Now that Game has officially become the Doctor's Advocate once again and made his return alongside Dr. Dre on Aftermath records, the two have been steadily working on both of their upcoming projects together.

Apparently, there have come to be some stipulations in regards to Game and his upcoming album The R.E.D. Album, as delegated by Dre.

Sources are reporting that Game will not be allowed to throw any disses at 50 Cent on the album.  Their original falling out was allegedly, in part, due to the beef that had brewed between Game and 50 after he was kicked out of G-Unit.

Well, if that's not what we call being “sonned” than what is?

This would, however, go to show that Dre isn't actually teaming with Game again to deliver a bitter jab towards 50 as some may have speculated before.

Rumors have been circulating that the relationship between 50 Cent and Dre isn't what the media portrays and it is only through Eminem why the two are able to co-exist. 

In regards to such statements, neither side has issued a statement, but Dre working on Before I Self Destruct and 50 reportedly on Detox should be an indication that the two are playing nice.

When news broke that T.I. was making his way back to the studio to pen more hits, fans of Grand Hustle's co-founder were left eagerly waiting.

Now, they'll have a chance to hear new material from the King sooner than they thought.

Grand Hustle artist and Atlanta bred MC,  B.O.B., is announcing T.I.'s first return to music since his eight months in jail.

Tip will make his return through B.O.B.'s debut album, The Adventures of Bobby Ray.

According to Bobby Ray,  while T.I. is not featured lyrically on a track, he  is featured on production for a song on the album titled "Fifth Dimension.”

Speaking on the the production lineup for the the project he tells Rap-Up,

"T.I. actually produced some stuff on the album, Jim Jonsin, Dr. Luke, me...it's a good combination."

B.O.B. is currently promoting for the release of the The Adventures Of Bobby Ray.

He recently released his May 25 mixtape hosted by DJ Drama and DJ Sense with features from Asher Roth, J. Cole and Charles Hamilton.

In the midst of promoting his Blueprint III tour with Trey Songz and Young Jeezy, Jay-Z is seeing his name brought up in headlines overseas now that he's facing allegations of racism.

British newspaper The Daily Star is reporting that would-be attendees to an after party he held for the Brit Awards were denied entry based on the color of their skin.

Several people reported to the Star that they could not get in because they were white.

Held at London's Club Merah, club-goers were outraged about not being let in, with one unnamed attendee telling the paper,

“The security guards were happy to let in all party-goers apart from the white people.”

The paper also reports that several of Britain's Black celebs left during the melee including Oritsé Williams of British boy band JLS and dancing show judge Alesha Dixon.

Obviously upset by the turn of events, Dixon tells The Star,

“My friends have been getting knocked about and no-one seems to care. I need to get out of here. I'd rather be at my local kebab shop Elsie's right now than back inside with all that aggro.“

Jay-Z has yet to release a statement on the allegations but security at the venue are believed to be part of the club's personal staff and not associated with the mogul.

The dynamic duo of Naledge and Double O is hitting the road for new tour dates.

Alternative Hip-Hop team, Kidz in the Hall, is announcing a 22-date national tour.

Kicking off February 27 in Syracuse, New York the tour will be in promotion for their new album Land of Make Believe which hits stores March 9.

Alongside the Kidz on the tour will be Donnis, 88-Keys and Izza Kizza.

As they prepare to return to the Land of Make Believe, Naledge says that their new project gave them a chance to reflect on themselves, serving as a “soundtrack” to their aspirations and downfalls.

“The moment we have worked for has come to a crossroad.  We've never taken time to look ourselves in the mirror and analyze what this industry has made us. As a lyricist, I used this album to serve as a soundtrack to my aspirations and to my downfalls, but also as a chance to evaluate who I am as a man compared to whom I envisioned myself to be."

As was the case with Michael Jordan and Jay Z, the announcement of retirement from the game has come to fall on deaf ears.

The drop of Emeritus was supposed to be the swan song and the final curtain call for rapper Scarface, but even his statement of stepping out of the game had to be retracted as he is returning and already preparing his next album.

Making quick rounds, Face has already tapped into talents such as John Legend for his upcoming release, which has yet to be titled and without a scheduled date to drop.

During an interview with HipHopDX, producer Mike Dean chopped it up and gave an update on where Scarface is at with the next project.

“It's sounding good. We just scored a feature from John Legend on there. I hooked him up with John, making sh*t happen. I don't know what's up with the album or a release date or anything, we're just working on a few songs right now. For the last few albums,I haven't had much on his albums because we haven't been in the studio together. He'll do music somewhere else and bring it to me."

It was only 2008 when the rapper said he was going to hang up the microphone and that Face was officially dead.  He was adding that he was looking to give back and start producing for other rappers.

Well, it seems that no matter how long you take yourself out the game, the game never leaves you.  The professor is back to school these rappers once again.

Face is back.

As rapper Mystikal was released from prison a couple of weeks ago, he like the rest of us figured he served his time and could put his past behind him…right?  Well not exactly.

