The tension between Meek Mill and Cassidy seems to have reached a boiling point. The two well respected Philadelphia rappers have been going back and forth on Twitter for a couple of months now.

A proposed battle between the two was supposed to take place, but Meek decided Cassidy wasn't "hot enough" and said there would be no battle.

Cassidy then released "Diary of a Hustler," a song that widely perceived as a Meek diss. Cassidy later went on The Breakfast Club and denied that was the case.

Last night things heated up again when Cassidy dropped the Meek Mill diss track "Me, Myself & iPhone." In the song he said Meek released "I'm a Boss" because he was riding Rick Ross' coattails and that all of his songs sound the same.

Meek responded on Twitter by saying Cassidy possibly snitched on his co-defendant in his 2006 murder trial by taking a plea deal, was locked up in protective custody and challenged Cassidy to battle him today, Saturday December 22.

Cassidy responded by saying he was only in protective custody a short amount of time and he has already given Meek plenty of time to accept a battle.

"They automatically put U on PC when U famous & in the newspaper. But I had pull.. So I got off after the 1st month, did 7 1/2 in population..FOH," Cass wrote.

Will there ever be a battle between these two? Hopefully so, then maybe they can shake hands and squash the beef.

Talib Kweli stopped by Sway In the Morning recently to spit a freestyle and discuss a wide variety of subjects. The Brooklyn emcee talked about Kanye West's influence on the rap game.

"What I like about Kanye and what he's done for artists like Drake and Big Sean and Lupe [Fiasco] and other artists that you hear in the mainstream that's not always busting their gun or popping bottles. They do that every once in a while. When they do do it you sometimes don't even believe them. It's like when you hear that type of stuff I like it. I like seeing the different influences in the mainstream. I like hearing Drake being emotional. People make fun of his raps for being emotional, but I think we need to hear more of that. I like Big Sean playing with the cadences and playing with flows. And going off the wall with it and trying different things," Talib said.

Talib also clears up rumors that he and Mos Def have split up. He says Blackstar is still intact and still do a lot of shows together.

Mississippi rap prodigy and vocal advocate for the Gangster Disciple Nation DIRT has released a rebuttal to the controversy surrounding rapper Rick Ross and the cancellation of his God Forgives, I Don't Tour. A longtime member of the Gangster Disciple Nation, DIRT is the voice in the music world to get the message loud and clear to Rick Ross—"Make good on your promises to our brotherhood and keep your rap career alive." With a new single "Six," it is clear to see the blatant disrespect to the Gangster Disciple Nation with references of the Nation's leader, Larry Hoover and the use of the Star of David on the cover of The Black Bar Mitzvah mixtape will no longer be tolerated.

Not only an avid storyteller with slick rhymes and a fierce flow, but an advocate for bringing the Southern Hip-Hop Movement even further along in the Music World, DIRT is a name to remember. A devout affiliation with the Gangster Disciples has grounded DIRT with the stamina, loyalty and perseverance to conquer anything he places his mind to. Today he releases his explosive new single Six as an answer to the mockery of the Gangster Disciple Nation Rick Ross has been making. "I do not condone any violence, in fact I believe the matter can be handled, if he (Rick Ross) makes good on fiduciary arrangements that were to be handled a while back. But enough is enough with the blatant disrespect on my Nation and Larry Hoover. I'm here as the voice to the voiceless, my brothers and sisters and we will no longer tolerate the foolery of Ross." Dirt says.

DIRT dispels any alleged death threats that have been referenced, but does stand 100% by the fact Ross needs to own up to promises he has yet to make good on for the public use of the Gangster Disciple Nation to push singles, records and concerts. "This matter has nothing to do with the other members of Maybach Music Group in any way, but a straight violation on Ross' behalf of agreements that have been previously made." DIRT explains. The new single Six is an explosive track that lyrically and musically explains the situation. With a video coming soon, it is only hopefully that Ross' clears this matter up and everyone can come to terms. "I do not engage in "rap beefs", but I will stand up for what I believe in no matter what, in this case it is my family, the great Gangster Disciple Nation!"-DIRT

"SIX" was Produced by Trizz Money of the Machine, and was engineered by Bukoh Roccheadz. You can find the Press Release to this record and DIRT's stance on the GD's current matters at www.DIRT601.com or http://www.dirt601.blogspot.com/

She didn’t medal at the Olympics — but she won the gold in the sack!

A married, former US track star who competed in three Olympic Games and worked with Disney and Nike has been living a shocking double life for the past year as a $600-an-hour-hooker.

Perky blonde Suzy Favor Hamilton — a 44-year-old motivational speaker with a disarming girl-next-door smile — turned high-priced tricks in posh Las Vegas hotel rooms and other love nests around the country, according to a bombshell new report.

She called the lifestyle “exciting” — but admitted that, as a mom and wife, she did wrong.

