Fat Joe can celebrate, he finally made it into the top 10.
The Bronx behemoth's group, Terror Squad is number 2 on Billboards Top 10 One Hit Wonders Of The Decade. Joe and the Squad had clubs jumping with their Scott Storch produced hit "Lean Back" back in 2004. After that they never had a song chart higher than #64.
It should come as no surprise to anyone that New York rapper MIMS also made the list at #4. He enjoyed phenomenal success in 2007 with his song "This Is Why I'm Hot" . After that he vanished and is now on the back of milk cartons everywhere.

BET.com Reports
Despite 50 Cent calling Jay-Z Beyonce’s husband and more recently jabbing that he thinks he’s Jesus, rumor has it that the two may actually be working together behind the scenes. A source who recently found himself eavesdropping on a conversation at a certain New York Giant’s office, recently told BET.com that Hov may be unifying the big apple by featuring Fif and Nas on the “Empire State of Mind” remix.
Word is the entire recording as well as conversations between the NY juggernauts will be documented. In addition to continually jabbing Jay, Fif has had issues with Nas for a while. Former friends, the Queens MCs became at odds after Fif called Nas out on The Massacre’s “Piggy Bank.” Word has already been spreading that Nas, who was reportedly slated to appear on the original track, is on deck for the remix.
One thing is sure, the remix would be huge for the city. What do you guys think? Is the rumor true? Can these legends bury the hatchet for the greater good of hip-hop’s birth place? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.

HipHopWired Reports
While people are still wondering, where are you Yeezy? Kanye West is seeing his name brought back into the limelight, this time for more positive reasons. While Kanye's been somewhat quiet on the music scene he's seeing the countless hours of studio time and production for his debut project paying off.
Kanye has been deemed as the man with the #1 album of the last ten years. According to Entertainment Weekly, Kanye's College Dropout is a classic, so much so that it's worthy of the title of 'top album of the decade.'
The list of ‘Top Albums of the Decade' from the entertainment wire hit the net today and already has the internet abuzz with debate.
Following behind Yeezy on the list is his mentor/ friend/ Roc Nation President, Jay-Z.
Jigga came in at #2 on the list with the very first installment of his Blueprint trilogy, 2001's The Blueprint. Other notables are Big Boi and Andre 3000 of the legendary team OutKast, whose Stankonia album landed at #4.
Entertainment Weekly's List of ‘Top Ten Albums of The Decade' is below:1. The College Dropout, Kanye West (2004)
2. The Blueprint, Jay-Z (2001)
3. Kid A, Radiohead (2000)
4. Stankonia, OutKast (2000)
5. Love And Theft, Bob Dylan (2001)
6. Home, The Dixie Chicks (2002)
7. Funeral, The Arcade Fire (2004)
8. I Am… Sasha Fierce, Beyoncé (2008)
9. FutureSex/LoveSounds, Justin Timberlake, (2006)
10. You Are Free, Cat Power (2003)
Ehhhh this list is a little shaky. For one, that god awful I Am Sasha Fierce is on here, so that immediately shows that something's wrong.
Here's my question though, how'd College Dropout beat Stankonia? I mean it was a solid debut but still…
Oh and where's Eminem? He's outsold just about everyone on this list. I'm just sayin…..

With his group the Black Eye Peas nominated for an impressive six Grammys, including the top prizes of album and record of the year, will.i.am has plenty of reasons to look forward to next month's awards show – something that wasn't necessarily the case during his first Grammy experience.
"I remember that I was nervous," the musician, 34, told PEOPLE about his 2005 appearance. Recalling his Grammy debut while at an event announcing the first-ever Data Awards for electronic music, he said, "I was real nervous. We performed "Where Is the Love." I remember I got up on the mic and said, 'Everybody go out and vote.' "
While the Peas didn't perform on last year's telecast, will.i.am attended – as a contender. "I was nominated for producer of the year award," he said. "I lost to Rick Rubin again, [who] is good to lose to."
Known for unorthodox live collaborations and performances, the Grammy Awards have attracted a host of superstars for duets in past years. "My favorite Grammy moment lately [was] the Prince and Beyoncé performance," will.i.am says, remembering the singers' 2004 duet of "Purple Rain," "just seeing Prince and Beyoncé rocking."

