Yo I swear I was about to write a glowing post about DAME D’ASS this week. Something to the effect that without him there would have been no ROC-A-FELLA Records and without him JAY-Z would still be rhyming like one of the Fu-Schnickens, but then ol’ Chicken McNugget head goes and gets himself a new suit, and I’m not talking about one of those rags from RACHEL ROY. Your boy done got himself a lawsuit.

Two Los Angeles producers have filed suit against DAMON DASH claiming he stole their idea for B.E.T.’s hip-hop reality show “Ultimate Hustler”. JOHN COLEMAN and JOHN RHODES filed suit in Los Angeles Superior Court Oct. 11 charging DASH with breach of implied in-fact contract and breach of confidence, AllHipHop.com reports. The lawsuit claims DASH stole the premise for his show from the plaintiffs’ reality show pitch, “Mogul,” which they registered in February 2004 with the Writers Guild of America. They claim they met with DASH in March 2004 and asked if he would be their show’s host and he agreed to keep confidential what they revealed about their show. Before anything was finalized on their show, they claim, DASH got his “Ultimate Hustler” on the cable B.E.T. network. The suit seeking unspecified monetary damages also names B.E.T., Damon Dash Music Group, Dash Films and Huck Films.

KANYE WEST’s ‘Late Registration’, a/k/a ‘GEORGE BUSH doesn’t care about Black people,’ which entered the charts at No. 1 last week after selling 860,000 copies in its first week in stores, continues to top the charts even though second-week sales slipped to 283,000, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Boosted by a new deluxe version, 50 CENT’s ‘The Massacre’ captured the second spot on the chart with sales last week of 154,000 copies. The original edition of ‘The Massacre’ entered the chart at No. 1 in March, thanks to blockbuster first-week sales of 1.1 million.

The album, which fell to No. 35 last week, rebounded thanks to new content that includes videos for all the album’s songs. With last week’s spurt (which reflects sales of both versions of the album), ‘The Massacre’ has now sold 4.5 million copies, which makes it the biggest-selling new release of the year by far.

And just when you thought that former drug dealer and stick-up kid 50 CENT would take his hand out of your pocket, here comes (no homo) his feature length film project.
