While talking to Wild 94.9, Kendrick Lamar reveals he's already finished a cut for Kid Cudi's upcoming album, "indicud," as well he talks on working with Dr. Dre and his dream collabos. In a recent interview with Wild 94.9, Kendrick and the rest of the Black Hippy crew talk about the West Coast sound and lyricism they're bringing to the rap game. Kendrick talks on recent collaborations, including one with Kid Cudi, as well as working with the legendary producer Dr. Dre. When asked which Rock the Bells artists he'd like to collaborate with, Kendrick revealed he already has one in the bag with Cudder. "I just recently did a Kid Cudi collabo...I like Kid Cudi a lot, he got a crazy unique style about him." He continued to say, "It's on his upcoming album [indicud]." K.Dot also reveals his mentor, Dr. Dre, is open to different kinds of sounds, especially a fresh sound from the West Coast, such as the one the Black Hippy crew is bringing. "He's open to a lot of new things, a lot of new sounds, a sound that's out now. I have my own specific sound, it's real moody, sometimes bass-driven, sometimes boom-bap hip-hop driven," Kendrick said of Dre & his own sound. Lastly, Kendrick was asked about collabos happening on his album, which, as we've heard before, are being kept to a minimum. However, he did mention his dream collaborations: "I want one with Erykah Badu, I want one with D'Angelo." Watch the full interview below.

AGAIN: Lil Wayne's "Dedication 4" Delayed Again? [Update: New Release Date Revealed]

Fans of Lil Wayne will probably have to wait a little more, as there are no signs of "Dedication 4" being released today. [Update: New release date for "Dedication 4" has been revealed.] Looks like the patience of fans of Lil Wayne is going to be tested again, as it seems Weezy's much-hyped Dedication 4 mixtape will not be released today as scheduled. There has been no official statement, but the tape does not appear to be ready for release today. Last night DJ Drama responded to a fan on Twitter who asked if it was worth staying up all night to wait for Dedication 4 to drop with "nah, ya'll get some rest...lol". Now #BlameDJDrama is trending on Twitter and Drama is retweeting lots of fans using that hashtag and has not said anything to deflect that D4 has been delayed again. RT @dshears: @djdrama sooooo... Is it worth stayin up tonight? <~~~~~ naw, yall can get some rest...lol! — DJ DRAMA (@DJDRAMA) August 30, 2012 #BlameDJDrama is trending; D4 isn't dropping. What's new in the mixtape world... #smh — kendriickromello (@KendrickLeeper) August 30, 2012 The tape was pushed back on August 15th when Mack Maine made the announcement on Twitter. Then Weezy released a viral video to fans explaining why the tape was pushed back, saying he did not want to steal the limelight from 2 Chainz album release. Later, he did admit that Dedication 4 was not ready for release. Soon after he took to Twitter with a simple tweet "D4-aug30", but seems fans will have to wait even longer. The tape could be delayed to clear samples as rappers are being extra careful about that with the recent slew of copyright lawsuts, or Carter could just be too busy skateboarding. For now, fans should try to quell their excitement about any announcement until the mixtape is finally released. UPDATE: Dedication4.com reports that the new release date for Dedication 4 is September 3rd... Stay tuned! (via Ddotomen)

SNOOP DOGG Promoter Sued for $115K Over Botched Appearance

Snoop Dogg's name (we refuse to call him Snoop Lion) is being dragged into a nasty lawsuit between a promoter and some nightclub -- all over an appearance gone wrong -- and now, the club wants over $100,000 in damages. Exchange LA -- the nightclub in question -- filed a lawsuit in L.A. against a promotion company called Movement Management, claiming Movement promised to book Snoop for an appearance on June 30th ... for a fee of $25,000. Exchange claims it paid a $15,000 deposit to secure Snoop -- but days after making the payment, Movement said Snoop had been double-booked ... and couldn't make the June 30th appearance as previously promised. (For the record, Snoop was in Europe at the time.) Exchange says it asked for its money back -- but it's been months ... and Movement still hasn't coughed it up, so now Exchange is suing for breach of contract and fraud. Exchange wants its $15,000 deposit back stat -- in addition to $100,000 in punitive damages. Attempts to reach Movement Management were unsuccessful. Calls to Snoop's reps were not returned.

