Roc Nation rapper was a huge fan of singer/actress Aaliyah when he was younger.  He recalls being so devastated by her death that he wanted to make a beat in her honor.

"I had such a crush on Aaliyah... It was like a little boy crush but it was a true crush." he says.  "And when she died I remember I called my mentor up like, 'Yo you think it would be corny if I made a beat and I called it Aaliyah?'  That was my way of paying respect in my own little world."

Aaliyah died at age 22 in a plane crash August 25, 2001, but thanks to her great music and fans like J Cole she will never be forgotten.

(CNN) -- The mother of a missing 17-year-old honor student from North Carolina said she was stunned to learn that "20 different guys" passed through the home where the girl was staying and that the girl was allowed to drink alcohol while visiting family in Baltimore.

Phylicia Barnes of Charlotte, North Carolina, has been missing since December 28 after saying she was going out to get something to eat and maybe a haircut, according to Baltimore police. Maryland State Police and the FBI are also participating in the case.

Authorities have said they fear Barnes may have been harmed or abducted. Barnes left her debit card, and her mother said she has not answered her cell phone.

In an interview with HLN's "Nancy Grace" on Friday, Barnes' mother, Janice Sallis, said she spoke with Barnes' oldest half-sister multiple times before allowing Barnes to go to Baltimore.

"She knows how protective I was as her mother. She wasn't allowed to have a boyfriend," Sallis said. "She didn't have men; we didn't have men coming in and out of our environment."

Sallis said she was "stunned" and "devastated" after learning from one of Barnes' siblings that "there was a listing of 20 different guys going in and out" of where Barnes was staying and that her daughter -- who recently turned 17 -- was allowed to drink alcohol.

A Baltimore police spokesman has said more than 100 Baltimore police, Maryland State Police troopers and FBI agents have been working on the case.

Sallis said she had encouraged Barnes to reach out to her siblings on her father's side of the family.

"I encouraged her to go on Facebook to look for them because she hadn't heard from that side of her family, from her father, in over eight years," Sallis said. "And I, as a mother, didn't want my daughter not knowing who her other side of her DNA is. I didn't want her going from man to man looking for her father in relationships, so I encouraged her to look for her half-sisters online and maybe she could find her father that way because she hadn't heard from him in over eight years."

According to police, Barnes communicated through text messages with her half sister about 12:30 p.m. the day she disappeared. The ex-boyfriend of the half-sister was moving out of the apartment and said he saw Barnes on the couch at about 1:30 p.m., but when he came back to the apartment at about 5:10 p.m., Barnes was not there. The door was reportedly unlocked, and the music in the apartment was extremely loud.

Last week, Baltimore police spokesman Anthony J. Guglielmi said the FBI did a profile on the girl and found no reason she would run away. She is a good student with no emotional disturbances in her life, he said.

"The fact set of this case is different than anything else we've seen," he said.

Sallis made an emotional statement to CNN affiliate WBFF about her daughter.

"I want my daughter back," Sallis said. "She doesn't belong to whoever she's with. She doesn't belong with them. They are not her friends, they are not her family, they don't care anything about her. If they did, she wouldn't be where she's at."

Anyone with information on Barnes' disappearance can call 855-223-0033.

When Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West and Pharell Williams formed the supergroup Child Rebel Soldiers (CRS) back in 2007, expectations were high that some very special music would come out of this union.

But here we sit over three years later and the trio has put out very little music aside from 2007's "Us Placers" and the recent G.O.O.D Driday track "Don't Stop" that Lupe says was actually recorded in 2008.

So what exactly is the hold up?

Lupe is pointing the finger at the new album by Jay-Z and Kanye West "Watch The Throne." as the main reason nothing signifigant is happening with CRS.

A new CRS album was supposed to see the light of day in 2010, but that obviously didn't happen. Now Lupe sounds he's starting to doubt there will ever be an album.

"I think the Jay-Z/Kanye collabo kinda was like, 'Aww man, aww no.' Whenever we get to go in (the studio) and have the time and the opportunity to do it, we're always working on some other project. Pharrell gon' do a soundtrack for a movie, Kanye does another project." Lupe said recently.

Hip hop fans can only hope new material surfaces soon for the supergroup.

As a fan what would you rather hear? A CRS album or the forthcoming Jay-Z Kanye disc?

Ex Dipset affiliate Taj Mahal brings the beef to Juelz Santana's front door in this new video and song.

Taj has labeled Juelz a snitch, it will be interesting to see if Juelz's replies,

Besides being a businessman and rapper, Diddy is also a comedian, or at least he was for one night.

The Bad Boy CEO took the stage last night at New York's Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre for his first and probably only comedy  routine.

Comedian and UCB regular Chris Gethard somehow managed to convince Diddy to do the show by basically being a persistent pain in the ass.

Gethard made youtube videos, started a 13 month twitter campaign, and even tracked Diddy down face to face when the star appeared on Saturday Night Live.

“I think it was just his persistence,” Diddy told the New York Times backstage. Explaining why he finally gave in to Mr. Gethard. “I was like, who’s this guy? But I felt his energy and his spirit. I’m supposed to be at the Golden Globes right now, but I’ll just go there a little bit later.”

Diddy admitted to being initially confused by the twitter campaign, which consisted of people constantly tweeting #diddygethard -- a combination of both their last names that spells out diddy get hard.

"I couldn’t understand it," Diddy told  Rolling Stone about the tweets being directed his way. “The way I was pronouncing it... I didn’t know if it was a sexual thing. I kept seeing it retweeted. And I was like, What the fuck?"

It turned out to be a fun night for everyone involved.

