Man it wasn't even boring, it was just BAD. I mean, it was ridiculous just how bad it was, worst performances I've ever seen by someone who supposed to be a serious artist.

fter performing at Sunday’s VMAs, Lupe Fiasco spoke to Rap-Up.com about his third and possibly final studio album, L.U.P.N., due in stores by the end of 2009. “I just don’t really feel like rapping anymore,” Lupe admitted. “I’m going to write a book and put out [other artists’] albums like Matthew Santos.” Sadly, he stands by his word and claims it’s not another Jay-Z episode. The “Superstar” rapper says he hasn’t even started recording the new album yet. He will begin work next year.

Damn man, Nate Dogg suffered another stroke

Quote:

Recently, reports arose that Hip Hop legend Nate Dogg suffered a second stroke in less than a year. Now, TMZ.com is reporting that the singer known for being rappers' go to hook man is in stable condition. Reportedly, Nate Dogg is using an assisted breathing tube. The tube is apparently not essential, but makes breathing easier. Fortunately for the West Coast native, he did not suffer any brain damage, contrary to other reports. It is unclear at the moment whether or not the stroke will impact him physically in any way; however, there is not much movement below his neck at this time, reports say. HipHopDX.com wishes Nate Dogg a speedy recovery. More on this story as it develops. hiphopdx.com

The shroud of secrecy around Eminem’s forthcoming album was somewhat lifted yesterday, as label mate 50 Cent revealed the reclusive Detroit MC was hard at work on his sixth solo album. Rumored to be titled King Mathers, 50 explained in reports that Eminem will commence with the project’s media campaign in next few months. “You’ll be seeing him shortly. He’s working,” 50 told U.K.’s ITN News during a red carpet interview. “Even though he tries to relax and stay home it’s impossible for him to stay in.” Fans expected the album’s release earlier this year after Dr. Dre disclosed to the Los Angeles Times in September 2007, that he was devoting two months exclusively to Eminem’s project. Also increasing fan interest was T.I. revealing he worked with Em on a highly creative track pitting the alter egos Slim Shady and T.I.P. against each other. However the biggest news was the Detroit superstar’s first collaboration with legendary board smith DJ Premier, who in April confirmed completion of a track entitled “Keys to the City.” Unfortunately, according to 50 all these songs may never see the light of day due to Eminem’s perfectionist ways. “A lot of material he wrote prior to this is being scrapped,” 50 admitted. “He’s got to feel like it’s just happened, it’s new and it’s current. That’s just how he is creatively as an artist.” To date, the only confirmed guest for Eminem’s still officially untitled sixth album is 50 Cent. At press time, the album is still tentatively planned for release by December 2008.
