Killah Priest has released The 3 Day Theory's"The Destroyer" featuring Steven King, Empuls and Onyx's Sonny Seeza. The track came about in an interesting manner, according to their label head. "Both Kount Fif and I are big fans of Onyx and we were having a discussion about how dope and slept on Sonny Seeza was," said the owner of Man Bits Dog Records. "I contacted Sonny and he told me he was available to come down in the next week or so. Plan was Sonny would come down for a couple of days and we would lay down a couple of verses. I got a call about a week later and Sonny was on his way. During the phone conversation he mentioned Killah Priest was coming with him. Sonny and Priest had been friends for years but had never done a song together. Also in the car was Steven King, an MC that Sonny had been working with."
Rapper 50 Cent goes off on fellow rapper Shyne during a conference call set up by Shyne's label Def Jam.
Rapper 50 Cent unleashed a profanity-filled tirade in a conference call with fellow rapper Shyne set up by Def Jam and XXL Magazine this week.
The entire phone call was filmed and later placed on 50 Cent’s Website, ThisIs50.com.
The video begins with 50 Cent, who was under a fake name, repeatedly trying to be routed to Shyne to ask his question. After various attempts 50 Cent is finally routed to Shyne and asks, “What is your real issue with 50?”
Shyne responds to 50’s question by stating that “there ain’t no issue” with 50 Cent. Seconds later the call is ended and 50 is muted from the system.
He tries a second time and is again muted, but is later connected to Shyne yet again.
“The 50 shit with Shyne and shit like that. I think that shit is a hoax,” said 50 Cent during the conference call. “I think it’s a way you try to gain attention in some ways because a nigga ain’t been fucking with you for 15 years. Like you been gone 10 years so he couldn’t have had no issues.”
Throughout the video various parts are edited to show Shyne looking somewhat confused as 50 Cent continues his tirade.
SNOOP DOGG’s call for a cameo on hit vampire drama TRUE BLOOD has been rebuffed – the show’s star SAM TRAMMELL insists the series does not need superstars to entice viewers.
The rapper is a huge fan of the racy bloodsucking series, and urged TV bosses to get in touch with him to organize a guest appearance.
He recently said, “I love that show. I wish I could be on it. I’d be a hell of a vampire, don’t you think ? So what’s happenin’ ? True Blood, get at me – Snoop Dogg wants to be a vampire.”
But at a U.K. convention earlier this month (Aug10), True Blood shapeshifter Trammel admits the show’s creator Alan Ball is not keen on giving the rapper a tryout.
He tells fans, “Apparently Snoop has wanted to be on the show from the beginning, but I don’t think Alan Ball is going to let that happen.
“Having such a high-profile person appear in the show, I think it would take us all out of Bon Temps (show’s location). (Alan) doesn’t need to cast Snoop Dogg to get people to watch.”

Well looks like Montana Fishburne aka "Chippy D" is getting all the attention she ever dreamed of since she hit the media outlets. Read her interview with AOL Black Voices and hear what the "always opinionated" Jamie Foxx had to say about her on his Sirius Satellite radio show ...
Despite numerous attempts by friends of Laurence Fishburne to try and stop the release of the sex tape and offering a payout of a million dollars to Vivid Entertainment, Montana wasn't having it. In a recent AOL Black Voices interview, Montana talked about the frenzy surrounding her porno, Kim Kardashian being her inspiration, her father's thoughts and feeling exploited by Brian Pumper.
Black Voices: To what do you attribute to all the hysteria?
Montana Fishburne: People are going to talk no matter what. I'm excited that people are talking about it. I hope everything turns to more positive. I mean, they should be more excited about new porn coming out. I haven't seen a young black female porn star in a long time. BV: Well, everyone wants to know what your father thinks about it? MF: I mean, I haven't talked to him directly yet. We have conflicting schedules, so it's been hard. But, he's upset. I hope he supports me. But as soon as I talk to him, you guys are going to hear something.... This is something I wanted to do; it's a goal that I had. I think he'll be proud that I accomplished one of my goals. So if I'm happy, I'm sure that he'll be happy, too. BV: How has Kim Kardashian really influenced you? MF: She inspired me to go to Vivid. I always wanted to do porn. That was a given. So when I decided to start getting in to it, to see how I was going to go about it, I looked to her. Kim Kardashian released her sex tape with Vivid. Paris Hilton, Kendra Wilkinson, Pamela Anderson, all these people. And they're well known for having celebrity sex tapes. And Kim's is the one that did the best. Not did the best, but I felt like she got the most hype and buzz out of it. And she decided not to do porn. I want to do another film. And if I do decide to go mainstream, I feel releasing porn with Vivid is the best company to do it with, because they have other avenues that they deal with. I'm loving Vivid right now. They're the best. BV: Now what's your association with Brian Pumper? He's saying that you have another movie coming out? MF: I did a music video for him, but with my porn career, I'm focusing on Montana Fishburne with Vivid. That's what it is. The whole Brian Pumper thing, I look at it as a mistake honestly. And I'm trying to get away from that and focus on Vivid and the release of this movie. BV: Do you think he's exploiting you? MF: Yes, I feel taken advantage by Brian Pumper. I don't really want to go into details about the situation. Jeremy [Greene, an aspiring porn actor], he feels for me, he knows how I feel about it. He has talked to Brian, and they have dealt with each other, because I don't even want to deal with him anymore. I'm not in contact with Brian Pumper, and I'm just trying to get rid of the situation.
All the attention geared towards pubbing Montana's new "film" has sparked Jamie Foxx to say something. We would have appreciated Oprah, but Jamie decided to step in and let this "black girl lost" hear a few of his choice words about her and Brian Pumper. Jamie Foxx Foxx took some shots at B. Pumper's rapping ability, saying Pumper should "stick to f***ing and buffing n***as penises because he is the worst rapper ever." The Foxxhole radio crew showed no mercy on Montana's pimple scarred butt cheeks either. Jamie also made sure to say what he would do if his daughter ever thought about releasing a sex tape.
Montana was not pleased when she heard the mean remarks from Jamie Foxx and his radio crew so took to her twitter page. She claimed that Jamie Foxx was also debuting a film--- a gay porno with Vivid Entertainment. LOL. Good way to stir up those gay rumors since Jamie Foxx's sexuality is always being questioned.
