It looks like Jayceon’s up to his old tricks again. Despite expressing his desire to reunite with 50 Cent in an interview with DJ Skee just days ago, the Compton rapper goes on wax to send a quick F.U. to his old boss. “Hub city, thugs with me, buck 50/ Reunite with G-Unit? B*tch, f*ck 50,” he raps on “Hollywood,” a bonus track on the iTunes version of his new mixtape, OKE (Operation Kill Everything), that features Scarface (note: the Houston vet doesn’t partake in the verbal assault).

Those of you that signed the petition on GUnitReunion.com (which was actually launched by The Game) earlier this year can probably wave goodbye to seeing “How We Do,” “Hate It or Love It” and co. in full glory again.

Kanye West death stare! LOL.

Kanye West’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live was set up as a mediation session after their confusing twitter “beef” of two weeks ago…what it ended up being was more like 15% Kimmel copping please, with the rest of the show being one long, dizzying, fascinating, run-on, inspiring, name-dropping, mission statement from Kanye West. (Oh, and 0% Arctic Monkeys. The musical guests got booted from the lineup because of Kanye’s verbosity, lol)

At one point, Ye tells Jimmy, he doesn’t care about public opinion because he’s “not running for office,” but by the end, Ye thanks Kimmel for “the platform”…and he definitely uses the network TV couch-time to rail against disrespectful paparazzi, and more importantly, doubting fashion and entertainment titans who aren’t willing to give Kanye the chance he needs to create “awesomeness.” Kanye reiterates many of the same points he made during that incredible Zane Lowe BBC interview, but there are plenty new Kanye quotables to enjoy as well.

“And the way paparazzi talk to me and my family is disrespectful. We bring something of joy to the world. When people hear my music, they have a good time. And I should be respected as such when I walk down the street. Don’t try to antagonize me. Because you know what, it’s not safe for you in this zoo. Never think that I’m not from Chicago for one second.”

I nerded out and transcribed the full interview…because sleep is for suckers.

(TDE at the 2013 BET Hip-Hop Awards: ScHoolboy Q, Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock & SZA)The 2013 BET Hip-Hop Awards were recently taped in Atlanta last weekend, and will air on the network in two weeks. One of the most talked about moments during the annual show came from the always entertaining cyphers. TDE shook things up with a lineup of Jay Rock, ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, newest signee Isaiah Rashad, and Kendrick Lamar.

With his “Control” verse still a hot topic months later, Kendrick used his camera time to cleverly send a jab at Drake. In recent interviews with Angie Martinez and Big Boy’s Neighborhood, Drake expressed disappointment and questioned the Compton MC and his motives when recording the verse on Big Sean’s record. Over Mobb Deep’s “Shook Ones Part. II,” Kendrick raps from a spectators angle using Drizzy’s Nothing Was the Same album title as a base for his verbal attack.

“Yeah…and nothing’s been the same since they dropped “Control”/ And tucked a sensitive rapper back in his Pajama Clothes/ Ha-ha jokes on you, high-five…..I’m bulletproof/ Your sh*ts a never penetrate, pin the tail on the donkey boy you been a fake….”

Catch the full cypher during the 2013 BET Hip-Hop Awards when it airs on Tuesday, October 15 at 8 p.m. EST.

Check out a snipper of Kendrick’s jab below….

Just hours after Kanye West went on a Twitter rant aimed at him, Jimmy Kimmel took to his late-night show to react. The comedian and talk show host revealed moments prior to Mr. West’s response to his viral spoof, Kanye called him to express his not-so-pleasant thoughts. Along with reading some of Yeezy’s tweets on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night, Kimmel noted Kanye compared himself to Tupac saying “I am the most powerful voice in media, I am Pac.”

UPDATE: Some sites have noted that a commercial promoting Kanye’s upcoming “Yeezus” tour with Kendrick Lamar aired after Kimmel’s breakdown of ‘Ye’s tirade last night.

Yesterday’s drawn out catfight between Teyana Taylor and Rihanna played itself out across instagram videos, tweets, photoshop, net-worth websites, and more…entertaining folks in their office cubicles, and even fellow rappers like Meek Mill.
This morning, Teyana called up the Hot97 Morning Show and said she wasn’t going to be another victim of Rihanna’s cyber-bullying.

But a few topics left undiscussed during the call…What really motivated this whole episode? Certainly not a silly IG video. Does Teyana think that this unprovoked attack has anything to do with her longstanding friendship with Chris Brown? And what sort of insight was Teyana alluding to with that “YOU & I know each other VERY well” tweet?

