Rihanna was allegedly seen bussing slob with Kanye:

They’ve often been snapped snuggling, but Rihanna and Chris Brown claim that they’re just close friends. Well, there may be a reason for that! The Barbadian beauty was spotted cuddling Kanye West backstage at a T.I. concert at the Key Club in Hollywood on Oct. 3. “Rihanna and Kanye hung out together after they performed their songs,” says an insider. “Rihanna was sitting on Kanye’s lap, singing along to the music. Before long, the two were full-on kissing each other.” Adds the source, “People were shocked. After a while, Rihanna must have realized people were watching, because she had her security escort her back to the dressing room.”

Now, that’s how you get a rumor started… and mono. This does not sound like RiRi’s or Yeezy’s steez at all. Unless they were both on lean, it seems unlikely that this happened in full view of the hawks. You need more people.

Kanye’s “808s & Heartbreak” listening party went down Tuesday night in L.A. and Bossip was in the building to witness first-hand the musical mystery that is Mr. West. The album is almost ENTIRELY singing. No cameras were allowed and to make sure some buff jughead fools were roughing up people who did snap shots. During the listening were 40 booty-hole NAKED, bad females just posted up and posing and ish. Jay-Z, Will.i.am, and Officer Ross were in attendance.

Here’s Yeezy’s thank you speech where he talks about his

undying love for autotune, and the color pink.

Although the jugheads were in full effect, we still copped an exclusive pic, take a gander below.

Here’s Yeezy’s video for his new single, “Love Lock Down.” Enough with the vocorder crap already people. It’s played. The video itself is unique, however. Hopefully it’ll encourage other artists to start thinking outside of the box.

T.I. is definitely trying to live it up before he does his bid. Here he is showing his @ss at his Myspace album release party at the Key Club in Hollyweird. He gave the audience two special little treats: a carebear looking Kanyeezy performing “Swagger Like Us,” “Love Lockdown,” and “Heartless” and a hood @ss Rihanna ‘singing’ “Live Your life.”

Jim Jones responds to being left off T.I.’s “Swagger Like Us” track ft. Weezy, Jay-Z, and Kanye:

I think it was deliberate. I really do think it was deliberate; maybe in my sick twisted mind I’m a little crazy. People know who set the precedent as far as fashion in this industry and people know who damn near changed the world as far as fashion. You look at people, they went from the urban world of clothing, back when Rocawear and Sean John was cool. And then in the past 5 years I stepped in and gave them a taste of what rock and roll looks like from my side. I guess people would say from an urban side, and it seemed to catch on like wildfire, to the point that people was going to stores and asking for that Jim Jones look. Me and Juelz had Chink do our own beat, I have Weezy’s verse in my inbox right now and we kept the hook of that song because it was a sample. So we’re going to put that as a bonus track on the album, and put it to the streets. “No one on the corner got swag like you we don’t Rocawear that’s for fags like you.”

We think it is safe to say Jim Jones is acting a little broadish right now. Maybe T.I. just forgot about you, Jim, or couldn’t find you at the hair salon getting fresh cornrows. Don’t worry, we promise not to like the song (fingers crossed).

Record sales are in the gutter according to a report by Livesteez:

Record labels are approaching another financially weak year, as a minimum of 200 million albums in the last quarter is now required in order to break even with last year’s low total. According to Variety, the music industry officially closed out with a total of 297.9 million albums sold for the third quarter making it already 12 percent less than the previous year. 2007 saw a total of 500.5 million in sales with over 30 percent of the records purchased stemming from the fourth quarter. However, this year the industry would have to up that amount to over 40 percent. With a strong line-up of upcoming albums believed to drop before 2009 including releases from Kanye West, 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Ludacris, Busta Rhymes and possible albums from Dr. Dre, Eminem and Andre 3000, the goal may still be attainable.

Record sales are lower than ever, but boy those 100 pack of blank discs from Best Buy are selling like hot cakes. Help should be on its way with Kanye and Luda looking to drop albums this year. We would love to buy those albums, but times are so tough we might have to use one of our blank discs and go without the pretty pictures and credits on the “real album.” Sad face.

