Prison is the last place anyone wants to end up. Some use their time wisely though, and come out a much better and focused individual than when they went in.

That's apparently what happened to Lil Wayne. According to Cash Money head honcho, Bryan "Baby" Williams, the world is about to witness a whole new Weezy on his future recordings.

"He brings a different swagger when he steps in the room. He is the definition of hard work. Doing time played a major part [in his rapping]. It gives us a different outlook as a team. He's rapping better than ever before -- it's magic. It's a different energy, its like we feel brand new again," Stunna told Boombox

Of course, this could be a bunch of hype from Stunna to get people excited about Wayne's upcoming album 'Tha Carter IV.' Birdman knows a thing or two about selling records. But it's possible, having his freedom taken away has lit a fire under Lil Wayne, who was already known to be a work-a-holic. Birdman certainly thinks so.

"Everybody knows Wayne's home so you know how this sh*t is going down. He's been gone and he's back so it just feels different but it's a good feeling. When I watch him work, it just feels like we just started this s---. That's always been our motivation anyway, to stay fresh," so says Stunna..

Expect a new single to drop for 'Tha Carter IV' within the next several weeks. The album is due 1st quarter of 2011.

Various media reports are saying that the Queen Of Soul, Aretha Franklin is battling pancreatic cancer.

Franklin underwent surgery last week, her rep told The Hollywood Reporter that it went well.

"The doctors said the surgery went well and that every one is praying for the best," the rep told THR without specifying her illness.

Pancreatic cancer claimed the lives of Patrick Swayze and Michael Landon, the survival rate from this form of cancer is low.

Dr. H. Leon Pachter, chairman of surgery at New York University Langone Medical Center told CBS News that the diagnosis is terrible news for Franklin. "It's a grim diagnosis, overall, the five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer patients is 35 percent," Pachter said.

Despite the reports, those around the singer remain optimistic.

Her cousin Brenda Corbett told the Detroit Free Press that the 68-year old Franklin "was in good spirits" and "doing really good."

Although the cases are rare, some patients have responded well to treatment. Dr Pachter says, "an individual is not a statistic." He added that some of his patients have survived more than a decade.

Let's hope and pray for the best in this situation.

Philadelphia (CNN) -- It's pretty clear from his hard-hitting lyrics that Philadelphia rapper Freeway is no stranger to street life.

He lost a cousin and close friend to gun violence. He's also had his own run-ins with the law, having served jail time for drug possession.

His experiences haven't left him jaded, though. When the devout Muslim heard about a violent uprising at South Philadelphia High School last year, he got involved.

"I'm from where they're from," said Freeway, whose real name is Leslie Pridgen. "I can talk about those experiences [on the street], but I am a businessman now. I wouldn't take nothing back. It's shaped me as a man."

On December 3, 2009, as many as 30 Asian immigrant students were attacked throughout the school day, several of whom were sent to the hospital.

Since then, Freeway has been working with nonviolence campaigns at several high schools in Philadelphia. In October, he traveled around the city aboard MTV's "Get Schooled" bus with Grammy winner Common and Marsha Ambrosius of Floetry fame. The goal was to inspire students to stay in school and raise awareness about staggering dropout rates.

Freeway, along with his fellow Philadelphia rapper Young Chris, will be performing Thursday at South Philly High.

"Who better to talk than people who grew up in Philly and did something positive with life? I was subject to the same things they were," said Freeway, who originally signed with Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella Records, and is now with Rhymesayers Entertainment.

"I'm going to speak from the heart, but it's up to them to make the choice."

Who better to talk than people who grew up in Philly and did something positive with life?

Young Chris, born Christopher Riesm, said he was also "shocked and disappointed" when he heard about last year's incident at South Philly High. He says he's participating in the rally to encourage the students to keep the momentum.

"Whether we want to believe it or not, they look at us as mentors," he said.

The event is part of the Project Succeed Campaign unveiled by state Rep. Kenyatta Johnson, D-Philadelphia, in October.

Event organizers wanted a concert for the student rally but had concerns about booking rap artists.

Rhymes laced with drug and gang references, and verses peppered with the "n-word," left them skeptical, according to Johnson's spokeswoman, Shalimar Blakely.

They voiced their concerns with the managers for Freeway and Young Chris, and Blakely said she was encouraged not to hold all the lyrics against the performers.

"They may speak about violence and their experience in the streets, but this is what these kids relate to," Blakely said. "The reality is violence is not the thing to do. And they're coming to tell them that."

Keri Hilson is out on the talk show circuit promoting her upcoming album 'No Boys Allowed.'

She made her way to the always entertaining Chelsea Lately Show yesterday, to talk about what she's been up to.

