Realfrequency.coms blog reports Raekwon took a few minutes to speak on the situation with Joe Budden in between classics like “Incarcerated Scarfaces”, “Rainy Dayz”, “Daytona 500″, and “Verbal Intercourse”.

After confirming he still has possession of the infamous tape, he went to say the following:

“This is about a kid who gets off on doing blogs. My thing is, I’m a business man, I’m here to make money, take care of my family and keep as many people safe as possible. We not gonna take it there cuz that’s little shit… we are grown men. I will never jump out the window to sacrifice the situation with my family for something that ain’t worth it. I don’t want nobody to hurt that man or do anything to him because I’m so known in so many different places, that’s the easiest shit in the world… I don’t want that. We are going to keep it moving with hip-hop, he knows to respect his elders… that’s it… I got love for him. I love you, Joe Budden.”

He then segued into his verse from “Eye For An Eye”. Hopefully this will mark the end of this fiasco.

Yeah….we will see!!

MICHAEL VICK has signed a two-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, worth about $6.8 million. It’ll be announced at a press conference this morning.

Exactly how Vick will fit in with the Eagles offense is unclear. Everybody’s being pretty vague about it at the moment.

But Eagles quarterback DONOVAN MCNABB who has a somewhat close relationship with Vick described the signing as, quote, “adding another weapon to the offense.”

He also claims he LOBBIED for the Eagles to sign Vick.

Head coach ANDY REID was also quick to deny there would be a, quote, “quarterback controversy” this coming season.

And although he didn’t offer any specifics on how Vick would be used either, he seemed to be pretty adamant that whatever he does, it’ll be from the position of quarterback.

The Eagles already have a solid backup QB for McNabb in KEVIN KOLB. He strained a knee ligament earlier this week, but he’s expected to be back on the field next week.

Vick hasn’t played professional football since 2006. In August of 2007, he was convicted of running a dogfighting operation in Virginia. He did time in prison and under home confinement, and finally walked free on July 20th.

Vick can immediately start practicing and attending meetings with the Eagles but he can’t play for them until the final two preseason games.

Once the season begins, Vick can participate in all team activities EXCEPT GAMES. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is expected to reinstate him by around Week 6 or earlier, if all goes well.

Not surprisingly, PETA isn’t happy about this. Here’s their statement quote, “PETA and millions of decent football fans around the world are disappointed that the Eagles decided to sign a guy who hung dogs from trees.

“He electrocuted them with jumper cables and held them under water. You have to wonder what sort of message this sends to young fans who care about animals and don’t want them to be harmed.”

Let us know what you think of Vick returning to the NFL, leave us a comment below…..

The “New York Times” has published an article claiming that PAULA ABDUL’S decision to leave “American Idol” wasn’t a whim or a negotiating tactic and that her frustration with the show was deeper than just money.

Sure, she reportedly wanted to more than TRIPLE her salary. She had been making around $3 million per season and we’ve heard she wanted to have that bumped to at least $10 million. But there was a reason for that.

A so-called “source close to Paula” says that Paula wanted to make up for an endorsement she lost in 2006 with an unnamed “major fashion label

Supposedly, Paula believed she lost the endorsement because of the persistent substance abuse rumors that resulted from her bizarre and erratic behavior on “Idol”.

And she didn’t feel the show did enough to back her up and shoot down those rumors.

The source says, quote, “She perceived that the incident had a negative impact on her career.” The “Times” also says she felt “undermined and disrespected for years.”

Paula and “Idol” may have been drifting apart for a while now. The “Times” says Paula initially told producers that she would not return unless they could agree on an extension before the end of this past season of “Idol”.

Obviously, that didn’t happen. In fact, as you may remember, in the middle of July, Paula’s manager publicly claimed that she had yet to even receive an offer.

The source adds, quote, “Paula didn’t place as much importance on remaining on the show as some other people did. She thinks there are a lot of opportunities out there for her, and she will be fine without that show.”

Maybe that was mutual. The “Times” quotes a “person close to the negotiations” saying: “A lot of people at Fox had mixed feelings about Paula. Some of the people who were having to deal with her on a day-to-day basis didn’t want her back.”

This is all well and good but you know MONEY is the bottom line. These “frustrations” are really just a result of “Idol” low-balling her.

Does anyone NOT think that if Paula was offered $10 million a year that she’d completely forget about all this or that if “Idol” really wanted her they’d give her a huge raise like they did for RYAN SEACREST and SIMON COWELL?

So what’s Paula’s next move???

There are reports that Paula spent Tuesday afternoon talking with ABC boss Stephen McPherson, who wants her to be a contestant on “Dancing with the Stars”.

For what it’s worth, TMZ claims she won’t be a guest judge on “Dancing”, because she, quote, “doesn’t get along” with judge CARRIE ANN INABA.

–There’s also talk that ABC is thinking about giving Paula her own show, but there aren’t any details on that. (–She’s also in talks to do a guest spot on “Ugly Betty”.)

“People” magazine says NBC is also interested in doing something with her although they didn’t provide any specifics.

And then there’s that speculation about Paula appearing on the fall season of Fox’s “So You Think You Can Dance”. Plus, there are reports that Paula has also received an offer from “AUSTRALIAN Idol”.

And Paula has posted a message on Twitter saying, quote, “I’ve got a busy week filled with network meetings. I’m looking forward to all the new projects up ahead.”

Of course, there are still a lot of people who believe she’ll eventually end up returning to “Idol” and you can count KELLY CLARKSON among them.

In a recent interview, she said, quote, “I totally think they’re doing that for drama. I know those producers they’re doing that for drama. She’s totally probably going to come back.” (Yes, that’s a “totally probably” guarantee from Kelly.)

Last month, KELIS sued NAS for spousal and child support claiming that she had $80,000 in monthly expenses, which she couldn’t afford without Nas’ help.

And now he’s responded, saying that he isn’t as rich as she thinks he is.

For example, Nas is refuting Kelis’ claim that he pulled down $11 million in his last album deal. In his own legal filing, Nas said that he, quote, “did not receive even half that amount.” He says it was more like a $4 million deal.

He also says that his income has been on the DECLINE and now he’s only pocketing around $147,165 a month. That seems like a lot, it’s almost $1.8 million per year, but not if you’re livin’ it up like they do.

Nas says he has over $71,000 in monthly expenses, which includes $10,000 a month in “clothing / hair / toiletries / personal effects.”

So together they need $150,000 a month to survive, and this is BEFORE the baby is born!!

Kelis is due to give birth to their first child a son any day now.

It’s unclear how much Kelis is seeking in spousal and child support but Nas says he’s willing to fork over $5,000 a month in child support.

He also says he wants to be “fully involved” in the parenting of the kid and that he’s already agreed to drop $350 on a stroller, $450 for a baby sling and $1,600 for two baby cribs.

As far as we know, Nas and Kelis are still cool with sharing joint custody.
