[[tmz:video id="0_xp7rmkba"]] Houston rapper Lil' Flip thinks Donald Trump's haters need to spend less time dogging the Prez and more time pitching in with Hurricane Harvey relief. As you know ... critics blasted Trump's Texas visit for making a remark on crowd size instead of getting his feet wet and helping with rescue efforts. Seems Flip has a soft spot for Trump, although he might want to check the status of local airports. Most were closed for...

In this music video for the Pixels soundtrack single, "Game On," once-presidential hopeful Waka Flocka Flame has summoned a veritable squad of classic video-game legends, including everyone from Donkey Kong to Frogger to Pac-Man, to let you know that ... the game will be on come July 24. Oh, and catchy-anthem-maker Good Charlotte is also in this thing (which features lots of rad footage from the movie). No offense to Waka, but it seems like it was a missed opportunity to not have renowned video-game expert Lil' Flip also spit some lines on this. Maybe for the inevitable Pixels 2.

Perhaps Lil Flip should try to stay within the speed limit. The 31-year-old rapper, whose real name is Wesley Eric Weston, got into more trouble than he bargained for when he was reportedly pulled over for speeding in Shreveport, La., and ended up getting busted for allegedly having drugs and an assault rifle in tow. Lil Flip was reportedly driving 86 mph in a 75 mph zone when cops stopped him in his 2010 Dodge Challenger, and allegedly found marijuana and an illegally owned Bushmaster Ar-15 assault rifle in his vehicle, according to the Shreveport Times. The Houston hip-hop star and his passenger were both arrested, with Lil Flip getting booked on charges of speeding, third-offense...

T.I. has been involved in his fair share of rap beef. From Lil' Flip to Ludacris to Shawty Lo, Tip has held his own against some pretty serious dudes, but when it comes to the attacks from rookie female Mc Azealia Banks, the Trouble Man wants no part of it.
Banks took exception when T.I.'s new artist Iggy Azalea landed the 2012 Xxl Freshman cover earlier this year. The Harlem rapper had no problem lashing out at Iggy via Twitter, and when Tip defended his new protégé on DJ Drama's radio show in March, Banks fired shots at the King too.

Headliner: Kanye West
Key Cameos: Big Sean, Charlie Wilson, CyHi the Prynce, Lloyd Banks, Mos Def, Ryan Leslie and more.
Essential Info:
Will the G.O.O.D. Fridays music series eventually become a mixtape? Who knows? We thought tracks like "Devil in a New Dress" and "Monster" were just gems Yeezy was giving his fans for free. Then he went and put both on the forthcoming My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy LP.
So Kanye doesn't seem to know entirely what to make of the weekly deliveries he's been posting on his blog since August. According to the producer, the tracks...

Apparently, Hollywood thinks American wants an adventure in a desert. Thursday (May 27) saw the opening of "Sex and the City 2" (most of which takes place in Abu Dhabi), and today sees the release of "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time," which also spends most of its time in the middle of the desert. The latter (perhaps best thought of as a male counterpart to "Sex and the City 2") casts Jake Gyllenhaal as the heroic Dastan, a heroic character who must battle his evil adopted uncle Nizam (played by Ben Kingsley). It's based on a hugely popular and innovative video game series, so the flick features plenty of jumpy action and pretty-looking stunts.
For that kind of adrenaline rush, you should really prepare yourself with a batch of film-appropriate tunes. That's why we've put together the video playlist below, which brings together one of the best songs ever...

It's been a while since we heard from singer Monica. After a platinum-spiked career in the 1990s with hits like "Angel of Mine," "Don't Take It Personal" and her duet with Brandy on "The Boy Is Mine," the 29-year-old singer has struggled to regain momentum after a series of setbacks that included the 2000 suicide of her boyfriend, Jarvis "Knot" Weems, and the reported clashes with her label over her 2006 comeback attempt, The Makings of Me.
According to a Vibe magazine profile, though, 2000 was also the same summer the Grammy-winning singer reconnected with her former boyfriend and current fiancé, rapper Rodney "Rocko" Hill Jr., the father of her two sons, Rodney III and Romello, and the co-star of her new Bet reality series. The show, "Still Standing,...

This literally may be one of the worst film ideas in recent memory. I feel like I'm really grumpy lately and have been extra hard on Hollywood peeps--not like they care--but please folks, listen to this: Queen Latifah is set to star in Just Wright, as a physical therapist who finds herself falling in love with a professional basketball player--played by Common--while rehabilitating him from a career-threatening injury. This may be the first time in history that two rappers star in a romantic comedy together, not counting when Trick Daddy and Lil' Flip starred in Steven Spielberg's Fried Gravy.
