Allegedly in a recent interview conducted with The Ave Magazine, Jadakiss stated he would battle 50 Cent in Las Vegas for $1 million dollars. Kiss would want the battle to be broadcasted via Pay-Per View and has even said Jay-Z and Dr. Dre could be judges. SOHH.com contacted The Ave's Editor-in-Chief Anslem Samuel who refuted this claim stating, "Not us, man. We ain't do anything on Jada since the Sharpton issue."

A peculiar two-way message has been circling the Net supposedly from West Coast underground king JT the Bigga Figga to Compton rapper Game. Looks like JT took exception to Game's recent comments in XXL Magazine that he receives 75 percent of profits from his pre-Aftermath/G-Unit recordings JT on Get Low Records. The message read:

"I guess you got what you wanted, to be the West Coast 50 Cent, get in and cross the ni99az that rode for you. Loyalty is priceless, ni99az would of loved to be in yo slot for the West but you the WORST AND DUMBEST ni99a To represent us EVER!!!!!!!!!! I'm glad I cashed out and yo 75% is still there at Koch, yeah right, lol! You probably got 15% waiting cause I'm a real ni99a, tell XXL that!"
In the alleged two-way,JT also emphasizes, "I never asked to be down with you or wait for you to put me on, I put myself on, slave, I make more off you than you make off yourself." In his last line, JT gives a parting shot, "I get the last laugh. I'm on my way to NYC today to f#@$ wit BUCK, yo G-Unit potna. Hahahaha, we got planz for you." JT signs off with, "GET LOW RECORDS / G UNIT SOUTH Presents YOUNG BUCK " on The Road 2 Platinum DVD hosted by JT BIGGA FIGGA. Coming soon."

Both Cease and Banger were subpoenaed and granted immunity for their testimonies about Kim, regarding the 2001 shooting outside New York's Hot 97. Featured on SOHH.com, Banger and Cease defended themselves. Lil Cease stated, "None of us was there on our own behalf, we got subpoenaed. And this not the state police, this is the federal government." Banger continued, "You got to show up or you get locked up. The government called in everybody involved in the case, not just us, but 35 different people..." Cease concluded, "She did that to herself...If 35 people went in there and said one thing, but she said something else, that's on her."

Word is Tommy Mottola, owner of Casablanca Records, reached out to Jay-Z to help Cory Gunz with his debut. Corey Gunz has been following in the footsteps of his dad Peter Gunz ripping up mixtapes with countless freestyles. Corey was slated for a May release date, but rumors say that was too soon for Hova. Hova wanted more time to work with the young gun on fresh material.

Jay-Z is presently in talks to create music for a highly anticipated Scarface video game and has just signed his second act to Island Def Jam.

Word is Hov recently met with Vivendi Universal Games executives to discuss a deal to produce the video game's music and feature Def Jam artists. There's also negotiations regarding a possible Scarface soundtrack.

The game will be based on Brian DePalma's 1983 flick starring Al Pacino and is set to launch this fall. Electronic Arts is scheduled to release The Godfather video game around the same time. Def Jam has long been involved with video games. To date, Electronic Arts has released two installments of Def Jam Vendetta -a fighting game featuring Def Jam artists and other Hip-Hop superstars as street fighters.

While Pacino's character, drug lord Tony Montana, gets killed in the movie, game users will get to play the gun-toting Montana as he strives to rebuild his drug operation in the game. There's no word on whether Pacino will lend his voice to the game's lead character.

In related news, Jay-Z has recently signed his second act since becoming president of Island Def Jam. After winning two Fight Klub battles worth over $30,000 dollars, New Jersey-bred Sam Scarfo recently inked with Def Jam and is expected to release an album in 2005. Scarfo now becomes the second artist to be signed by Hov following Foxy Brown's signing earlier this year

The FBI’s investigation into the 1997 murder of the Notorious B.I.G. has come to a close according to a report published today by the Los Angeles Times.

Federal prosecutors reviewed the case and came to the conclusion that there was not enough evidence to prosecute anyone for the brazen shooting, which occurred as a crowded party was letting out the Petersen Auto Museum. The event was an after party for the 1997 Vibe Awards.

The FBI ended the probe in January, after they abandoned the theory that David Mack, a former policeman for the LAPD, may have helped Marion “Suge” Knight orchestrate the murder.

An FBI agent, Philip J. Carson, had been subpoenaed to testify in Wallace’s wrongful death lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles, which is slated to take place on April 12 in a Los Angeles federal court.

The FBI ended the case and told lawyers for Voletta Wallace, Biggie's mother, that Philip J. Carson will not testify in the case and ordered Carson to end his contact with the Wallace’s lawyers.

The head of the criminal division of the FBI said that they closed Carson’s investigation simply because there was not enough evidence.

Wallace’s attorney Perry Sanders discounted the FBI’s explanation and said that credible sources revealed that the LAPD "exerted political pressure on the FBI to lay off the case."

The FBI denied Sanders’ statements.

"No one at the FBI was asked or directed to stop anything," Assistant FBI Director Richard T. Garcia told the LA Times. "This investigation was reviewed diligently by [Carson's] boss on a regular basis and the results were submitted to the U.S. attorney's office. They determined that the evidence was insufficient for prosecution. So we dropped it."

The bureau has been stumped by the murders of Tupac Shakur, who was gunned down in 1996 on the main strip of Las Vegas after a Mike Tyson boxing match and the murder of B.I.G., who was shot down six months later in front of hundreds of people.

Police believed that the murders were the result of a bitter feud between Sean “P. Diddy” Combs’ Bad Boy label and Marion “Suge” Knight’s Death Row Records imprint.

Sources told the LA Times that Carson may have been influenced by Wallace’s lawyers and that his contacts with the attorneys could embarrass the FBI.

Carson maintains that he was never influenced by the lawyers, nor did he share information.

The news comes on the heels of a Newsweek report that suggested the murders of Shakur and Wallace were part of a purported sweeping federal probe into the hip-hop industry.