“I take full responsibility for my mistakes. I’m not the victim and I’m not going that route,” Favor Hamilton, of Madison, Wis., told The Smoking Gun Web site. “I’m owning up to what I did. I would not blame anybody except myself.”

Steamy, lingerie-clad images of the champion runner helped tout her services on the Web site of a Vegas escort agency called Haley Heston’s Private Collection, where Favor Hamilton operated under the name “Kelly Lundy,” according to The Smoking Gun.

Customers could hire her lithe Olympic-class runner’s body for $600 an hour, $1,000 for two hours and $6,000 for 24 hours. The site described her build as “athletic,” her bosom as “perky,” and her belly button as “pierced.”

She was willing to provide horny customers the full “girlfriend experience,” and would also engage in a certain undisclosed sex act for an extra $300.

“I enjoy men of all shapes, sizes and colors, and I have an affinity for women (I am bisexual),” “Kelly” wrote on her page on the escort service’s Web site. “I consider dates with couples an experience to cherish.”

Her sexual skills reportedly earned her a high rating on The Erotic Review, a Web site frequented by prostitution fans.

Favor Hamilton’s lusty secret life might have stayed secret if she had not made the mistake of revealing her true identity to some of her wealthy johns, who went to the media.

Yesterday, the former Olympian took to Twitter to explain her hooker high jinks.

“I was drawn to escorting in large part because it provided many coping mechanisms for me when I was going through a very challenging time with my marriage and my life . . . It was a double life,” she wrote.

“I do not expect people to understand, but the reasons for doing this made sense to me at the time and were very much related to depression.”

Hamilton told The Smoking Gun that her husband, Mark, knew about her prurient part-time job.

Yesterday, Mark Hamilton told The Post that her call-girl life almost tore apart their marriage, but he hopes their relationship can be saved.

“Yes, I knew,” said Mark, a former college baseball player who met Suzy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “We were essentially separated the past year. We are trying, with help, to see if we can make it work.

“Suzy is a good person who went down the wrong path, obviously.”

Before yesterday’s salacious revelation, Favor Hamilton was best known for running down the path to glory.

A seven-time US national champion and nine-time NCAA titlist in middle-distance events, Favor Hamiton’s stellar running career was marred in the final of the women’s 1,500 meters at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

After leading with half a lap to go, Favor Hamilton deliberately fell on the homestretch when she was suddenly passed by several runners and she realized she couldn’t win.

She had been desperate to win the race to honor her brother, Dan, who committed suicide in 1999.

In the years since, Favor Hamilton had settled down in Madison and worked in real estate with her husband.

After the birth of her daughter in 2005, she reportedly suffered postpartum depression and started taking the antidepressant Zoloft, according to The Smoking Gun.

The site said Favor Hamilton started working as a call girl in December 2011.

Under the name “Kelly,” Favor Hamilton quickly became popular with discerning johns and wound up turning tricks across the country in places such as Vegas, Houston, Los Angeles and Chicago, The Smoking Gun reported.

On her escort-site profile, “Kelly” wrote, “I met Haley with the idea of fulfilling a fantasy and only doing it for the short term.”

Tweets from Haley Heston in late August said that “Kelly” would soon be in Orange County, Calif.

Coincidentally, Favor Hamilton was in the area at about that time to run in a half-marathon and speak at Disneyland. She was not a Disney employee.

She also spent a lot of time in Vegas where, despite its reputation, prostitution is illegal, The Smoking Gun said. According to her schedule on the Haley Heston Web site, “Kelly” had several Sin City “incall/outcall” appointments available in October, November and December.

“For dates I prefer a San Pellegrino or a nice Pinot Noir,” she wrote on the Haley Heston Web site. “I never expect gifts, but if one ever wants to provide a special treat for me, I have a liking for Louis Vuitton . . . and Christian Louboutin. Expensive tastes I know ;).”

She was so popular, she became Vegas’ No. 3 call-girl “provider,” according to The Erotic Review, The Smoking Gun reported.

That bronze-medal performance is better than she ever did in three Olympic appearances, in 1992, 1996, and 2000. She reached the finals of only one event, when she fell in 2000.

After The Smoking Gun started investigating Favor Hamilton’s double life, Haley Heston removed all traces of “Kelly” from its Web site.

Before her page came down, “Kelly’s” next Vegas stint had been set for early next month.

In a tweet yesterday, Favor Hamilton said she was now seeking a psychologist. She also apologized to her family.

“I cannot emphasize enough how sorry I am to anyone I have hurt as a result of my actions and greatly appreciate the support from family,” she wrote on Twitter.

“As crazy as I know it seems, I never thought I would be exposed, therefore never hurting anybody.

“I have been seeking the help of a psychologist for the past few weeks and will continue to do so after I have put things together.”

Her husband said he just wanted to move on.

“[I’m] trying to help her through all of this and, most importantly, continuing to protect our daughter,” he told The Post.
