that the other lady had been Photoshopped into the original pictures.But there was nothing Photoshopped about the sex tape which turned up a couple years after the stripper expose. The clip, recorded in 1999, showed Eve and ex-boyfriend Stevie J getting their freak on, sex toys and all. Even though it was less than 30-seconds long, that didn’t keep Internet voyeurs from feasting their eyes on the explicit homemade tape. Eve was so infuriated by the leak that she not only issued a cease-and-desist to the sites hosting her sex tape, she also hired a private investigator to figure out how it got out. But we never really got to the, er, bottom of that case, did we?

7. Young Buck, a Cry Baby
Before he was unceremoniously dismissed from 50 Cent’s G-Unit crew, Young Buck spent plenty of time airing the group’s dirty laundry. In various interviews, the Tennessee rapper claimed 50 owed him some royalties and that he was getting screwed in his deal. To stir up buzz for G-Unit’s T.O.S.album, 50 unleashed an old phone conversation with Buck to the web. Throughout the call, Young Buck mentioned that he owes 50 some money while telling his boss about his own financial plight. At some point, he broke down over his dismissal from the Unit, “Sh*t got me confused, man,” he said repeatedly. To which 50 Cent coyly replied, “You’ll be alright, don’t worry about it.”

6. Eminem’s N-Bomb Fiasco
In a desperate attempt to paint Eminem as a racist who’s only out to exploit hip-hop, The Source founders Benzino and Dave Mays emerged with a tape that found a 17-year old Eminem using the N-word. On one of the songs from the 1988 tape, an amateurish Eminem spewed hateful venom at black women: “All the girls I like to bone have big butts/No they don’t, ’cause I don’t like that nigger shit/I’m just here to make a bigger hit.”
Eminem later explained that he rapped those lines out of anger, having been dumped by his black girlfriend. He issued several statements apologizing for the ignorance. Eminem may have allowed his exasperation with an ex-girl to bring out the worst in him, but the tape hardly made a dent on his reputation as a respected MC. Everyone from 50 Cent to Skillz came to Em’s defense on the issue. After all, it’s hard to argue that a rapper who embedded himself in a predominantly black culture his whole life and helped pave the way for one of today’s most successful black artists is a closet racist. Still, Em felt the need to explain the circumstances surrounding those songs and took the time to detail the entire saga on “Yellow Brick Road,” one of his best songs ever.

5. Lies, Lies, Baby
For a while in 1990 or thereabout, everyone on the planet was combing through Vanilla Ice’s past to see they could find any discrepancies in his stories. Ice repeatedly told the media that he had been raised in the mean streets of Miami. Adding salt to injury, Ice gave 3 different accounts of an incident, in which he claimed he was stabbed 5 times and lost half of his blood.
It was later revealed that the tough-talking Ice wasn’t raised in the streets. Robert van Winkle actually spent the better part of his teen life in an affluent Dallas suburb. His stories about attending an all-black Florida high school and living a rugged life of crime were revealed to be tall tales

4. The Sauce
When The Source suddenly went bankrupt, the last explanation their Board of Directors expected was: “Ray and Dave squandered all the money on weed and bling.” Like a 7-headed dragon, their problems multiplied daily. A Manhattan lithographer sued for $30,000. A 5th Ave. jeweler wanted $36,000. The magazine’s travel agent wanted $142,000.
As if that wasn’t enough, former Editor-in-Chief Kim Osorio filed a sexual harassment lawsuit. Osorio’s description of The Source work environment sounded like something straight out of a Benzino song: a “raunched-out workplace where executives watched porn, smoked pot and called female employees bitches.” A federal jury in Manhattan awarded a whopping sum of $14.5 million to Kim for her troubles. Benzino response? “She’s a slut.”

