  • Film company Morgan Creek is suing the estate of Tupac Shakur, claiming its Amaru Entertainment backed out of a deal to make a biopic based on the slain rapper’s life, according to Billboard. “There is no agreement with Morgan Creek, there never was, and there never will be,” said a lawyer for Amaru Entertainment.

  • When can we expect Jay-Z’s new album Blueprint 3? “If I don’t have any time constraints, I’ll mess around, I’ll never get it done,” he told MTV. “I’ll be Axl Rose out here! It’ll be 12 years later and we’ll be talking about Chinese Democracy.” The majority of the album is being produced by Kanye West.
  • And we thought that Tinted Windows supergroup was strange: Perez Hilton provides video evidence of what could be the worst hip-hop act ever — Bone Thugs-n-Harmony-n-Kevin Federline.
  • Prince will film a post-Oscar concert bash he supposedly didn’t even know he was having and put the whole event up on his new Website Lotusflow3r.com, Us reports. The Purple One says he was unaware he was throwing an Oscar party until actress Marion Cotillard RSVPed for it, which inspired him to actually throw an Oscar party.

    I can’t believe these big companies are fighting over the rights to portray one man’s life. They have no right.

    You guys suck! Bone is the best rap group! Don’t talk bad about them tell you listen to their music.

    Perez Hilton I totally disagree with what you said about Bone. They are talented and more popular than you will ever be. So before you start dissin’ people who have more fame than you. Work on trying to get yourself together porker

    I dont care what people say, Makaveli the don killuminati will forever be the raining “DON” of rap. I think its funny how rap groups try to bite his style thinkin they can become a legend. To bad, its never gonna happen. Shit be history bitch’s, cant rewrite it! Rappers today best take it like a man, no one could ever amount to Tupac’s style and especially HIS TALLENT!!!!!!!

    MAKAVELI THE DON FOR ALL TIME BIOTCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    WOW!!! Imagine how much the life story of Tupac would sell…After all the beefs, activism, shootings, hit albums after hit albums (Me Against The World=5million+, All Eyez On Me (Double Album)6million+, Makaveli The Don – Killuminati-7million+. The “+” means more cause from release til now they done sold over 10million each. A Tupac movie would rake in so much money. If I had a film company I would fight for it as well too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s some serious money…
