We got word yesterday via Twitter from DJ Big Mike that 50 Cent, Eminem, Jay-Z and Dr. Dre had a collaboration in the works that they were getting ready to drop. Nice of them to drop a New Year’s gift off early, in the form of their new song called “Syllables”. The track also features bonus verses from Cashis and Stat Quo. Madness.
It looks like Rihanna is back on the market. According US Magazine, she and boyfriend Matt Kemp have officially parted ways after about a year of dating. A source close to Rihanna tells US, “It was never as serious as it looked. It was always just about having fun.”
Another source claims, “It happened over the last few weeks…she basically was just over it. He can’t keep up with her crazy travel schedule. Matt’s sick of always following after her like a puppy dog all over the world. He wants something more normal.”
Something more normal ehh? Aren’t you a professional baseball player? On to the next one…

Alicia Keys is back to turning out solid music with a new song about her two-and-a-half-month-old son, Egypt Daoud Dean. Keys recruited her hubby Swizz Beatz to produce the song called “Speechless” featuring her “Gangsta Lovin’” collaborator Eve.
Keys samples Kanye West’s “Devil in a New Dress” for the new joint.
Press play.
The reigning Queen of Hip Hop Nicki Minaj is featured on the March/April ’11 cover of King Magazine. Check out an excerpt from the feature below.
KING: History has shown that acting is the likeliest transition for rappers. Considering your background, do you want to dabble in Hollywood?
NICKI MINAJ: Of course.What would be your dream role?
I’d like to play someone in a Tim Burton movie, where I get dressed up and painted and crazy.You kind of do that now.
Then I want to be able to do some action stuff, like Angelina Jolie.Like in Salt?
Yes! And then I’d like to just play a regular girl who, you know, is facing the world. Something really sentimental and organic, that girls all around the world can identify with. You know, how Jada Pinkett Smith did in Jason’s Lyric.Classic film. You did mention earlier how everything has been time consuming. But when that time frees up, what kind of guy do you look for to be sentimental and organic with?
Um, I look for someone who is calm, someone who is strong enough to not have to win every argument, someone who allows a woman to be her crazy self and someone with a conscience not to feel less of a man. You know, someone who is able to honor his woman but also bring out the freak in his woman.How should your Ken bring out the freak in you, Barbie?
Just being super aggressive when the time is right.Are we talking about Mortal Kombat–style “Come here” aggression?
Just something that makes me feel like they’re in control, when we are behind closed doors.
50 Cent wasn’t about to let the blizzard that hit the northeast this past weekend stop his hustle. The rapper/entrepreneur took to several neighborhoods in New York to shovel driveways for a mere $100. Fif even hired a few kids to help him out with his small venture.
Christmas for the Game wasn’t very merry this year, after he was robbed of $75,000 and jewelry while shopping on Christmas Eve. Game hit up the Westfield Topanga Mall in Conaga Park, California to buy Christmas gifts for his three children, only to return to his friends car to find a boat load of things missing. Game took to his Twitter to share his digust for the police and burglars.
“So, heres my day: tried 2 do last minute shoppin 4 da kids & valet stole a Louis Duffle out @avanterose’s car & we 2 chains & $75,000 short,” he tweeted. “So police come & guess who get patted down ? Yea, US !!! then they tell us da palmtree was blocking the crime scene on the tape.”
Game believes the valet at the mall was in on the heist.“Topanga Mall Nordstroms valet is janky as FUCK !!! They gotta a lil stealing ring goin, PARKS YA OWN SHIT from now on!”
Apparently the police showed up at the scene but didn’t get much done. “Then after 4 hrs of no answers we drivin off & da most racist of all da cops gone say: ‘Thats a sweet ride man’. WHAT ?!? B!tch, investigate.”
Why couldn’t the cops find the culprits? All because palm trees were blocking the security cameras in the area.“Nordstroms talmbout the palmtree was in the way of the crime scene…….. Mothafucka please ! $75,000 dollar lesson learned.”
Game and his friend left the mall without their stolen goods and $75,000 in cash. Bah humbug.
