Not a big day for music videos today but we did have a lot of cool behind-the-scenes type clips for everyone. Starting off we have Three 6 Mafia as they shoot an episode of Numb3rs, the CBS hit TV show. 50 Cent and G-Unit take you behind the scenes of their tour to Africa and Damon Dash lets everyone know what he thinks of Dipset capo Jim Jones.
Todays audio was pretty diverse. Ludacris helped Pastor Troy on “You Don’t Wanna” while Lil Wayne and Baby jumped on a new Glasses Malone track. Young Buck let everyone know he is Out Here, and Soulja Boy helped Savage “Swing.” DJ Khaled got an all-star line up including Akon, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne and Plies for his new song “Out Here Grindin” and we even have a track from Lindsay Lohan.
Oscar winning group, Three 6 Mafia, is planning a trip overseas. DJ Paul and Juciy J are getting ready to go on their first trip across the world and they will be documenting it online, via XXL's website.
Recently we reported that Three 6 Mafia would be appearing on the CBS show Numb3rs. Paul and Juicy will play a rap group comprising of members Hunter and Roland. The group will perform their new single “Lolli Lolli (Pop That Body)” from their upcoming album, Last 2 Walk, due in stores June 24th.
“We’re onstage and a fight breaks out, I leave out the stage and I get shot,” Juicy J said. “Man, they just told me they want me to do it. You get shot. I was like, whatever.”
Dame Dash is backing Jim Jones fully. Damon thinks that Jones next solo album is going to be a huge hit. Jim Jones signed a lucrative deal with Columbia Records last year and ex Roc-A-Fella head honcho Damon Dash thinks the new album will be a "classic." Damon grew up with Jim Jones and said he's known the Dipset member since he was six years old, but he hasn't always been supportive of his career. "I told Jim not to rap because he's not a rapper," Dash admitted. "I
looked at him like a business man. But he has enough swagger and
personality to pull it off."
Jim Jones is currently working on the album Dash is talking about, which will be his follow up to 2006's Hustler's P.O.M.E (Product of My Environment) that was lead by the hit single "Ballin." Dame said "Through his practice and his relentless assault on making music, a
record every day, he actually got pretty good," Dame said. "So his new
album, I think he might have come up with a classic, and that's me
saying that." Dash also said that Jim has two movies in the works, a book and a Byrd
Gang album coming out in June.
Foxy Brown put in a plea deal today for her alleged Blackberry fight with another woman. Foxy plead guilty to one misdemeanor charge of menacing and the prosecution threw out the felony assault charge stemming from a 2007 incident in which Foxy allegedly smacked Arlene Raymond with her mobile device.
Foxy was sentenced to time served, and she submitted a letter of apology. Although there are rumors that someone attempted to serve Foxy with a lawsuit, her legal troubles and court dates seem to be coming to an end. Congrats Foxy!
