Weezy F. (please call me crazy) has taken to Twitter to respond to Pitbull's "Welcome To Dade County", a song released earlier this week (over the "Harlem Shake" beat), that takes shots at Lil Wayne:
Dam pit bull bro I thought u was kool.
— Lil Wayne WEEZY F (@LilTunechi) February 27, 2013
Say what you will about Pitbull's Pop turn, but that dude is a long standing Miami repper. I know because TVT Records used to send me about 12 copies of each album he put out.

According to a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Mumford & Sons next project will be a Hip-Hop album...and they are kindly requesting the assistance of young H-O.
Marcus Mumford said:
“Like, hip-hop. We really want to rap. We’ve just got so much to say – saying it through a melody doesn’t really work for me. We’ve been talking with Jay-Z about it, you know. It’s gonna be a fresh experience for our band.”
No word yet on when the Hip-Hop project will drop but the group is currently in the studio.

According to reports, Mac Miller has settled the $10 million lawsuit brought against him by Lord Finesse.
A confidential settlement was reached December 6 and terms of the settlement haven't been disclosed (although I would imagine Finesse caked up some).
Mac tells Complex:
"I'm actually legally not allowed to say anything about what happened," Mac told Complex magazine this week. "Other than that it's been resolved and we didn't go to [trial]. If that was really a problem, people would be getting sued left and right."
The suit was brought over claims that Miller used the instrumental to Finesse's song "Hip 2 Da Game" for his song "Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza" off his "K.I.D.S." mixtape.