The singer revealed she has a few things in common with the Kardashian sisters, has some pretty good hoop skills, although she lost $16,000 in a pick up game against one of R. Kelly's friends.

She also talked about her recent collaboration with Sugarland at the VH1 Divas: Salute To The Troops show and why she wont date rappers.

"When you mix a man who has popularity, who has money, who has b*tches. That's a scary thing for me," Keri said. "I don't think it speaks to my insecurities. That's just not the type of man I want, and I think I'm not the type of girl they want. I have a brain, I'm a little more than they bargained for."

The I won't date rapper because "I have a brain" statement kind of seemed like a diss towards Chelsea, who has been romantically linked to 50 Cent.

Keri should choose her words more wisely during interviews.

Being a white rapper in an art form created by and dominated by African Americans, can't be an easy thing. But if you stay true to the music and respect the culture you can do it, Eminem has proven that.

Yelawolf is succeeding in making his mark because he has shown that respect, and also because he's extremely talented.

The Alabama rapper talked to XXL about "Being A White MC in 2010."

"I could go to the projects, I could go to the hood because I respected the people, and I understood an element of that struggle in a different way," Yela says. "But I can still go to the trailer parks, I can go to the apartments, I can go to the country and just kick it with country folks. I've been blessed to have experienced a lot and that will translate as time goes on."

It's crazy to think that in 2010, there's still racism, people still look at you and assess who they think you are and what you're about in just a few seconds, without ever having spoken with you.

The same rules apply to music...Yela says it's something you just have to deal with.

"People are still judging... I see on twitter all the time 'this white boy this, this white boy that', and they're not even giving the music a chance," Yela explains. "And on the flip side, I met someone last night who had Trunk Muzik 0-60 [his new album]. Somehow without an artwork, somehow had never seen a picture of me. 'Oh my God I didn't know you was white man, that's crazy what the f*ck.' I don't know how in this day and age. I think it says a lot about my music. It says a lot about that person too. But to me I make music. I respect black culture. At the end of the day this is black music. And it's American black music."

It's become very popular for anyone to say the word n*gga now. People of all races use the word. Not just to describe black people, but also amongst themselves. It's as if the word is just a cool thing to use in some circles.

Yelawolf thinks white people should stop using it... period.

"Don't drop the N-bomb - white boys out there dropping the N-bomb just stop please. You'll never ever, ever, ever be able to say it. It's never gonna be cool, just stop. Don't drop it in your music, don't drop it around people, don't drop it to me on Twitter. I see these white boys on twitter dropping the N-bomb. I'm like 'dude I'm not even going to respond to you', you're never that cool.

Video After The Jump Oprah Winfrey has been dogged by rumors that she has been having a lesbian affair witth her best friend Gayle King for years. In an interview with Barbara Walters, the talk show host gets very emotional while describing her relationship with Gayle. "She is the mother I never had. She is ... the sister everybody would want. She is the friend that everybody deserves. I don't know a better person," Oprah says as tears begin to flow. Barbara asks why is it making her cry to talk about it. "It's making me cry because I'm thinking about how much I never told her that," Oprah replies. Barbara then asks about the rumors that she and Gayle are gay. "Well I have said that we are not gay enough times. I'm not lesbian, I'm not even kind of lesbian. And the reason why it irritates me is because it means that somebody must think I'm lying. That's number one. Number two ... why would you want to hide it? That is not the way I run my life."

The full interview airs Thursday December 9 at 9:00 PM EST on ABC. twitter-5d.gif

