Khia, disqualified
Miss Rap Supreme contestant and author of "My Neck, My Back," has launched a busload of blog beef, occasioned in part by her leaving Big Cat Records two weeks before the release of her new album,
Nasti Muzik 08. She claims that the label wrote her a bad check and gave her nothing in the way of promotion. "So guess what????? Say hello to my little Jewish friend........ You know dat Im gonna laugh all the way to the bank dontcha??? Yall betta have all yall receipts, invoices and budgets together.... Cuz Im bout to sue the hell out yall assess!!!!!!" Khia also takes issue with those who
haven't signed her, like Jermaine Dupri, who claimed on Hot 97 that Khia was "ungrateful" for the attention she received from being on Janet Jackson's 2006 flop "So Excited." Khia, unsurprisingly, thinks the
real problem is that Dupri's gay and Jackson's menopausal. "Now run and tell dat!!!!!! Nasti Muzik 08!!!!!"

(Or at least he has the "new entry" page bookmarked on his MacBook Air.) A timeline of how this all came to be after the jump.

Is Justice "blog house"? Are The Teenagers? And what about that "Summer Girls" song by LFO? All these questions are answered in Hipster Runoff's handy rundown of the genre, which also looks at the state of music blogging today: "BLOGS are great for finding new music, and reading the opinions of people who don't even matter (just like U!). Love all yall blogs, whether or not yall are creating blog house bands or not. Just as long as the music is free, and the content stream is consistent, that's all any1 rlly wants.... Good thing blogs don't write 2 much and appeal to the attention span of Generation Y. Love yall for buying so much stuff and being a demographic that advertisers want 2 reach." There's nothing like true emotions that are lubricated by desirable metrics, right? [
