Joe Camel recently told XXL he will never retire and Lil Wayne should never even be mentioned in the same sentence as him.

We think Jay-Z should fall back on the rap game and just leave the game as a legend. His last album was garbage, Lil Wayne got the old man beat right now, lyrically that is.

Joey Camel recently Spoke with Rolling Stone and discussed a few topics:

On Don Imus:

“Imus is a racist. He’s not a person that listens to rap or was influenced by rap, so the two things don’t have anything to do with each other, so f*ck him.”

On Kingdom Come:

“Maybe it was too sophisticated. Maybe I f*cked up.”

On retiring a bunch of times:

“I was watching Fade to Black on VH1, and I was cringing, because I kept saying, ‘It may be the last album’ — I’ve made two albums already! When I put The Black Album out, I said I wasn’t going to say that anymore. I just stopped talking. Nobody believes it. Not even you.”

On Yeezy’s “Big Brother” track:

“Not everything on the song was true, but it was true in his mind. He says ‘Carleen said I could buy two tickets.’ You would think he didn’t get any tickets. I gave him four, he wanted six. It was a charity event! And Coldplay — I introduced him to Coldplay, I gave him the number! But I thought it was a brilliant song. It brought us closer together.”

LL Cool J is still talking about his issues with Def Jam and discusses his new albun Exit 13, that has 50 Cent as the executive producer. No cents and Hova even have something to say. Via MTV:

“These guys fail to realize that when you talk about Def Jam, you’re talking about my legacy. Everything that ever happened at Def Jam is my legacy. Without me being a 16-year-old with my rhyme book, Def Jam [wouldn't] exist. Everything that’s ever been a success up there is a product of me, and I’ve given birth to it.” Continue »

We always have a little chuckle when looking at any celebrity doll, but whoever designed this Jay-Z Ken doll has to be blind as hell. Where are the camel-esque features? Big ass lips? The Jay-Z doll that came out last December is a little more accurate with the soup coolers. (See thumbnail pic)

Jay-Z recently discussed the condition of hip hop and where he plans to go with his album American Gangster:

“When a guy says – and this is definitely no disrespect, because everybody has their place – but when a guy says, ‘I can make a mil saying nothing on a track,’ you know you have reached a bad place. Not only did you think about it, you said it. So, [Hip-Hop] is way past salvaging. So, I’m just gonna do what I do. I’m just gonna go over ‘there’ – way over there. This is why this is what it is. I’m going so far over there.”

“What I really plan to do is shoot [American Gangster, the album] as a movie. Like a better ‘Streets is Watching’. Doing it like a musical. Real stories and get somebody in there that’s [going do to]…real writing. Someone to shoot it like ‘Godfather.’ I know that’s a little ungracious, but that’s how you gotta place it to get somewhere near.”

Meathead LL Cool J recently discussed how he plans to deal with his situation at Def Jam and beef with Jay-Z.

Via Illseed at AHH:

“We need to meet and figure it out. It’s tough. Let’s be real. You know, they have an artist (Jay-Z) running a label full of artists. Okay? That’s like Calvin Klein running a fashion label and Varvatos and everyone else is underneath him. What kind of sense does that make? This hierarchy? It doesn’t work for me. I’m going to approach [the situation / meeting] from a positive, optimistic viewpoint. Hopefully it will work.”

Good because two grown ass men pushing 40 (LL is 39 and Camel is 38) beefing is ri-goddamn-diculous. Grow the fu*k up!