Rolling Stone Reports
Drake has lined up Jay-Z, Young Jeezy and “Forever” co-stars Kanye West and Lil Wayne to appear on his much-anticipated debut album Thank Me Later, the rapper told MTV News. Backstage at Wednesday’s Grammy Nominations Concert, the MC told Rolling Stone, “My album is slated to come out in March. I’m still working on the album, but they might try to move it up.”
Even without releasing a full album, Rolling Stone’s 2009 Artist to Watch was still nominated for a pair of Grammys, locking up nods in both the Best Rap Song and Best Rap Solo Performance categories for “Best I Ever Had.” It hasn’t been all good news for Drake in 2009, as a leg injury forced the Canadian rapper off Lil Wayne’s America’s Most Wanted tour, but it allowed Drake to instead focus on his debut disc. “It’s just pulling everybody together: I had a wish list for my managers of everybody I wanted involved that stem beyond hip-hop,” Drake told MTV. “I’m trying to pull it all together.”
One person Drake had high on his wish list of collaborators is R&B singer Sade, though it doesn’t appear that the two have recorded together yet. Plus, there was one more mystery guest that Drake was tight-lipped about. “It’s this other one I’m excited about that’s kinda left [field],” Drake told MTV. “It’s gonna be a great project — well-rounded.”

Tiger Woods' other New York girl spent the day holed up in her plush Chelsea pad Sunday after she was outed by the Daily News.
Cori Rist is now one of at least six women linked to the golf world's top swordsman.
The 31-year-old leggy and busty blond spent Sunday calling friends, saying, "My involvement with Tiger Woods has just surfaced," according to a pal.
Cori Rist
Rist also had to explain the sudden media attention to her 7-year-old son, who has idolized Woods since his mother got him an autographed golf club from the Grand Slam-winning legend.
The alleged mistress' ex-husband, Neil Santos, stopped at her apartment Sunday night to drop off their son but refused to comment.
Woods met Rist at New York hot spot Butter last year, The News' George Rush and Joanna Molloy reported Sunday.
"They went on to another party," an insider told The News. "One thing led to another, and, pretty soon, Tiger was flying her to hook up with him on tour."
Rist said she is declining to comment "at this time" on the fling, which lasted about six months, sources said. She was last spotted at Butter with Woods and a party of friends on a Monday night four weeks ago, a source said.
Rist is said to have tired of being secreted around the country for her hookups with Woods.
"Tiger would typically get a large suite at a hotel. Someone would book Cori an adjacent room, so she wouldn't be seen coming into his room," an insider told Rush and Molloy.
"He would get the presidential suite," the source continued. "It was the ultimate in luxury. The trouble is, he never wanted to leave the room."
Hailing from the small rural town of Rossford, Ohio, Rist moved to the city determined tobecome a fashion model, butthe closest she got to her dream was modeling swimsuits and activewear in catalogues, a friend said.
She and Santos married in 2002, but by 2005 the relationship was starting to sour. A friend said Rist began taking mysterious trips around the country, frequenting city nightclubs and dressing in expensive clothes and jewelry.
After her divorce was finalized in January 2008, she met Woods, she told friends. She and Santos are battling in Family Court over custody of their son, records show.
As Woods remained in seclusion Sunday, talk-show queen Oprah Winfrey reportedly called him to offer advice - and an outlet to tell his side of the story. Image experts said it could be a good first step toward repairing his image.
While most of the women who have come out of the woodwork were often flown around the world to meet him, Woods didn't have to stray far from the comforts of his Florida home to find booze and blonds who were not his wife.
He found plenty of homegrown action at Orlando clubs just minutes from his family home in Windermere, Fla., The News has learned.
He was a regular in the VIP rooms at Blue Martini and Club 23, where the billion-dollar man has been known to drop $1,500 a night at the swanky joints.
"When Tiger goes out in Orlando he certainly goes to Blue Martini," a local club insider told The News. "Any rich and horny guy from the suburbs can go there and leave with a girl on each arm."
The cavernous party spot is full of intimate corners where regulars say Woods was often seen with packs of women around him.
TMZ.com reported that nearby Club 23 even has a private section known as "The Tiger Room" because Woods spent so many nights there.
Reports of Woods' close-to-home dalliances come amid reports Sunday that he also hooked up with an Orlando waitress, Mindy Lawton, in a church parking lot and even his home while his then-pregnant wife was out of town.
She told London's News of the World that he "wanted to spank me and loved pulling my hair as we had sex."
Mindy Lawton
Other reports linked Woods to 36-year-old blond porn star Holly Sampson. Britain's Daily Mail reported that the Los Angeles hottie - star of such recent adult films as "OMG, Stop Tickling Me" and "Flying Solo 2" - is "not denying she bedded Tiger."
"She has no comment on the matter," Sampson's Denver-based lawyer Andrew Contiguglia told The News.
If true, Sampson would be lucky No. 7 on the list of purported Woods' bedmates, which includes hot-bodied blonds and brunettes with an average age of 30.
The list started with big-lipped beauty Rachel Uchitel, a Manhattan club hostess who hoofed it to Los Angeles to meet lawyer Gloria Allred in the early days of the now-epic Woods scandal that first broke the day after Thanksgiving. Uchitel has both denied and confirmed a relationship with Woods.

