KRS-One Relaunches the Stop the Violence Movement

Chamillionaire, David Banner, Nelly and the Game joined KRS-One at the Los Angeles Recording School from February 7-9 to lay down a track as part of the rap legend's relaunch of his Stop the Violence Movement.

KRS-One -- aka the Teacha -- and Boogie Down Productions were the forces behind hip-hop's 1989 anti-violence movement, which produced the song 'Self Destruction,' featuring Public Enemy's Chuck D, MC Lyte, Kool Moe Dee and D-Nice.

According to XXLmag.com, the legendary emcee has also lined up future collaborations with Snoop Dogg, Talib Kweli, 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross and Lil Mama.

Chamillionaire Chimes In on Imus' Return to Radio

Houston rapper Chamillionaire, known for sounding off on touchy topics like racial profiling and recent media attacks on hip-hop through the track 'Hip Hop Police,' appeared on CNN's 'Larry King Live' Monday night via satellite to give his opinion on Don Imus' return to radio, just eight months after calling the Rutgers women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos."

"I think that everybody agrees that Don Imus should not be shot execution style for what he did," Chamillionaire said on CNN. "You can say you're sorry but there still has to be some kind of punishment ... I've yet to see the real punishment. He wouldn't have been fired if there was nothing wrong. The Rutger's girls still have to deal with what he said. It's changed their lives."

Chamillionaire also believes that the controversy helped Imus' career, giving the shock jock more buzz than he had before insulting the Rutgers team.

"Every time I do an interview, I'm forced to talk about Don Imus," the rapper said. "To where before I wouldn't have known who he was ... If there was something I can say right now on CNN; get banned from my recording contact, come back and be larger than life; then tell me what it is and I'll say it right now ... We're promoting Don Imus right now by being here."

Three 6 Mafia Nail Good Charlotte, Shoot for Scorsese

Three 6 Mafia will release their new album, 'Last 2 Walk,' in September, and for the effort, the rappers have loaded up on the guests. Among them: Good Charlotte, Lil Jon, Paul Wall and Chamillionaire. And while you might expect Good Charlotte to bring the rock, they had some unlikely competition. "Lil Jon brought the rawk," DJ Paul tells AOL Music. "That raw --I like it raw."

As Oscar winners though, the duo always keep an eye on film and have a few directors with whom they'd love to collaborate.