2. Two-Face Cam’ron
In an April 2007 appearance on CBS’ 60 Minutes to discuss the impact of snitching on the black community, Anderson Cooper asked Diplomats co-founder Cam’ron whether he would cooperate with the police if he knew that a murderer lived next door to him. Cam’s response defied reasoning and ignored common sense: “If I knew the serial killer was living next door to me? I wouldn’t call and tell anybody on him. But I’d probably move,” he replied. “I’m not going to call and be like, ‘The serial killer’s in 4E.’”Cam said, at the time, that snitching was bad for business as far as hip-hop goes. He maintained that it was in strict violation of his code of ethics and he would never condone it under no circumstances whatsoever. After a Smoking Gun investigation unearthed document that showed Cam’ron clearly cooperating with law enforcement following a beatdown at a Harlem playground, Cam was suddenly singing from a different hymn book. He quickly issued a statement apologizing for the comments on 60 Minutes. “Looking back now, I can see how those comments could be viewed as offensive, especially to those who have suffered their own personal tragedies or to those who put their lives on the line to protect our citizens from crime,” said Cam. “I in no way was intending to be malicious or harmful. I apologize deeply for this error in judgment.”

1. Nas and Jay-Z Had Something in Carmen:
There are so many theories on why Jay-Z and Nas suddenly found themselves embroiled in one of the most memorable feuds in hip-hop history. Was Nas jealous of Jay’s commercial exploits? Was Jay dissing Nas’ baby mama on “Is That Your Chick”? Nas’ ex-girlfriend Carmen Bryan will tell you that she’s the unintentional brain behind the beef. Probably out of respect, both Jay-Z and Nas tried at first to conceal the fact that Carmen, who has a daughter with Nas, had anything to do with the battle. Here’s Jay-Z on the classic Nas diss “Takeover”: “You know what with you know who, but let’s keep that between me and you.” Nas on “Last Real Nigga Alive”: “She hit the streets , later on she hittin’ the sheets With a rapper who wanted me on his songs.”In her Superhead-esque memoir, It’s No Secret: From Nas to Jay-Z, from Seduction to Scandal–a Hip-Hop Helen of Troy Tells All, Carmen Bryan revealed intimate details of her affairs with Allen Iverson, Jay-Z and Nas and how it impacted the beef. Here’s an excerpt from her book: “Throughout our clandestine relationship Shawn [Jay-Z] had made many references to me in his lyrics. But he had never said anything negative or explicit and had never used his relationship with me to taunt Nas.This was turning into an urban soap opera with me in a leading role as the femme fatale.”
The beef culminated with Jay-Z finally admitting to an affair with his biggest rival’s fiancee on “Super Ugly,” featuring these infamous lines: “Me and the boy A.I. got more in common than just ballin’ and rhymin’/ Get It? More in Carmen/ I came in ya Bentley backseat/ Skeeted in Jeep/ Left condoms in tha baby seat.” Disgusted by her son’s actions, Jay’s ma dukes demanded that he apologize publicly to Nas and his family. He obliged.

Behind The Scenes: the Game - My Life
A little behind the scenes footage of the video shoot with The Game, Lil Wayne plus a Young Buck and Cool & Dre cameo

The Game - My Life
Nodj Dirty Version
"You see them 24’s spinning, I earned ‘em/and all the pictures of me and Em, I burned ‘em/ so there ain’t no proof that I ever walked through 8 Mile/and since there’s no Proof, I’ll never walk through 8 Mile"
The Game has made a statement concerning his track that leaked this morning titled My Life. He opens up about his Eminem/Proof line and tells us the reason why it’s been changed for the album version.
When I originally wrote the song “My Life” I was trying to think back on events that affected my life and how they changed me.When I first got signed to Aftermath and G-Unit I was exposed to so many different people from Dre to Em to 50 to Proof. I always identified with Proof. We were always cool and he would reach out to me when ever I was going through something I remember when Proof died vividly and now every time I think about going to Detroit I get depressed. That is what I was trying to say in that verse and the more I looked at I realized thatpeople would take it the wrong way…the way they are taking it now that it leaked. So I decided to change it so that this bullshit wouldn’t happen and now it’s happened anyway. For the record,this is not the version on my album, this is not the version that radio will get and this is not the version that I just shot the video to. Furthermore, I apologize to anyone who took this the wrong way as that was never my intention.

