The Inside Scoop on this week in Hip Hop.

Week of: 5/14-5/18
Written By: Natalie Hinds

Welcome back to another edition of the Inside Scoop on What’s What in Hip-Hop. Let’s jump right in shall we?

The Incredible Foxy Brown is up to her old antics again! Apparently she almost ran over a mother and baby with a silver Range Rover in Brooklyn, NY. Although Brown did not hit the woman, who’s identity is unconfirmed, she proceeded to the nearby police department to issue a complaint. According to her DMV records, Foxy Brown’s license is currently revoked for failing to respond to several unpaid tickets. Tisk, tisk, tisk….I know she’s in dire need of publicity but c’mon Foxy not all publicity is good publicity. Get a grip on things girl!

Hip Hop Mogul, Sean “Jay-Z” Carter has found another “face” of his Rocawear clothing line! The newly evolved Ciara has recently inked a new deal to become the face of the Rocawear women’s line. The new campaign titled, “I Will Not Lose,” will feature a host of testimonials by individual’s that have risen above various hardships. “I love Rocawear,” said Ciara to US Magazine. “The clothes are so cute….I am so happy to be able to do the campaign.” Ads featuring Ciara are slated to launch later this year.

Pastor Troy has been forced to change the name if his album! The name has changed from “Saddam Hussein” to “Tool Muziq”. “The ‘Saddam’ title was just a metaphor for how I was comin back for my shit, hostile takeover-style,”said the Atlanta rapper in a statement. “I’m gonna bring genocide to the rap game. It wasn’t political or anything like that.” The name change was sparked due to the refusal of a number of retail chains to sell his album. Although the name change has put a delay on the album’s release, Pastor Troy still eagerly anticipates the release of his long awaited album. The album is slated to hit stores this summer.
