THE DAILY TWO CENTS

 First of all, don't forget the late rumors from yesterday! We had that massive Jeezy concert fight! A bad Lil' Kim rumor! You DO know a new war of words is heating up with Jay-Z and Jaz-O, right? OHHH...yeah...click to see them.

I want to thank everybody that rallied for me and illseed.com. Whew! I managed to resolve the issue with the good people over at wordpress. That was definitely a wake-up call though. I have to be in a better position to control my destiny. I know there will always be rules and constraints, but still…

A MEMBER OF B.G.’S CREW SHOT?

My boy Mike from N.O. hit me up and let me know what’s good. Unfortunately, what’s good is actually very bad. Mike was at the ER at University Hospital in New Orleans over the weekend tending to a family member. While he was visiting, he and his family apparently saw B.G. and his entourage, who was also there in ICU. Apparently, someone in his crew got shot, Mike said. Obviously this is all rumor and conjecture, but Mike told me that the legendary rapper looked pretty shook-up. Also, he said there were a lot of police there to ensure safety. Shout out to the 9th Ward and my homey Mike. To B.G. keep your head up!

MOS DEF QUIT THE TOUR

I was just talking about Mos Def missing the UK date of Rock The Bells. Well, I heard something. From what I understand, the first and last Mos Def appearance at Rock The Bells tour was the European spot in Amsterdam. I am hearing that backstage of that show, he had this incredible argument with the Rock the Bells organization. I don’t know that nature of the conversation with the group, but I am hearing that he was running around livid and yelling Shout out to Venz…

T-PAIN: THE ULTIMATE AUTOTUNE DISS

DJ Skee got with T-Pain and the vocoder/autotun copy cats. But T-Pain highlights that Ron Browz, the architect of the "Pop Champagne,” offered the WORST use of the song. I actually think I know some bigger names that have used the device with much less skill than Browz. I’m sure T-Pain didn’t want to call his buds out.

THE GAME GETS HIT WITH BOTTLE IN S.A.?

Everybody knows I love SOUTH AFRICA! Now, I know Africa is a huge continent, but it just so happens that I gravitate most. I don’t know why, but they are just cool to me. (Note: the rest of Africa, feel free to hit me up!) Anyway, somebody wasn’t so nice to The Game. As you know The Game was in Jo-Burg. I heard that The Game was performing in S.A. and somebody straight up hit him with a bottle. I don’t know how it affected The Game, but the person that threw the bottle reportedly got ETHERED by security. You all probably saw “The Game Boy” spitting all the rapper’s lyrics…anyway…I heard The Game gave the boy one of his expensive chains and $500.The Game even reportedly checked in, calling the boy’s family to make sure he didn’t get robbed. That’s dope! I heard it was one helluva show.

SHOUT OUT TO BLACK FAFF!!!!!!!!

MORE ON GAME IN AFRICA

Shout out to Kenya! The Game performed there (too?). But here is the rumor. He had an interview with a local television station and The Game said he loves Jay-Z’s music, but he’s got very little love for him a a person. This is what I HEARD, so don’t take it as law. The interviewer also asked Game about his beef with 50 Cent. He basically said that 50 was a jealous dude that didn’t want him to shine. ALSO, he allegedly said he would murder Bishop Lamont if he wasn’t on probation. LOL. Now, you know he’s kidding. Certainly he means lyrically.

ILLSEED’S QUICKIES

Island Def Jam Music announced that Jeff Straughn is the new Senior Vice President, Strategic Marketing of the label.

I forgot about Rihanna yesterday when I talked about the honeys. So there is Beyonce, Janet and RiRi! Check the vid:

Bump J is staring at 20 years for his alleged robbery of some bank. Hope he didn’t do that!

I heard Bow Wow had a recent show in Cincinnati and some gang member where allegedly trying to get at the lil’ G. They didn’t, but I heard perhaps Wow Wow was a lil too flashy. I don’t know about that though. What gang goes to a Bow Wow show.

FYI: Neither Estelle nor Dizzee Rascal were at that Urban Awards in London. They weren’t at the event. In fact Dizzee was at a show in Glasgow, the other side of the UK with DJ Semtex.

Did anybody hear that Bobby Brown got arrested?

Both Eminem and 50 Cent are now slated for a 2009 release.Wig pushed back.

Don Cornelius, former host of “Soul Train,” is looking at five years in jail.

STAT QUO GOES IN

Check out Stat Quo talking about his situation. The rapper gives some great insight on the situation how it went down with Aftermath, (alleged) gay label execs and a lot more! We've seen quite a few interviews with a Aftermath artists now… we have Stat…see what is said about the good Doctor.

Stat Quo goes in about the whole Aftermath situation. Click here for that.

EPIC FAIL OF THE DAY

I think America has the dumbest criminals in the world. Police in PA claim a Pennsylvania man attempted to rob a bank. Now that’s not the crazy part. When he tried, he couldn’t get any money because the tellers' empty cash drawers yielded no money! They had no money to give the man. This must be the brokest bank ever. In all reality, they were switching over the registers the moment the man came in. So they were ABOUT to bring them money. So what does the crook do? The would-be robber said that he was going to complain to the bank’s management for not having money for him to take. The man was picked up about 10 blocks away from the bank after a witness called the police. The man was 48 years old. What a fool.

