Jennifer Lopez has men falling all over themselves trying to get her attention in the video for "Papi."

The Paul Hunter directed clip is the third single from J-Lo's latest album Love?

Prodigy and Havoc are about to step back onto the music scene for the first time as a group in five years. The duo are set to release an EP on November 26.

"We have an EP coming on Black Friday,” Havoc told XXL. “We didn’t come up with a title yet, but we’ll have a title that will mean something. It will be like seven or eight songs. I did like three. We have some produced by J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, Alchemist and this kid named Young Free.”

Mobb Deep's last album was 2006's 'Blood Money.'

The group recently inked a deal with Sony Red to distribute for their Infamous Records imprint. The EP will be the first project.

"The EP is done. It sounds good, seven or eight songs. Some real hip-hop sh*t, some real substance," Havoc said.

Jay-Z and Beyonce are sparing no expense when it comes to their unborn bundle of joy.

The couple has already spent a cool million bucks making sure B and the baby are getting the best of care.

“Beyoncé’s waited a long time to have a baby and she’s determined to take good care of herself,” a source told DailyStab. “She’s paying a dietician to organize a food plan of natural organic meals for her, she’s having daily massages and she’s spent a fortune on lotions to prevent stretchmarks and keep her feeling good. Beyoncé’s been told to look after herself like never before and Jay-Z’s making sure she has everything she needs.”

Money isn't an issue for the power couple, who are estimated to be worth nearly a billion dollars. So a few million spent to insure the health of their future offspring is small change.

Ray-J and Fabolous got into a fight over the weekend.

Early reports are that Ray-J punched Fab in the face over some jokes on twitter about Ray J singing at Floyd Mayweather Jr's house.

"You want to diss me and the Money Team, and we got 7 Rolls Royce's outside. Don't disrespect me fool," a heated Ray-J told The Breakfast Club this morning. "N*ggas saying Ray J got beat up? I smacked that n*gga in the face. All I'm saying is if you got Fab's number tell him to send a picture of his face right now. I'm not playing games with these b*tch ass n*ggas," Ray continued. "Don't disrespect me and Floyd [Mayweather Jr.] like that. I play piano in that motherf*cker every day, that's my big bro, we grew up together. So if you think I just came over there to sing a song then you got me twisted. I'm always over there."

Ray was far from done.

"I swear to God, he's running from me right now. I had 100 fools outside [the club]. He never left the club -- he was scared up in there. He tried to call the police. Shout out to my big bro Diddy because he tried to be like 'look they was just going on on you, and it was all fun and games.' Shout out to Kevin Hart, he's a comedian, but Fab aint no comedian. My homie saved his life when he was in L.A. His life was threatened by my other dudes, and my other homie saved his life. So how dare you even speak disrespectful to me. So when I seen him I was with Floyd and 50 [Cent], and he tried to say 'don't touch me' and I touched that n*gga."

Rihanna took her highly successful Loud tour to Brazil over the weekend.

The superstar singer played her first show ever in Sao Paulo at Arena Skol Saturday (September 17).

Provided By Echilon Communications (NY) Vlogger Patric Bernard is usually witty and
intelligent as seen in his other YouTube
Videos but in this latest video of “Chat Roulette” Patric
takes his witty, and awkward moment comedy to a whole new level. This is the
first time we’re being introduced to “Chat Roulette”. In a strange way it’s
actually an unintentional endorsement because of how well its done. See for
yourself below:

Skylar Grey has collaborated with Eminem on 2 huge hits, but she is still adjusting to working with the superstar.

Grey co-wrote and sings on "Love The Way You Lie." She also sings the hook on the Dr. Dre/Eminem collaboration "I Need A Doctor."

It's been the opportunity of a lifetime for Grey. One she is grateful for.

"Eminem makes fun of me. But he's a rare breed of an artist that doesn't come along every day, so being able to be in a room with him and see his creativity at work was both inspiring and intimidating," she said according to ContactMusic.

The 25-year old singer also revealed the inspiration used to inspire her to write "Love The Way You Lie."

"It wasn't necessarily about literal violence in a relationship, but that vicious cycle of somebody who keeps you on your toes because they're kind of an assh*le. I do tend to fall for assholes because they keep me on my toes and I don't get bored. That's what I wrote it about."

NORE gets things popping in this fresh new video for "Finito."

Watch the Slime Father trade verses with Lil Wayne over this Neptunes produced track.

**Update: Mayweather vs Larry Merchant video, Post fight press conference and more pics added**

It's hard to say what was more compelling. Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s dominating performance in winning over Victor Ortiz Saturday night (September 17), or his post fight argument with HBO announcer Larry Merchant.

Although Ortiz had his moments during the fight, he was dominated by Mayweather, who despite a 15-month layoff looked sharp during the entire fight.

