Hot or Not?
DJ Khalil is one of the hottest names in the game right now. The beat maker has produced hits recently for Eminem, Slaughterhouse, Drake, as well as Dr. Dre's "Kush."
Born Khalil Abdul-Rahman, the Los Angeles based producer has been banging out heaters for over a decade now, as 1/2 of the group Self Scientific, with mc Chace Infinite, and as part of Dr Dre's production team. So his success is no accident.
A good portion of the last six years has seen him working tirelessly to help Dr. Dre put the finishing touches on 'Detox.' While its taking longer than fans had hoped. Khalil assures them the long awaited album is near completion.
"Dre's album is definitely the most important thing right now, because he is definitely in the final stretch," he told Billboard. "He has the record going, but I'm sure he thinks there are pieces missing still. Until he finds those pieces, maybe he's not comfortable putting it out yet."
Khalil also wants to make sure he gets a shot at recording with Drake on his sophomore album after producing "Fear" for the Young Money rapper's 'So Far Gone' EP.
"I talked to him and just told him I'm working on stuff for him," he says. "I'm sure they are more than halfway done. I'm pretty sure he's getting close and I definitely want to be a part of it."

A 17-year old Chinese boy identified as Xiao Zheng, wanted an iPad 2 so badly he was willing give up a kidney for it.
"I wanted to buy an iPad 2, but I didn't have the money," the boy said according to Daily Mail, "When I surfed the internet I found an advert posted online by agent saying they were able to pay RMB20,000 [$3,085] to buy a kidney."
After negotiating the deal, the boy traveled to the city of Chenzhou in the Hunan Province, where his kidney was removed at a local hospital. After three days he was released and paid $3,400.
Xiao Zheng
His devastated mother found out about what happened when Xiao returned home with the iPad and a new computer.
"When my son came home he had a laptop computer and an Apple phone. Where did all that money come from?" she said. "Only when he could bare it no longer did he tell us. He said 'mom I sold my kidney. When I heard it, it was like the sky was crashing down on our family."
To make matters worse, Xiao has developed health problems as a result of the surgery. He and his mother went to police with the story, but the men he made the deal with cannot be found. And the hospital, which admitted contracting out its urology department to a private businessman, denied knowing anything about the surgery.

Music stars Rihanna and 50 Cent and "Gossip Girl" actress Leighton Meester have lent their mouths to a campaign to find a donor for an upper West Side infant in desperate need of a bone-marrow transplant.
The celebrity do-gooders recently had their cheeks swabbed to see if they're a match for 1-year-old Ayelet Galena, who suffers from dyskeratosis congenita, a rare life-threatening disease.
The hope is that their fans will follow suit and get tested.
"It started out with Rihanna tweeting, and then I asked 50 Cent, he has helped us before," said Katharina Harf, the COO of DKMS, a German bone-marrow donor center.
"And then [Ayelet's] dad got all these other artists and bands aboard."
The infant's father, Seth Galena, an account supervisor at VLM Advertising, got rapper Pharrell and rock band Linkin Park involved in mid-May.
But without a bone-marrow donor, Ayelet won't survive.
Ayelet Galena suffers from dyskeratosis congenita, a rare life-threatening disease.
"We went into action once we got the diagnosis because we knew she'd need the transplant," said Ayelet's mother, Hindy Poupko.
Now Ayelet's family is anxiously awaiting a match. Four out of 10 people rely on donors who are strangers, since relatives are rarely a match for bone marrow, according to DKMS.
Siblings are the best possibility, with a 25% matching rate, but Ayelet is an only child.
If Ayelet receives a transplant, she has a 60% chance of surviving.
Other than an IV she needs for nutrition, Ayelet is like most kids her age.
"Despite all of this, she is a very happy and playful child," said Poupko. "She is like every other child, just tinier."
The family and DKMS have organized a donor-registration drive for Sunday. It will take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., at the Jewish Community Center at 334 Amsterdam Ave.
What's a day on twitter without some sort of beef popping off?
The latest two to square off on the social networking site are singer Chris Brown and rapper Tyler The Creator of the L.A. based rap collective Odd Future.
Brown started off tweeting to his followers about the negativity in some artists music.
"I never claim to be no saint but by no means am I trying to promote death, violence,and destruction with my music! #f*ckouttahere," he wrote before adding. "And for all the idiots in the audience this convo wasn't for @rihanna."
It wasn't long before Tyler, either thinking Brown was referring to Odd Future, or just looking for attention, replied to Breezy.
"Why Is Chris Brown Talking So Much Sh*t About Metallica? Weird," Tyler wrote, igniting a brief war of words that featured lots of jokes about Brown's blonde hair color.
"Nigga Look Like A Box Of Pops," Tyler began. "He Thinks Hes A Sun Flower. Hey Guys, It Me, Chris, i Think Im A Light Bulb Okay Bye. N*gga is A Stunt Double For A Highlighter. This N*gga Went To His Barber Like 'Can I Get A F*cked Up With A Taper?' @chrisbrown Do You Like Soup? Cause You're Acting Like It."
Brown fired off one more shot before bouncing to watch the Miami Heat vs Dallas Mavericks game.
"Please go follow @KILLHodgy! It's pathetic what he'll do for a follow!"
Brown probably wasn't in the best mood after the Heat blew a 15 point fourth quarter lead before losing to the Mavs, but that's another story altogether.
Rihanna's new music video for "Man Down" is getting criticized heavily for a scene that shows the singer shooting a man dead in cold blood.
In the video we see her pointing a pistol out of a window, before firing at a man walking in front of a large group of people. Killing him in retaliation for raping her.
"It's a 22, I call her Peggy Sue/ When she fits right down in my shoes/ What do you expect me to do/ If you're playing me for a fool/ I will lose my cool/ And reach for my fire arm/ I didn't mean to lay him down/ But it's too late to turn back now/ Don't know what I was thinking/ Now he's no longer living/ So I'm 'bout to leave town," she sings.
The video which premiered on BET on Tuesday has drawn the ire of several groups.
"If Chris Brown shot a woman in his new video and BET premiered it, the world would stop. Rihanna should not get a pass," said Paul Porter, co-founder of Industry Ears. He along with the Parents Television Council and the Enough is Enough campaign are calling on BET and its parent company Viacom to stop airing the video.
Melissa Henson of the Parents Television Council had this to say: "Instead of telling victims they should seek help, Rihanna released a music video that gives retaliation in the form of premeditated murder the imprimatur of acceptability."
Earlier today Rihanna, who was physically assaulted by then boyfriend Chris Brown two years, went on twitter to defend herself and the video.
"I'm a 23 year old rockstar with NO KIDS! What's up with everybody wantin me to be a parent? I'm just a girl, I can only be your/our voice!" she wrote. "Cuz we all know how difficult/embarrassing it is to communicate touchy subject matters to anyone especially our parents! And this is why! Cuz we turn the other cheek! U can't hide your kids from society,or they'll never learn how to adapt! This is the REAL WORLD!"
It's going to take a lot more than words on twitter to stop critics of the video like Porter, who said that in 30 years he's never seen "such a cold, calculated execution of murder in prime time."