GOOD BUSINESS: REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION Stripper Business BOOMING in Tampa

No one makes it rain like sexually repressed old white men -- at least according to a manager at a strip club in Tampa, who tells TMZ the club's business has DOUBLED ever since the Republican National Convention rolled into town. The manager at Skin Tampa tells us, the club has been sending its hottest girls to the RNC with cards and flyers -- offering free entry to anyone attending the convention -- and the response has been insane. The manager says the club's traffic has exploded thanks to the special RNC deal -- and revenue has doubled with it. But the club isn't stopping there -- according to the manager, it's going the extra mile to welcome everyone at the RNC, decking the place out with Republican-themed decorations.

The manager says Mitt Romney has yet to stop by -- but tells us, "We would love for [him] to come!"

Michael would have been 54.

Tax Debtor: STEVEN SEAGAL Not Above the Law ... He's a Massive Tax Debtor

Taking out a boatful of terrorists hell-bent on nuking Honolulu does not mean you can skip out on paying your taxes ... so the State of California has filed a giant tax lien against action film star Steven Seagal, TMZ has learned. According to documents filed with the Los Angeles County Recorder's Office, Seagal owes the Golden State a whopping $335,606.35 for the year 2010. It's hard to imagine how Seagal amassed such a large tax bill -- he has appeared in mostly direct-to-video movies for the past decade, with his only real work being a small role in "Machete" in 2010 and his reality show, "Steven Seagal: Lawman." Calls to Seagal were not returned

After Charles hit the links, he grabbed the mic during a karaoke event ... and proved once and for all that his voice is EVEN WORSE than his golf swing. But just when the crowd at Lucky B's couldn't take any more ... Boyz II Men emerged from the crowd, and blew everyone away.

Still, Court says ... "I'm not gonna say yes right now ... and I'm not gonna say no."

Gave Me Sh**: KRIS HUMPHRIES Woman Claims He Gave Her HERPES

Kris Humphries has just been sued by a woman who claims he gave her herpes ... TMZ has learned. Kayla Goldberg claims she met Kris in August, 2010 at the Newsroom Cafe on Robertson Blvd in L.A. -- long before Kris met Kim Kardashian. The two flirted, exchanged numbers, and Kayla claims that night they met up at Trousdale nightclub on the Sunset Strip. According to the suit, Kris came on to Kayla, touching, kissing and dancing with her. Kayla claims he took her to his hotel and they had sex multiple times ... including oral sex. The suit claims during a portion of the sexual encounter Kris did not wear a condom. The lawsuit claims Kris did not inform Kayla he had herpes -- and she claims in the suit that he did indeed have the disease. Kayla says a week later she was diagnosed with herpes. Her symptoms included a sore throat, fever, body aches and immobilizing pain, as well as extreme vaginal irritation and painful lesions on her genitalia. She's suing for sexual battery claiming Kris knew he had herpes when they hooked up and didn't tell her. Kayla -- who put her full name in the lawsuit -- is suing for unspecified damages. We reached out to Kris for comment ... so far no response

Not My Problem: LINDSAY LOHAN Unpaid Hotel Bill Not My Problem

Lindsay Lohan's passing the buck -- telling friends she thought the producers behind her recent Liz Taylor movie were going to pay her $46,350 hotel bill ... which is why she never offered to cover the tab. Sources close to the actress tell TMZ, Lindsay claims producers agreed to cover her stay at L.A.'s Chateau Marmont while she filmed "Liz & Dick" earlier this summer -- so she was shocked to learn there was an outstanding 5-figure bill in her name ... and even more shocked when she was banned from the hotel when the bill went unpaid. We're told Lindsay is currently trying to sort the problem out with producers -- and if they refuse to pay, Lindsay will happily cover the tab.