It appears as though Kanye won’t be doing hard time:

Los Angeles County prosecutors have decided not to file felony charges against Kanye West and his manager in regard to a recent arrest at LAX in which a paparazzo’s camera was broken. According to the Associated Press, prosecutors have yet to decide whether or not they will charge West with a misdemeanor. West was arrested on September 11, click here if you haven’t read about it, after he and his manager became involved in an altercation with a paparazzo, resulting in the rapper struggling with the photog before smashing the flash to his camera on the floor.

This should be a notice to all paparazzi, paparazzo, and whatever else they call those stalkers. Sometimes, you just gotta get the f*ck out of the way and let a brother be. If you don’t, you are at risk for getting your ass whooped, and having the judge say, “you deserved it!” Don’t stop there, Yeezy, push the limits of the law even further…

Rappers are getting rid of the trunk jewels. The recession is real…

How much would you pay for Lil Jon’s 12-pound “Crunk Ain’t Dead” pendant, which holds the Guinness Book of World Records mark as the largest diamond pendant ever? You can get your shot at the signature piece during the Hip-Hop’s Crown Jewels auction from the contemporary art auction house Phillips de Pury & Company, which will take place March 5 in New York.

Yeezy is plotting on some new ‘ish:

Comedy Central has teamed with Kanye West and Rhymefest to develop a project they’ve described as “hip-hop meets ‘The Muppets,’” reports the HollywoodReporter.com. So far, a half-hour pilot has been shot for the project, tentatively titled “Alligator Boots,” via Jackhole Prods., a production company founded by Jimmy Kimmel, Daniel Kellison and Adam Carolla who also was produced Comedy Central’s puppet-centric “Crank Yankers.”

Luckily for Comedy Central, the success over the years has turned his ass into so much of a f*cking character, they won’t even need to develop one for the show. He can just be himself with his ensemble of shoes, clothing, and glasses. We aren’t hating…just merely making a simple observation.

Just when you thought that fake beef between Kanye West and 50 Cent was over:

just woke up from a quick studio nap… I’ve been workin’ on 808s and Heartbreak about 16 hrs a day and Superman passed out for a little bit… I’m in hawaii but I’m still on NY time so I wake up mad early, do some business, blog, jog for an hour, play ball, eat and then hit the stu by noon. While approving the final cut for the Love Lockdown vid, I marvel at the fact that it was written less than 3 weeks ago. I’m very excited about the everything… I guarantee this will be 50′s favorite album of mine. This will be gangster’s album of the year.

Gangster and Kanye in the same sentence?? It doesn’t seem quite right, but you know this comment is going to spark a little fire from Bugsy and his trouble-making ass.

Is it possible that Kanye just finished doing 2 snaps AND a circle? Please tell us you agree with us when we say that Yeezy’s posture automatically makes him a number 1 suspect??? We know it’s just a picture, but he does it with such ease…just saying…

Curtis took time out to comment on “Yay’s” legal problems…

“I hope he’s all right… He’s gonna pay for that. I hope everything works out for him because, away from you having to pay your bail money and then you have to go through your legal fees and you have to go through the civil trial.”

Really 50? Cause just over the weekend you made fun of ole boy at your concert. If anyone knows how much the legal system cost it is Curtis…especially since he is going through all that nonsense with his baby moms.

Here are some pics of Kanye West and Lil Bow Wow/Jamie Foxx’s ex-jumpoff Dollicia Bryan on the set of his new video “Love Lockdown.” Judging by these Coming to America/Tribal style costumes, this looks like another one of Yeezy’s ‘creative’ videos.

Shout out to Redz

Kanye West was arrested by one-time today at LAX:

Kanye West has just been arrested at LAX for felony vandalism. A still photographer was trying to take pics of Kanye at the American Airlines terminal. According to our guy on the scene, Kanye allegedly confronted the photog and smashed his camera to the ground.

Our photog then began videotaping the scene when Kanye’s assistant grabbed our camera — a struggle ensued and the assistant threw the video camera to the ground, breaking it. When Kanye realized our camera guy had videotaped the incident, he rushed our guy and yelled, “Gimme that f**king tape!”

Both Kanye and his assistant have been arrested and will be booked.

It comes a time when the papps need to fall back. One-time is always waiting in the cut to lock a rich Black dude up. Can’t give these fools an opening by doing stupid sh*t.
