The straight dope on what's going on in Hip-Hop, Media and Entertainment

Oct 25, 2002

Missy & Eve are reportedly set to begin recording a female version of Best of Both Worlds in February 2003. Rumor has it they plan on giving all profits to charity.

Jay-Z's first double Cd The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse will include 20 tracks and 8 bonus tracks, and remain scheduled for a September 2002 release date.

In a related story, Nas, Mr. "Let's release our albums on the same day and let the people decide who's the best" has pushed back the release date of his God's Son to December 2002.

Nas was also recently on MTV complaining how too many hip hop artists are doing R&B songs. He states, "It's fourth quarter and everybody has an R&B record. They're lying, sellin' out hip hop music with R&B records."

(After seing Nas dancin' with Ja Rule & Ashanti and the video for the Pledge remix, an obvious R&B track, I can't help but feel Nas is the now either the biggest hypocrite in hip hop's present day or completely insane)