Infamous Mobb Deep's Prodigy just finished a three year prison sentence on gun charges. In the months leading up to his conviction, and during his trial P learned a lot about the Hip Hop Task Force and how they operate. In this interview with VladTV, P breaks it all down.
"There's a task force that works alongside the gun squad. It's a gun squad in the NYPD. The gun squad usually rides around in yellow cabs in Manhattan and Queens," P said. "Their jurisdiction goes through all the boroughs. They can arrest you in any borough. They can follow you from Manhattan, to Bronx, to Brooklyn or wherever. They're allowed to do that."
"There's a task force that works alongside of them. The Hip Hop Task Force. A lot of people thought it was a myth at first. They [police] tried to deny it, but I actually met with the guy that started the task force during my trial," Prodigy continued. "He actually helped me out during my trial. His name is Derrick Parker. He put a book out called the 'Hip Hop Cop.' Basically he describes how he started the task force. They funded him... I guess the budget comes from the state or government or whatever. So the task force really exists."
One might think Prodigy would lash out at the police for being racist for targeting mostly blacks and hispanics, but P sees it differently.
"A lot of it we bring it upon ourselves because we're an easy target. Like if they see a car that looks like a rapper's car, with some black folks or puerto rican folks driving it. They're like 'yeah I'mma pull this car over because most likely there's a gun, or some weed, or something in that car right there.' You know, we have that stigma put upon us. That's not to say it's wrong or it's right, but a lot of it we bring upon ourselves," P said looking directly into the camera. "Because of how we talk in our songs. Because of how we carry ourselves, we bring that negative attention to us. So you really can't be mad at these dudes [police] for doing that."
Pretty interesting way to look at it, but is Prodigy right? Are rappers their own worst enemy when it comes to dealing with the law?
Fans wanting to cop Lil Wayne's new album 'Tha Carter IV' will have to wait a little bit longer.
Universal Motown has confirmed the album release date has been moved from June 21 to August 29. This is the second time the album has been pushed back. It was originally due out on May 16.
Wayne's latest single "How To Love" has just hit the airwaves, following the previously released "6'7" and "John." And XXL is reporting there will be another single released on July 4.
Is the buzz still strong for this album?
Jay-Z told the world auto-tune was dead in 2009 and today T-Pain finally agreed with him.
The singer told Allhiphop he has found something even better to enhance his vocals.
"I vow right here, right now, to never use Auto-Tune again," he said.. "I'm onto something that I think is bigger and better called 'The T-Pain Effect.'"
The two time Grammy Award winner had quite a successful run using auto tune. He's been featured on a number of hits by other artists, as well as dropping three solo albums of his own.
His latest album 'RevolveR' is due out later this year.
How will not using auto-tune affect T-Pain's career in your opinion?

Birdman is looking to add another expensive car to his collection and more money to his bank account. He just revealed via twitter that he has put down a $2 million dollar wager on the Miami Heat to win the NBA Championship.
The Heat, led by superstars Dwayne Wade, Lebron James and Chris Bosh are already up 1-0 in the best of seven series against the Dallas Mavericks.
Birdman is quite comfortable placing big bets on sports events and seems to be on a nice winning streak.
In May of last year he put $4 million on Floyd Mayweather Jr. in his fight against Sugar Shane Mosley. Then, this past February he placed a $1 million dollar bet on the Green Bay Packers when they played the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV . Both times he won.
If he wins this latest bet, he said he'll be buying a new car to go along with his recently purchased $8.7 million dollar Maybach and $2.5 million dollar Bugatti Veyron.
