The controversial rapper is ready to make his big comeback to mainstream. He’ll reportedly be performing at the upcoming BET Awards on June 27th.

Destiny’s Child will not be reuniting, Beyonce’s father Matthew Knowles has said.

There had been speculation online that Beyonce, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, who went their own ways in 2006, would be performing together once again but manager Matthew quashed the rumours.

“Contrary to rumours online of a Destiny’s Child reunion, there are no plans for the group to reunite for a performance or album – the rumours are false,” he told Entertainment Tonight.

We still have hope for a reunion even if it happens in 10 years time!!!

The World of Hip Hop has lost one of its greatest artists!!!
Rapper Keith “Guru” Elam, best known as the former frontman of the group Gang Starr, died after a long bout with cancer on April 19, leaving behind a letter to his fans and prompting an outpouring of love on the web.
Guru and his Gang Starr partner DJ Premier helped define the sound of New York’s underground hip hop scene in the 1990s, according to MTV.

“Their unique sound combined Premier’s production palette, which leaned heavily on sampled jazz records and scratched vocals on the choruses, with Guru’s uncompromising rhymes,” MTV’s Gil Kaufman reports. MTV has put up a collection of interviews with Guru, including one in which he discusses hip hop’s influence on pop culture.
Guru’s longtime collaborator Solar released a statement, saying, “The world has lost one of the best MCs and hip-hop icons of all-time — my loyal best friend, partner, and brother, Guru. Guru has been battling cancer for well over a year and has lost his battle!”
Solar says the rapper wrote a letter to his fans while in the hospital. “I, Guru, am writing this letter to my fans, friends and loved ones around the world,” it starts. “I have had a long battle with cancer and have succumbed to the disease. I have suffered with this illness for over a year. I have exhausted all medical options.”

RIP Brother!!!