Listen to Teyana Taylor chatting with Ebro and Rosenberg…

When Rihanna and her hair stylist Yusef posted this video late last night, it may have just seemed like hotel room karaoke to the casual onlooker….
But Teyana Taylor and her fans instantly caught a shade alert…

Today, Teyana Taylor fired back at Rihanna on twitter…

Don’t play wit me @rihanna fuck all this industry shit, YOU & I know each other VERY well. Throwing subs 4 wat? u got my #, don’t show off.

— TEYANA M.J. TAYLOR (@TEYANATAYLOR) September 24, 2013

Since then, sparks have been flying between Teyana (and minions), Rihanna (and her “navy”) and Rihanna-bestie Melissa Forde. (as of 3:15pm, it’s still going…)

UPDATE: as of 4:15…Beef still on the barbee.
Both girls have even adjusted their twitter backgrounds to diss each other, lol. See new tweets after the jump…

Even Meek Mill is watching from the skybox with a tray of nachos:

Teyana vs rihanna…. Nothing was the same! lol

— Meek Mill (@MeekMill) September 24, 2013

Now would also be a convenient time to remember that Teyana allegedly snuffed a girl at an LA studio because she dissed her boy Chris Brown? And then there was the time, Teyana allegedly beat up celebrity stripper “Scrawberry” at Club Liv in Miami (“She left the club leakign and wearing her dress as a belt.”) So…we already know TT is ready to rumble.

Check out all the verbal kitty-boxing, and the original Teyana post that sparked the exchange…

The back-and-forth between Meek Mill and Kendrick Lamar continues. After Meek Mill released his “Ooh Kill ‘Em” response, Lamar took matters into his own hands during a show at Brooklyn’s Williamsburg Park on Tuesday night. During his set, Kendrick took a break to call out MMG’s Philly representer. “I been doing this s**t for years…I mastered this s**t. I have no time for irrelevant n***as [or] new n***as,” stated Lamar.

At one point, Kendrick cleverly referred to Meek’s current single “Levels.” “There’s one n***a in particular that needs to realize that there’s ‘levels’ to this s**t. I’m MOTHER F**KIN’ KING KENDRICK.” Once news spread fast on Twitter, Meek, whose also currently in New York City, hit his account to tweet out some responses.

Currently, there’s no video of Kendrick’s moment on stage. Until then, check out some fan footage from the show plus Meek Mill’s responses below….

Back with Round 2. After Meek Mill’s vicious attack towards him on “Kendrick You Next,” Cassidy returns quickly with his response to MMG’s own in “Catch a Body.” In true rap battle fashion, Cassidy grabs a hold of Canibus’ lyrical gift to LL Cool J in “2nd Round K.O.” for his song of choice in this back-and-forth between Philly’s two rap stars.

No brotherly love as Cassidy goes in for almost 8-minutes on his second diss record aimed at Meek this year.

“Look……f**k Meek Mills, Dreamchasers, MMG, and whoever else affiliated with that bi**h a** ni**a.”

Listen to “Catch a Body,” and watch as Cass gives his response to Meek’s “Kendrick You Next” below….

Although Miley Cyrus’ performance and outfit at last weekend’s MTV VMA’s has caused its own little media storm, Lady Gaga’s mermaid costume has left one artist in particular with hurt feelings. Serial beefer Azealia Banks took to Twitter earlier this week to launch a few darts at the Fame Monster, accusing her of stealing her aquatic look. It didn’t take long for Gaga to fire back with a few subtweets of her own, though. Not only did she tweet out a .gif of teary-eyed Ariel from The Little Mermaid, Gaga also shared a link to an image of a mermaid painting by Sandro Botticelli with the hashtag “#SomeOfUsJustLikeToRead.” Me-ow.

Miley Cyrus will likely be fielding questions about her awful VMAs performance until Thanksgiving. Like how do you put together a set where every aspect of your performance is terrible. From the stage setup, backup dancers, and outfit, it was all wrong. But don’t take my word for it. The rest of America definitely has some beef with Ms. Cyrus. I just wish Pharrell or someone could have approved her set before she hit the stage.

“I think that was really, really disturbing. That young lady, who is 20, is obviously deeply troubled, deeply disturbed, clearly has confidence issues, probably eating disorder and I don’t think anybody should have put her on stage. That was disgusting and embarrassing … That was not attractive. That was not fun. That was not funny. That was really, really bad for anybody who’s younger and impressionable and she’s really messed up … The whole thing was cringe worthy but I feel bad for her. She is a mess. Someone needs to take care of her. Someone needs not to put her on stage and make a complete fool of herself.”
