Jay-Z and Eminem. They’re certainly the biggest concerts Detroit has seen this year: a pair of tag-team evenings with Eminem and Jay-Z at Comerica Park.

A total of more than 80,000 fans will descend onto the stadium tonight and Friday for the hip-hop spectaculars, which some are calling the most important rap concerts in history.

For Eminem, whose 2005 show at Comerica Park preceded a rocky few years off the public radar, this week culminates a triumphant comeback that has propelled him back to the top of the charts. And for hometown fans, it’s a chance for the sort of larger-than-life party that Detroit knows how to do well.

Im sure this will be the Concert of the Year, they are doing 4 shows and all are sold out. Only these 2 could pack 80,000 into a Hip Hop show. All of young money Lil Wayne,Nicki and Drake could not come close to filling a stadium up.

Group 1 Crew wants to make music you can take to a party.

“We wanted to give Christian kids a record they can be proud of,” says Manwell Reyes, one-third of the Christian hip-hop trio that is playing Questapalooza for the second straight year. “They know it’s God. Everything we write is God. But at the same time, we want them to have the full confidence that they can play it in front of their friends and know that it’s legit. They don’t have to worry about anyone saying, ‘That sounds dated,’ or ‘That sounds whack.’”

As purveyors of urban music, Group 1 is something of a rarity in Christian pop music, a genre still mostly composed of adult contemporary music and rock acts.

Reyes says he thinks urban music gets a bad rap in the Christian market from gatekeepers such as church leaders and record company executives who can’t separate the style from negative images of sex and violence associated with mainstream hip-hop.

“Go to any church kid and look at their iPod, and I guarantee that some urban pop or hip-hop is going to be there,” says Reyes, whose bandmates are Blanca Reyes (no relation) and Pablo Villatoro. “Secular urban music is what’s prominent today. … The church is the only place that doesn’t acknowledge that it is.”

Reyes says it is a problem if the Christian market is not producing music that the kids want to hear.

Group 1 Crew has done fairly well in the Christian market. The act’s last album, Ordinary Dreamers, was named rap/hip-hop album of the year at the 2008 Dove Awards, Christian music’s top honors.

With the band’s new album, Outta Space Love, due Sept. 21, Reyes says the group is taking aim at the mainstream market.

“We’ve always felt called to the mainstream,” says Reyes, who promises that Sunday’s Questapalooza audience will hear quite a bit of the new album. “We feel like our music is for more than just the church. We feel like we should outreach to a mainstream world where other music really isn’t the best for kids to hear.

“Let’s not be content with just packing churches. Let’s go save some souls and grab some kids out of hell.”

His lawyer Lynda Jones sent a statement to Nashville’s The City Page saying that Buck, whose real name is David Darnell Brown, intends to pay off his bankruptcy and sue 50 Cent .

“Mr. Brown intends to reorganize his debts and pay off the IRS in a timely manner through Chapter 13. We hope to secure the return of his personal property quickly. He will also be filing a lawsuit in the next 30-60 days against his former manager, G Unit label and Mr. Curtis Jackson.

“There are a few procedural hurdles we need to address in handling these matters, but they will ironed out shortly. I will be associating attorneys Amy Everhart and Jennifer Lawson for the litigation. Both have excellent experience.”

Young Buck has been trying to get off the label and release a new album since 2007.

In a filing with Nashville’s U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Young Buck cited as a $5 million contingent his claim against Bruce Seckendorf, G Unit Inc., Curtis Jackson III and Michael Clervoix.

The principles in the new label are CEO/President Joaquin “Waah” Dean, Director of Operations Dedra Tate and Directors of Marketing, Tenisha Rae and Alimah Samsid-Deen.

According to representatives from Double XXposure PR, the company that officially represents Ruff Ryders Indy, the label will be distributed by Fontana/Universal, with a focus on mentoring new and independent labels.

Ruff Ryders Indy will provide marketing, street promotion, radio promotion and product management, in addition to educational programs offered to label CEO’s to help build their brands.

As one of the founders of Ruff Ryders in 1988, Joaquin Dean helped introduce artists like DMX, Eve, Swizz Beatz, The Lox, Drag-On and others into pop culture, selling over 20 millions of records in the process.

Ruff Ryders Indy’s roster consists of Drag-On, Mook, Shella, Flashy and Lil Joaquin.

This week, the label will conduct a press day to reveal more details about their roster and the new label’s plans for the future.

While an official confirmation has yet to surface, reports have begun circulating online.

A source just told us that 50 Cent has let Young Buck out of his contract with G-Unit. In April 2008 50 Cent announced on Hot 97 that Young Buck was kicked out the group, but was still contractually signed to G-Unit. Since that time, Buck has been unable to release any commercial music. Buck is currently working his new single “My Campaign”, produced by Drumma Boy. It will be interesting what he does with his new position. If he can get singles reacting on the radio, he get into a good position.

Promising no ill will toward Foster, Usher was still appreciative for his time with her.

“I appreciate the relationship for what it was,” he says. “Even though it didn’t work out, I’m glad we got together. I love her as the mother of my children; we just couldn’t be married. We’re two different people — and we have two different goals. It just was never going to work out 100 percent. We had to put our issues aside and focus on raising [our sons]. There will never be another mother for my sons, and I’ll always be their father.

Writing via Twitter, Budden did not take the “announcement” seriously.

“@drakkardnoir @nickiminaj both of y’all are full of sh*t …… congrats tho.”

“its really sad how stupid rappers think fans are ………….” (Joe Budden’s Twitter)

They’re not married. Its just two friends having fun, pulling the twitter fire alarm on a Summer Friday. I actually think Nicki and Drake would make a cute couple but Nicki has been rumored to be lesbian as videos have leaked have showed. Meanwhile Drake has been rumored to be hanging out with actress Taraji Henson.

Hip Hop is getting more wack by the minute. How the hell has Hip Hop been reduced to Nicki Minaj and Canadien actor Drake being relevant in rap ? It a sad day for Hip Hop these days.

The Game has once again aired out Kat Stacks, hurling disses at the self-proclaimed rap groupie via Twitter.

In his messages, Game blasts Stacks’ image and role as a mother.

“@ihatekatstacks B*TCH, wantin u 2 catch AIDS & die is probably the only thing me & @50cent got n common. Go swallow a teaspoon of rat poison,” Game tweeted Thursday (August 26).

“@ihatekatstacks B*tch you are a tour bus. “ya p*ssy smell like the exhaust, ya a**hole BLOWN like a tire & you can fit 30 n*ggas in you.”

“@ihatekatstacks One day you gone Internally Drown in all that cum in ya stomach. More kids in ya stomach then all the projects in New York.” (Game’s Twitter)

Stacks proceeded to defend herself and taunted Game with a handful of tweets.

“Your mom taught me how to suck d*ck & your dad taught me how to get money when a d*ck up my a** @thegame,” she tweeted yesterday.

“B*tch what are you talking my son is at home with me go f*ck your dead grandmother @thegame.”
