Yesterday, Diddy took over Best Buy’s Union Square location in NYC to introduce the world to his latest venture “Diddybeats” headphones. The rap mogul’s “Diddybeats”  is another installment of Dr. Dre’s popular “Beats by Dre” imprint. AllHipHop caught up with Diddy at the launch event to find out just how involved he was in the development of “Diddybeats”.

“It was a true partnership between (Dr.) Dre and I. He took care of the sound part of it; I took care of the fashion part of it. I wanted to make them look as fly as Ferraris, Private Jets, Yachts. I also wanted to come with the colors; powdered pink, white and the sleek black that goes perfectly with the iPad”, said Diddy.

Looks like Dr. Dre has some “monster” competition! Rapper Jay-Z has partnered up with SkullCandy to offer music lovers “the best way to experience the soundtrack of their lives”, by creating “Roc Nation Aviator” headphones.

Already itching to get your hands on these bad boys? Well, you’ll have to wait a bit  ’cause they won’t be in stores until June.

Dr. Dre claims Death Row Records forgot about him so as payback he slapped them with a lawsuit to make sure they remember him. Yesterday, the rapper/producer filed suit against the label at L.A. Federal Court claiming since he dropped the label in 1996 he hasn’t seen any checks come his way. Apparently, the new owners of Death Row released a collectors album of his iconic The Chronic as well as a greatest hits album without his approval and he wants his cut. In a statement to the judge presiding over the case, Dre’s lawyer Howard King says,

“When it came to paying artist royalties and honoring limits on Dr. Dre recordings that could be released, the “new” Death Row Records, to quote our client, ‘forgot about Dre’. This lawsuit will make sure they remember.”

Dre is suing his former label for more than $75,000 for breach of contract, false advertising and trademark infringement.

Why is Death Row still around? Do they even have artists on their roster?

If you live in NYC come and experience the unveiling of Dr. Dre’s latest venture with Best Buy “Club Beats” at Best Buy’s Union Square location tomorrow, November 19th. The festivities will begin at 4 p.m. with appearances by Dr. Dre, Jimmy Lovine (Interscope Records & Geffen A&M), Will.i.am, David Guetta and more!

Dr. Dre fans will have to wait just a lil’ bit longer for the release of his highly-anticipated comeback album Detox to hit store shelves. The Hip-hop veteran has been working on the album for 10 years and had previously promised fans that it would drop by the end of this year, however he’s still not happy with the project and has pushed back its release date to 2010. Dre wants the album to be perfect and pushing back its release will give him more time to make sure that it is. He tells ABC News,

“I’ve been working on (Detox) for the last 10 years. Hopefully I’ll get it done at the end of this year and we can hear it next year.”

I know Dre wants it to be perfect, but does it really take 10 years to work on a damn album?!

I’m mad the south calls 50 Cent “CURLY”…huh, I don’t get it.