SETTLED: KIM KARDASHIAN Settles Old Navy Look-Alike Lawsuit ... for Big $$$

Kim's lawsuit was dismissed today in L.A. -- and sources close to Old Navy tell TMZ, the company agreed to pay Kim an undisclosed sum based on her look-alike claims. We're told both sides are pleased with the settlement, though the exact terms of the deal are undisclosed. TMZ broke the story ... Kim sued Old Navy last July for MILLIONS, claiming it intentionally used a look-alike in an effort to dupe the public into thinking Kim was affiliated with the brand. She kinda had a point too ... just take a look at this screengrab from the advertising in question.

BUSTED: WWE STAR CAMERON Busted for DUI ... Allegedly Tries to Bribe Cops

WWE superstar Cameron -- a member of the Funkadactyls -- allegedly offered police $10,000 to let her go after she was arrested for DUI last week ... this according to police. TMZ obtained the arrest report filed by police in Tampa Bay, Florida ... which shows Cameron -- real name Ariane Nicole Andrew -- was arrested at 2:23 AM on Friday morning outside Tampa International Airport. The report says Cameron blew a .20 ... more than twice the legal limit in Florida. After cops took her into custody, the report says Cameron offered one of the officers $10,000 to "let her go because she would lose her job." In the docs, cops say Cameron listed her employer as the WWE. Cops say Cameron had a male passanger in the car ... who told police the two had been drinking martinis before getting in the car. Cameron was booked for DUI ... but eventually released. So far, no comment from WWE.

PISSED OFF: KELLY RUTHERFORD DEVASTATED By Custody Ruling

"Gossip Girl" star Kelly Rutherford just suffered an enormous loss in family court ... a judge just ruled her ex-husband can keep their 2 kids in France, where he is living ... and sources say shes "devastated." Kelly was fighting to bring her kids back to the U.S. Her ex, Daniel Giersch, lives in France and can't come back to the U.S. because his visa has been revoked. The judge ruled Kelly has a flexible schedule and can go back and forth to France to spend time with her kids. The court gave Kelly the right to have the children -- ages 5 and 3 -- 50% of the time. But Kelly doesn't see it that way. Sources tell us she believes it's virtually impossible now for her to spend meaningful time with the kids, given the enormous travel commitments that would be involved. We're told Kelly plans to appeal the ruling.

SIDELINED: ROBIN ROBERTS Sidelined from Interview With Chad Johnson's Ex

Robin Roberts was forced to back out of the first interview with Chad Johnson's estranged wife Evelyn Lozada since he allegedly attacked her earlier this month -- and TMZ has learned, it's due to Robin's health crisis. Sources tell us ... Evelyn agreed to sit down with Robin on "Good Morning America" to discuss the Aug. 11 domestic violence incident -- because she feels Roberts has tremendous integrity as a reporter. The interview was set for this week, but hit a snag when Lozada asked Robin to tape the segment at her hotel ... since Evelyn wanted a private setting for such a serious conversation. We're told Roberts couldn't make that happen because she would have to miss a treatment session for her blood disorder ... myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). As we reported, Roberts is scheduled to start a leave of absence this Friday to receive a bone marrow transplant. We're told Amy Robach is stepping in for Robin, but Evelyn's more than happy with the replacement.

Not Our Fault: TONY PARKER LAWSUIT Nightclub Fires Back ... We Can't Predict BRAWLS!

Tony Parker is insane to think the people at W.i.P. nightclub should've known about the "bad blood" between Chris Brown and Drake BEFORE their infamous brawl ... this according to new legal docs filed by the club. Parker had sued the club for $20 mil ... claiming it should pay for the damage he sustained when he took a shard of glass to the eye in the bottle-throwing melee back in June. In his lawsuit, Parker claimed W.i.P. should have been aware of the "bad blood" between the two stars ... and never should have let them inside the establishment on that fateful night. But now the nightclub is firing back, claiming Parker's got it all wrong ... because it's not the club's job to keep tabs on its patrons' personal lives -- so it can't be held responsible for not knowing about the beef. Parker also claims the nightclub supplied booze to extremely intoxicated patrons, which helped fuel the brawl that led to the basketball player's injuries -- but the club says Parker's got no case ... so he can pound sand. W.i.P. wants the lawsuit dismissed in its entirety. A judge has yet to rule.

