RIAA cracking down on rap?

In hot news from the wire today, it's now being rumored that the RIAA's cracking down on music-sharing internet users is actually a ploy to secretly destroy rap music.

"For years the recording industry executives have hated rap and they've been constantly trying to find ways to finally remove it from the mainstream", says John Jenkins of Howard University's music department. "At first it started back in the 80's when they made it mandatory to have Parental Advisory stickers on all offensive music CDs", he says.

Apparently, most of the lawsuits that have been filed against music swapping internet users are of those involving rap music and other urban styles. Some of the lawsuits are against other forms of music, but many believe that it's just a way of throwing people off track.

"I knew them niggaz been up to some shit from day one, naw'msayin? That shit is just foul and we all know that Hip-Hop is alive and well and here to stay", said an unnamed beatmaker from right here at IllMuzik. Stay tuned for more updates on this story as it progresses.

Ja Rule's baby secret revealed!

With so many chart-topping hits courtesy of his ruff voiced lyrics, Ja Rule was once a baby model for the popular brand of diapers, Pampers.

"Yes, my boy was in those commercials back in the day when he was little Ja", said Ja Rule's aunt. "We had a hard time with money at the time and food stamps didn't help much so we put him in ads so we could put food on the table", she said.

Ja's camp could not be reached for comment at this time but a few people close to him (besides his aunt) are admitting that this is true. "Yeah Ja told me one night that he did that shit as a kid but I don't know if it was the blunts or the Crystale that was talking, to tell you the truth", said a close friend that wishes to remain nameless.

Chingy not a grad, can't collect his check!

Popular rapper Chingy, of the hit selling song "Right Thurr" is in a whole mess of legal trouble nowadays.

Apparently, Chingy never finished high school, matter of fact he only made it to grade 8 of middle school. Since releasing his solo debut, he hasn't been able to collect any royalties from the recordings due to a legal loophole that was overlooked in the entertainment industry for so many years.

Because of this loophole, anyone that doesn't finish high school is not legally considered an "adult" in the music industry. Now since Chingy is not an "adult", he's not legally eligible to work and file income taxes, so he can't collect any kind of check whatsoever.

"This is straight up bullshit furr real playa", said Chingy by phone interview. "I wurrked too hurrd to not get paid. But I got all my lawyurrs on the case as we speak", he said.

Does this mean we're going to see other rappers in the courtroom trying to collect a check? Probably so!
