Rapper Fab Five Freddy had a small exchange of words over the Iraq war with George Bush senior.

According to sources, the rapper stated “We were out on the field to watch U2 and Green Day and George Bush Sr. walked by. I got in his way and yelled, “We need to bring the troops home!” He told me, ‘We must win this war.” So I said again, ‘”Bring the troops home” – and even though people tried to herd him away, he came back and said,”I don’t really have anything to do with it.”

Bush, Sr and Fab Five Freddy was at New Orleans to watch the home team play a football game at the Superdome.

After finishing up an overseas with Public Enemy, member Flavor Flav will bring his self-titled solo debut which has been in the works for over a year. The album is expected to hit shelves on Halloween, October 31 under his own label, Drayton Records, and Redeye Distribution.

“This is my first and only album ever because I want it to be a collector’s item,” states Flav. “I always wanted to do a solo album but coming up through the years there’s been a lot of obstacles in my way that have stopped me from being able to do so.”

The new album will feature a guest appearance by Smooth Bee of the duo Nice & Smooth on the track “Baby Baby Baby.” “This is the way I want people to perceive me so I don`t have [any] collaborations,” says Flav, who also experiments with R&B on the album. “It has music for all ages, from 10 up `til senior citizens. I worked hard on it and everything is Flav.”

“Flavor Man” is stated to be his favorite track. “It’s because of the heart and soul that I put into it. I’m playing live instruments on there and doing all my lead vocals and background vocals,” he says. “I always pictured it being a big record.”

As far as “Flavor of Love” goes he plans on putting the show to rest and explore other opportunties.

“If there’s a connection this season then there might not be a reason for “Flavor of Love 3,” he says. “I ain’t scared to do it again, but I ain’t really trying to. I want to do a talk show or something. I’ve done enough dating on TV. I’m ready to spread my wings and go down other avenues. I don’t want to just stay stuck on one page cause you don’t make it to the end of the book that way.”

Flav is planning on doing a solo tour, a book and another Public Enemy album which will possibly be done by him. Flav states, “Chuck D wants to release another Public Enemy album, but I always wanted the next Public Enemy album to be done by me.”

Kurtis Blow is now following the steps of other gospel hip-hop icons such as the late O’Landa Draper, Mr. Del, Kirk Franklin and others. He has formed a Christian record label Music Ministry Recordings in partnership with EMI Gospel. Kurtis Blow says he formed it in attempt to get young people to go back to church.

In addition to forming a label he has launched his TV show “Hip-Hop America” which broadcasts the religious service at the Hood Memorial Church in Harlem, New York City.

Twenty-seven year old rapper Foxy Brown (Inga Marchand) lost her case to fashion designer Tanya Manderson and now the fashion designer doesn’t know exactly how to retrieve the money because of the rapper having financial problems.

It currently looks like the only choice the rapper has is to immediately begin a cash flow before she’ll end up with more legal problems such as bankruptcy. As far as an album goes it doesn’t look like she will be doing anything immediately due to the fact that Angie Martinez says that there was something funny going on with her voice ever since she went deaf. Angie believes that Foxy doesn’t realize it, but we’re for certain she probably does or has been told by family and friends. We’re just glad to know that 99% of her hearing has been restored.

However, inaddition to the judgement, the designer is expecting at least $1 million from the rapper. There have been statements made that claims to an insurance company had been issued in an attempt to recover the cash, but apparently it hasn’t been approved as of yet.
