Also check out the battle between 40 B.A.R.R.S. and Dutchess from Battle Rap Media's event "The Big Payback."

Radio legend Troi Torain (STAR) always delivers hard-hitting objective truth. As a culture critic he is vicious, as a businessman he is relentless, as a luminary he is un-matched.

Considered radio pioneers by many, the Star & Buc Wild show has set precedents on the urban landscape and was recently inducted into News One's "Top 20 Black Radio Jockeys Of All Time."

Star & Buc Wild made the national stage on MTV (1999) but it was their radio show on New York's Hot 97 (2000 - 2003) that secured their place in Hip-Hop history.

Star & Buc Wild's resume includes The Source magazine, MTV Networks, Hot 97, Power 104.1, Power 105.1, Pulse 87, Hip-Hop Weekly magazine, Vladtv, Thisis50, 100.3 The Beat and shot97.com and VH1 (Reality Television).

Before taking a hiatus from the battle rap scene, Serius Jones slayed a lot of your favorite emcees. He's back on the scene now and will get in the ring with Math Hoffa at Ultimate Rap League's Summer Madness 3 on September 8, for what should be a classic. It's a rematch of their previous contest on MTV’s Fight Klub.

Jones was announced the winner, but Math said it wasn't legit because he was disqualified.

“You see this guy right here? He didn’t body nobody. I got disqualified okay. He didn’t body nobody. It’s f*ckin’ four rounds. It’s three rounds in a Fight Klub, if they can’t call it they go to four,” Math explained to HipHopDX. “He was the favorite, you know how the Fight Klub do. So when they got to three they was like ‘Damn, we can’t give it to Math. We gotta do something for this n*gga.’ So they gave him the fourth, disqualified me, he took the win. But I got disqualified. He didn’t body me.”

Serius recently talked to Freak Genius TV/Major Moves DVD about the upcoming event and why he feels he defeated Math the first time around.

Check out the stacked card as announced by Smack below.

Celebrities need to start stepping up their security teams because the stick up kids are out looking for a quick come up.

Famed produced Scott Storch is the latest person to fall victim.

According to TMZ, Storch was approached while sitting in his SUV by two gunmen outside of a New York City hotel today who told him to, "Give us all your jewelry and cash or you're dead."

The thieves got away with $100,000 in jewelry and a briefcase containing between $4,000-$5,000 in cash

Storch filed a police report with the NYPD, after a failed attempt to chase the robbers when they fled with their haul to find out where they went.

**UPDATE** August 22

Scott Storch appeared on MTV's RapFix Live yesterday to talk about the robbery. He said he was coming out of a studio when he got caught slipping.

"I was walking out of the studio. They just got us before we could get in the car. It Was a set up thing," Scott told Sway Calloway. "They said give it up or they were gonna shoot. They had the gun pressed up on me and everything. I think right now people need to really make sure that when you're in the studios or during an awards show like the VMA's. People are on the hunt right now. People gotta make sure their security team is right."
