One of the pioneers of the West Coast's g-funk sound has passed away.
According to the Long Beach Press-Telegram, 41-year old Nathanial Hale aka Nate Dogg has died from complications from multiple strokes..
The singer had suffered 2 strokes in the last several years. Last year Warren G made a video plea to fans asking for financial support for Nate.
Nate came into the game during the Death Row Records era with Snoop Dogg, Warren G and Tha Dogg Pound. Although he had several solo albums Nate will be most remembered for singing hooks and ushering the g-funk era when he and Warren-G dropped "Regulate".

Rihanna found a way to turn a horrible situation into a positive and she's more than willing to talk about it.
In the new issue of Vogue, Riri rehashes the Chris Brown assault situation, saying it gave he music an edge.
"It actually gave me a lot of liberation. What I mean is, I was able to tap into the personal part of my music. I started to tell stories through my music that were actually my stories.
"My album before that, there was still a little bit of protection, there was still an innocence to me. And what that time in my life did was kind of wake people up - it's not all a bed of roses. My life is like yours.
"It made me look at the world in a much bigger way because my life was suddenly superduper magnified; all eyes were on me. I needed that in my life to know how to say, 'F**k off!' To know how to keep my head high even in the worst of situations. I keep using the word unapologetic, but there's a freedom that has come with all of that. Where you feel like you don't have to make an excuse for being yourself."
In other Rihanna news, the singer has been rumored to be on a list of singers/actresses for 'The Bodyguard' remake.

For a man who just pulled his career back from the brink of oblivion with mixtapes, the chance to drop a brand new official album must be a good feeling.
It's a feeling Chris Brown plans to hold onto all of 2011.
The 21-year old announced yesterday (March 14) at a listening party in L.A. that he would be putting out 2 'F.A.M.E.' albums this year according to The Boombox
"[This] is the first part of the 'F.A.M.E.' album," Chris announced. "I'm coming out with another album six months later."
A lot of artists attempt to put out 2 albums in one year, but it's difficult task on a major label. I think Chris's sequel disc will hinge on how the initial cd does retail wise.

After inking a North American distribution deal through EMI last year, this was the next logical step says Nikki Martin, Vice President of G-Unit Records and Entertainment.
"Last year we took the decision to restructure the label and begin to carve out it's own world-wide distribution, marketing and promotions strategy," Martin said. “After signing with EMI for North America we looked at who could help develop the brand in other key territories and we decided to partner with PIAS who shared our vision and passion for the music."
The PIAS group is headquartered in Brussels and has local offices in the UK, Germany, The Netherlands, France and Spain.

Usher's not too recent past may be coming back to haunt him.
There's a reported sex tape being shopped around Hollywood, featuring the R&B singer and ex wife Tameka Foster.
Having viewed a couple of scenes from the skin flick, TMZ is confirming that it's authentic and that the two are both "givers."
Neither Usher or Tameka have commented since this information leaked. I would imagine Usher is scrambling to stop the tape from coming out. He and Tameka have 2 kids together, plus he has a good image to uphold.
Hard to imagine some porn company won't pay for this though and mass produce it.

Zuffa, the parent company who owns UFC, bought Strikeforce, the UFC's biggest competitor. This isn't their first acquisition, as Zuffa purchased and absorbed Pride Fighting Championships as well as World Extreme Cagefighting. However, the plan is to continue operating as two, separate promotions.
UFC president Dana White did an extensive interview with MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani on the subject.
White mentions several times that business will continue as usual. That means that Strikeforce's April 9 event will go on without any changes. Much like before the WEC merged with the UFC, fighters won't fight for both promotions, and Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker will continue to run that promotion.
Strikeforce has contracts with Showtime to provide fights. White has mocked Showtime's involvement in MMA, and has contentious relationships with Strikeforce fighters like Paul Daley and Josh Barnett, as well as other employees like commentator Frank Shamrock. Because of that, White says he doubts that he will visit a Strikeforce show any time soon. He also has kept his hard line against co-promoting shows, so don't expect to see Fedor Emelianenko in the Octagon. The Russian superstar only appears at shows co-promoted by his company, M-1, and that stance isn't likely to change.
It's too early to say exactly what this means for MMA's future, but rest assured that it's a game changer. Things changed so quickly that just hours after the story broke, the UFC's official twitter promoted that tickets were on sale for Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley.

When Yelawolf talks about his crew being the best, that's classic hip hop right there.
That's throwing down the gauntlet right off the bat, letting other n*ggas know they really don't want it. Is he right though?
"There might be some underground crews that are coming close, but these dudes don't want it man," Yelawolf says "Artistically and creativlely, we got the hardest crew."
The 2.0 crew of Yelawolf, Slaughterhouse (Royce Da 5'9, Joe Budden, Crooked I, Joell Ortiz) and Eminem are formidable, but there are other really good crews out there.
G-Unit, D-Block, The Diplomats, 1017 Brick Squad, Young Money, Militia, G.O.O.D Music, Square Off are just a few off the top.
What crews do you think could go toe to toe with Yela and company in a battle?

On one side you have billionaire owners guarding their pots of gold like greedy leprechauns. On the flip side there are spoiled NFL players who make way too much money in the first place.
As you may have heard, the owners locked the players out yesterday (February 11) after the two sides failed to agree on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement.
The players then decertified their union, with Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and 7 others filing a class acition lawsuit.
That these 2 sides couldn't figure out how to split up $9 billion dollars makes you wonder why we're so fascinated with sports in the first place. It's obviously a big money grab with little or no thought given to how the fans feel.
Think I'm wrong? Just wait until the NBA goes through the same thing in July when their CBA expires.
Both sides are blaming each other in this NFL owners vs the players mess
"We know that you want football. You will have football. This will be resolved," the league said in a statement.
The NFL Players Union boss DeMaurice Smith didn't sound as sure.
"I would dare any one of you to pull out any economic indicator that would suggest that the National Football League is falling on hard times," Smith said. "The last 14 days, the National Football League has said, 'Trust us.' But when it came time for verification, they told us it was none of our business."
