Mannie Fresh touched base with Sway during today's MTV RapFix Live. Mannie was an original member of the Big Tymers along with Birdman. There's been talk of a new Big Tymers project with Lil Wayne and Drake. Birdman said recently that Mannie would not be included.
Mannie offered his opinion on the situation.
"I don't bash Cash Money, Birdman, or none of them. It's really on, I'm just striving on just getting what I deserve, you know, what I put in. So maybe that's what [Birdman's] feelings is," Mannie said. "Honestly I think Drake is a great artist, I think Wayne is a great artist, but they not the Big Tymers. It's kind of like doing a Jackson 5 album with Boyz II Men. Two different eras. Great artists, but Boys II Men not the Jackson 5. I think the people have spoken. You can go on any blog and read the comments"

Aftermath CEO Dr. Dre and Interscope Geffen A&M chairman Jimmy Iovine are giving $70 million to the University of Southern California. The gift will create the USC Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy for Arts, Technology and the Business of Innovation
The academy will focus on arts and entrepreneurship; technology, design and marketability; concept and business platforms and creating a prototype.
Students will be able to interact with guest speakers and lecturers from the arts and entertainment field and have one-on-one faculty mentoring from USC's schools of business, fine arts, engineering and music
25 students will enroll in the academy in the fall of 2014. Additional applicants will be chosen by "a rigorous review process" based on academic achievement and the "proven ability for original thought," according to Rolling Stone.
"The vision and generosity of Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young will profoundly influence the way all of us perceive and experience artistic media," university President C. L. Max Nikias said. "USC provides an extraordinarily rich academic, research and artistic environment. We are committed to encouraging our students to use their intellectual and creative resources to effect change in all segments of society. Our goal is to ensure that the academy is the most collaborative educational program in the world."
Part of the donations will go to financially supporting disadvantaged students to “go on to do something that could potentially change the world,” Dre said.

Loaded Lux has bars for days. The emcee made an appearance at the recent Killaz Battle. During his freestyle he calls out Hollow Da Don.
The crowd was silent and listening intently the entire time that Lux preached his deep poetic lyrics. Much like his verses from the Calicoe battle, you'll most likely need to rewind various parts of his freestyle to properly catch the meaning behind every word he spit.

Jaden Smith's 15th birthday arrives on July 8th. According to a rumor the teen actor/rapper wants to be emancipated from his superstar parents, Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith.
“He says, ‘Dad, I want to be emancipated.’ I know if we do this, he can be an emancipated minor, because he really wants to have his own place, like ooh," Will told The Sun recently. “That’s the backlash. On the other side, if kids just want to have command of their lives, I understand. We generally don’t believe in punishment. From the time Jaden was five or six we would sit him down, and all he has to do is be able to explain why what he did was the right thing for his life."
According to Fox, even if Jaden's parents agree with his decision it still has to be approved by the courts.
“While it may sound cool to a young teenager to have ‘freedom’ from his or her parents, the decision to emancipate should not be taken lightly by the minor, the parents or the court. We certainly have seen case after case of child stars seeking emancipation to escape unstable home environments, bad parenting or even to avoid certain child labor laws,” California-based attorney, Anahita Sedaghatfar, told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column. “Apparently Jaden Smith seeks emancipation not for any reason other than he wants to have his own place to live. The parents are given the opportunity to consent to the emancipation, but this does not make the process automatic as the court must still approve the proceeding. But he will need to show more than he simply wants his ‘freedom,’ He will need to explain to the court why it is in his best interest. Usually these are in cases of abuse or when somebody is stealing money or mismanaging a career. But maybe he wants to travel and not have to go to school,” she surmised. "But if his parents agree and have good cause he [may] be allowed to."
Despite the rumors don't expect Jaden to be going anywhere, at least for a while. He and his dad appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show yesterday and said the rumors weren't true. Will said his comments to The Sun were a joke.
"Here's the thing I need to explain. I'm not going anywhere," Jaden said. "The thing people don't understand is everything a [my dad's] house is free. So I can get anything and everything at his house. So I think I'm gonna be there 20 or 30 more years."

STAR talks about a Florida restaurant now serving lion meat, turning up the heat on reality TV (VH1), interviewing battle rapper Krissy Yamagucci, Erica Mena from "Love & Hip Hop" calling in and cousin Viv from "The Gossip Game" calling in live.
