While most members of the Mixtape Daily family are big fans of the Dallas Cowboys' rivals (Shaheem rolls with the G-Men for life, J-Rod loves the Eagles, and Rahman bleeds Jets green), we have to give it up to owner Jerry Jones and the Cowboys Stadium. The massive, breathtaking, suspended hi-def screen alone sets it apart from the pack.

We won't get too sentimental about spending NBA All-Star Weekend there, but we did get a chance to catch up with Jerry at Jay-Z and LeBron James' "Two Kings Dinner & Afterparty." The owner of America's Team recalled giving Eminem a tour of the palatial venue when Mr. Mathers attended the Cowboys vs. Chargers game in December.


"We, of course, are great fans and were tickled to death to have that kind of interest," Jones said of Em coming to the stadium.

Jones said we might eventually see a huge rap show at the stadium, which could hold well over 100,000 fans for a concert, and he thinks Em or Jay-Z would be perfect to pack the venue. "Those are the kinds of stars or the kinds of individuals that people are so interested in seeing," he said. "We've got a venue there that can show them and their skills and talent. We could put a crowd in there to watch them."

"I'm here [playing Dallas] in a couple of weeks, actually," Jay-Z said when asked about Jones' comments. "I'm not playing the big stadium, but one day."

Meanwhile, Jones said he got the feeling Em was interested in rocking Cowboys Stadium. "I believe he was thinking of how it would sound in there for him to be involved [for a concert]," Jones said of Eminem's tour of the venue.

Cowboys Stadium hosted the 2010 NBA All-Star game this past Sunday, which broke the record for attendance with more than 108,000 fans.

"[Dallas Mavericks owner] Mark Cuban initiated the idea as we were building the stadium," Jones said about how the All-Star game ended up in Dallas. "I dreamed of having a basketball game in there — basketball or soccer. A chance to do the All-Star game was a dream come true. It's been great working with [NBA commissioner] David Stern. It's been great working with Mark with what we're doing. ... I've been out there spending most of my time watching them construct the setting for the game. The NBA hasn't spared anything making it special for the fans."

Shyne Po Signs Seven Figure Deal With Def Jam


Miss Info Reports

Multiple sources have confirmed to me that Shyne Po has signed a 7-figure deal with Def Jam.*

This ends a bidding war that had industry bigwigs vying for Shyne’s attention, flying to Belize, calling and courting, ever since the Brooklyn emcee was released from prison and deported to Belize back in October.

For Shyne to turn down hard-court pressure from Jimmy Iovine/Dr.Dre and others and instead join LA Reid back at his last known recording-residence actually seems like an inevitable move….because I’ve been hearing that Shyne has been pow-wowing with veteran manager Kyambo “HipHop” Joshua for a while now. Joshua and his HipHopSince1978 partners, Gee Roberson, also manage Lil Wayne, Drake, Young Jeezy and more. Meanwhile, my old friend Al Branch is both a partner in HipHopSince1978 and a high-level exec at Def Jam…see how that works? Synergy! Now there have been recent reports of new label-wide pressures, but with this team in place, Shyne is in good hands.

As for the logistics, the plan is for Shyne to work out of London, it’s a buzzing hip hop hub with all the necessary facilities. Oh, and about that first verse which appeared on an early DJ Khaled album leak (and is allegedly scratched from the final tracklisting)…I’m hearing that Shyne didn’t intend that verse to be his first look. After nearly a decade inside, he’s allowed a little time to figure out what direction he’ll take.

*(obviously in this climate, these kinds of numbers are few and far between, so this certainly signals that labels see value in legacy or storyline. Drake got a reported 2 million last year. And of course, this is Shyne’s second time around in a bidding war.)

Beyonce's Dad Ordered to Pay Child Support



Beyonce's father, Mathew Knowles, has just been ordered to support baby Nixon, at least temporarily ...

An L.A. judge just ordered Knowles to pay $8,200 a month in child support, retroactive to February 1. Knowles must also pay 100% of uninsured medical costs.

