Ja Fool puts his comeback on ice.
After beating his chest earlier this year and ranting and raving about how he was comin’ back in 09, Ja Rule has put this new album on hold til 2010.
"I’m putting together a beautiful fucking album,” he said of his new work. “It’s coming out real hot. I couldn’t be happier right now."

Before that, fans can also expect new material in the form of a mixtape. 

“Welcome To Rule York is coming soon,” he said of his mix tape. “I’m doing it on my own right now. I kind of like working on my own on the mix tapes. But, I might get a deejay to host it. I’m not sure yet.”

The mixtape has no official release date but will “absolutely” drop before 2010. The new album will be released around November, according to him. 

He’s also working on film and television projects that fans can catch very soon.

"I just did a joint that’s going to the film festival,” he noted. “It’s called Don’t Fade Away with me and Mischa Barton. Then, I’m working on a film right now with Susan Batson called In the Lower Ninth. It’s just getting the green light so we’ll be shooting that soon. On my production company, we’ve got Leroy that we’re working on.” Does anyone really care?

Kool Keith’s lost masters.
Super cool rap veteran Kool Keith is one of hip hops most prolific artists. The longtime Ultramagnetic MC’s front-man has unveiled his latest collection titled Lost Masters. Released on Oglio Entertainment, the 50 song collection (released exclusively on iTunes) features unique work primarily from this decade. Speaking with Urban Noize last week, Keith explained, “Lost Masters is all the tracks that I’ve done that aren’t part of a concept; they’re what I do between projects. I put out [a collection] every other year. These are assorted tracks that I have laying around that are unreleased [but] brand-new sounding. It’s more of stuff that’s not so concentrated on concept. These are free-spirited records."

 A lot of people are programmed. You’ve got a lot of rappers that might make seven or eight records, according to their budget - or maybe an album, if the record company [is really interested] in the record. Lastly, Lastly Keith, who admitted to being a longtime and very sincere fan of Michael Jackson, warned rappers that it was “blasphemy” to say “you’re the Michael Jackson of Rap. You’re not the Michael Jackson of anything. That man sold out arenas on his own in every city. He didn’t need ‘The Superfriends,’” said Keith, referring to performers today touring stadiums and arenas on packed, shared bills. “That man was the greatest ever. There will never be another.”

Redman gets sued.
Wu Tang Clan member Method Man is being sued for allegedly shooting a woman with a pellet gun after a show with Redman at the House of Blues in Houston, according to AllHipHop.com. The woman, from Fort Bend County, Texas, claims Meth shot her from his tour bus at least six times in the chest and torso and that she required medical attention afterwards. “The conduct of the defendant was so extreme and outrageous in character and so extreme in degree as to go beyond all bounds of decency and should be regarded as atrocious conduct and utterly intolerable in a civilized society,” said the woman’s attorney Daniel Horowitz last week. In addition to infliction of bodily injury, Method Man is also being accused of infliction of emotional distress and offensive physical contact.

Liam is a cyclist from Newport Beach, CA who has ridden some of the most famous cols of Europe with his father, Bill.hoodia While there, they happened upon Lance Armstrong training and had a chance to ride alongside him and have a little chat while being photographed by a French news reporter. This year they followed the tour, and climbed Mont Ventoux together a couple of times.buy tramadol Most recently, they rode Levi Leipheimer’s GranFondo in Sonoma, and are soon headed to Austin, TX for the LiveStrong Challenge where they will ride the 65 mile course.

That in itself would be cause enough for the average cyclist to feel pretty pleased with himself, but Liam and Bill’s story becomes more interesting when you reveal one other small fact:

Liam is 9 years old.After exchanging a couple of Tweets and emails, Bill and Liam made the drive up to our house in San Gabriel for lunch and a ride with my son Ryan and me. It was a real pleasure to spend some time with these two very nice people. I’m always amazed at the fascinating and wonderful people that the world of cyclingxanax online brings together. Ryan and Liam hit it off like old friends (kids are amazing that way!).
