I think everyone already noticed TBOHipHop.net isn’t updated like it always was. Actually only the News Section and Jukebox aren’t updated at the moment, the other video and mixtapes categories are getting new items every day.

Also there are couple things that don’t work properly, like the mixtape and video lists in the sidebar and the uncategorized browse pages (fixed).

Of course, we know about all these problems. But we will be back better than ever very soon. We were working to get the new layout done. It’s almost done, we will try to get it running as soon as possible.

But why don’t you fix the current problems you may ask. Because our crew is not that big at the moment too make all things working properly. That’s why with the new layout coming, we are going to search for new TBO crew members to get TBOHipHop.net running like it suppose to run. We will put up a new page soon, with a form, where people who are interested to join our crew, can sign up.

Our apologizes for everything. I will keep you updated till everything is fixed.

Please leave a comment!

Thanks,

He’s a mogul. He’s a millionaire. And he told you he won’t stop.

Well, actually, he told you he was retiring. But like Diddy, Jay-Z keeps going.

Hov joined Kanye West on stage last night at Madison Garden in New York City. The pair relayed a message to the audience that erupted in cheers with the Roc ringleader arrived.

And with that, The Blueprint 3 is on the way. ‘Ye yelled over and over again, that refrain, as Jay spit a new song titled “Jockin’ Jay-Z.” West even revealed he’ll be producing records for the LP.

The opening bars of the track feature Hov taking aim again at his detractors (Ahem, Noel Gallegher) during the Glastonbury Festival.

“That bloke from Oasis said I can’t play guitar/ Somebody should have told him I’m a fucking Roc star.”

T-Pain’s schedule is shaping up nicely. He just finished his video to "Can’t Believe It" with Lil Wayne, and he and the collaboration king now have a slew of songs in the vault for their duet LP. But first, Pain is releasing his third solo LP in September.

"I got my new album, Thr33 Ringz, dropping this fall," he recently told MTV Base. "I got my artist Tay Dizm, and I’ve already got his single ‘Beam Me Up,’ featuring me and Rick Ross. I’ve also got Young Cash coming out right now, Jay Lyriq — I’ve got a lot of stuff coming [on my Nappy Boy label]."

And as usual, Pain’s plate is filled with a who’s who of music. "I’m working with a lot of new people," the Florida native said. "I just worked on Ciara’s album. Me and Kanye did it again; we did another hook like two days ago."

T-Pain failed to mention that he and Timbaland just recorded a couple of tracks together as well. But Timbo got us up to speed.

In this week’s Hip-Hop and R&B charts, Lil’ Wayne position holds steady, Nas hangs on to Top 10, and G-Unit suffers another loss.

After reaching the double platinum mark last week, Lil’Wayne’s run at “3 millie” gets off to a start. According to Nielsen Soundscan Weezy’s sixth studio album Tha Carter III, remains at No. 5 on top of Billboard 200. With the release of the third single “Get Money” featuring his auto-tune partner, T-Pain the ubiquitous set shifted 80,000 units. In eight weeks, Young Moola’s double platinum set has moved 2,100,000 units.

Nas’ controversial ninth studio album Untitled narrowly stays in the Top 10, dropping down two spots to No. 10. Impacted with a 35% decline in sales, the revolutionary LP shifted 41,000 copies this week. Untitled is charged by the Polow da Don produced and Keri Hilson assisted lead single, “Hero,” and FOX news network diss track “Sly Fox.” After three weeks, the Queensbridge MC set has sold 290,000 units.

The feud between 50 Cent and Young Buck has died down quite a bit since last month, when all the talk on the internet was about the leaked phone conversation in which Buck was heard crying to 50.

Since the leak, we’ve only heard from the Tennessee rapper via responses recorded in the form of songs. Now, nearly a month later, he’s starting to get out, making his rounds again, and is speaking out about the fallout with his former family at G-Unit.

In a recent interview with Buckie Naked Radio, the rapper addressed the ongoing feud with 50 Cent. He downplays the whole situation, saying the two going just need to go their separate ways.

"At this point, I’m just trying to do what I got to do as a man," Buck said. "My departure away from the group … I’m still signed to this label [and] I’m trying to get away from that situation because we just can’t work out. At this point, it’s just about me moving forward."

"I think what I’m going through, as far as my situation with G-Unit, is something that’s just making me stronger. It made me more weary of my surroundings. It taught me a whole lot," he continued.

‘All the pictures of me and Em, I burned them,’ he raps in the L.A.X. song.

Coming off his song "Game’s Pain," it’s clear the Game’s mood isn’t getting any brighter. "My Life," another track from his L.A.X. LP was leaked Wednesday night. It features Lil Wayne and showcases more of Game’s wordplay and his very vocal torment.

"All the pictures of me and Em, I burned them," he raps, referencing Slim Shady. "So there ain’t no proof I walked through 8 Mile/ And so since it ain’t no Proof, I’ll never walk through 8 Mile/ Sometimes I think about my life with my face down/ Then I see my sons and put on my Kanye smile."

Later, he references Notorious B.I.G. "Biggie, Brooklyn’s Jesus, shot for no f—in’ reason/ And you wonder why Kanye West wears his Jesus pieces."

The wait for Detox is almost over. Dr. Dre says his long-anticipated third solo album is starting to take shape in the studio and could arrive before the end of the year.

"I’m just now — over the last couple of months — starting to feel that it’s going to be right and it’s something I can be proud of, and everybody is going to love it," says Dr. Dre (aka Andre Young). "In a perfect world, I’m shooting for a November or December release."

If that happens, it will come nine years after his six-times-platinum 2001, which was itself a long-awaited follow-up to his revered 1992 debut, The Chronic That album’s bass-fueled G Funk sound dominated rap for years and propelled Snoop Dogg to superstardom. Both albums raised the bar for hip-hop production values.

"I’ve never set out to do that," says Dre, 43. "I just make the music feel the way I want it to feel and I don’t put it out until I’m totally happy with it. Then it does what it does."

"He’s a master of crafting a complete album, which is rare these days with everything being singles-driven," Creekmur says. "We’ve been waiting on this almost a decade, and that ridiculous level of anticipation will translate saleswise. It would be on par with Lil Wayne (whose Tha Carter III recently sold 1 million copies its first week out), if not more."

For Eminem fans, the four-year wait since the Detroit MC released his last studio album, Encore, has been painful. But according to Dr. Dre’s latest protégé, Bishop Lamont, the end of the drought could be right around the corner. “Em is excited,” Lamont said, according to an Entertainment Weekly blog report. “He’s been quiet too long, and he’s got a lot to get off his chest.”

No release date has been set yet for the album, but Em’s label confirmed that he’s in the studio at work on the album. The 35-year-old MC has been on hiatus for the past two-plus years, in part to deal with his emotions about the 2006 death of best friend and fellow D12 member Proof in a bar shooting in Detroit, but Lamont said Slim Shady is emerging from his grief.
