Foxy Brown started dissing Lil’ Kim earlier this year because Kim said, “This the shit the other bitch almost got killed for,” a subliminal line to Foxy in her diss song to Nicki Minaj and Drake entitled “Black Friday.” The problem is, no one cares about a Foxy Brown diss record to anyone because people barely care about a Foxy Brown record. Check out the video above. The guys and gals at Jump Off TV made some excellent and valid points. I hope Foxy takes notice. Check out the video above and comment on it below.

Chris Brown “Number One”

 LA-based Singer|Songwriter JCarter is showing a more aggressive side on his New Single “Bend & Break’em” which was produced by Hit-Makers ChrisNTeeb. The singer is introducing the world to his Alter-Ego Young J. III; who happens to be a rapper. JCarter says rapping is another way to express his-self musically. He also seems to have something in common with R&B/Pop Superstar Chris Brown, a track produced by 2011 Grammy-nominated hit-maker Kevin “K-Mac” McCall (@KevinMcCall), who worked on a majority of Chris’s 2010 Mix-tape Fan Of A Fan w/Tyga. JCarter wrote one of his most personal songs to this track titled “Battlefield (Of Love)” which is featured on his 2012 [Mix-tape|Album] JC∆rtēr V§. ¥oūng J. III Never releasing it, Chris later used the same track on his Fan Of A Fan Mix-tape for a song titled “Number One” which is a story of Chris telling a girl; she’s his number one.. which is ironic considering “Battlefield (Of Love)” is about the struggle of JCarter’s 1st love; whom he made his “Number One”. Either way; both songs are amazing, and were produced by a very talented producer, hopefully we’ll get to hear more collaborations from these two in the future.
