Gangsta BooIt’s been said that a woman can’t teach a boy how to be a man, but Memphis legend Gangsta Boo refutes that claim with her song “Pillow Talk” from her new mixtape, “It’s Game Involved.”

Gangsta Boo, 8 Ball and Maino school rookies on the basics of Thuggin’ 101. Rule No. 1 is to keep your mouth shut, especially when dealing with the women you date.

According to this ill lyrical trio, sharing info about your money and your enemies to the wrong person could have life-threatening results.

"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.

Cole, who won the 1975 best new artist of the year Grammy award, complained via Twitter at 8:30 p.m. PT Thursday. “Make no mistake. ‘Inseparable’ was NOT originally recorded by @IAMJHUD but by ME,” she wrote.

Cole slammed the singing competition for the decision. “@AmericanIdol ought to be ashamed of themselves!Im seriously offended! # #Idol #idolfinale,” Cole wrote in a Tweet that she has since deleted.
