Queen B Talks Remy Ma Beef & New Mixtape

The Bee is back in the booth. "I rock rough and stuff, still they put me in cuffs," she rhymes with her feminine ferocity to the approval of the Track Masters, Tone and Poke, who are in the control room in New York's Battery Studios helping Lil' Kim finish the last bit of her new mixtape, Ms. G.O.A.T.

Kim is rapping over Dr. Dre's instrumental to the Lady of Rage's "Afro Puffs." "She's from VA," Kim said of Rage. "A lot of people don't know my moms and pops was born in VA. ... I respect her gangsta, [it's] crazy! So I did it over."

You can also look for remakes of Lauryn Hill's "Lost Ones" and MC Lyte's "Cha Cha Cha" on the mixtape, which is a joint effort between Kim and DJs Whoo Kid and Mister Cee.

"This mixtape is special to me because I do a lot of female-rapper songs over, and it's almost a tribute to them and a thank-you and a shout-out," Kim said. "If no one else is gonna recognize them, I'm gonna recognize the women I looked up to and respect and love. I also got a lot of new songs on there, like the one with me and 50 Cent. It's hot. I'm glad we could do this. He's really a great person. Love you, Fif."

Kim's stance on 50 is a lot different from what she spat on The Naked Truth. The LP was laced with 50 disses. But lo and behold, a few weeks ago the two appeared out of nowhere on a new song called "Wanna Lick (Magic Stick 2)."

"Me and Fif always been really tight. We used to talk on the phone every day," she said about their relationship before their most recent falling-out and reconciliation. "He placed a call to me and I thought it was very big of him, and it was all very respectful. When we were on the phone with each other, we were being very careful to not step on each other's words. It's like the best reunion I think I ever had with a friend. He's really a good person. He had this idea [for the song] and he said, 'Don't nobody do it like you, Bee. I wanna make this "Magic Stick" part two.' Me and Fif got some surprises for y'all."

But just because Kim and 50 have made up, don't go looking for any Kim and Remy Ma collabos anytime soon. Kim just dissed Remy on a freestyle over 50 Cent's "I Get Money." The Queen Bee said it was retaliation.

"At the end of the day, I'm not gonna sit there and not say nothing," Kim said. "I spoke how I felt. She can take it how she wanna take it. She goes in on me, I go in back. It ain't even nothing to think about. At the end of the day, it's on wax, but whatever ... because if you go in on me, I got the right to go in on you — bottom line! Next! I don't even look at it as competition."

Kim and Remy were at least cordial at one point. "A lot of people was coming to me like, 'Why you say something about Remy?' ... These chicks kill me," she said. "One minute they wanna be my friend, then the next minute they on the radio going in on me. The next minute they on songs going in on me. I can't let nobody take that away from me. It's only but so much you can take."

Kim's tone gets playful when she talks about the title of female G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time). "I'm the hottest bi*ch out," she says in a playful whisper. "I'm real cocky these days, huh? I'm loving it.

"Shout out to all the females in the game," she added. "All females should have the right to be cocky and boast about what they do. One person might be the best at what they do. Trina is the best at what she does. She's the baddest bi*ch in the South. Missy is the baddest bi*ch, I'm the baddest bi*ch. It's gotta be love for the next person — love and work. It's art. At the end of the day, it is what it is."

Kim is almost out of her recording contract with Atlantic Records and says she might have a new album out as early as February. [x]

Ashanti Talks About New Songs Off Her Upcoming Album

Ashanti talked about a few new songs on her upcoming album "The Declaration" titled "Struggle", "Good Good", and "Crime".

Ashanti says that "Struggle" is one of her favorite songs on the album, it talks about about being in a relationship and you have your suspicions that the other person may be unfaithful, but at the end of the day you really love this person and its hard because you keep crying but you are really in love at the same time.

"Crime" is a song about a girl who finds herself in a wrong relationship, and finds out that she's in a relationship with a married man.

And "Good Good" is an up-tempo song that talks about keeping your man satisfied. Ashanti also said that a video for 'Hey Baby (After The Club)' should be released before the end of December. [x]

Below is a video of Ashanti performing a new song titled "The Way I Love You" at the Nokia Theater. Song was supposedly produced by L.T. Hutton, who has done work with 2pac and Krayzie Bone amongst others. From what I'm hearing, this might be the second single. Thoughts?

HIV Is On The Rise

Today is World Aids Day (December 1st). Worlds Aids Day is dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic. Since it originated in 1988, there have been countless organizations and charities that have helped the cause by promoting awareness. "AIDS has killed more than 25 million people, with an estimated 38.6 million people living with HIV, making it one of the most destructive epidemics in recorded history."

The rate of new infections among gay men under 30 in New York City rose 33 percent from 2001 to 2006.

The number of gay and bisexual men in the U.S. with HIV or AIDS has risen 13 percent in just the last four years.

Each year 3,000 adolescents contract sexually transmitted diseases, which is about one in four sexually experienced teens.

Black women represented 67% of AIDS diagnoses in women in 2006, though they make up just 12-13% of the population.

In the 50 states and the District of Columbia, an estimated 14,216 black men were diagnosed with AIDS in 2005, compared to 10,852 white men, 6,558 Hispanics, 444 Asian/Pacific Islanders and 152 Native Americans. This means that black men made up 44% of AIDS diagnoses in men during 2005.

Be safe ya'll. Wrap it up. It's your life. Know who you're getting involved with. It is YOUR life and it is in YOUR hands. Hopefully we find a cure for this horrible disease really soon, but until then all you can do is protect yourself and get tested.