SIGNS THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END

According to a report, an Australian man shot his lust interest when she wouldn’t perform oral sex on him. Now, isn’t that crazy? You know it gets worse. The name pointed and discharged his fire arm into the woman’s crotch when she said no. The man, Laurie Edward Elliott of Adelaide, has already been found guilty of threatening a person with a firearm and possessing a firearm without a license. The man claimed that the gun went off accidentally and hit her in the crotch. You know there are so many “puns” right here, I am going to stop typing.

RANDOM QUOTES

This random quotes is dedicated to Prince. He gave the New Yorker exclusive access to his life and here are some of the quotes.

“People with money—money like that—are not affected by the stock market, and they’re not freaking out over anything. They’re just watching. So here’s how it is: you’ve got the Republicans, and basically they want to live according to this.” He pointed to a Bible.

“But there’s the problem of interpretation, and you’ve got some churches, some people, basically doing things and saying it comes from here, but it doesn’t. And then on the opposite end of the spectrum you’ve got blue, you’ve got the Democrats, and they’re, like, ‘You can do whatever you want.’ Gay marriage, whatever. But neither of them is right.”

When asked about his perspective on social issues—gay marriage, abortion—Prince tapped his Bible and said, “God came to earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever, and he just cleared it all out. He was, like, ‘Enough.’ ”

ILL VIDS

Here is the video of Katt Williams…a bathrobe though? He's got an album out now so I wonder if this is a part of the marketing push?

Charlamagne Tha God bounces from Wendy Williams and takes it to the net. Check out him talk about this one of one sneaker.

PETA ATTACKS LINDSAY LOHAN!

Lindsay Lohan was minding her own business and when she was somebody from PETA threw a bunch of flour on the starlet. I don’t really know why PETA has to go about things in this way. Why don’t they go to where they kill the animals in the bushes of whatever country they are creating the skins.

WORLD SERIES OF HIP-HOP-A DIFFERENT VIEW!

I will be the first to admit, I know very little about this WSOHH stuff. But there is such a furor going on that I cannot ignore it anymore! I got another letter from somebody from North Carolina. Here is the letter and here is the response from the people at WSOHH, who are apparently plotting bigger and better fish to fry.

Hi Illseed,

              My name is [name withheld]. I'm a independent hip-hop artist from the Upstate of South Carolina. Back in July I put $375.00 of my own money towards a registration fee so I could compete for half a million dollars in the World Series Of Hip-Hop at the end of August in Atlanta, G.A. The event was supposed to have three different emcee weight classes based up age brackets. When the August date came and went, I sent an email to the Indie Film Exchange requesting a refund. It's November and still no refund. There were supposed to be celebrity judges like Kool G Rap & Big Daddy Kane and yet it never happened. I dunno whats up but I thought maybe I could shed a lil' more light on it for you. Enclosed is the response I got when requesting my refund. And just to show that I'm not bulls***ting, I'm going to forward the receipt to you as well.

HELLO,

My name is Ms Red Sable, I am the Marketing & Promotions Dir. for the WSOHH event.

I am reaching out to inform you of some of the major changes that are in store for the event.

1. If you have requested a full refund for ANY reason, please be patient your refund is in

being processed as quickly as possible.(*Please note: If you made a formal complaint with Pay Pal, unfortunately your refund process will take Longer because they have a Different refund policy process, so you will have to follow up with them.*)

2. if you are a Chairman's Pass recipient and did not get to perform before a judge in your city, please be patient we will be returning to your city.

3. if you are a registrant waiting for the "Qualifying Tour" to come to your city, please be patient , we will Re-turn to All cities listed on the web site.

Why are there so many drastic changes...to be BIGGER and BETTER with ...

MTV...we have established a special event partnership with the network, which caused us to STOP, REVAMP, and MOVE, forward with a Larger and Stronger format.

What this means is, we are now FULLY sponsored by MTV network TV! We have inked a bigger road tour and reality TV show deal to cover 50 plus cities across the nation, (including Florida, MD, and Arizona, to name a few) in oder to give as many people as possible the opportunity to become a registrant in the WSOHH with the Skills to win $1 million dollars!.

**We ask that you please continue to be patient, as we complete the transition with MTV networks, we should be able to give you a more detailed report about your refund and the Road Tour once we receive them from MTV in about 1-2 weeks.**

**Again we know this has been a Long and frustrating process, however we are moving as quickly as the TV Network will allow us to move.**

We are aware of how the constant changes may have caused you to question the validity of the event, but we assure you the World Series of Hip Hop is Real & Legitimate. We hope that you will decide to continue to be a part of it, but also understand if you don't, again our sincere apologies for ANY inconvenience these changes may have caused you.

We want to think you for your time, your patience and your consideration, and hope that you will want to remain a part of this historical once in a life time opportunity.
