M.C. Hammer's Music Catalogue Sold at Auction

Poor Hammer!

His music catalouge was sold for a whopping 2.7 million

but he won't see a penny of it!

The sale was handled by the executor of his bankruptcy trust and

the new owner plans to license the music for movies and commericals.

Amazingly, Hammer raked in over 33 million dollars in 1991 but filed

for bankruptcy in 1996 claiming over 14 million in debts.

How did it happen?

Hammer had 17 race cars, a Boeing 747, a Kentucky Derby race horse,

a 20 million dollar mansion and a monthly payroll over $500,000.

Whatever!

It ain't what you cop, it's what you keep!

Timbaland Refuses to Participate in Missy Elliot Biopic

A studio trying to do a biopic about Missy Elliot

will have to do it without any mention of her former

production partner Timbaland.

Say What?

Timbaland says he wants no part of the movie. He says,

"I don't want to be in the movie. For me, that movie is all about her."

Uh yeah, but how can you talk about Missy's early days and not mention Tim?

How they gon talk about Missy and Aaliyah and not mention Tim?

That's crazy talk!

I knew something was up between them two when they all of a sudden stopped being seen together.

Foxy Brown Sued by Former Personal Assistant

By now you've heard Foxy Brown is being sued by

former assistant Rasheeda Ellis

who claims she was fired for no reason,

stiffed on her last week's pay, and the victim of terroristic

threats by Fox Boogie and her associates.

Well, last week Rasheeda showed up

to the wrong court house and the trial was delayed.

This week Foxy's people say the chick is disgruntled 'cause

she wasn't allowed into Foxy's inner circle.

Foxy's publicist tells Page Six Rasheeda had an

"unhealthy infatuation" with Foxy's personal life.

Plus, they caught her leaking personal emails to the

press and later found out all her references were fake!

That girl better be happy she didn't work for

Naomi Campbell or she'd be dead by now!

BTW,

I heard going deaf can happen as a result of excessive ecstacy use.

Outcast Turn Down Oprah Show Invite

Does this have something to do with that crazy Oprah Hip Hop beef?

Apparently Oprah wanted to promote Outcast's new movie Idlewild on her

show in September, but the guys said no!

Well, actually it was Andre 3000 who said no. Big Boi wanted

to do it and is said to be none too happy with his other half.

What's up with that, Dre? 

If they wants a crossover hit Dre better quit

playing and jump on Oprah's bandwagon, especially

if he wants a successful acting career. 

Folks are saying when his recording contract with Arista

is up, he's out of Outcast, because he's itching to make movies.

Please, say it ain't so!

Naomi Campbell Sued by Another Assistant

I'm sure you've heard by now, Naomi Campbell

is being sued by a third assistant. Yeah, can you believe it?

But that's not the all!

Word from across the pond is Naomi trashed

her billionaire boyfriend's yacht because she was angry with

the menu selection! They say she broke plates, pulled down

curtains and could be heard cursing across the harbor where the

boat was docked. I'll admit at first I thought it was funny,

this maid getting her butt kicked, random guys getting spit on,

but now I'm seriously starting to wonder if there is a mental health issue here.  

This is NOT normal behavior!

Either seek help immediately, or get a reality show!

Nia Long's New Man Gets in a Fist Fight with Her Ex

Can't a girl and her new man shop in peace?

Nia Long and her new man were in the mall

when they ran into Nia's ex- and baby daddy, Massai Z. Dorsey.

Why her baby-daddy step to her new man and get his butt kicked!?

They say Nia and her new man jetted so fast, Nia lost one of her shoes!

Outkast Break-Up Rumors Swirl

One minute TMZ says Outcast is going on tour minus Andre 3000,

then, in the same sentence, say they contacted

Outcast reps who say no tour has been announced.

Now which is it?

Are they going on tour or not?

They was all hugged up at the BET awards, promoting

music from their new movie Idlewild.

Let's just hope all the break up talk was just talk

and the tour rumors are half right!

This Idlewild trailer looks good.

Damon Dash Says There's No More Money in Hip Hop

There's no money in it!

Damon Dash tells This Is London,

"I couldn't buy what I wanted to buy. I'm talking cooks and drivers.

I got into clothes to make money."

Think he's lying?

Take a look at the Billboard Music Charts.

As of this week, only 2 out of the top 10 rap albums

are platinum and nobody went gold

but

take a look at the top country charts where

7 out of the top 10 are platinum and 4 out of that 7

are multi-platinum.

No wonder rappers be still selling drugs.

Gil Scott Heron Sentenced to Prison Time

Poet, musician, and hip hop Godfather, Gil Scot Heron

has been sentenced to 2-4 years in prison for

violating his parole after leaving his live-in drug treatment center.

Heron says the center stopped giving him his HIV medication

so he left.

Don't remeber when hip hop used to stand for something?

Busta Rhymes Says Jesus Was Black

Busta tells Guardian magazine,

"First of all, it's fact that Jesus was a black man.

That means he could have a descendant

that exists today that has dreadlocks and

has pants hangin' off his butt and makes rap records.

They don't want that to happen

- they don't want no one to know that there's a black man

that is more powerful than anybody on this planet right

now, that has a direct blood descendant trace to Jesus Christ."

I woulda been ready to back him up if he'd cited

Daniel 10:6 or Daniel 7:9 instead of

"The Da Vinci Code" as the basis of his argument.
