G.O.O.D. Music'sCruel Summer compliation just dropped and there's already talk of a follow up that may come this winter thanks to Q-Tip.
MTV caught up with the veteran MC on the red carpet of the BET Hip Hop Awards and he seemed to let the cat out of the bag.
After struggling to explain why he didn't appear on CS, Tip, who was flanked by his G.O.O.D. cohort Pusha T, just spilled the beans. "I know, I know, I'm sorry about that but I have to let the cat out of the bag. Kanye's probably gonna get...," the former A Tribe Called Quest frontman said before stopping mid-sentence to call over Pusha T to help him with the big news.
"If there's a Cruel Summer then there's got to be a Cruel Winter right?" Q-Tip said, alluding that the G.O.O.D. crew will be following up with another album soon. "That's all I'm saying."

Former Kennedale High School teacher Brittni Colleps insists she's not a sexual predator but says she feels like a victim after students she engaged in group sex with made a video of it without her consent.
Colleps spoke out in an interview that aired Friday on ABC's 20/20-- her first public comments since being sentenced to five years in prison last month. She was convicted of 16 felony counts of improper relationship between an educator and student.
Prosecutors say Colleps had sexual relations with five of her students, including a group sexual encounter with four that was videotaped. The video was shown to jurors during the trial.
During the 20/20 interview, Colleps, who turned 29 on Thursday, was dressed in a pale yellow jail garb, with "Tarrant County" stenciled on the leg. She remains in the jail awaiting transfer to prison.
Correspondent Deborah Roberts asks the married mother of three what part of inappropriate did she not get?
"It's not that I didn't get it," Colleps said. "I should never be able to teach again."
But Colleps also said that she didn't believe she deserved prison. She said all the students were 18 or older -- consenting adults.
Colleps added, "I felt like I was victimized in that video, because I did not, I never gave my consent for it."
To explain her behavior, the former teacher said people go through "rough patches" in their lives and that's what happened to her. Her husband, Christopher, was out of state with the Army when the group sex happened.
He, too, was interviewed, and the 20/20 cameras followed him to the jail where, he said, he visits his wife daily.
Christopher Colleps and wife Brittni
"A lot of people don't know what unconditional love is, or how to love unconditionally," he said.
He said his wife having to one day explain her actions to their children should be punishment enough.
Colleps' appellate attorney has filed a motion for a new trial, court records show.

As we previously reported, the family of Chris Lighty has launched an investigation into his death. Chris' brother, Dave Lighty, appeared on Sway in the Morning recently to talk about Chris' suspicious passing and gave his opinion on why he doesn't believe the music executive committed suicide.
"I was with my brother almost every day until the last couple of months because I was going to school. [Suicide} is not my brother," Dave said. "I know we were all going through stressful times. Everybody was, the economy is terrible right now. At the same time - man Chris was a go-getter. The ultimate non stopping machine. That's just not something I would see him putting upon the rest of us and everybody that he knows that looks up to him."
The investigation into Chris' death is being led by Les Levine. Dave said the family will provide more details to the public when things become clearer.

Fox News issued an apology today after accidentally airing a man's suicide.
Police in Phoenix, Arizona were involved in a high speed chase trying to catch an alleged car jacking suspect. The chase, which lasted for more than an hour was being covered by Fox News.
Anchor Shepard Smith was providing viewers with details of what was happening when the suspect stopped the vehicle he was driving in a remote area and began to run.
After a few seconds the suspect stops and pulls out a gun, then shoots himself in the head before falling face down.
“Get off it! Get off it! Get off it," Smith yelled, before the station cut to a commercial, but by then it was too late.
Smith later issued an apology for what an estimated 1.9 million viewers had witnessed.
“We really messed up, and we’re all really sorry,” Smith said according to the New York Daily News. “That didn’t belong on TV. I personally apologize to you that it happened. We took every precaution we knew how to take to keep that from being on TV. And I personally apologize to you that that happened ... It is insensitive, it is just wrong.

Is this guy's story doesn't scare people away from snorting cocaine I don't know what will.
James Brown of London once lived an ideal life. He made a fortune from selling property and was able to retire at the young age of 36. He then moved to Portugal where he was introduced to cocaine. He snorted so much of the drug for nine years it ate away the cartilage of his septum in his nostrils and destroyed his face. He also developed heart problems and became very paranoid.
His paranoia led him to start buying guns, lots of them to protect himself.
When police pulled the now 45-year old Brown's $190,000 Bentley over in December 2011 near Cross Hands, Camarthenshire in Wales they found $285,000 worth of cocaine hidden in the air vents and folding roof.
A subsequent search of Hurst House Hotel in Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, where the millionaire was staying yielded a haul of illegal weapons.
According to the Daily Mail, "police found a 9mm semi-automatic Walther PP1 pistol - similar to the gun used by James Bond , a Russian 9mm Tula Tokarev. a rifle and ammunition."
Brown later admitted to owning the drugs and guns.
“Brown manfully admitted the guns were his," Judge Huw Davies said, when Brown appeared in court. "Clearly, illegal possession of a firearm is a serious offence and one which carries a minimum term. The circulation of hand guns in society is a matter of serious public concern."
