Lupe Fiasco has returned...maybe. An indie/punk-style band randomly surfaced called Japanese Cartoon.
They released a Myspace bulletin which 'dispelled' these rumours, claiming Lupe only 'finances the band, and does their production.' Sounds ludicrous? It is. Head over to http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=440389226 and listen to their songs (especially Heirplanes) to make your own judgement.
Secondly, the battle that was hyped up on here long ago rages on. 50 Cent vs. Lil' Wayne. If you have some spare time, head to the following link to hear a radio interview with 50, whereby he goes in pretty hard on Lil' Wayne, as well as a few shots at Kanye. He does however talk some sense at certain points, especially about Wayne not acknowledging 'Louisianimal'.
Listen to the interview here: http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhaqRtC7MEvFl76jbE.
To finish with, Mark Hoppus of Blink-182 fame has done a very revealing interview with MTV.com recently which gave some clue as to whether a Blink-182 reunion would ever happen, and the future of +44.
When asked about a Blink reunion, it was said that 'the future is wide open.' I think most fans of Blink/+44/Angels and Airwaves always believed that somewhere down the line they will reunite, and this only adds to that belief.
When asked about +44, an answer was given that very few people will have expected: Hoppus is going solo. Although he didn't say +44 was over, he did say that both himself and Travis Barker want to finish their solo albums first. It was common knowledge that Travis Barker had an album coming, but Hoppus' first solo effort was not. They've been working on tracks with one another too, so I'd imagine this could turn out very well for them both.

on the 50 v wayne topic... weezy aint getting involved
http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.6908/title.lil-wayne-talks-50-cent-cocaine-rock-music
im glad he aint tbh, its not his style. people like gillie the kid have had beef with him in the past and been open about it but weezy just stays silent and doesnt get bothered.
Problem: that interview is from last May. There was rumblings of beef back then, but nothing as direct as now.
In honesty, Wayne seems to be the one to have spurred this whole thing off and brought it back with Louisianimal, a point 50 Cent makes correctly in the radio interview I posted.
Wayne changes his mind minute-to-minute too, Eminem for example: Wayne explicitly stated (there's a video somewhere, and various interviews) that Eminem was 'too scared' to do a track with him. A few months later, he claims he didn't say it (again, on another video).
The syrup gets to his head...
Maybe he's just bi-polar like The Game..