T-Wayne
The much talked about collab album between Lil Wayne and T-Pain seems to be coming together. T-Pain described the project to MTV by saying "T-Wayne is an entity that's just gonna take over a side of the game," continuing "It's two artists that done collaborated with every artist in the industry except each other. Being that we getting together, this T-Wayne movement is getting crazy. T-Pain went on to talk about how the project will work, "He's sending me blank tracks, I'm sending him blank tracks," continuing "He's sending me tracks with hooks, I'm sending him tracks with hooks. It's just our hectic schedules are keeping us from recording. ... But we both have studios on the bus. So we take that tour bus anywhere we go — it's a done deal."
Bobby V gets own label
The DTP/DefJam reject Bobby Valentino has secured himself a deal with EMI for his imprint, Blu Kolla Dreams. The first project for the Atlanta crooner will be an album aptly titled The Rebirth. Now there has never been any real explanation as to why Bobby V was dropped from Luda’s label. His debut went platinum and his sophomore went gold, which is pretty decent in this day and age.

N@s and Premo and Dr Dre
No matter how much anyone has enjoyed a Nas album, nearly everyone has clamored for the day that Nas and DJ Premier would link up for an entire album. There was rumor of the two collaborating awhile back but it unfortunately never came to fruition. While Premo has reportedly been busy with his own projects, he mentioned to DX awhile back that Nas never reached out to him for Untitled. But it appears that Nas is now taking the first step in making the dream album come true.
While performing at a concert on July 15th, Nas directed an appeal towards DJ Premier in front of the fans attending. What Nas wants is an entire album produced by the legendary Premo. Whether or not this dream comes true is still a mystery. But Nas isn’t done with his dream collaborations yet.
“I want to do an all-Dr. Dre album,” he told MTV News recently. “A whole thing with Dre and a whole thing with Premier, and drop ‘em on the same day. That’s the real thing. All right, I said it. That’s what I really wanna do.”
While there have been no preliminary talks with either Dr. Dre or DJ Premier, one has to wonder if either of these projects have the remote possibility of coming to life.
Detox is comin
The wait for Detox is almost over. Dr. Dre says his long-anticipated third solo album is starting to take shape in the studio and could arrive before the end of the year.
"I'm just now — over the last couple of months — starting to feel that it's going to be right and it's something I can be proud of, and everybody is going to love it," says Dr. Dre (aka Andre Young). "In a perfect world, I'm shooting for a November or December release."

Ro$$ was a PRISON GUARD
Apparently desperate to distance himself from any affiliation with law enforcement, the rapper Rick Ross has recently denounced as fake photos purporting to show him in a former career as a Florida prison guard. But Department of Corrections (DoC) records show that Ross, whose raps detail the Miami gangster lifestyle and his supposed days trafficking cocaine, did, in fact, work as a correctional officer for 18 months.
Ross (real name: William Leonard Roberts) was appointed a prison guard in December 1995 at a salary of $22,913.54, according to the below personnel record, which was provided to TSG by Jo Ellyn Rackleff, a DoC spokesperson. The rapper's social security number is identical to that of the jail guard. According to the official document, Ross was earning $25,794.34 when he left the department in June 1997.
After graduating from the DoC training academy, Ross was assigned to the South Florida Reception Center in Dade County (the lockup is one of three statewide that serves as an intake facility for new prisoners). When a photo of a uniform-clad Ross surfaced last week on MediaTakeOut.com, the 32-year-old performer claimed that unnamed "online hackers" put "my face when I was a teenager in high school on other peoples' body. If this shit was real don't you think they would have more specifics, like dates and everything?" He added, "Fake pictures are created by the fake, meant to entertain the fake." The photo, which you can find here, shows a 19-year-old Ross at a DoC ceremony (he was part of the department's 60th graduating class). He is pictured shaking hands with Marta Villacorta, who then headed the South Florida Reception Center.
Villacorta, now the department's South Florida regional director, was identified by Rackleff, who examined the photo Ross claims was Photoshopped. In a recent videotaped interview, Ross replied, "No, that's not true" when asked if he had worked as a prison guard. He claimed that the phony story was being circulated by detractors upset by his success in the rap world, where, "I came out of nowhere and just took over the streets."

