From
The Voice:
Kanye West, who picked up two awards, loved the show so much he was filming it with his own camcorder.
�I�m happy I didn�t perform this year. Busta ripped the show crazy, Puffy just killed it with Young Joc,� he says. �This is the best music right here and we gotta keep on giving it.�
The
SoundScan numbers are in and Yung Joc holds strong at 11 with 46,968 copies sold. Just a short drop from last week. He's sitting at 365,474 total.
Our newest section is up:
Bad Boy Release Production History.
Personally, as a Bad Boy fan, I was curious as to who the people were who had produced the most tracks on Bad Boy releases. I mean, yeah, I knew number 1 was Diddy. And I could guess that Stevie J., D-Dot and "Chucky" Thompson were up there. But, I didn't know for sure where they all fell and I figured others would be curious, as well.
So, I sat down with all of the album booklets and poured over them for a good 6 hours plus to compile this data. The top 10:
1. 202 - Sean "Puffy" Combs/P. Diddy/Sean "P. Diddy" Combs/Sean P. Diddy Combs/Diddy
2. 91 - Mario Winans/Mario "Yellow Man" Winans
3. 58 - Steve Jordan/Stevie J./Steven "Stevie J." Jordan
4. 49 - Deric "D-Dot" Angelettie/Derek "D-dot" Angelettie
5. 33 - Harve Pierre/Harve "Joe Hooker" Pierre
6. 30 - Chucky Thompson/Carl "Chucky" Thompson
6. 30 - Nashiem Myrick/Nashiem "Hard White" Myrick
8. 28 - Daron Jones
9. 21 - J-Dub/Jeffrey "J-Dub" Walker
10. 20 - Ron "Amen-Ra" Lawrence/Ron "AMEN-RA" Lawrence
10. 20 - Tony Dofat

From
BET:
And your album, which comes out in October, is there a title for it yet?
We actually don�t have a title for the album. So at the end of the day, it will be self-titled. ...
What producers did you work with so far for this album?
Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins, a lot of producers. Yogi, EZ Elpee, a lot of stuff going on.
Don't have a title? Self titled is the title! But, October is a long time away. Looking forward to it, either way.
Again, from
AllHipHop.com's rumor section:
As soon as these things start, they are over. Somebody close to Diddy and Kim Porter has issued a statement that they aren't getting married. I guess we'll have to assume that they are happily unmarried like Gene Simmons and his babe. That's better than being married and miserable, right? Anyway, Hip-Hop Wives on the E! Channel last night was a real revelation! (By the way, Kim is the mother of one of Diddy's children, not two as I said Friday.)
From
AllHipHop.com:
The family of the late Notorious B.I.G. has requested an expansion to their wrongful-death lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles.
According to a 94-page motion, the family contends that Los Angeles Police Department officer Rafael Perez was on duty at the Petersen Automotive Museum the night of the killing.
The motion also referenced a list of incidents the family believes show a pattern linking police to crimes involving rap stars, including Snoop Dogg and the late Tupac Shakur.

This clip, supposedly from the making of the video for Danity Kane's Showstopper, features a verse from Yung Joc. This could (and probably does) mean that he's on the final version of the song.