Video After The Jump Boxing fans love to debate which fighter is the greatest of all time. In such debates, people generally up end going old school vs new school. For most though, Muhammad Ali has been considered the greatest and most well known boxer of all time. Manny Pacquiao's advisor Michael Koncz doesn't think that is the case anymore. At least not when it comes to popularity. He tells reporter Elie Seckbach that Pac Man is now the biggest name boxing has ever seen. "I think it's all the things we've been doing. 60 Minutes programs, you know - 24-7 again. It's put him into that category of a rock star," Koncz said "I think he's one of the most popular boxers ever, even more than Ali. You gotta remember Muhammad Ali, and he was my favorite boxer. He never became world wide famous until the draft issue, it wasn't because of his boxing. [Ali was convicted for refusing induction into the military]. And I think that's what's happening to Manny too. Like I said with 60 Minutes, the Dateline show that we did, the Jimmy Kimmel show that we did twice. We're taking him out of the boxing circle and putting him into the household." Koncz makes some interesting points, but Ali became worldwide famous without the internet, pay-per-view, Showtime and HBO. I think that's a really hard comparison to make. In other Pacquiao news, it's looking more and more likely that his next opponent will be either Sugar Shane Mosely or Andre Berto. Juan Manuel Marquez was also in the running, but promotor Bob Arum said his asking price was way too high. “Marquez's proposal was so out of line for anything that he got before… I don't think Manny is going to pay any attention to it,” Arum said in an interview with FanHouse.com On the possibility of Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Pacquiao, it doesn't look like that fight will happen until at least the end of 2011, if at all. Oscar De La Hoya of Floyd's promotion team Golden Boy is accusing Arum of ducking his fighter. Arum is calling bullsh*t on that accusation. "That's totally nonsense because you can argue over the first situation, the first go around. They had one position, we had another. But on the second go around we gave in to every one of their positions. We were so anxious to make the fight and Mayweather didn't want to fight," Arum said "And even today we will do the fight unconditionally, unconditionally! And all Mayweather has to do is say ('yes') he wants the fight." So our poll for today is, who is the greatest fighter of all time? Use whatever criteria you want to - popularity, pay-per-view buys etc But the most important thing in determining the greatest is boxing skills.

Video After The Jump In probably his last interview before he reports to a federal prison for three years, Wesley Snipes sat down with Larry King. Snipes was convicted of failure to file taxes in 1999, 2000 and 2001, a misdemeanor. He is scheduled to report to McKean Federal Correctional Institution on Thursday to begin his sentence. The 48-year old actor told Larry that he felt he was being made an example of by the judge and prosecutors in the case. He explained that his financial advisors were given power of attorney, in order to handle his taxes for him. Prosecutors said Snipes earned $40 million since 1999 but had filed no returns and had been involved in a tax resisters group "This is another thing that has been misreported. It has been framed that I was a conspirator and that I was an architect in a scheme by an organization that has been characterized as tax protesters. The press hasn't reported that I was a client of people who I trusted [who] had knowledge and expertise in the areas of tax law that would protect my interests," Snipes said. Frank Tuttle, who served as a juror in Snipes' trial, told CNN that several jurors had already made their minds up that the actor was guilty before the trial even began. "There was one juror that said they knew Mr Snipes was guilty when they saw him during jury selection. I told the juror that was not right, and it went against what the judge had told us before the trial was to begin. Two others then agreed, and said that they thought he was guilty when they first saw him, before the trial began. We were deadlocked on our decision about Mr Snipes before this happened. I was not expecting to hear that from a juror and most jurors felt the same. That's when a deal was made to find him guilty on the failure to file taxes [a misdemeanor]. And not the federal tax evasion charge. We did not think he would go to jail." Tuttle stated. Snipes became a household name by starring in the films, New Jack City, White Men Can't Jump and Blade. His only hope of avoiding jail tme is a last minute reprieve by the Supreme Court. twitter-5d.gif

Video After The Jump Young Money artist Bow Wow has seen his name tied to a couple of negative internet rumors recently. One, is that he is going to commit suicide soon, after tweets he made saying he would be better off dead. The other is the rumor that he is somehow linked to the B2K, Raz B, Marques Houston homosexual molestation drama. Bow sat down with Angie Ange of 93.9 WKYS to clear things up. Is he suicidal? Bow: You know what it is? You seen that movie with Macaulay Culkin - you seen Richie Rich before? Remember when he went to the baseball park, and he saw all the kids in the park? And the kids look at him like 'yo you got a mansion, and an amusement park.' He don't care about that, cuz that's all he knows. That's similar with me, it's the same story, it's all I know is the business. I aint had time to go play football, or do none of the regular stuff. So it's kind of like at times it haunts you. I'm unbalanced because I've only seen one side of life. So, it's like I didn't really mean it like 'yo I'm about to kill myself right now.' I wonder when I'll ever get peace, I guess I'll get it when I'm dead. What was the Kat Stacks situation like, the things she was saying about him? Bow: It's easy to deal with something that never happened. I've been in the game long enough, I'm a vet. I done heard it all, done it all. I can't handle shorty if she got a kid and gotta lie on rappers.. What about the Raz B situation? Bow: A lot of these young cats have no guidance. They wasn't surrounded by official dudes who got that respect. It all starts with your camp and who you run with. Me it was a different story, so I aint got them problems. I was around some OG's in the game, whether it was Snoop, who discovered me, then Jermaine [Dupri] and now Stunna. So I aint around no suckas, I never been around no suckas. If you got some squares in your camp then you gotta get rid of that. I feel sorry for dude, I feel like it's a better way he could probably go about his situation. If it's that serious, then it's a better way you can handle that twitter-5d.gif
