You knew that Pac had more good material in the vault and people have been dying for years over the rights. New and unheard songs are emerging, like this one with Snoop Dogg called, “If There Is a Cure, I Don’t Want It.”

If you have not heard The Game’s latest quotes from yesterday, then go to Hip Hop Wired. (Or Click Here) Bossip was going to leave the beef alone today, but you Jay-Z fans are relentless and compiled a list that we just received. The Game might want to take a look at the list, because it consists of how many times The Game has said Jay’s name in a flow.

You won’t believe how long this run down is… Continue »

Everyone has their top 20 list of the best MC’s in the game but its always interesting to see who gets the number 1 spot.

Tatyana Ali is featured in the current issue of the “prestigious” King Magazine where she talks about being Black in Hollyweird and her new album:

What are your thoughts on black Hollywood?

It’s kind of like the Wild West out there, and not just for black Hollywood. In a traditional sense, things look bad—there are people out of work, shows aren’t going up and a lot of films aren’t being made, because of the fear of actors going on strike. But I think it’s a real fertile time to stake your claim. With things up in the air, it creates new space for people who are trying to break through, business-wise.

The same can be said about the music business, yet you’re still dropping a new album.

I found my voice with this album, The Light. I can never stop singing. Remember, I recorded my first album [1998’s Kiss the Sky, MJJ Music] when I was 16, and other people wrote most of the songs. I really wanted the next album that I did to express who I am. And the only way I can do that is to write it myself. So in that sense, I found my voice.

Did you also recruit a gaggle of producers like last time?

No, I finally paired up with a producer named Johnny J, who has sold 100 million albums worldwide and is responsible for a lot of 2Pac’s music.

You’re not going to start rocking bandannas and have THUG LIFE tatted on your body, are you?

Absolutely not, not that there’s anything wrong with that. It’s not my personal style. But I’m not gangster—no THUG LIFE tatted on my chest [laughs].

This is definitely some interesting morning swirl news. A new book “Madonna: Like an Icon” out today mentions that Madonna was dating Tupac:

Madonna, in her mid-30s, “desperately wanted children and had various relationships with unlikely men.” The singer’s friend Alison Clarkson recalls when she was briefly dating Tupac Shakur, one year before his death.

“She was going out with him … but homegirls were saying to him, ‘I can’t believe you’re going out with a white girl,’” – so she got dumped!

Madonna was trying to get knocked up by Pac. Interesting morning swirl news indeed. Might have to check that book out when it hits the library stands to get the full scoop.

Quincy Jones was spotted being very affectionate with his daughter Kidada (2Pac’s Ex, jewelry designer) at a party in Vegas last night. Quincy gets a pass, but we better not spot R. Kelly doing this with his daughter with a glass of alcohol in his hand.

Here are some pics from a story we exclusively broke last year of the old man dating a 19- year-old arab girl.
