Back in September we reported that Drake challenged Murder Mook to a battle, according to Mook.
"He pulled me like, ‘Yo, if I battled a n*gga, I’d probably have one of the best battles.’ I’m like, ‘Word?’ I tried to laugh it off and sh*t. He kept insisting he would do that, Mook told "No Edits" "Then he said he wanted to battle another rapper dude, because he didn’t like him — I’m not gonna say his name. Then he was like, ‘I didn’t really want to give a n*gga that look. But you, I f*ck with you.’”
Drake has never acknowledged the challenge publicly, but Mook says they have to battle because it was issued. He and Dame Dash are trying to make it impossible for the Toronto rapper to turn it down by getting Floyd Mayweather Jr. to sponsor a $15 million winner-take-all match.
"I'm talking $10 million... $15 million dollars. We could make a lot of money off that," Mook told AllHipHop in a new interview. "That's what the money should be. Let's holla at Floyd [Mayweather Jr.] Floyd loves this type of shit."
"Floyd knows the pay-per-view game. And he knows all the outlets to do it," Dame chimed in. "He could get involved in some way and we can do this thing together. Floyd, help us. Don't let nobody else rob us. We wanna go through another black man and figure out how to do this, You wanna be a fight promoter. So, let's fight promote.... let's do battle rap. And the first one is for $15 million. [Mook] vs. Drake. Winner takes $15 million."
The battle would definitely generate a lot of interest and Floyd has the money, but $15 million is steep. You have to find big name sponsors. I'm talking brands like Pepsi and Budweiser. Then there would be the cost of the pay-per-view. Hip Hop fans are not boxing fans. Most won't shell out $50 no matter who is battling. The event would have to be reasonably priced and held in a big enough venue to generate enough money at the gate.
Also the undercard would have to be the best ever in the history of battle rap.
What's your take on all of this? How much would you be willing to pay to see Drake go against Murder Mook?

What would a new Eminem album be without some controversial lyrics? Past lyrical punching bags include Nick Cannon, Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, his we-wife Kim Mathers, his mother, Benzino, Ja Rule, Everlast and Insane Clown Posse to name a few.
The rap superstar already has some critics up in arms over a song that appears on his forthcoming album, SHADYXV. The track is entitled "Vegas." On it he threatens to sexually assault Iggy Azalea.
“So swallow my pride you’re lucky just to follow my ride/ If I let you run alongside the Humvee/ Unless you’re Nicki, grab you by the wrist, let’s ski/ So what’s it gon’ be? Put that shit away Iggy/ You don’t wanna blow that rape whistle on me. Scream! I love it. ‘Fore I get lost with the gettin’ off," Slim spits.
We may now live in a time when everyone is walking on egg shells trying to make sure they don't say anything to offend, but Eminem has proven time and again he could care less what people think. This is the same guy who kills his ex-wife on wax.
"Here I'll scream with you, ah, somebody help!/ Don't you get it bitch, no one can hear you/ Now shut the fuck up and get what's coming to you/ You were supposed to love me/ Now bleed bitch, bleed!! Bleed bitch, bleed!! Bleed," he raps on the 2000 song "Kim."
So, before everyone gets their panties in a bunch over "Vegas" remember the past history of the person who wrote it. If you're foolish enough to believe Eminem condones rape, I suggest you never listen to any of his music because he's sure to offend you again in the future.
SHADYXV arrives in stores on November 24.
**UPDATE** November 21
Iggy Azalea took to her Twitter account to respond to the controversy. Read what she had to say below.

Bill Cosby is in the middle of a firestorm with women from his past coming out of the woodwork to accuse him of drugging the raping them. The accusations are serious. This could also lead to fabricated stories from opportunists seeking their 15 minutes of fame
One of the women making accusations against Cosby is Linda Joy Traitz. She claimed in a Facebook that the actor and comedian came on to her and "wouldn't take no for an answer" when she was a 19-year old waitress at a restaurant he co-owned, Café Figaro.
