Back to Attack







Is rap artist Joe Budden dissing or simply throwing a challenge to rapper Method Man in a new song or not? Joe Budden, who has been involved in a mix of controversial trade of words and interviews stemming back to his comments about being able to beat Method Man lyrically, can be heard rapping on a new song freestyled over top of Jay-Z’s D.O.A. (Death of Autotune) and many blogs and sites are claiming the song is possibly a diss aimed at Wu-Tang hip hop artist Method Man.“I will cut that dude’s head off his shoulders…,” Budden stated in a phone interview on the Ed Lover Show, as reported on HipHopRX.com back on last month.
The comments were later followed by Method Man calling in with his response stating he wasn’t a battle rapper, but he’d gladly handle it face-to-face physically or lyrically.
“He’s a battle rapper. I ain’t never been known for battle rapping. But I tell you this, I meet any challenge from any challenger,” stated Method Man.
Well now the song has leaked on the Internet of Budden To Jay-Z’s D.O.A., but is it a challenge or diss to Method Man or someone else?! Check it out here!


LIL'KIM AND FAITH FIGHT AT ALL WHITE PARTY!!!

Lil Kim and Faith had a face-to-face encounter towards the close of Sean "Diddy" Combs' coveted White Party in California, sources have reported.

Faith and Kim, whom both shared a relationship with The Notorious B.I.G., crossed paths at the White Party, which was held in Los Angeles instead of The Hampton's in New York.

Sources with AllHipHop.com said that Lil Kim took issue with her representation in Notorious, the biopic in which Faith was attached to.

Faith was in attendance with her husband and Lil Kim was with producer Choke No Joke and to some, this augmented the tension.

"It was really heated," one source said. "It was about to pop off...there was crazy screaming."

According to sources, Faith was saying, "I love you" to Lil Kim and Kim responded with "God bless you."
However, later at the event, Kim asked Faith, "How would you say you love me when you trashed me in your book?"

Under anonymity, a source told Us "We know that [Faith saying 'I love you'] is bulls**t. It wasn't even about the movie. It hurt Kim that she was being fake."

Actor Dennis Da Menace, who played D-Roc in "Notorious" and Devante Swing of Jodeci fame were able to prevent a potentially violent exchange between Faith's husband, Todd Russaw, and Choke No Joke.

"At first it was cool, but then Dennis had to peace it out," another source said.

Russaw reportedly attempted to take pictures as Kim and Faith spoke peacefully, to which Choke took exception.

Choke expressed publicly that it was inappropriate to take pictures and charged that Russaw was intoxicated. Russaw was not available for comment on the allegation.

Of the matter, Choke would only say, "Yes, I was there, but I don't have nothing to do with it. Please leave me out of it."
Sean "Diddy" Combs was not at the location at the time of the incident.

Despite the drama, Diddy managed to raise awareness for a charity, Malaria No More and his guests enjoyed their time, reports say.
Guests included Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, Khloe Kardashian, Busta Rhymes, Tyrese, Shanna Moakler, Lindsay Lohan, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon and Jonah Hill.

Even Chris Brown attended and performed his rendition of "Thriller."



JUDGE GOES AGAINST THE KING'S WILL

Yesterday (July 6), Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff denied Katherine Jackson control of her son’s estate, instead awarding temporary holdings to attorney John Branca and music executive John McClain.

Under the ruling, the two men will hold their temporary powers until August 3. McClain and Branca’s estate control allows them to negotiate a settlement with concert promoter AEG Live over Michael Jackson’s now aborted 50 concert comeback tour.

Additionally, the co-estate holders can begin the arduous process of reviewing Jackson’s assets, which include a 50% stake in the Sony-ATV Music Publishing catalog (worth $1.5-$2 billion), and his own Mijac Music Publishing.
