An excerpt from Shaq‘s upcoming autobiography reveals that he once threatened to kill his now ex-teammate Kobe Bryant.  Apparently Bean was upset that Shaq and the Lakers didn’t stand behind him when he was going through his whole Colorado rape trial even on a superficial “public support” level.  But the rest of this piece shows that there was a lot of tension going on behind closed doors with the crew.  Anyway peep below from CBS Sports.

Kobe stands up and goes face-to-face with me and says, “You always said you’re my big brother, you’d do anything for me, and then this Colorado thing happens and you never even called me.” I did call him. … So here we are now, and we find out he really was hurt that we didn’t stand behind him. That was something new. I didn’t think he gave a rat’s ass about us either way. “Well, I thought you’d publicly support me, at least,” Kobe said. “You’re supposed to be my friend.”

Brian Shaw chimed in with “Kobe, why would you think that? Shaq had all these parties and you never showed up for any of them. We invited you to dinner on the road and you didn’t come. Shaq invited you to his wedding and you weren’t there. Then you got married and didn’t invite any of us. And now you are in the middle of this problem, this sensitive situation, and now you want all of us to step up for you. We don’t even know you.” … Everyone was starting to calm down when I told Kobe, “If you ever say anything like what you said to Jim Gray ever again, I will kill you.”

Kobe shrugged and said, “Whatever.”

Thankfully the  Black Mamba was never assassinated, because Shaq would’ve went to prison and he would’ve found out how someone’s ass taste.

Here is the audio from when Ray-J went on Power 105 and got crazy about his beef with Fabolous.  I am trying to figure all of the key funny parts of this audio (If i’m missing any please leave them in the comments section, thanks).

If this is any indication of how the rest of Nick Cannon‘s show is going to be, I want no parts of it. I would throw my television set out the window.  This shit isn’t funny at all. Mad pity laughter from the audience! Anyway, he talks about how his grandfather calls Eminem “Enema” and how he would have shot him instead of beefing on Twitter. Next.

My bad if you still want to watch it, Mr. Showbiz comes on Saturday, May 14th at 9PM ET on Showtime.

Crooked I tells Hard Knock TV’s Devi Dev his favorite hip hop albums, addresses beef with Wu-Tang including what happened back stage at last years Rock The Bells concert between Slaughterhouse and Wu-Tang.

At a book signing for his new book “My Infamous Life” in Washington D-C, Prodigy spoke about how he almost got into a fight with Jay-Z outside of a Justin’s restaurant in New York just months after Hov dissed him at Hot 97’s Summer Jam concert back in 2001.

P says that when he saw Jay approaching, his first thought was to “treat him like a rag dog,” but Hov — who was with two bodyguards — waved the white flag asking him to “keep it on wax.”

P says that he then decided to agree to Hov’s request, even though he was there with his goons and could’ve taken them on.

What I want to know is this…what is the “whole other” issue he says that he’s upset over?
