This girl is hot, reminiscent of a female Andre Benjamin. She came to Boston University recently to speak about not fitting into the mold and I am still slightly resentful of missing her. Her music is weird, out of this world, but so necessary. She has even garnered the attention of heavyweights such as Big Boi and Diddy. (People will probably recognize her more now from her guest appearance on “I Want to Work for Diddy,” but if so, please don’t admit that. Just say you heard it here first.) So, if you weren’t up on her before, there’s no excuse now.

Lil Wayne can’t get an Eminem verse, but Trick Trick sure can. Amid rumors that he’s providing protection for Em in exchange for guest verses, production and an unofficial co-sign, Trick Trick took time to talk with XXLMag.com to clear up the speculations.

Em has always been selective with collaborations, but Trick has been fortunate enough to spit alongside his fellow Detroiter on “Welcome To Detroit City” and more recently on “Who Want It.” Legend has it that Trick may have provided muscle for Slim in the past, allegedly running former Source honcho Raymond “Benzino” Scott out of Detroit when he rode around the city digging for dirt on the rapper a few years back.

“That’s some bullshit,” Trick told XXLMag.com. “If you fuck with him I’ll bust your head but it’s not like I’m just protecting him. That’s my friend. I ride for all my friends.”

Trick once again found himself in the middle of goon business when reports spread that he snatched Yung Berg’s Autobot chain in a scuffle at Plan B nightclub in Detroit last summer. Pictures of his friends, his brother and even his daughter rocking the chain floated all over the internet after he repeatedly denied involvement in the fight. He did confirm that the pictures were real, however.

“My daughter was properly grounded for that,” Trick revealed. “I had put the chain up in my house and I didn’t put it so far up. Then my daughter decide she want to take pictures with it before she go to school.”

Reuters reports RZA and Dallas Jackson are co-producing a remake of Berry Gordy's cult classic martial arts film, The Last Dragon. Few details have emerged thus far, but Samuel L. Jackson has confirmed he will reprise the part of Sho'nuff the Shogun of Harlem. Dallas Jackson, whose previous film works include production on I, Robot and Norbit, is currently writing the script.

"I'm a huge fan of the original and look forward to bringing Sho'Nuff into the 21st century," says Jackson.

The as-yet-untitled project will be included as part of Motown's 50th anniversary next year. After its release in 1985, the original Last Dragon grossed nearly $26 million. There is currently no word on if RZA will score the film as well. The Wu-Tang Clan's primary beatsmith has previously scored Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill and also Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai. RZA and Samuel L. Jackson will also be working on the sequel to the Anime movie Afro Samurai, which is expected to be released in 2009.

 RIP to Julius Carry who passed this August due to pancreatic cancer.
