Kurupt is once again doing the 'label shuffle'. First he was rolling with the Dogg Pound on Death Row. Then he bounced from Death Row, and went solo and remained a part of DPG. Then last year, he left DPG to go back to The Row. Now, out of frustration and pain, the rapper has left Suge Knight & friends and is back with his original homies at DPG.

Kurupt spoke to SOHH.com this morning about the switch. "I know it seems like I'm a beeyatch going from one clique to the next, but I'm rolling with DPG again. I had to leave for my own personal safety. Suge really let this Simon sh!t get to his head. One day, I went to the studio to listen to the Crooked I album. As soon as I walked in the door, and he [Suge] said 'touch your toes', so I did. As soon as I got up, whap! He snuffed me right in the office and was like 'I didn't say Simon Says'. I went through that everyday, and I got fed up with it."

Kurupt's homie Daz also had some comments to say. "Now that Kurupt is back, DPG is complete. I mean, he's a straight up beeyatch for leaving in the first place, but I knew he'd come to his senses. Here at DPG, we don't play those games like Suge. I mean, every now and then, we'll bust out in a game of freeze tag or man hunt, but we about handling our business."

Ja Rule has turned his attention from Slim Shady's newest signee to Slim himself. On A Warrior's Words, the new mixtape by Murder Inc.'s Black Child, Rule responds to Em's warning of "Ja, you'll get it too" from the Benzino diss track "Go to Sleep."

"Put your mics down, put your guns up," Rule says before rapping his freestyle verse. "What kind of world is this when a snitch gets praise?," Ja asks, talking about 50 Cent. He later calls out Marshall Mathers, saying, "I'm huntin' ya, blondie, with the sawed gauge/ You heard Joe Crack, I'll make ground beef out [of] your baby ... / Em, you know you fear me/ 'Cause I'm clearly the rap game's Jimmy Hoffa."

Unlike the real Hoffa, Ja Rule has been keeping a high profile lately — not only with his own self-promotion, but via 50 Cent's disses. A new 50 duet with Tupac Shakur called "The Realest Killas" recently hit the streets and finds the Billboard chart's top gun attacking what he calls Ja's obsession with being Tupac
