LUDACRIS -N- DJ DRAMA.....GANGSTA GRILLZ....THE PREVIEW!!!!

With a new album on the verge of being released the leader of DTP has linked up with the Apphilates main DJ [DJ Drama] to bring us all a preview of what's in store from the master of rap music with a "Gangsta Grillz" mixtape. Check it out below.

Here's what Drama and Luda told MTV News:

Ludacris still feels that he is still on top of his game lyrically:

“I feel there is no rap style I cannot do,” ‘Cris said in Atlanta, standing next to DJ Drama during a round of pool. “Unlimited amounts of ways I can come on the microphone. I feel like I’m the best doing the damn thing.

Ludacris and Drama are putting the last touches on Luda’s new mixtape, The Preview.

“Album number six is on the way. It’s called Theater of the Mind,” Luda said. “So with that said, we got the mixtape, The Preview — the preview to the damn movie. It’s all about lyrical exercise. I been gone, opening up a restaurant [in Atlanta], doing a couple of movies here and there, just a little bit of everything. It’s time to get back in the music game. It’s been a long time, but we back on that ass.

“You gonna get a mixture of freestyles, new songs, snippets from Theater of the Mind, [past] songs where samples couldn’t clear and make the album, but they still crazy-ass records. And me and Barack O’Drama talking a gang of sh–. It’s as simple as that.”

“The first-ever Luda/ DJ Drama Gangsta Grillz!” Dram jumped in. “This sh– is history. It’s the preview, the coming attractions. Get your popcorn. This time, [the production of the tape] worked out through the conversation. Luda already had the concept of the tape, it being the preview … for the Theater of the Mind. When I heard [the word] ‘preview,’ my mind started immediately racing of how we should put it together. I said, ‘Every beat, everything you get on has to be a movie.’ On the microphone, he’s already a monster, so it’s kind of an easy thing. I like to give everything a beginning, middle and end. With a concept like The Preview, ['Cris] kinda made it too easy.”

RICK ROSS 'THE BOSS'.....PRISON BLOCK BOSS.....DENIES EX-CORRECTIONAL OFFICER CLAIMS

By Charlie Rem
Rick Ross has charged that images depicting him as a young correctional officer are totally fabricated, the result of savvy graphic artists.



He told AllHipHop.com exclusively, "My life is 100% real. These online hackers putting a picture of my face when I was a teenager in high school on other peoples' body. If this s**t was real don't you think they would have more specifics, like dates and everything?”



Earlier, a single image was in circulation on the internet suggesting that Ross previously worked as a correctional officer at an unnamed jail or prison.



The Miami-based rap artist, known for his gritty street rhymes, said envious people have conspired against him for his success and stature.



“I'm in the entertainment business and a lot of people who like to hate because I'm on top of my game,” Ross told AllHipHop.com. “Like I said before my life is 100% real. I live by this die by this. Fake pictures are created by the fake, meant to entertain the fake."



While the image appears very realistic, boxer Oscar De La Hoya was involved in a similar scandal that made the pugilist appear to be a cross dresser.



The images were proven to be doctored and De La Hoya was completely exonerated. Ross is already moving on.



He stated that he was working on a new album called Deeper Than Rap, which would come at an undetermined date in the near future.

BUCKEEY SPEAKS OUT ON 'SEX TAPE'

STEAL(KINGSMEN) -N- SHAY(BUCKEEY)

Former Flavor of Love Season 2 and Charm School standout Buckeey has broken her silence about her leaked sex tape, which was distributed throughout the internet in June.



In an exclusive interview, Buckeey, real name Shay Johnson, is steadfast in stating the tape’s distribution was done without her permission, and she had no intention of using it for publicity as some have claimed.



“It troubled me to find out my intimate act of love was classified as a sex tape. I didn’t speak on it because I knew how tender the situation was between me and my partner,” Buckeey revealed to AllHipHop.com. “I didn’t want to point fingers at anyone or come out with any names because it was then and still is very much my personal business.”



Buckeey gained notoriety as the short tempered, potential beau of legendary Public Enemy hypeman Flavor Flav on the reality series Flavor of Love.



In season two, Flav eliminated Buckeey after she had a dangerous fight with another contestant and nearly pushed her off a second story balcony.



Since the tape, Buckeey has had to deal with heckling and graphic questions about her sex life she was not prepared to deal with.



In order to repair her reputation, she feels this is no longer an issue she can ignore.



“Over these past few weeks I have been tortured by strangers about what happened, who was I with, did I release the tape on purpose to get publicity, can I prove to them it was me and multiple other random and indecent requests and questions,” Buckeey explained. “So I’m forced to make a statement. Once you become a personality on television you become the target of haters and I am no different, the release of the tape was done by a hater, stolen by a hater and is just another blatant case of b***chassness.”



In the end, Buckeey hopes that fans and media alike will remember the two human beings involved that have had their lives turned upside down by the leak.



She asks that her privacy be respected and her fans to continue their support for her entertainment aspirations.



“The truth is what I did was out of love for someone and for he and I to share and reflect on. It was never meant for thousands of people to view and make comments on,” she reasoned. “So from this point the concentration should be on where I’m going not what I did. All I ask is for my fans to continue to love me and the haters can keep their job too.”



Shay “Buckeey” Johnson has appeared in Hip-Hop videos like “Ms. New Booty,” by Bubba Sparxxx, “Shoulder Lean” by Young Dro and T.I. and “Happy Hour” featuring Jazze Pha and Cee Lo and others.