T.I. Collabo with Fall Out Boy
If you are a T.I. fan and you have been counting down the days till' his new album
Paper Trail hits stores, you will have to wait a little longer. The long awaited album
will now hit stores on September 9th, according to MTV News. His latest single
"Whatever You Want"recently hit the internet but the real buzz is about a
collab he did with Fall Out Boy for the album.
Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy says “[It’s like] something from The Nightmare Before
Christmas. After hearing about the chance to do a collaboration with someone like
T.I. we thought, ‘How amazing would it be to send him something with strings and
a Danny Elfman-like intro that Patrick [Stump] came up with? Lyrically you can take it
as [being about] a friend, a lover, or even a fan.”
Paper Trail hits stores, you will have to wait a little longer. The long awaited album
will now hit stores on September 9th, according to MTV News. His latest single
"Whatever You Want"recently hit the internet but the real buzz is about a
collab he did with Fall Out Boy for the album.
Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy says “[It’s like] something from The Nightmare Before
Christmas. After hearing about the chance to do a collaboration with someone like
T.I. we thought, ‘How amazing would it be to send him something with strings and
a Danny Elfman-like intro that Patrick [Stump] came up with? Lyrically you can take it

Eminem Is Workin
Em may finally be ready for the stage again as Entertainment Weekly caught word from Bishop Lamont that Eminem has recently been in the studio, and that he’s heard “some amazing stuff.”A fellow member of the Aftermath camp, Bishop Lamont has been aroundEminem long enough to understand the situation at hand. “He's been quiet too long, and he's got a lot to get off his chest,” stated Lamont, referring to Proof and other incidents that have occurred in the last four years.Knowing that Eminem faced many struggles and adversities to get to this point though, Lamont appropriately described the process that has manifested within Em. “He went through what he had to go through, and now he's been able to take all the pain and stress and put it out in his music.”
To reiterate Lamont, the label (Aftermath/Shady) also confirmed that Eminem has indeed been in the studio.

New Sound in John Legend's Next album
This time John Legend insists that
the album will have a new sound. The proof may be in the pudding with the lead
single that features Andre 3000 titled "Green Light."
the album will have a new sound. The proof may be in the pudding with the lead
single that features Andre 3000 titled "Green Light."
John states:“We liked the idea and sent it over to Andre because we thought he would be
perfect for it. We felt it needed his flavor. He rhymed on it and we felt like it was the
right song to go with first. So we’ll be shooting the video in a couple of weeks,”
The song is considerably more upbeat than the usual John Legend outing. But this
is something that he said would be prevalent throughout his new album.
"It's going to be a surprise for a lot of John Legend fans, because it is a lot more
upbeat than John is — than people think John is," Andre stated in a previous
interview with MTV. "I was actually happy to hear it. This is a cool John Legend
song."
So the question is whether or not this new direction was Legend's idea or his label.
“I’m just making music,” Legend says. “My record company doesn’t call me saying
‘John we need you to do this.’ I just go out there and try to make records that I would
love and I think the audience will love.”
Look for the video to "Green Light" coming soon and Evolver this fall.

NEW Westside Connection?
Word is Game is filling some serious shoes when it comes to his new role with Westside Connection. The group which originally consisted of Mack 10, Ice Cube and WC was disbanded in around 2005. But recent reports have implied that Game is going to be stepping up and taking Mack 10’s place. Not quite sure what Mack 10 has to say about this as he has always implied that people were just going in their own direction and the group was null and void, there would be no replacements.
