T.I. and Tiny visited 106 & Park yesterday (February 1) to talk about the passing of "Soul Train" creator Don Cornelius, and what he meant to the culture.

"It was about him creating a platform for us to be able to see ourselves," Tip said. "Every Saturday morning after cartoons I was waiting and hoping Run DMC or somebody was on there. If not for him, we wouldn’t have had that. And not just my generation, but generations before me.”

Tiny actually appeared on "Soul Train" as a member of the group Xscape. She remembered what the experience was like.

"When I first started out we were on Soul Train and it was a great experience. It was the first time I realized they lip sync. So, you know it was something different," she said. "He paved the way for a lot of us to make it."

The couple was asked about rumors that tiny was pregnant. Rocsi tried to pry the information out of Tiny without success.

"Well, now y'all know I can't give it away," Tiny said, before T,I. interrupted.

"Hold up, wait a minute. The television channel said y'all gonna have to watch the t.v. show."

I guess we'll find that news out on VH1's "T.I. and Tiny: The Family Hustle."

2 Chainz ended all of the rumors and speculation about his new recording home yesterday (February 1) by announcing he has signed with Def Jam Records.

"At the end of the day, my new home where I've been comfortable with for a minute is Def Jam," he told Sway on MTV's RapFix Live.

Tity Boi also revealed that he and Kanye West have secretly been in the lab cooking up new music for the past year.

"One thing that people may not know is that I've been working with Kanye West for the past year," He said. "We have records together, we have ideas that we're planning on releasing to the world real soon. I'm tryna get my 'N in Paris' swag up."

The Atlanta rapper said he and Yeezy have a good working relationship.

"For the most part, when we started building our relationship, we found out we had more things in common than different from a musical standpoint," he said. "It's no secret that I came from the hustle background, from that trap, and it's no secret that he's maybe more of a hipster swag, backpack kinda guy. So I think it'll be interesting when you just drop that in the pot, in the blender, and see the outcome and results of some of that. We're gonna shake up hip hop a little bit."

Next up for Two Chainz is his solo debut album T.R.U. 2, which will drop later this year.

Extreme violence erupted in Egypt Wednesday (February 1) following a soccer game leaving at least 73 people dead and possibly as many as 1000 injured according to CBC.

CNN is reporting that Egypt's health minister has confirmed a conservative estimate of at least 200 injured.

The fights broke out after a match in Port Said between the Al-Ahly team and Port Said's Al-Masry team.

"It's kind of a security vacuum in the football stadium. ... It's not unheard of to have organized violence between football clubs, but something on this scale has never been seen before," said James Montague, who researched soccer in the Middle East for his book "When Friday Comes: Football in the War Zone."

Witnesses say most of the injuries occurred during a stampede after fans of the home team, Al-Masry, stormed on to the field following a rare 3-1 win against Al-Ahly, Egypt's top team. They then chased players and fans from the rival team.

Another match in Cairo was halted due to the violence in Port Said. Upset fans are said to have set fire to parts of the stadium there causing more injuries.

This story is still developing.

Don Cornelius, the creator of the ground breaking television show "Soul Train" has been found dead.

TMZ is reporting that the body of the 75-year old was discovered this morning at around 4 AM PT in his Sherman Oaks, California home. According to the report police believe Cornelius died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

Sources said there was no sign of foul play, but the Los Angeles Police Department is investigating.

"Soul Train" was a very popular variety show that featured performances from many star R&B, soul and hip hop acts. It aired from October 1971 to until March 2006.

As the show's host, Cornelius ended each episode with the popular catchphrase: "I’m Don Cornelius, and as always in parting, we wish you love, peace and soul!”

With his Underrated album due in stores March 13th, Bow Wow releases visuals for the lead single "Sweat" featuring Lil Wayne.

The single is available now via iTunes.

Nicki Minaj's "Stupid H*e" music video has racked up over 20 million youtube hits since it premiered January 20, but it won't be seen on BET.

The cable network is refusing to air it according to TMZ because it's too explicit for television. Nicki tweeted on Saturday that the video would be seen on MTV Jams, which is also owned by Viacom so that wouldn't seem to make any sense.

Fans of the video can still see it unedited on youtube. The video-sharing website hasn't flagged it as being inappropriate or age-restricted.

BET has yet to release an official statement on the ban.

Comedian Tracy Morgan is catching flack from relatives for failing to help his mother save her home from foreclosure.

Alicia Warden told the New York Daily News she owes less than $25,000 on her Ohio home, but her son who is worth $18 million dollars would only offer her a one time payment of $2000.

Warden says that Morgan initially agreed to pay off the home, then reneged after accusing her of granting the media an interview. A claim she denies.

Morgan's younger sister, Asia Morgan, 41, confirms her mom's dire financial problems which she attributes to her failing health. Asia said she was going to keep quiet about the situation, but it's reached the point where she can no longer be silent.

“He’s never been a nice person,” says Asia of her famous brother. “And money’s just made it worse. My mom’s house isn’t extravagant, but it’s her home, Her health is failing. She has diabetes, and her legs are giving out on her. This would be a drop in the bucket for Tracy. She has a son that can do, and she’s done everything that she could possibly could for her family.”

Morgan's mom lost her job in February 2011, and her unemployment benefits have run out. Her utilities are about to be cut off and she is also close to losing her car. She asked her son for help and got a call back from someone who worked for him.

“Tracy’s offering you a one-shot deal” of $2,000 she was told. Warden turned down the meager offer out of pride.

“I told her, ‘Thank you, but no thank you. I’m not some person in the street,” Warden says. “That was the straw that broke the camel’s back. God don’t like ugly. Karma comes back to you.”

There are obviously two side to every story. The New York Daily News reached out to Tracy for a response and didn't get one.

Maybe it's a matter of U.K. style vs. the U.S.

British GQ has rolled out it's list of the 50 Best Dressed Men 2012 and Chris Brown isn't on it. As a matter of fact he's at the opposite end of the spectrum. The publication has dubbed the singer the Worst Dressed Man in the world.

As the bespectacled child at the beginning of his video for "Yeah! 3X" cries out: "Hey, it's Chris Brown!" Inside this year GQ's 50 Best-Dressed Men 2012 in association with Mercedes-Benz, we reveal that the worst-dressed man on the planet is none other than the thuggish rapper-slash-singer. For someone who seems to have so much disposable income - he boasts on one track about spending "15 grand on a phone" and charged over $500 for meet-and-greets on his last tour - Brown seems utterly adverse to investing in tailoring, combining the worst excesses of XXL sizing with a penchant for deeply unflattering costumes. Here GQ.com presents the evidence of Brown's assorted crimes against fashion since 2005. Sorry "Team Breezy", but you may have to look away now...

The publication then details in pictures what they consider to be Brown's worst outfits.
