What's craccin my internet fam! It's ya girl Shaquueeesha back atcha with that grimy juicy news on What’s What in the world of Hip-Hop. Let's get to it...

SUGE AND ENTOURAGE STAR GO AT IT! That’s right folks. Supposedly the two (Suge Knight and Kevin Connolly) were playfully wrestling at the late-night ESPY after-party thrown by awards host LeBron James at the Mondrian hotel. "Kevin and Suge were wrestling and Suge literally bit Kevin's finger," says a witness. "He was bleeding everywhere. Kevin didn't seem too upset," said the witness, "although he must have been in tons of pain." Looks like "Kevy Kev" Connolly tryin to build that street cred. Go get it boy.

50 CENT AND KANYE WEST GO HEAD TO HEAD ON 9/11. Kanye's Graduation album has been pushed back to September 11. which is the same day Fif's album drops. In a recent interview with Funkmaster Flex Fif says," I hope that they see and understand what’s getting ready to happen. I’m not moving. I’m coming September 11th. If Kanye come that day, then he come that day. That’d be great if he actually stays in that date. I think his people are smart. And he’s smart too. And I think they’ll move… Jay’s not gonna let that happen anyway. He’s not gonna leave him there." Who do you think will sell more copies? I might have to roll with the Diva Kanye on this one.

LIL KIM AND RAY J AN ITEM? Ray J has been spending alot of time and money on the Queen Bee. He reportedly treated his boo to a $20,000 shopping spree on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills earlier this month. Sources also state he organized a surprise birthday party for Lil’ Kim at Los Angeles hotspot Les Deux. The source says, “He treats all the women who are in his life well.” Damm, Ray J be cookin thru that porno money pretty quick. Here's some advice Ray J, Keep them hidden cameras on ya 24/7 boo. You never know when you might have to resort to Part 2 on your porno tales. "Ray J and Lil Kim in tha sheets"...that might set you up for awhile. Get it!

MEDICAL ALERT! There are reports floating around that Dave Chapelle checked into an unnamed hospital, where he remained for 12 hours before returning home. Earlier reports suggested Chapelle had suffered a drug-related medical problem and had checked into rehab, which his spokesperson has denied. His rep told TMZ Chappelle was diagnosed with "physical exhaustion" and received "food, water and sleep" at the hospital. Nothin like having the proper reps get your back like that. Dude was prolly livin large in a hotel somewhere, doing who knows what. Ahhhh, the life of a superstar.
