Rick Ross aka Ricky Rozay aka The Teflon Don aka Officer Ricky can now go back to being plain ole Rick Ross.
All those random aliases are no longer required because the multimillion lawsuit filed by the REAL Rick Ross (“Freeway” Ricky Ross) over the name “Rick Ross” was officially dismissed on Monday (November 1st).
I’m sure Rick Ross is somewhere poppin bottles while Freeway Ricky Ross is shedding tears and checking his bank account. Continue Reading…

Jamie Foxx has teamed up with Drake for his sexy new single, ‘Fall For Your Type,’ from his forthcoming album ‘Body.’
The multi-talented 42-year-old is singing to my soul as he croons about falling for a certain “type” of person. We all have our preferences but Jamie puts those feelings to a song that I’m sure we all can relate to.

This is the first photo of Lil Wayne leaving Riker’s Island this morning a free man.? Fellow blogger KarenCivil snagged a snapshot of a photo from a photographer’s digital camera.
According to KC:
In the early hours of Thursday morning, there was word floating around that Lil Wayne would have to wait an additional day to be released due to ?miscalculated? time. Turns out out that was just a rumor because at approximately 8:35 a.m., the Young Money head honco became a free man for the first time in eight months.
Always with a camera, Scoob Doo managed to snap one of the first pictures of Weezy out of the bing. Expect to see this on the Nino Brown DVD.
Of course his entire Cash Money/Young Money crew was there to welcome him to freedom, including Birdman and YM freshman Bow Wow. Let the mixtapes begin…

As I revealed to you last week, Clifford “T.I.” Harris changed the title of his cd from “King Uncaged” to “No Mercy,” after receiving another Federal jail sentence.
Rap-Up recently revealed the cover shot, which displays a black-and-white image of somber T.I. with his head held down.
Tip, who turned himself in to the Feds earlier this week to begin serving his 11 month sentence for probation violation, revealed that this album will be one to remember.
?This album represents some of my best work inspired by my most recent best and worst life experiences,? stated an introspective Tip.
?They say adversity brings forth inspiration so y?all can imagine how inspired I?ve been during the recording process for this album. I?ve been taking stock of myself and digesting eveyone?s comments and criticisms. Now it?s my turn to express myself and take you into my mind. The real won?t hate and the truth won?t wait! If God is with me who can be against me.?
The project is the incarcerated rapper?s seventh studio album. It features appearances from Eminem, Kanye West, Christina Aguilera, The-Dream, and Chris Brown (?Got Your Back?), with production from heavy-hitters Dr. Luke, Danja, Jim Jonsin, and more.
“No Mercy” hits shelves December 7th.