Diddy, who brought his son Justin along with him, participated in a few improv skits then jetted off into the New York night.

BETHANY, Okla. -- Police in Bethany continue to investigate a weekend homicide in which a man is accused of fatally stabbing his wife of nearly 30 years.

Bethany Police Chief Phil Cole says since 58-year-old Reginald Bartlett's attack was not premeditated, he was booked on second degree murder charges.

Not even Barlett's own son saw this attack coming.

"I know he loved her and I know she loved him very much," Devin Bartlett said Monday, "and I will never understand what happened. I don't think anybody can."

Devin says he can't comprehend why his father would have murdered his stepmother, Cathy Bartlett, at their Bethany home on Saturday.

In fact, he says he's never seen his dad lose his temper.

"I will tell him that I don't understand what happened and I'm very angry and very hurt that it happened," Devin says. "But I also will tell him that his family will be here for him."

It was about 6:30 p.m. Saturday when Bethany Police say Reginald Bartlett call 911, saying he came home to find his wife dead following a burglary.

In that 911 call, police say Bartlett can be heard saying "Somebody broke in. They killed her. Oh God. I've been at the basketball game. Oh God. Please hurry."

Police found Cathy Bartlett dead in their home from numerous stab wounds.

After three hours of questioning, they say Reginald confessed to the killing.

A Bethany Police affidavit states "He (Bartlett) stated Cathy came into the computer room, where he had been looking at pornography, and began yelling at him about a bank statement and thought he was ordering pornography. Reginald stated Cathy had slapped him on the side of the head, at which time he 'snapped.' He added he grabbed a knife and began stabbing her."

Judy Thomas worked with Cathy for over 20 years at the Department of Human Services and never heard a single problem about their marriage.

"I just don't understand that kind of anger," Thomas says, "because he didn't seem mean to me. He didn't have a mean spirit. You know, some people you can see it? I've never ever saw that in him."

"I don't know that I could've done anything to have stopped whatever occurred from happening," Devin Bartlett says, "but that's one thing I'll never know the answer to."

Police say Bartlett, who was a water treatment plant supervisor for the city of Bethany, confessed to throwing their computer and the murder weapon into a nearby lake.

The couple would have celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary on January 31.

Charges are expected to be filed at the Oklahoma County Courthouse in the next week

Well damn, some people just don't have a sense of humor.

Kanye West and Jay-Z's new single "H.A.M"  from their upcoming album 'Watch The Throne' shot to number 2 on iTunes just days after it's release. It sits just behind Britney Spears latest song "Hold It Against Me."

Kanye joked around with Spears by tweeting her the "i'mma let you finish" line made famous when he interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the 2009 VMA's.

Apparently some Britney Spears fans didn't get the joke.

Her manager Adam Leber sarcastically tweeted back, "Thanks for "letting" us be #1. Much appreciated..."

West eventually took down the tweet, but not before wondering why people don't seem to have a sense of humor when it involves him.

"On a serious note I'm truly happy for @AvrilLavigne and @BritneySpears... No hate in 2011. I thought LOL signified a joke... I didn't get the 2011 LOL doesn't signify a joke anymore memo... LOL or something else I guess," Yeezy tweeted.

Seriously people need to lighten up.

On a lighter note, Kanye just treated himself to a brand new $180,000 Tiret watch this week. The one-of-a-kind design features the star’s likeness on the dial in over eight carats of yellow, black, brown and white diamonds.

FAST FACTS:
*Approximately 90 students at Frayser High School are pregnant or have recently given birth

*The startling numbers fall in line with high teen pregnancy rates in the entire Frayser community

*A new initiative to help combat the problem will soon be introduced

About 90 students at a Memphis High School are either pregnant, or have been recently.

The startling news was confirmed by a high ranking city official and comes as the community plans to roll out a new initiative to help combat the problem.

However, one Frayser High School graduate says teen pregnancy is not a new problem for the school.

"When we would come back from summer break, there would be a thousand people pregnant. We were like, what's going on?" joked Alicia Williamson, who graduated from Frayser in 2004.

"There were a whole lot of bellies. You had to watch out so you didn't bump into them. Being 2011, I thought a lot of them would have thought this is not the right way to go, having babies during school time," she added.

The organization, Girls, Inc. teaches girls about preventing pregnancy.

Deborah Hester Harrison, who heads the organization, says Memphis' teen pregnancy rate stands at between 15 and 20 percent, almost twice the national average.

In the Frayser zip code, the rate is about 26 percent. Harrison partly blames the media.

"So much of our society is sexually oriented. As adults we can look at that and it doesn't impact us, but kids are different," Harrison said.

It's why Girls, Inc. offers classes where teenage girls "care for" computerized babies to give them a feel for what teenage parenthood is like.

The organization will also be part of a new initiative tentatively scheduled to be introduced next week.

The based god has officially planted roots in New York City.

Lil B played his second sold out show in New York in the last several months. The West Coast rapper packed Santos Party House back in July.  Last night he had the Highline Ballroom rocking.

This wasn't a concert, it was more like king being welcomed home. This man's fans are beyond dedicated.

One fan offered to let Lil B f*ck his mom, and for that he was knighted by the based god.

Another fan literally gave B his woman to do whatever he pleases.

"He kissed my b*tch on stage, I'mma let him f*ck her tonight," said the fan. "You can f*ck my mom, my sister, I love you son. Peace to the world.......swag."

What in the hell is going on? This isn't a movement, it's a cult! Hip Hop's 1st cult, lol.

I can't do anything but congratulate Lil B though, hating would be uncivilized.