Alexsandra Wright claims she had an 18-month relationship with Knowles and he's the baby daddy of Nixon -- born February 4.

Wright's lawyer, Neal Hersh, went to court today asking for support and the judge granted it.

But Knowles will take a DNA test March 1 ... and the long-term support issues hinge on the outcome.

It's interesting -- Knowles has not flat out denied he's the daddy. And in fact, he gave Alexsandra $10,000 in January to cover uninsured medical costs and baby stuff.

UPDATE: The Judge ordered Knowles to pay Wright $20,750 for the month of January.

Lloyd Banks Reveals Surprise Collabo





G-Unit rapper Lloyd Banks recently talked about his upcoming third solo album, promising that he will be doing collaborations with unusual artists very soon. Besides talking about the surprise collaborations, Lloyd Banks said he has not yet figured out a title for his new album which will be the follow-up to his 2006 "Rotten Apple" album.

"Another record is on the way, man," Banks said in an interview referring to a "Beamers" follow-up. "I can't tell you who it's with yet, but it's one of the last n*ggas you would think I'd do a record with. It's retarded. I got a few things in store but I don't want to get to the names yet, probably when I get back in April, I'll give it a title."

Beyonce's Dad -- This Might Be Your Baby Boy




TMZ has obtained a photo of the alleged love child of Mathew Knowles -- aka Beyonce's dad -- and while Knowles has yet to take a DNA test ... we kinda see a resemblance.
Alexsandra Wright -- who claims she had an 18 month affair with Knowles -- filed a paternity suit against him back in October and gave birth on February 4. Wright's lawyers are in court today, trying to get Knowles to pony up child support -- so far, sources say, he hasn't paid a cent.

For his part, Mathew has skirted the issue, telling TMZ, "We are not aware of the birth of a child. Mr. Knowles has never had a DNA test. These rumors are untrue."

Oprah Winfrey Says No Way To John Mayer


The Oprah Winfrey Show is usually one of the first places an entertainer looks to when trying to restore a tarnished image. But in the case of disgraced singer John Mayer the talk show host is putting up a stop sign.

According to a report on Popeater.com you won't be seeing John apologize for his use of the N-word in a recent Playboy interview on Oprah's couch.

Oprah is very good friends with Jennifer Aniston, who was also on the receiving end of harsh remarks by Mr Mayer.

An industry insider says "Oprah is the smartest person on TV and will not let John use her or her show to ask for forgiveness,"

"If John really wants to apologize for his racist and sexist comments, he should find somewhere else. The only way Oprah, who is a dear friend of Jennifer Aniston, would ever book him is if John were interested in having a much deeper conversation about race, women and fame."



No matter how many times he apologizes it may never be enough though. For a lot of fans the damage he inflicted with his ignorance may be too much to ever overcome.

Rihanna could be on her way to the big screen if reports about a forthcoming remake of 'The Last Dragon' are true.

"She has landed an incredibly challenging role alongside Samuel L Jackson. But it's not a part for the faint-hearted," a source told British newspaper The Daily Mirror Monday. "She will play a super sexy, super kinky dominatrix in the martial arts flick."

Said to be co-produced by Rza of Wu-Tang Clan, 'The Last Dragon' remake follows rumors that Rihanna would star in a remake of the 1992 hit 'The Bodyguard' -- those claims were later shot down by management.

While Rihanna has not confirmed the role, the source says she will be asked to study hard.

"She has been told to look into the role - and this could well include a trip to an S&M dungeon."

In related news, Rihanna discussed an intense emotional connection to the album "Rated R" recently.

Telling The Daily Telegraph the album was a place where she could vent after the attack (Chris Brown), Rihanna went on to say "The vocal performances definitely were influenced by the emotion, the feeling. I wasn't just singing lines, I was singing every word and every word meant something because it was my story. It was a lot more personal, a lot more real...I was venting."
