"I feel like new blood. I feel like something special," French Montana says as he sits in a conference room at Interscope Records in Santa Monica, Ca. He's responding to a question about how it feels to be a new artist on the legendary Bad Boy Records that over the years has boasted a roster that included Notorious B.I.G., Faith Evans, 112, Black Rob and Danity Kane.

"Honestly, I feel like people want to see new blood," he continues. "I feel like everybody got something to bring to the table and Puff is like Phil Jackson. He's gone show you what way to go to get to the championship."

Puff aka Sean "Diddy" Combs has indeed provided some guidance for the Bronx-bred, Moroccan rapper. Though French has been putting out mixtapes for years, he releases his official debut "Excuse My French" Tuesday via a partnership deal with Bad Boy, Rick Ross's Maybach Music Group and Interscope.

Tyga with son King Cairo Stevenson (photo: Instagram)When Tyga was a teenager, he vowed to be a better father to his unborn children than his absentee father was to him.

The Compton rapper on Lil Wayne’s Young Money, Cash Money label penned his frustrations about the impact of his dad not being in his life in his 2009 song, “Dad’s Letter,” from his “The Potential” mixtape.

The song had new meaning to the hip hop artist last October when he celebrated the birth of King Cairo Stevenson, his son with his girlfriend Blac Chyna. He includes the track on his most recent album, “Hotel California.”

On the autobiographical song, Tyga raps about his youth, mainly getting into trouble and questioning the whereabouts of his father.

He raps about smoking cigarettes as a kid, buying a Ford Escort with a friend when he was 14, ditching school, and getting kicked out of the house when he was in the 10^th grade.

Had his father been around, Tyga thinks he may have pursued a different route. “Kinda just wished you taught me how to be a man,” he raps.

MTV Güik VJ Diego Alfaro made and posted a missing person's poster on the 777 Tour plane.I enjoyed watching Rihanna’s 777 Tour documentary on Fox Monday. But it could not have been an easy feat cramming footage from her travels to seven countries in seven days with 250 passengers into a one hour special.

It’s not surprising that 777 Tour alumni like myself would have their own list of moments that were not captured in the film.

Below, I’ve compiled five of my 777 Tour highlights that were not chronicled in the movie:

1) “Don’t Stop The Music” - When they played Rihanna’s “Unapologetic” over the intercom system, Janise Williams and her male buddy did what any diehard RiRi fans would do. They got up out of their seats and turned the left aisle near the emergency exit into a nightclub. When “Jump,” which samples Ginuwine’s “Pony,” and “Nobody’s Business,” her Michael Jackson-esque Chris Brown duet, came on, I was seriously tempted to do my two-step down the Soul Plane, Soul Train line.

I never thought I’d say this, but, Thank You IRS.

While Lauryn Hill has downplayed the role her recent tax debt has in her grudged decision to release new music, her fans couldn’t be happier to welcome her return. The angst behind her new song, “Neurotic Society (Compulsory Mix),” is its much-needed fuel.

In a letter posted on her MsLaurynHill Tumblr page over the weekend, the former Fugees front woman cited today’s unchecked unhealthy paradigms – in addition to last week’s tragic loss of her former label mate, Kris Kross member Chris Kelly – as the motivation for her fury.
