This is NOT an official statistic. This is my personal opinion of the best hip hop songs released from 2000 to 2009. I am sure everyone has his own opinion, and it would be impossible for all of us to think of the same top 10 songs so don’t leave comments like : “Where’s that guy?” or “X must be on this list” etc. In the video, you will see the names of the songs. Here are the artists and the year their songs were released: 10. Big L (2000) 9. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony (2001) 8 .AZ (2005) 7. Masta Ace (2004) 6. Eminem (2002) 5. Mobb Deep (2006) 4.

When 50 Cent waged war against Rick Ross early last year he tried a number of different tactics to win the feud, but it seems like he may be sued over one of them.

At some point during the feud, 50 Cent leaked a video of Rick Ross’ baby mother, Lastonia Leviston, in a sex tape. A commentary by 50 Cent’s Pimpin’ Curly persona was then added to the video.

AllHipHop.com reports that Lastonia Leviston is now suing 50 Cent for his use of the tape. She claims she suffered “emotional distress” as a result of the video being leaked and that 50 Cent did not have proper permission to use the tape.

Leviston started her lawsuit this week by filing a complaint in a Manhattan court February 24. It’s unclear how much money Leviston is asking for in her lawsuit.

Although Leviston is currently going through the process of filing a lawsuit, Rick Ross’s other baby mother Tia Kemp seemed to had benefit greatly from the Ross’ feud with 50 Cent.

During the feud last year Kemp was treated by the courtesy of 50 cent to a shopping spree, then released a tell-all book, and was even featured on the cover of Smooth Magazine.

It’s been 5 years since Lil Jon gave fans an album. 2004’s Crunk Juice came out on the Top 200 at #3, and prompted the singles “What U Gon’ Do” and “Real Nigga Roll Call.” The onetime So So Def DJ also enlisted production assistance from Rick Rubin, as well as a guest-list that included Nas, Ice Cube and Suga Free to what remains one of the few platinum independent Rap albums of the decade.

In the six years since, some could argue that Jon has quietly left. As his former label collapsed, the self-proclaimed King Of Crunk became label-mates with Chamillionaire and Drake at Universal Republic, and produced hits for E-40, Amerie, Pitbull and Baby Bash.

This afternoon, it was announced that after the lengthy hiatus, Jon’s long-discussed, but never-released Crunk Rock will be brought to fans June 8th. Morever, Jon & The East Side Boyz’ 7th career album features Game, Pitbull, R. Kelly, Elephant Man, LMFAO, Soulja Boy and others.

“I’m finally ready to get Crunk Rock out there to my people,” said Lil Jon. “It’s been a long time comin’ and the album has somethin’ for everyone on it.” Jon continued, “I gave them every kind of Lil Jon that they have ever heard on an album. From the Crunk shit, to R&B, to House, Electro and Rock… The album is on a whole other level… I can’t wait for da’ people to hear it!”

In the video interview with the Associated Press shown above, Akon revealed what Dr. Dre’s next song might be like.

“Actually, that’s what really excites me more about it,” says singer Akon, which is initially speaking about Lady Gaga, who is signed to his label imprint. “You got some straight, hardcore Hip Hop guys actually moving into the dance realm.”

“That’s shocking,” says Akon, “when you got someone like Dr. Dre about to do a dance record. That’s my point. That’s crazy. But, in a way, it’s so exciting for me because that just shows our industry is so open-minded to everything. And believe it or not, with that open-mindedness, we can create magic.”

“It actually sounds great,” said the singer of the untitled Dr.Dre record. “He played it for me. I was shocked. I was like, ‘Wow, that’s dope!’ When the world hears this, they might go crazy!”

It is uncertain whether the record will be on Dr. Dre’s highly anticipated Detox album, or whether he’s simply producing it for another artist.

Even though “How To Make It In America,” the new HBO show starring Kid Cudi, has not gone on the air yet, Cudi is already talking about eventually ending his rap career to focus just on acting.

Kid Cudi recently told New York Magazine that he plans on calling it a wrap after about four or five albums.

“I’m trying to evenly balance them out right now, but eventually I want to leave behind music and just do acting,” Kid Cudi says. “I only got into the music business to tell my story and inspire some people. I think four albums will do it, and when I’m done with my four, five albums, I’ll switch it up. Once the story is told [musically], there’s nothing else to say.”

“How To Make It In America” will be aired on HBO on Sunday, February 14 at 10 p.m.

In other news, Cudi is claiming that alcohol may have been a major factor in an attack on a fan that happened back in December.

According to TMZ.com Cudi called Michael Sharpe, who is the man he punched at his show, to apologize. He explained to Sharpe that his actions that night were brought on by alcohol.

TMZ did not recieve a response in an attempted to reach out to Cudi in regards to his phone call to Sharpe.

Punchline is an artist that we haven’t featured much on this site, which is a shame, because he is pretty damn dope. You may hear him sprinkled over the NBA Live franchise and on other places that good hip hop is warranted. This new one is under the same namesake as Snoop Dogg’s recent effort, enjoy.
