HHC Digital’s online news round-up…
By Richard Watson

“He’ll hit you/Get the picture, Kodak man?” In Croatia, Jay-Z’s bodyguard scuffled with a paparazzo, while back on home soil habitual Jigga haters The Game and Jaz-O joined forces for the week’s most economical dis record and Jim Jones accused Jigga of jacking his splash – which thankfully isn’t as dodgy as it sounds. Jonesy also got competitive on the hardwood, going up against Pac Div and Asher Roth’s Caucasoid crew in a basketball tournament.

Showcasing that inimitable Wu knowledge, Ghostface kicked off his ‘Wizdom of the Week’ series. This week’s science? “Men like to fuck, yo.” Then, interviewed alongside openly gay The Wire actress Felicia ‘Snoop’ Pearson, Ghost’s buddy Rae dropped some similarly forthright opinions on homosexuals. Didn’t he learn anything from Snoop’s fellow Baltimore badass Omar?

Rae’s ‘OB4CL2’ was instantly forgotten as details emerged about Fat Joe’s feverishly awaited ‘J.O.S.E. Part 2’. Whatever these jealous ones are (still) still envying though, it’s probably not Joe’s new cheapo sneakers – perfect for those energetic dashes to Greggs. Meanwhile, Joey’s fellow Latin emcee Pitbull was awarded the key to Miami for being – it says here – a positive role model. Here’s hoping he cuts Luke a copy.

On the collaborations front, DITC stalwarts OC and AG gave us the heads-up on their forthcoming full-length, Ill Cosby (AKA SNL cut-up Kenan Thompson) blessed DJ Whoo Kid and, from the vaults, we were treated to Eminem’s past alliance with Chaos Kid. Mind you, the real killer combo appears to have been Em’s shorts ‘n’ school shoes hook-up.

Snoop came up short on Who Wants to be a Millionaire? and, in other canine rapper news, Cash Money bolstered its already formidable roster by bagging… Bow Wow? Shad denied that he had signed with the label because it was hot, while the label denied that it had signed Bow because of a clerical error.