Don't Come Back: LINDSAY LOHAN BANNED From Sunset Strip Hotel

Lindsay Lohan stiffed the famous Chateau Marmont hotel to the tune of $46,350.04, and she is now persona non grata. TMZ has obtained a letter from the General Manager of the hotel where John Belushi infamously OD'd ... The GM notes the hotel repeatedly requested payment for the 47 days Lindsay stayed there during the months of June and July ... but LiLo never anted up. Lindsay -- who had been living at the hotel -- was ordered to get her stuff out by 12 PM August 1. She was then banned from the entire property. Now get this ... We also got the itemized bill for June and July, and it's clear -- Lindsay spends like a drunken sailor. -- Minibar charges for the 47 days: $3,145.07. The highest daily tab ... July 1st -- $502.43!!! -- Cigarettes: $686. She blew through 49 packs in 47 days at $14 a pop -- Chateau Candle: $100 -- Chateau restaurant: On July 4 Lindsay racked up a $1,992.07 bill. On top of that, she spent $685.96 that day on room service. Suze Orman definitely would not approve.

The new name of the Compton rapper's LP is Jesus Piece, as Game will focus on believing in God but also living a street life. Read what he had to say on the name change to Vibe below. “Trey Songz came with his album Chapter V, and of course 50 had 5 (Murder by Numbers), I just felt like I should jump off that wagon,” says Game. “So I went back into the studio and started doing songs that leaned more towards the title. I think people gon’ appreciate the concept once they hear the music.” "I’m a Christian but I’m not ‘holier than thou. Jesus Piece gives me an opportunity to speak about situations that people like me who love God but are still street and still wanna remain themselves without going the Pastor Mase route. It gives the opportunity to know that it’s somebody out there that feels them." The album is supposed to drop at the end of 2012.

The Recall: 15 Years Later Busta Rhymes Recalls The Making Of His Classic "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See"

It was magnificent from beginning to end. From its deep soul-rattling bass and conga drums and its unforgettable opening line to its vividly wild video, Busta Rhymes' "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See" was the perfect hip-hop joint. Catchy enough to be commercial and creative enough to be respected, it's the type of track for which the stars have to align just right before it is even recorded. It all started 15 years ago with some caring criticism from Q-Tip and Sean "Diddy" Combs. "They were in there talking to me about why I'm 'screaming' on every record," Busta recalled to MTV News last month, referring to a conversation that he and his rap compadres were having in Diddy's storied Daddy's House studio in New York City. Back then, Busta, the fire-breathing, self-proclaimed Dungeon Dragon, was best-known for his rambunctious rants on record. Busta's roaring guest verse on A Tribe Called Quest's classic single "Scenario" and his bellowing ad libs on "Woo Hah!! Got You All in Check" went a long way in cementing the MC as a certified riot starter. But on 1997's "Put Your Hands," he deliberately went in a new direction. Diddy and Q-Tip may have sparked the idea, but it was an old-timer in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, who inspired Busta's monotone flow. As Bussa Buss explains it, people in the predominantly West Indian neighborhood would consistently use the word 'Yo' at the beginning and/or end of every sentence to sound more Americanized. "Yo Busta let me hold $5 yo, wassup yo, you chillin' yo,'" Bus mimicked. As soon as the charismatic power MC heard the beat, which was produced by his friends Shamellow and Buddah, he knew that he had to take Tip and Puff's advice and deliver something much different than his previous work. "Hit you wit no delayin', so what you sayin' yo/ Silly wit my nine milly, what the dealy yo," Bus spit, breathing those now classic words on the track. "That was the beat that felt like the right beat to experiment with that calm vocal tone," he said of the track, which samples Seals and Crofts' 1976 song "Sweet Green Fields." "So I took that and I went to the studio and combined that with the calm flow." The record, which was officially released as a single in August 1997, was a hit, peaking at #2 on Billboard's Hot R&B/ Hip-Hop Songs chart and even bringing Busta a Grammy nomination. Sonically, Bus had delivered something unforgettable, but what he did with the video would rank him as one of hip-hop's greatest visual artists. The Hype Williams-directed clip drew its chief inspiration from Eddie Murphy's 1988 comedy "Coming to America." While Busta's engineers were mixing down "Put Your Hands," the film played on the studio's television on mute, sparking grand ideas. "Things were happening in the scene as the movie was playing that was so perfectly matching what was going on with the record," Busta recalled. The result was an over-the-top music video with regal costume changes, tribal-influenced choreography, Day-Glo body paint and an elephant. "That visual gave us the same feeling that the record was giving us ... and it was a marriage made in heaven," Busta said. As for Diddy and Q-Tip's reaction, "They really made me feel like I made the best record in my life at that time," Busta remembered.