“He used to come in from time to time and one day he offered me a ride home … I accepted,” Traitz wrote of the alleged encounter from more than 40 years ago. "[He] drove out to the beach and opened a briefcase filled with assorted drugs and kept offering me pills ‘to relax,’ which I declined,”
Traitz says Cosby became "sexually aggressive" which caused her to "freak out" and "demand to be taken home."
Traiz doesn't outright say she was raped, but instead wanted to come forward in light of other allegations against Cosby.
Here's is the full text from her Facebook post:
I promise you, the stories are true. I can’t believe I’m doing this again as I just posted on another “Trove” site about the subject two days ago. Here goes (and I already know I’m opening myself up to public scorn).
When I was 19 years old I lived in Los Angeles and worked at a restaurant called Café Figaro, which was part owned by Bill Cosby. He used to come in from time to time and one day he offered me a ride home … I accepted.
Instead, he drove out to the beach and opened a briefcase filled with assorted drugs and kept offering me pills “to relax,” which I declined. He began to get sexually aggressive and wouldn’t take ‘No’ for an answer. I freaked out and demanded to be taken home. I never went after him for this and have no financial gain to put myself out there like this. I’m 63 years old now and felt compelled to speak out. To all of you refuse to believe that a beloved actor could do this, you are wrong. Human failings come in all shapes and sizes. Does him being a famous actor exonerate him from this?
Turns out Traitz has a checkered history littered with criminal activity that has kept her in and out of jail for years.
According to TMZ, she has been popped for theft, battery, ID fraud and various drug offenses.
In 2012 Traitz was released from prison after serving more than 3 years for trafficking Oxycodone, possession of a controlled substance and obtaining a controlled substance by fraud.
"[This is] the latest example of people coming out of the woodwork with unsubstantiated or fabricated stories about my client." Cosby's lawyer, Marty Singer, told TMZ. "There was no briefcase of drugs and the story is absurd."
While it wouldn't be prudent to totally dismiss Traitz's claims, it does appear they're looking very shaky at this point.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the best boxer in the world and a father who provides for his kids. He recently purchased a Bentley golf cart for his son, Koraun's, 15th birthday. Koraun appreciates the gifts, but his opinion of his father is a negative one.
"He is a coward," the teen tells USA Today.
Koraun's anger stem's from beatings he witnessed his mother, Josie Harris, receive at the hands of his father.
According to Harris, she was physically assaulted by Mayweather six times. The worst attack happened on September 9, 2010, when Floyd found out Harris was dating NBA player C.J. Watson.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Josie Harris
Although they were separated at the time, Floyd flew into a rage and attacked the mother of his three children.
"I was sleeping on the couch and was awoken by him grabbing my hair," Harris recalls. "He had my phone is his hand. I have no idea how long he had my phone and was scrolling through my text messages. And the text message he saw from the gentleman I was dealing with at the time, it set him off."
Witness statements from Kouran and his brother detailed the beating.
Mayweather punched Harris in the back of the head, kicked her and stomped on her shoulder.
Kouran, who was 10 at the time, disobeyed his father by going to get help.
"(My dad) said to lock my door and stay in my room," Koraun said. "I sat there and thought about what I was going to do next. Just for like a minute."
The 10-year old initially told a woman who was staying in the guest house. She didn't believe him, so he then tried to run for help but was stopped by one of Floyd's friends.
"Then I went back into my room and locked the door and then ran back out my bathroom and then hopped over the gate and went to the main entrance gate. I just told (the guard) that my mom was getting hurt and to call the ambulance and the police."
Floyd was arrested for the assault. He accepted a plea deal and later pleaded guilty to a reduced battery domestic violence charge and no contest to two harassment charges. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail.
Harris believes her son saved her from an an even more severe attack.
"I just thanked him because I didn't know how long it was going to continue to go on," she said. "And I just feel like if he wouldn't have gone to get the help that I may not even be able to be sitting here. I was a battered woman, I felt embarrassed about saying I was a battered woman. I felt shame. I felt like it was my fault. What did I do? I didn't understand what a battered woman was at that time. Now I know I was in a very dysfunctional, hostile relationship and a victim of domestic violence."
Floyd has been cited or arrested for seven attacks on five different women over the last ten years
