Juelz is glad to be free, and Cam'ron is still making moves. Straight from Baller Status:

Cam'ron Sells Juelz Santana To Def Jam For $2 Million

The separation within the Dipset hierarchy continues.


With members like Jim Jones branching off, creating spin-offs from the original family, most has wondered what Juelz Santana has been up to. Well, he's back.


In a recent YouTube video, the rapper exclaimed "I'm back" before revealing several new projects in the works -- including a new mixtape from his new crew, the Skull Gang; a solo mixtape titled The Reagan Era; and his a forthcoming Def Jam project titled Born To Lose, Built To Win.

That's not all the news that's come out since this return.


Hot 97's Miss Info recently spotted an M.I.A. Cam'ron at a show in New Jersey, and discovered some shocking news about the young Dipset underboss -- he's been sold.


"Oh, by the way, I gotta talk to you about something else too. I sold Juelz' contract to Def Jam for $2 million dollars," Cam told Miss Info.


It's not just hearsay or rumors either. It's confirmed. Juelz backed Cam's statement, telling Miss Info that he's "finally free."


"Yeah, I'm free, and ready to do me," Juelz said. "But it's still Dipset for life. It's just going to be a new chapter."


Despite the separation, the rapper made it clear that there was no beef with Cam'ron, but did hint at some shadiness behind the scenes.


"I have no hard feeling for Cam, after all, he did give me a chance," he said. "But I will say this, I was loyal to him and he took advantage."


On the business side of things, however, Juelz revealed that he's put himself into a better position over at Def Jam, announcing that he's landed a joint venture, 50/50 deal with the label.


The first release under the new deal will be his next album,
Born to Lose, Built to Win.

"I would like to say sorry to all my fans, and the DJs, and most of all, my city, New York. Play time is over. I'm back. Y'all n****s know what time it is," Juelz exclaimed.


At press time, a timeframe for the release of the upcoming Def Jam project was not immediately available.

Shooting At Rick Ross Be Out Day

The 2nd annual "Rick Ross Be Out Day" was interrupted by gunfire yesterday. The event is an outdoor celebration where Rick hands out food, school supplies and encourages people to get registered to vote.

It was reported that the entire event was peaceful and positive until Ross took the stage. As soon as he did, someone fired a gun. "He was giving back to the community when this happened," a source said to an online publication. "Rick and the whole Poe Boy team got on stage and that's when someone in the crowd started shooting."

The annual Rick Ross Be Out Scholarship is normally presented at the event, which was also sponsored by The City of Miami Gardens and The Children's Trust. Police say they have one man in custody and are still looking for another person involved.






Black people, can we PLEASE get our shit together??

2Pac Energy Drink....Nah, For Real!!

I was browsing good ole' NikeTalk when I stumbled across this joint.

I was thinking, "This can't be real. No one would really use 'Pac's name like that."

Boy, was I wrong.

I dunno, maybe I'm crazy for thinking this is kind of disrespectful. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but this is straight up exploitation.
