SAIGON VS. MOBB DEEP! (Video of the fight.)
Now, I don't really know the situation with these people- all I know is that Mobb Deep was at a club in NY doing a performance, and Saigon n his people were either on stage at the time or they got on stage after the song and thats where everything gets out of hand.
The fight went down, and Mobb ends up running Saigon out the club chasing him in the streets n shit.
Im assuming Saigon and Mobb Deep have a history?
-If anyone knows, can u let us in on it.

HOT! NEW JAY-Z ALBUM, "AMERICAN GANGSTER", IN NOVEMBER!
Less than a year after Jay-Z’s “comeback” album Kingdom Come, the president of Def Jam has hit the studio to record his first “concept” album. Inspired by the upcoming Denzel Washington / Russell Crowe film with the same title; American Gangster. A Ridley Scott directed film that portrays the life of Frank Lucas, a 1970’s heroin kingpin out of Harlem.
In a recent interview with The New York Times Jay revealed that the film sparked his creative side; leading to nine recorded tracks, in which almost everyone was impelled by specific scenes in the movie. “It was like I was watching the film, and putting it on pause, and giving a back story to the story,” he noted.
After Brian Grazer (the film’s producer) and Scott resisted grabbing Jay-Z for the film’s soundtrack, Jay offered to put out his own album in association with the movie; while Def Jam will take care of the official soundtrack (including songs from the Staple Singers, Bobby Womack and Sam & Dave).
“Watching that film, it brought back all these memories … It took me back to those emotions,” Jay said and while stating that American Gangster will be a return to the gritty, uncensored view of life on the streets.
Throughout the interview Jay was said to be elated about his creative process while repeatedly interrupting himself to mouth lyrics like the following, from a track entitled No Hook…
“Poor me, dad was gone, finally got my dad back/ liver bad, he wouldn’t live long, it snatched my dad back”
And the following from another track…
“This is the genesis of a nemesis/ mother America’s not witnessed since/ the Harlem Renaissance/ birthed black businesses”
-"Blue Magic" is suppose to be the first single n its rumored to be produced by the Neptunes. Anyone heard it yet? I haven't.

KEITH MURRAY ROBBED IN SOUTH AFRICA!
Rapper Keith Murray was held up in a South African recording studio on Tuesday night (September 18) and robbed for his laptop and cash.
According to South Africa’s Pretoria News, Murray was at work in the Cube recording studios in Parkview when two armed men stormed the room and demanded everybody’s cash and cell phones. Four laptops were also taken, including Murray’s Apple Mac. According to Lance Stehr, CEO of local record label Ghetto Ruff, the rapper’s laptop contained “the last 12 years of his work.”
Keith is in South Africa working with producer Bongani Fassie that samples his mother Brenda Fassie’s song, “Weekend Special.”
Stehr noted that as the men were leaving, they yelled out “Hey Fassie boy, continue making hits.”
Murray is said to be offering a reward of around $7,000 U.S. for the return of his computer.
I hope he had an external hard drive, where he backed-up everything.

PAPOOSE DROPPED, FROM JIVE RECORDS!
I don't really know whats going on with this, I think it's still developing so that the story can get 'official' on why they left his ass- but people are saying, because Pap's people and Jive weren't getting along on the release date and the company couldn't clear the samples used on the album.
So much for the '1.5 Million-dollar man.' 
DJ Kay Slay speaking on this:
zSHARE - release from jive - papoose.mp3

MARK ECKO BUYS BARRY BONDS' 756 BALL N LETS U DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH IT!
Fashion designer Marc Ecko had the winning bid Saturday in the online auction for the ball that Bonds hit last month to break Hank Aaron's record of 755 home runs. The final selling price was $752,467, well above most predictions.
Ecko, 35, has set up a Web site that lets visitors vote on three options for the ball: give it to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, brand it with an asterisk before sending it to Cooperstown or blast it into space on a rocket ship.
The asterisk would suggest that Bonds' record is tainted by alleged steroid use. The Giants slugger has denied knowingly using performance-enhancing drugs.
Site to vote:
For The Record...

LOL! BARRY BONDS' RESPONSE TO THIS!
"All of those options don't weigh anything," Bonds told the San Francisco Chronicle on Tuesday night in Phoenix. "In baseball, that number (756) stands."
Bonds said Ecko could have found a better way to spend three-quarters of a million dollars.
"He's stupid. He's an idiot," Bonds said. "He spent $750,000 on the ball and that's what he's doing with it? What he's doing is stupid."
Ecko did not directly respond to Bonds' comments Wednesday, but said in a statement he would make Bonds a custom T-shirt that says, "Marc Ecko paid $752,467 for my ball, and all I got was this 'stupid' T-shirt."
LOL at what Ecko offered Bonds.

PLAYSTATION PHONE IN FEBRUARY 08?!
Think we're all sure a Sony gaming phone is coming. Question is when.
Mobile Entertainment seem to believe that it'll be February, during the Mobility World Congress. They also reckon the phone won't be PSP-branded (but you'd think it'd carry the PlayStation name somewhere), will be designed with gaming as the #1 priority and will be motion-sensitive, so expect a LocoRoco game somewhere at launch.
