Pusha T and Malice of Clipse have signed on the dotted line with Koch Records to release the Re-Up Gang album, due August 5th on the indie powerhouse label. “We put out the “We Got It 4 Cheap” series on our own for the streets and that helped keep us visible and build the Re-Up name as an entity,” Pusha said in a statement. “This time our manager got with Koch to put together an official album with new music and let Koch Records do what they do best.” The first single from the project, “Fast Life,” produced by Scott Storch, is set to be released next week.
BET recently aired the second installment of their Hip-Hop Vs. America town hall series, “Where Did the Love Go?” and panelist LaShawnna Stanley, founder of Ethnicity Models, feels like more follow-up is needed. “What happened after the first one,” Stanley explained. “We have to keep having panels, discussions, one-hour specials, blogs, and conversations. But what’s being done to fix the situation. We’re trying to figure out whom to blame, but where is it getting? Back to square one. I can’t speak for the others, but being on the panel has moved me to start a “taking the ho out of hip-hop campaign.” Stanley is currently building her “I Love Me” non-profit organization.
First Russell Simmons had to pay out, now, he’ll barely get to see his kids. Kimora Lee Simmons has won sole custody of her children with the Def Jam founder. The hip-hop mogul, who was ordered to pay $40, 000 a month in child support, will get his kids once week out of every eight, plus time for holidays and summer vacations. [People]—XXL staff

Damn what did Russell to deserve all that. He has to pay 40gs a month for kids he can barely see. If he wants to be more involved in his kids life let him.

These flea-males don’t care bout what cats try to step up, all they want is what THEY think they’re worth. Kimora Flea Simmons is a ten dolla broad like the rest. Rush got caught like erybody else that care bout they kids. 200$ up to 40 g’s its all the same. Fellas, if u aint livin for these “girls” then don’t start. Its about self until u find that one and trust me, it aint the one u wit now. Wallets closed and eyes open niggas! Now we gotta watch out 4 da man and the woman. The game is on! Word up.

Is the Clipse deal at Columbia still a go? Or was it only for the brothers Thornton?
Can’t hate on LaShawnna Stanley; she’s a beautiful woman getting her own money.
Rush should have known better before wifing that greedy, no-ass-havin, gettin-high-in-my-Benzo-while-I’m-drivin-my-kids, controlling Yoko Ono-type (what shitty prenup did he sign)? Porschla’s a piece, though.

Damn. Now THAT’S a gold diggin bitch!!! She has her OWN money thanks to Russell. Why she RAPING the man? Doesn’t she co-own BABY PHAT? Child support is awarded to insure that the children are provided for or taken care of. She’s written books, had a show, has a cosmetics line,etc. The bitch GOT money. smMFh. Some people don’t make 40,000 a year, 40K a month???? She HO’ed you, Uncle Russ. Crazy.

$40,000 per child, per month? Then He can’t even see his kids, when he wants? What kind of Bull is this? Russell should have gotten better lawyers. She must be really scorned, still this makes no sense. Let that Man be apart of his Kids Life. Alot of Men have a Chance to be apart of there kids life and, don’t even jump at the chance. $40,000 ?! What the hell those little Girls going to do with $40,000 ?! This Proves how fucked up the Judicial System is. Kimora is straight Gold Digging Hoe. KIMORA! Life is a Bitch , But Karma is a Muthaphukka! You remember that you Gold Digging Good for nothing Bitch!
