Raekwon Says Diddy Should Help Shyne Avoid Deportation, "I Don't See Why He Wouldn't" [Video]
Raekwon also said he felt Shyne should be allowed to legally stay in New
"That's f*cked up, that's politics," Raekwon explained in an interview. "Now the politic game that wanted him in this environment gotta support him and help him out. The minute they help him out and make him feel like the n*gga he's supposed to be, you know what I mean, I think that he can live. They can't stop a man from wanting to feed himself and feed his family. And if this is where he resided to doing this at, you can't take that away from a man. Like come on, n*gga been away from his family in a long time and I run with n*ggas that did that amount of time as well and it's like, yo, you always wanna see them n*ggas overcome so it's only right that he gets that opportunity. Of course [Diddy should help.] I don't see why he wouldn't. Maybe somebody gotta ask him right. Or maybe he wants to do it anyway. So you know it's not up to me to judge a n*gga or pull a n*gga card on what he should do, it's just about what he wanna do." (Absolut TV)

50 DISSAPOINTED IN FAB..
50 Cent has responded to Fabolous' critique of his This Is 50 festival and said he was surprised that Loso blamed him for creating an "isolated & crumbled" New York hip-hop scene.
Writing via his website, ThisIs50, the G-Unit leader reflected on Fab's Twitter comments.
"Reading what Fab said about me on Twitter was disappointing," Fif wrote. "I have extended myself to Fab personally to allow him to expand himself as an international Touring Artist. I thought we were Friends but that's cool. Law #2: Never put too much trust in friends. Learn how to use enemies. Be wary of friends--they will betray you more quickly, for they are easily aroused to envy. They also become spoiled and tyrannical. But hire a former enemy and he will be more loyal than a friend, because he has more to prove. In fact, you have more to fear from friends than from enemies. If you have no enemies, find a way to make them. --50th Law of Power. Am I 50 Cent or Am I Machiavelli? D*mmmm!!! (This Is 50)
Fab initially suggested 50's previous rap beefs destroyed unity among New York rappers.
"Its interesting to c 50 Cent unite wit NY artists when he's 1 of the reasons NY hip hop became so isolated & crumbled..Do u agree NY??," Fab wrote Tuesday (October 6) morning. "I wonder if this is a law in the 50th law of power book?? I guess it was a good show 4 NY.. But if u asked 50 a few years ago if he ever saw hisself on stage with any of them he woulda said H*LL NO! Still 2 this day, 1 of the illest things i saw..Was 1 year a stadium full of fans screamin 4 Ja Rule, the next year sh*ttin on him 4 50 cent At 50's peak his grind was unmatched, image was bulletproof, music was ignorantly motivational & catchy, even classic. most never hav that So dont think im takin shots at 50.. Jus that NY show had me a lil puzzled.. But i love NY so i couldnt knock it if i wanted to." (Fabolous' Twitter)

Shyne, whose real name is Jamal Barrow, was charged in March 2001, with attempted murder, assault and reckless endangerment. (CBS News)
Diddy On Collaborating W/ The Lox, "We Have To Sit Down & Have A Real Meeting"
Diddy recently spoke on the possibility of bringing The Lox back to Bad Boy Entertainment and overseeing the trio's upcoming group project.
While saying a deal may be possible, Puff described the importance of a "real" meeting taking place first and foremost.
"I would definitely love to do the next LOX album," Diddy said in an interview. "I would love to collaborate with them. I think it's important just to do...I would look forward to it...We been talking about it. We have to sit down and have a real meeting about it...To be honest, I don't know what the future holds for Bad Boy [and] Interscope. I wanna take it day by day and get acquainted." (MTV)
PHARELL ADDS NEW MEMBER
Pharrell Williams has confirmed the new addition of female singer Rhea to his rap-rock group N.E.R.D. and explained why he decided to seek out a fourth member.
According to Williams, the songbird will add an extra element he has been missing from the group's sound.
"Musically, we're just somewhere else [with her]," Pharrell said in an interview. "The music is now very 3-D. It's something you have to hear. But you'll see. We're definitely somewhere else. I want to leave that impact moment for when you purchase your download and you purchase your CD. The music is very three-dimensional. We're just really excited. We feel like N.E.R.D. has always been the punks of hip-hop and the outcasts of alternative music -- just a little different. But this time, we're taking no prisoners...Now you have this little Tinkerbell that's just stepped in and has been amazing...It's made it a fun process. We can go in so many more directions, because we have the vocal support." (MTV)
