Some news falls through the cracks, or it's over looked at first, so here's a run down of things that popped off this week that you may not know about.

R.I.P. Mike Beck

The Diddy / Ciroc deal has been extended. In 2008 the partnership sold a whopping $20 Billion worth of vodka, and other Ciroc related merchandise.

Jay-Z and Alicia Keys rocked Yankee Stadium, but I don't know if ALicia was trying to look like Barney the Purple Dinosaur or not.

The company that now makes Rocawear, Iconix has bought a majority stake in Ecko.

The Lox seem to be dropping an album on Bad Boy. Very, very interesting.

Joe Budden had thi to say about Beain Sigel's "diss" sonf toward Jigga:

"Beanie Sigel going at Jay-Z, huh. Is that what it's come to in hip-hop? Hip-Hop is f*cking wack. Why he ain't never go at him before, that's what I wanna know. That sh*t is weak. N*ggas dissing Jay-Z is weak. Aight, I don't wanna hear that sh*t. Beans is nice and I like Beans, I just feel like n*ggas dissing Hov is pointless and mind you, I'm very aware that I dissed Hov countless times, I dissed Hov a bunch of times. I am so so aware of that. I did not diss Hov recently...I've matured, Jay is d*mn near a billionaire and he just performed at Yankee Stadium, diss him for what? Even if you rap better than Jay-Z, which some people do today, you're gonna lose. If you go against Jay-Z, the fight is automatically fixed and I really like Jay-Z and I really like The Blueprint 3 for the most part, killed the intro, he's got a bunch of songs on there I really like...You take Jay-Z away from hip-hop, what do you have? Is it the same? No."

Soulja Boy has some new stuff coming featuring Kanye and Drake.

Someone was shot outside of a J.R. Writer concert in Elmira, New York.

50 Cent's "Before I Self Destruct" leaked crazy style ALL over the internet, but the overall response has been decent.
