Many may have recently heard Cannibus get wreck on the mic on the Lost Boyz new song, "Beasts from the East", which landed him a much- deserved Hip Hop Quotable in Source magazine. The album should be hot! 2Pac Sighting: Two years after his "death," Tupac Shakur makes a final appearance on the silver screen in the crime drama, "Gang Related," which will be released on October 8th. As expected, Death Row is producing the soundtrack that features several unreleased 2Pac songs like "Fortune and Fame" and a solo effort from Dogg Pound Gangsta Daz Dillinger, on the track, "Way Too Major". Puffy, Rock, Scissors: New Jack of all trades, Sean "Puffy" Combs will venture into the rock music scene with a remix of his hit, "It's All About the Benjamins," by bringing in Foo Fighter Dave Grohl to play guitar and drums. Also on the remix is one time Replacements bassist Tommy Stinson, and Fuzz Bubble, the first rock act to sign on Bad Boy Records. What's next Puff, remix- ing opera and classical songs? Top 5 Songs: These are my cur- rent favorites and heavy rotations that you should check out: 1) "Put Ya Hands Where I Can See 'Em" – Busta Rhymes; Busta is back, wilder than ever. 2) "Holiday" – EJ Tha Witchdoctor; Witchdoctor is set to continue the Organized Noize tradition. 3) "So Good" – Davina; One of the best songs on the Hoodlum soundtrack. 4) "Up Jumps Da Boogie (Remix)" – Magoo & Timbaland; I love their Red Light, Green Light rapping style. 5) "Love In Ya Mouth" – Kilo Ali; If you haven't heard it yet, get it quick!