Woods' scorecard of girls also includes:
- Jaimee Grubbs, former contestant on VH1's "Tool Academy" who has admitted to an affair.
- Kalika Moquin, a 27-year-old Las Vegas nightclub executive, who denies a relationship.
- Jamie Jungers, a Vegas cocktail waitress who allegedly had an 18-month fling with Woods.
Jamie Jungers
The sex scandal erupted in the early-morning hours after Thanksgiving when the golfer crashed his SUV outside his house - apparently after an argument with his wife over another woman.

Fans of D-Block (Jadakiss, Sheek Louch and Styles P) have been anxiously awaiting a new album from the trio, also known as The Lox, for years. While they've said in recent press that the album is being worked on, no one really knows when it's coming.
Sheek touched on the progress recently, revealing that he and his group members have been working with Diddy, trying to hash out a deal where the project would be release via D-Block and Bad Boy Records.
"Yo word up, top of the year, Lox album is coming," Sheek began, during an interview with Hot 93.7 radio show, On-Air Idiots. "I would love for it to come then, we're working actually with Puff, with Sean Combs. We working out that. Puff Daddy, we working that out. We working that out and hopefully it goes down. It's gonna be Interscope/Bad Boy/D-Block. Oh yo, slash Ruff Ryders. I'm sorry, I can't leave my boys out. It's like a big thing because we still Interscope. We still Ruff Ryders. It'll be a nice thing."
While nothing is set it stone, it sounds like The Lox is really happy to be working with Diddy again.
In a recent interview with Power 99, Jadakiss weighed in on the Lox reunion. He said it's the trio's main focus right now, and even if they're unable to work out the details with Diddy, he promises the project will be coming soon.
"Our main focus right now is that Lox album," Jada stressed. "It might be coming out through Diddy, it might be coming out through some other people, but it's going down.
"Diddy just did a new deal with Interscope, as y'all know with his Dirty Money and all his other stuff," the rapper cotinued. "He put an offer out there for a one album deal over there, so you know, we thinking about making it."
As for the problems The Lox went through with Diddy in the past, Jada admitted that the group learned a lot from the hip-hop mogul, and if a deal with him makes sense, they will go for it.
"If it don't make dollars, it could make cents and we'll do it again," Jada said. "It's about the evolution, it's about growing. We came into the business with him -- despite our differences [because] of our lack of knowledge in the game and other sh** and what so -- we still learned a lot from him. To work all them things out and make a full 360 and possibly work again with him after ten years, that would be incredible. It shows maturity as artists, it shows respect as men and it's good for the outside far as what he can do for us and what we can do for him."
While The Lox sound like they are with it, so does Diddy. While speaking with MTV recently, he expressed his interest in working with his former labelmates again.
"I would definitely love to do the next Lox album," Diddy said. "I would love to collaborate with them. I think it's important just to do ... I would look forward to it ... We been talking about it."

