Kendrick Lamar hit up the Bootleg Kev show recently and blessed the mic with a freestyle over 2Pac's "Hail Mary."

The Compton rapper also talks about his Gucci Mane collaboration and possibly working with Nas in the future.

After the success of 'Watch The Throne' one might think there will be more collaborative efforts between big artists. That may happen, but that's easier said than done.

Getting two or more huge egos to mesh together long enough to deliver a full album is a tall task. Singer Trey Songz has considered the possibility and thinks he could make it work with only one other artist.

"I mean, you got to look at (Kanye and Jay-Z) and see how long it took them to do it, you know? So it has to be organic in whatever way it happen," Trey told The Source. "It can’t be a business decision and you can’t look at it in a way of making it lucrative. I think it has to be something that you are definitely going into for music’s sake. It has to be something real, because if it’s not authentic you can hear it. They’ve been working together for so long and so many tracks together under their belt before this album even came that it’s been very much premeditated. When thinking along the lines of that, Drake is the first person that comes to mind that I am that musically comfortable with in that space. He is a friend of mine as well, and I think we can pull something off like that could sound very authentic."

Drake is currently working on his sophomore album 'Take Care.' Trey is busy putting the finishing touches on his fifth studio album 'Chapter 5.'

Kreayshawn and V-Nasty of the White Girl Mob know how to create controversy.

Already dealing with criticism over their use of the n-word, the two Oakland newcomers are taking on rap's biggest cop, Officer Ricky.

In a freestyle for Philadelphia DJ Cosmic Kev, Kreayshawn spit the line: "You tryin' to play me like a boss? You faker than Rick Ross," an obvious diss at the obese rapper.

When asked about the line by MTV several days later Kreayshawn backtracked, insisting she wasn't dissing Ross.

"I feel like with anything, you're painting a picture. I've never, ever intentionally dissed anybody my whole career, and I don't do that personally with friends either,"Kreayshawn said. "I'm not like a person to go against anyone or anything. So hey, no offense to you Rick Ross. There's no Rick Ross offensive things going on in there, even though it sounds like it."

Now a new video has surfaced showing Kreayshawn watching her MTV interview, then saying how she really feels about Officer Ricky.

"What I really wanted to say is Rick Ross is fake... wanksta," she says. "Can Rick Ross find his d*ck? I bet you $5 Rick Ross can't find his d*ck."

V-Nasty clowns the rapper as well.

"What's he gonna say, that he's got bigger t*ts than Kreayshawn?" she jokes.

Looks like the White Girl Mob has managed to extend their 15 minutes of fame by at least another five.

Peep the video below.

Some of hip hop's finest acts kicked off the 2011 Rock The Bells Tour at San Bernardino's San Manuel Amphitheater yesterday

According to the Los Angeles Times, two of the sets that stood out were Nas and Lauryn Hill. Both of whom performed their classic albums 'Illmatic,' and 'The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill' in their entirety.

No album better captured that dichotomy than the evening’s emotional core, "Illmatic,” with Nas aided by the album’s lone guest star, AZ, and its legendary producers, Pete Rock and DJ Premier. Backed by a set piece of the Queensbridge Houses projects and clips from four elements of the hip-hop bible, “Wild Style,” the all-black clad Nas brought the “dungeons of rap” to the Inland Empire.

Lil Wayne seems to get sued almost as much cranks out hit records.

The latest lawsuit against the Young Money boss comes from a rapper by the name of Rich Rick. Rick alleges he was sold the "How To Love" beat by production team the Drummer Boyz, between 2006 and 2009.

According to TMZ, the Drumma Boyz sold the same beat to Lil Wayne in November 2010 for a 35% royalty deal. The song is now a hit record, and Rick wants his money back plus some.

Rick is suing Wayne, the Drummer Boyz, and others for everything from breach of contract to fraud. They are demanding everything DB are entitled to under their agreement with Wayne ... plus 10% interest.

When sports rivalries get really bitter, or a few idiots get drunk and want to brawl, the end result is what happened last night at Candlestick Park in San Francisco.

The pre-season match up between the Oakland Raiders and the San Francisco 49er's took a backseat to the violence in the stands amongst their fans.

Fans brawled in the stands and a man was beaten unconscious inside of a restroom.

Outside of the venue things only got worse, as one 24-year old man wearing a t-shirt that read "F—the 49ers" was shot several times in the stomach. Another man in his 20's was shot in the face according to New York Daily News.

I'll never understand paying to go to an event just to act a fool, smh.
