Chris Brown & Drake get it into an altercation

Drake and Chris Brown had an altercation at an NYC club last night, leaving Chris Brown with a gash on his face.

Word is that Drake, Wale , Meek Mill and French Montana showed up at WIP nightclub in New York, where Chris Brown was already present.

The two singer's crews got into a fight, and bottles were thrown leaving five people injured, nothing too serious though.

Supposedly C Breezy sent over a bottle to Drake, which Drake rejected, and an argument ensued. This led to fighting, and supposedly Drizzy punched Chris Brown and threw a bottle at him, with left the cut on Breezy's chin.

TMZ reports that the NYPD were called to the club around 4 or 5 A.M., at which time neither Drake nor Chris Brown were there. No arrests were made.

Following the incident Chris Brown tweeted, "How u party wit rich n**** that hate? Lol... Throwing bottles like girls? #shameonya!," along with a photo of his face, both of which have since been deleted.  (RUMOUR HAS IT, THE FIGHT IS OVER RIHANNA) See the photo below.

Canibus explains 'Notepad'

As you can recall, Canibus recently took on Dizaster in a hugely televised Pay-Per-View only battle where the "peoples favorite" choked and pulled out a went against ALL rules and pulled out notepad MID-BATTLE!
Here's his excuse:

"A few days before the KOTD Vendetta event, I was abducted by human blood sucking leeches who did not make their identity known, but I assume were agents of the dark world. While in my vehicle ready to pay for a toll, a helicopter attached with a satellite device that promotes fear flew directly over me. Upon being aware of what was happening I decided to escape on foot and flee from this radioactive device that can cause mental and emotional harm to any man- Even a man who possesses the brain waves of a complicated degree such as myself. As I abandoned my vehicle, I got to a fence and as I climbed underneath, the helicopter got visual contact on its target and there was nothing I could do. Completely lost in a parallel universe I was removed from consciousness and as I woke up I had secret agents of some kind asking me why I decided to battle in this event that was being broadcasted world-wide. I explained to them it was strictly Hip Hop related but they did not believe me. They used Chinese water torture methods at first to try to break my spirits to no avail. They attached wires to my skull and moved on to “Alternative 2.” They then inquired about my knowledge of secret societies and about my experiences in the military.

Something I never told anybody is that one morning, while in the military, I was woken up and interrogated for 86 hours straight about all the infinite rhymes that I had released. They inquired about how I received the findings of this information and how I was capable of putting it in a 4 bar measured instrumental. They conducted various studies and also got a hold of all the infinite rhymes I hadn’t even released yet. Somehow some way I lost all memory of these rhymes… yet I remember everything else. Now back to the KOTD situation. As I was being interrogated by these agents recently I managed to escape thanks to one of the agents who was a fan of mine. I asked him what his favorite Canibus verse was and he told me that he doesn’t know me as Canibus but rather as Subject 9. This man was kind enough to help me escape but eventually I was hit with some type of dart in the back of my neck and the last thing I remember was falling on the back of my head (hence the stitches). I woke up in the back of a cop car then asked the officers why my head was bleeding and my shoulder felt separated. They said they found me like that and that I should have a better understanding of what happened to me. They asked me if I remembered anything and I told them “No.” It was the safest move to make because they could easily have been disguised agents ordered to see what my mental state was like.

The day of the battle my memory and mental state wasn’t 100% due to these circumstances. I knew this so I brought my copybook to practice the 30 plus pages of infinite rhymes that I had structured for Dizaster. The stitches in the back of my head were hurting me and my shoulder was killing me but The Ripper doesn’t need medication, he controls pain with his mind. At the event I was very confident with the likes of Supernatural behind me and the guy who’s strong stomach was showing- But to protect him from any abduction I won’t reveal his name- Lets just call him Subject 10. The crowd showed me energy as well and as I delivered my first round I could see in Dizaster’s eyes he was intimidated by the mind with the infinite rhyme. Eventually the traumatic effect I suffered days before caught up to me and I could no longer be as sharp as I needed to be. The fans paid money, as did the KOTD staff, so even though there was nothing left in my mental tank, I reached for what is now the infamous notepad and decided to read my infinite rhymes. Needless to say, the results were underwhelming and it didn’t look right, but now, realizing the actions that preceded the event I’m sure you all understand.

Firstly, I want to apologize first to ‘Subject 10’ whose vehicle I abandoned when the agents were approaching me. Secondly, I’d like to apologize to Supernat because I made him come support me and stand behind me for that embarrassment. Thirdly, I’d like to apologize to all The Rippers in attendance who I let down. Finally, I’d like to apologize to Dizaster and the entire KOTD staff. I tried my best and stood there like the solider I am but there was nothing I can do. As I said in the event, I could only do what I can do. For everyone who seems to be making a mockery out of my just- Remember this; dinosaurs once ruled the planet, Rome was once a powerhouse, The Blazers drafted Greg Oden, and every dog has its day. Doubt me and you will be defeated. "

Here's the battle if you didnt get to see it.

UNSIGNED HYPE

I thought it would be a great idea to have an Unsigned Hype segment on the blog: 

to start it off is this rapper from Kimberely (home to Pro-Verb as well) To be honest Ive known of Krossword for a few years now and had never heard him like this... I had listened to his past works but this is a 180* turn for me and my view of him. He recenty teamed up Blaqk Records with my dude Nkululeko (bonafide hustler & hardworker) & there has been some serious changes in his sound... Check out this snippet track that convinced me that HE IS THE NEXT RAPPER TO LOOK OUT FOR. 

About Krossword

Management: Nkululeko (Blaqk Records)
Contact: blaqkrecords@gmail.com OR 0822133996 (Nk)
Discography: Kryptik vol.1 (2006), Kryptik vol.2 (2007), Mental Asylum (2009), Warning Shotz Mixtape (february 2010), Warning Shotz: Reloaded Mixtape (16 November 2010)
Born as Tsepo Mtwana, Krossword is a rap artist from Kimberley, the most prominent one in the small Kimberley Hip Hop Scene. In 2004 he was a member of a crew called Grimey Bandits, and that is when he started recording music. He decided to go solo in 2006 and released his first solo mix tape in Kimberley, titled "Kryptik vol.1". This mix tape made him a household name in the Kimberley hip hop scene; it set the standards for mix tapes that would follow. It is considered a classic by hip hop heads in Kimberley who still listen to it and draw inspiration from it today. He then released the follow up in 2007, Kryptik vol.2, his single "closer" from this mix tape received a lot of airplay from local radio station, Radio Teemaneng, only 100 units of this mix tape were printed and all sold out within 2 weeks
In 2008, Krossword and Rythmik formed a duo and called themselves Skriptomaniakz, they have released a mix tape, "Mental Asylum" which is only available over the net on www.soundclick.com/skriptomaniakz. In 2009, Krossword moved to Johannesburg to pursuit his dream of being a household name in the national and international market. In February 2010 he released a mixtape titled, Warning Shotz, the project did not receive the attention it deserved, so Kross decided to work on new tracks with plans to push it in the mainstream and shoot some music videos, this project is titled, Warning Shotz: Reloaded.
