In October 2009, the ground breaking music game DJ Hero came of for PS3, XBox 360 and Wii. Awesome game, gets you hype and has some great mixes even of some very terrible songs. Whoever thought you would be jamming to Young MCs Bust a Move. This game made music game of the year in 2009. Now the reason I didn’t buy this game was I was already up to my ears playing Guitar Hero and Rockband and most importantly the steep price tag of $120. I was like Activision GTFOH! Then October 2010 came DJ Hero 2 with pretty much the same MO as the first game except more music, more DJs and better game play and still the same heavy price tag. My attitude remained the same GTFOH $120 you must be buggin out or something. Now here we are 6 short months later and the price is down to $30 including the turntable. You can get DJ Hero for $20. Check out Gamestop store or Gamestop.com, this is the time and this game is no doubt really fun. If you have kids especially teenagers it’s a perfect bonding tool. Even if you don’t have the skills to play the game, it’s fun to watch.

Freeway Rick Ross the ex-gangsta drug lord who did his time and has recently tried to sue Rick Ross in Federal court regarding the use of his name.  The Feds didn’t like the fact that he got his name from illegal activities and threw his case out.  Now Freeway is going to to sue the Boss in California state court with a new team of lawyers, Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP.  Apparently Freeway’s new lawyers feel they have a great chance on the state level because they’re suing Def Jam, Rick Ross and threatened to sue the new label he signed with, Warner Brothers, if they put out any new music.  Props to Freeway for not taking it to the streets, because I’m sure he still has some friends that wouldn’t be so diplomatic with Rick Ross in the streets.

I’m not going to say much on this situation because it’s stupid sad.  Nate Dogg died on Marc 15th, papers were drawn up to foreclose on one of his houses on March 17th because he was behind $5,924.  WTF?!?  First of all the debt was only $6,000 (let’s just round up $76), second of all, damn you couldn’t even let the man be dead for more than two days before you start taking his sh!t?!?  I really want to find out what scumbag (hey that word is in the dictionary it didn’t even underline red) mortgage company did this so I can warn you what company NOT to get a loan from.

Britney Spears just signed Nicki Minaj to open for her tour that kicks off this summer.  Spears needed a new act to tour with her for the latest album effort Femme Fatale (and Britney sure has been Fatale in the past few years) after Enrique Iglesias pulled out soon after the announcement was made.  Per TMZ the two came to an agreement and Britney plans to make an official announcement today (April 12th, 2011) about her tour plans.  Good move Britney sign the contract then make the announcement.  At first I was thinking that the two music styles would clash, but then again, two fine young pop tarts touring together.  One with all kinds of problems that she seems to have gotten a hold of and another rising star who seems to be keeping it together.  Hmmm maybe Nicky can teach Britney how to not let her life fall apart while being famous.  Then again, maybe Britney will show Nicky how to take a dive and make a comeback.  Either way some good news for us to write about.  Britney’s tours kicks off on June 17th in Sacramento California.