According to sources, a large pornography company has a copy of a Mystikal's  sex tape and is planning to release it tomorrow.

Although information is just gathering on this event, rumors have said that this tape is a brand new tape and not the one that ultimately put Mystikal behind bars back in January, 2004.

For those who are unaware, Mystikal was sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to forcing his hairstylist to perform sexual actson himself and his bodyguard.

The video tape is said to show her giving the men oral sexual favors as well as any sexual favors that she was told to do.

Denying the tape from the start, Mystikal was later charged, tried and sentenced to jail after the video tape was later found in his house.

No other information of the sex tape is available at the time, but we will keep you updated on the latest on Mystikal's return.

The New Orleans MC will also headline a Mardi Gras concert tonight in his home state Louisiana.

Trying to place his best foot forward with the debut album Thank Me Later, Young Money's Drake has tried to make the best first impression and created a wish list of potential features which will bring his sound out the best.

Already locking down the likes of Lil Wayne, Kanye West and potentially JayZ, the engine behind the Canadian rapper might not be large enough to snag an appearance from Sade.

Springing back onto the scene from her usual musical hiatus, Sade dropped Soldier Of Love, but had made sure to have minimal press following her.

In regards to a possible collaboration with Drake, a discussion with TheNational Post revealed that Sade hasn't even spoken to anyone in the rapper's camp.

“I don't think they have contacted me. I've never collaborated because I've always avoided working outside my safety zone — I can be exactly who I am and can fail or success within the moment. I feel safe working like I do. I wouldn't want to work in a situation where I am expected to deliver because I think I wouldn't deliver.”

That's quite a shame to hear.  After Drizzy's contributions to Alicia Keys for “Un-Thinkable” from The Element of Freedom, there could have been another potential classic in the making.

In related news, the first single for Drake's debut will be “It's Over”,which will be produced by Boi-1da.  Boi-1da was responsible for the hits,“Forever” and “Best I Ever Had” so it will definitely be something to look out for.

In the effort to provide Haiti with relief, the U.S. has been trying to do its part to provide support to those in dire need within the country.

Coming together to remake the classic “We Are The World”, Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie pulled together a slew of artists to remake the magic first created with the help of the late Michael Jackson.

Of those to appear on the guest list, Jay-Z actually pulled a disappearing act as the rapper was no where to be found in the fray of the Hip Hop community.

Speaking with MTV, Jay gave the reasoning behind not being part of the song.

“I have a interesting take on that. I know everybody is gonna take this wrong: “We Are the World,” I love it, and I understand the point and think it's great. But I think “We Are the World” is like “Thriller” to me. I don't ever wanna see it touched.”

Although he may not agree with the song, he is thankful for what it has done to further aid Haiti and raised funds.

“I know the plight and everything that's going on in Haiti. I applaud the efforts. Like 1 out of 2 Americans donated through text to Haiti.That's amazing. So I appreciate the efforts and everything, but “We are the World” is untouchable like “Thriller” is untouchable. Some things are just untouchable. It was a valiant effort, but for me, it's gonna be untouchable.”

If he had things his way, Jay would have preferred that the song be something original, somewhat like “Stranded” with him, and Bono of U2.

Most would probably agree with Hov in applauding the effort, but some things just shouldn't be touched.  Who would have ever thought to see Auto Tune on “We Are The World”?

It seems like DJ Khaled's Victory might be starting to look more like an album that is refusing to accept a possible loss.

Dropping February 23, the upcoming release is basically out now seeing that almost every track has leaked onto the Internet over the past few weeks.

After the disappointing response to Shyne's official comeback on “All My Life”, Khaled, who fully sponsored the rapper's return, had to do a bit of yard work as a new tracklist for the album is without Po.

Along with Shyne being placed on the chopping block, heavy hitters such as Jadakiss and Kanye West no longer have their names accompanied on the revised tracklist.  Both were expected to appear with Nas on the album title track.

[Check to see who else didn't makethe final cut for Victory]

12. Rep My City (feat. Pitbull & Jarvis)Hmm...No Fat Joe either. Thought he made the cut by default.

Looking at the remastered version of the album, the initial excitement for Khaled's next project feels like it might be starting to lose steam.

Promising to make a movie of the release, it might be better off going straight to DVD.

Fabolous' latest work bringing together himself and DJ Drama is finally set to drop.

Fabolous pushed back the release of his There Is No Competition Pt. 2(Funeral Service) in respect for the tragedy in Haiti .

Now nearly a month later Fabolous says he'll drop the finished project this week.

Fabo broke the news Saturday through his @MyFabolouslife Twitter page saying that he had one more song left to complete before the end result would hit the net this week.

"Jus bodied the Jay Electronica Exhibit C beat 4 #TiNc2.. 1song left 2 do.. #TiNc2 will b out next week.. #iswear."

In related news Fabolous is still set to star in a reality show documenting the rapper's adventures in fatherhood.

While a name for the show has yet to berevealed, the program is expected to air on VH1.