The ending of the fight came suddenly, and brutally in a bizarre fourth round that saw Ortiz head butt Mayweather. At that point the referee separated the fighters to warn Ortiz, and to deduct 1 point for the foul. He then signasl for the fighters to start fighting again. They touch gloves and Mayweather throws a left, right combination catching Ortiz flush, putting him to sleep.

At the time Ortiz looked confused as to whether the fight had started again, but you're always told to protect yourself at all times.

Referee Joe Ortez wasn't looking at the fighters when the ko occured. He got distracted looking at the timekeeper, and can clearly be heard asking "did the bell ring?"

Cortez basically lost control of the fight. The punches Mayweather landed were legal. The referee acknowledged after the fight that Mayweather had done nothing wrong.

"Time was 'in' and the fighter has to have his guard up," Cortez said. "Mayweather did nothing wrong."

Keith Kizer, executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, also said the punches were legal according to MLive.

"Cortez pointed to the timekeeper," Kizer said, "and time was 'in.' Floyd's punches came a second after time was back 'in.' "


During his post fight interview with Larry Merchant, Mayweather got very heated at Merchant's persistent questioning about the punches. Finally Mayweather got tired of it, and went off on the announcer.

"You never give me a fair shake. HBO needs to fire you," Mayweather screamed. "You don't know sh*t about boxing."

"I wish I was 50 years younger and I'd kick your ass," the 71- year old Merchant yelled back.

Ortiz took the loss well. He apologized for the head butt, and said he still has a lot to learn.

"There's two ways to look at it but as far as I was concerned I came here to entertain the fans and I think they were entertained," Ortiz said. "There was a miscommunication with the referee but nobody is perfect and this was a learning experience."

The win raised Money May's record to 42-0. He also claimed Ortiz's WBC Welterweight Championship belt.

After the fight the Money Team was in a celebratory mood.

"What's all the ca motion oh THE MONEY TEAM. Its just another victory. LMAO," 50 Cent wrote on twitter. He later posted a pic of a Hublot watch he was given by the champion. "Look what my boy @FloydMayweather got for me. Cool its called king power SK."

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Four people were arrested after detectives discovered a burglary in progress at the home of champion boxer Manny Pacquiao while he was in his native Philippines preparing for a fight, authorities said Saturday.

Nothing was taken and no one was home Friday during the midday break-in that detectives witnessed by chance in the Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, sheriff's Capt. Mike Parker said.

The fighter was informed of the burglary and will proceed to his training base in the northern resort city of Baguio to prepare for his third fight against Juan Manuel Marquez of Mexico on Nov. 12 in Las Vegas, his attorney and chief of staff Franklin Gacal said.

Gacal said the break-in occurred when a security guard who oversees the house had gone out to eat.

"Manny is happy that nothing was stolen," Gacal said.

The area is patrolled by the Los Angeles Police Department, but detectives from the Sheriff's Department were in the area on an unrelated criminal investigation when they saw the home being burglarized and made the arrests, Parker said.

The four people were being questioned. Their names have not been released and they have yet to be charged.

Pacquiao, 32, has won 14 straight fights and is considered by many the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world and among the greatest of all time. He is a megastar in the Philippines, where he is also a singer, actor and congressman.

DJ Whoo Kid was in the mood to reminisce when he talked with HipHopBeef recently.

The G-Unit record spinner talked about his days working at radio station Hot 97 in NYC. Back then Whoo Kid says he was known to diss people, so he always had to be ready if confronted.

"At Hot 97 I always used to carry a cup of hot tea. Especially at 2 in the morning because if you talk about somebody on the radio, that's the best time for them to catch you," Whoo Kid said. "You can ask [Funkmaster] Flex and all these guys. We had the hot tea technique. A n*gga come at me.... Shout out to all the artists that ever wanted to kill me but it's too late 'cause I don't do that sh*t no more. Because I love my life and I'm like 39 now. All I want is orgy beef"

Long hours of road work and sparring can get fighters edgy as a big bout approaches.

A prime example of that happened at the weigh in for tonight's big fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Victor Ortiz. The fighters faced off, jawing non-stop until Mayweather grabs Ortiz by the throat before they are separated.

This looks like it's going to be a great fight.

R. Kelly was a guest on WGCI Chicago’s “Tony Sculfield & The Morning Riot.” on Thursday (September 15).

Kels was asked which of the young singers that are out currently that have a chance to be next in line.

“Trey Songz is a guy that if he keeps with the hits and he humbles himself a little more, he will definitely be one of the runner-ups," Kelly said. “Chris Brown is already there. He’s a humble guy. Chris Brown used to come to my studio when he was 13, 14, 15 and 16. I got the utmost respect for Chris Brown. My hat goes off to him because he got in the studio, he did what he was supposed to do, and he bounced back like round ball.”

Kelly also talked about his recent throat surgery.
