Talk of the Streets

Loose lips have been flapping in the entertainment world this past week like the excess skin on Star Jones' arms. Time for an update on the rumor mill.

Dipset member, Jim Jones, has had an outstanding rivalry with rapper, Tru Life, for a while. There was some drama months ago starting when Tru called out Jimmy during a show in Puerto Rico, but it died down. Now, thanks to Killa Cam and his "You Got It" diss record to Jay-Z, Tru Life (signed to Jigga's Roc-La-Familia) jumped back into the bullshit and was heard talking shit at the Puerto Rican day parade in NY. Instead of grabbing a mic and insulting him back, Jim Capo decided to settle the battle old-school style, challenging Tru to an all out fist fight and betting $50,000 that he'd win. I also heard that Cam and Juelz put up $20,000 sidebets. It's kinda funny how quick Jim is to throw down after the whole Junior MAFIA/Rucker Park nonsense. Allegedly, Tru has accepted and is ready to rumble. I hope it doesn't really go down because if it does someone is bound to die.


Well, where is Jay-Z in all this? Please, that dude is still arguing with the Frenchies. He told Vogue.com that the boycott of Cristal has worked out in his favor.

"The response from our customers at 40/40 has been incredible," he said. "This weekend, we sold more bottles of Krug and Perrier Jouet than [ever] and we expect that trend to continue."

Duh, of course you did. It's not like they can buy anything else, except a glass of Pepsi or $75 water maybe.


Ludacris has a new diss record out called "War With God" where he is goin hard at an unnamed artist. He's left a lot of people puzzled including myself, because we just can't figure out who he's talking to. Some think it's Young Jeezy, others say Lil' Wayne, and I even heard Rick Ross' name brought up. I believe it could actually be T.I., who he actually had a small falling out with before.

Well, I'm done with the gossip for today. Live, Learn, and Love.