Video After The Jump50 Cent hit up BBC Radio1 to check in with the UK's #1 instigator, Tim Westwood. He addressed the Tiger Woods saga, letting Tim know the mistakes he feels Tiger made with his jump offs. I found it really interesting how Tim pretended not to remember that it was he who basically goaded Jay-Z into saying the now infamous "Nobody is scared of 50 Cent" line. Also somebody needs to send an air mail to Tim letting him know what's going on over here in the U.S.. Because he's the only one that doesn't seem to know that "Pimpin Curly" is locked up and has been for a minute.

Troubled comedian Katt Williams spoke out about being detained yesterday at a Georgia Wal Mart. Katt claims he had some words with the boyfriend of a girl he just hired inside the store. He noticed that one of the family members that was with the boyfriend had a pistol so he suggested they all step outside. Once outside, the police were called, he was then detained and his semi-truck searched which resulted in some of his camera equipment being broken. In the end, Katt was not charged with any wrongdoing.

PHILADELPHIA - A school counselor suffering an apparent heart attack died in a Philadelphia emergency room after waiting nearly 80 minutes for help , and a trio of homeless drug addicts nearby stole his watch instead of seeking aid, police said.Joaquin Rivera, 63, died before seeing a triage nurse at Atria Health's Frankford Campus over the weekend, police said.
Rivera, a musician and activist in the city's Latino community, had spent more than 30 years working as a bilingual counselor at an inner-city high school.
"We're all destroyed. A guy like that, for him to leave us the way that he did , and with what happened to him , everybody's destroyed," said Jesse Bermudez, a friend and fellow musician.
Rivera's cruel end was captured on security videotape, much like the June 2008 death of Esmin Green, who died on a hospital floor as staffers at Kings County Hospital Center in Brooklyn ignored her. Green's family recently settled a lawsuit against the city for $2 million.
Rivera had walked to the Northeast Philadelphia hospital late Saturday from his home a few blocks away after pain started shooting down his right side. He registered at 10:45 p.m. and took a seat, chatting for about 20 minutes with two men and a woman nearby.
Based on witness accounts, police believe Rivera passed out about an hour later. Security video then shows one of the men steal his watch and briefly pass it to the other.
"There's no resistance from Mr. Rivera at all, which is why we believe he's probably dead. There's no stirring from him," said Capt. Jack McGinnis, a city detective.
The second suspect is then seen by doctors, and a security guard arrives to ask his sleeping companions to leave. A witness first reports that Rivera may be dead.
At 12:04 a.m., he is pronounced dead.
"You would hope he would have died with dignity," McGinnis said.
Aria Health offered condolences to the family Tuesday but otherwise declined comment, citing patient confidentiality and the pending criminal case.
McGinnis describes the three suspects as homeless drug addicts. Police arrested one of them, 44-year-old Richard Alten, at the hospital and a second one, Martin Smith later. The third suspect is still being sought.
Detectives have seen the video footage, but Aria Health had not yet produced a copy for them, McGinnis said. Police hope to publicize it to find the missing pair.
Drug addicts, he said, will steal from family , or the dead.
"It seems despicable, but they would do it," McGinnis said. "(The death) seemed like a perfect opportunity."
Alten remains in custody, and the public defender's office representing him declined comment.
A preliminary ruling suggests Rivera died of hypertension. He is survived by his wife and three children.
Rivera also leaves behind a rich musical legacy that includes local radio and TV appearances in which he shared the music he learned as a boy in the mountains of Cayey, Puerto Rico. He also inspired countless Olney High School students to attend college, Bermudez said.
Bermudez last saw his friend Saturday afternoon, when they played together at Centro Musical, a neighborhood music store that serves as a gathering place for Latino musicians.
"Without him, the traditional folk music of Puerto Rico wouldn't be alive here in Philadelphia," Bermudez said.
