A while back it was rumored that the Louis Vuitton Don aka Kanye West quit rapping for singing after he switched up his sound for his latest album, 808s and Heartbreak. Well, if that were true Kanye would definitely need to take a few singing lessons. According to his protégé Mr. Hudson, ‘Ye is actually back in the studio spittin’ rhymes for a traditional hip-hop record. He says,

“Kanye’s getting back into rapping. He might make an old-school record on a tape deck, just like the Beastie Boys used to do. Just a drum machine, ghetto blaster and a microphone.”

Meanwhile, Busta Rhymes’ pockets have just gotten a little lighter as he’s been ordered to pay $75,000 to a fan he allegedly assaulted in 2003. Busta’s alleged beatdown victim, Alex Duncan accused the rapper and his bodyguard of whoopin’ his ass during a break at the rapper’s concert in Albany, NY. Duncan won the case due to an emotional testimony in which he claimed the ass whoopin’ was so severe that he suffered from anxiety attacks and nightmares ever since. Busta tells the NY Post,

“I don’t even go to parties anymore, because there’s always someone asking, ‘What happened to that Busta Rhymes case?’”

Here’s Busta Rhymes’ new video for his new single “World Go Round” featuring U.K. sensation Estelle. Surprisingly, I don’t have any complaints about the video. The visuals are great and there aren’t any booty shaking hoes insight. What’s not to like?!

ANY THOUGHTS?!

To kick off the holiday weekend right, Diddy and Ashton Kutcher along with “Malaria No More” hosted an all white affair in Beverly Hills, CA yesterday. A bevy of celebs including, Chris Brown, Megan Good, Mr. & Mrs. Carey and Lil’ Kim to name a few came out to join the fun. Diddy’s baby mama Kim Porter also came through, wonder if she and Cassie exchanged words. Real talk, Diddy is the only nicca I know who’s bold enough to have his baby mama and his jumpoff at the same place and at the same damn time!

POP THE HOOD FOR MORE WEEKEND FLICKS!

Meanwhile, The Dream performed at Jet Nightclub at The Mirage Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas last night. And of course Goldielocks was out there reppin’ like a mascot!

Sidebar: What’s up with the matching outfits?!

Busta Rhymes is really back on his bull sh*t especially on the set of his new video for “World Go Round” featuring U.K. sensation Estelle.

WTF is Estelle wearing?! Poor dress looks like a damn garbage bag if ya ask me!

Last night a plethora of celebrities including Ciara, Gabriella Union, LaLa Vasquez, and the Kardashian sisters flocked to Maxim’s 10th Annual Hot 100 Celebration at  Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, CA. Unfortunately for Gabrielle Union, model chick Jamie Gunns rocked the same Herve Leger bandage dress to the party. While, poor Ciara looked sickly in a strapless blue dress with some damn cornrows.

Meanwhile, Busta Rhymes popped bottles with Cedric the Entertainer, buddy Spliff Star, Hot 97’s Funk Master Flex and singer Natasha Beddingfield at his album listening party at TAJ in NYC.

Busta Rhymes spits a verse on Lady GaGa’s smash hit “Just Dance”. Listen carefully ’cause if you’re a big Jay-Z fan you’ll realize that the beat is from “N*gga What, N*igga Who” off of Vol.2: Hard Knock Life.
