Rick Ross ft. Dr. Dre & Jay – Z – 3 Kings
So he JFK, Joined Forces With the Kings. Rick Ross warned us in “Free Mason” years ago that he was able to pull together collaborations of a royal magnitude. “3 Kings” is no different. Dr. Dre and Jay-Z came together with the Don to produce what is sure to be a hit.
Hit The Jump to Read the Makings of the Music.
We can thank a friend of Rick Ross for linking him up with Dr. Dre. Here’s who Rozay said it happened.
“I actually spoke with D.O.C. from the West Coast and D.O.C. told me Dre was a huge fan. I’ve been a fan of big homie’s and I had been expressing that openly for while.I got on the phone with Dre, he kept his word, he came down to Miami. When he walked into the studio for the first time, I was just so excited. We knocked out five songs that first night. I feel we made some incredible music.”
Ross said he learned a lot from Dre and that he admires him. Jay-Z was originally supposed to be on another song on “God Forgives, I Don’t,” but once Ross came up with the idea for all 3 of these gentlemen to be on one song, he knew he had to make it happen.
“When it comes to Jay, that’s my family. I respect dawg. I’m a soldier for life.”
He also had some very BOSS words to say about his upcoming album, “God Forgives, I Don’t.”
“That’s just one of many. God Forgives, I Don’t is the biggest and best album of the year. Whoever would have imagined East Coast, West Coast, Down South on one album? That’s what it’s about in hip-hop. That’s what the culture is about. That’s what the boss brings you.”

Swizz Beatz Is Target of Legal Battle Over MegaUpload
It appears that Swizz Beatz’s alleged former position as an executive at what is now the defunct file storage site MegaUpload has gotten him in a little legal trouble. When the suit was first filed, MegaUpload attempted to have it dismissed on the grounds “that they are a foreign corporation and cannot be prosecuted in America.” However, the federal authorities have bounced back with a 20-page motion which cites US Citizens David Robb and Kasseem Dean (Swizz Beatz).
Hit the Jump to Read More.
Swizz is being pursued because of beliefs that at some time, he was acting CEO of the company which his attorney says are false. Here is part of the motion itself:
“After Defendant Dotcom became Defendant Megaupload’s Chief Innovation Officer, the company appears to have employed at least two Chief Executive Officers in the United States: first David Robb and then Kasseem David Dean (also known as Swizz Beatz). These individuals represented the company before the Office of the United States Trade Representative (“USTR”) in relation to Megaupload.com’s inclusion on the Notorious Markets Review, and more recently, Mr. Dean through counsel has refused to cooperate with the government’s investigation. Delivering a summons to Mr. Dean, a resident of the United States, in his capacity as apparent Chief Executive Officer should also constitute proper service of process upon an officer of the company.”We wish Swizz the best in this situation.

Chris Brown Splits with Karrueche Tran and Deletes All Photos
Can everyone turn down the music? We don’t think it’s quite appropriate at this time. Rumors have surfaced that Chris Brown and girlfriend Karrueche Tran have split. The reason seems to be that Karrueche had contact with his current rival Drake. Hit the jump to view more of the story!
While it was nothing sexual, it was business talks and obviously enough to make Brown was to sever all ties. To make things worse, Chris even deleted all photos of the two pictured together on his social media properties. Not one photo was to be found of the couple, unless you search on Google Images. While there is no official confirmation of the two splitting, we do wish them both the best of luck to fixing things.
As a sidenote, many people have been suspecting the couple hasn’t been so happy. With recent photos surfacing of the pair shopping and being so distant towards each other, it might be safe to call it an end. There have also been the long-lived rumors of Chris and ex-girlfriend Rihanna seeing each other privately. Too much is going on!