Hopsin Throws Jabs At Lil Wayne "Wayne Skateboarders Don't Like You." Disses Soulja Boy & Lil B

Lil Wayne seems to be very dedicated to skateboarding at the moment. We've all seen the videos of him doing his thing. He even has his own sneaker line coming out via SUPRA in 2013. Not everyone is a fan though. California rapper/skateboarder Hopsin had some not so kind words to say about Weezy recently. "Wayne, skateboarders don't like you. I'm telling you that right now," Hopsin said. "Learn, it's cool learn, but don't come out with all this huge buzz about you skateboarding because people like me get upset. And other skaters feel the same way. The only reason skaters hang around this guy is because he's Lil Wayne, but they don't like him. I've talked to skaters, nobody likes Wayne as a skateboarder."

Hopsin also talked about the current state of hip hop and what he sees as the problem with it. "What I don't like about the music industry is everything," he continued. "It's very satanic, people are evil. They talk about girls, they talk about things that don't really matter. And they brainwash everybody into thinking this is what life is all about. Rappers walk around with chains and thousands of tattoos on their body. And then youngsters are seeing this stuff and they're like, 'Man I wanna be like that.' It's stupid stuff... there's more to life than that. But the youth has no idea because all they watch is Lil Wayne, Soulja Boy or Lil B or whatever stupid sh*tty rappers coming out doing their thing. It just makes me mad."

Big Boy Big House: RYAN SEACREST Unloads Fabled Mansion

Ryan Seacrest has just sold the mansion he called home before upgrading to Ellen DeGeneres' sick pad ... TMZ has learned. The 8,000 square foot house -- which has a detached nightclub -- was listed for $12.9 million and sold for $11 million. Sounds great, except Ryan paid $11.5 million when he bought it back in 2006. Blame the housing market ... but we're guessing it's not going to make a dent in Ryan's wallet. The sale became official this morning. The new buyers are some rich English folk. By the way, Ryan bought the house from Kevin Costner. Kevin purchased it from Richard Dreyfuss. Ryan and Julianne Hough are now living in Ellen's former mega-mansion, which he purchased for a cool $37.5 million. The big winner in all of this ... Kurt Rappaport, who represented Ryan in the sale of his old home and the purchase of Ellen's estate. Rappaport also repped Ellen in the sale. So Kurt got a nice chunk of $50 million worth of real estate. Not bad.

We Can Share: LINDSAY LOHAN Theft Victim Tells Her, 'What's Mine is Yours

The insanely wealthy man who reported $100,000 worth of watches and sunglasses stolen from his house told Lindsay Lohan she's not a thief, because "What's mine is yours." TMZ broke the story ... Lindsay is the suspect in the theft. The victim, Sam Magid, tried to recant his story but LAPD detectives say they have independent evidence to corroborate the theft and the investigation is full steam ahead. We've learned text messages were sent between Lindsay and Sam over the last few days, and he says "I officially told Detective Rodriguez you can't take anything from me cause what's mine is yours." Sam also told Lindsay he told cops the culprits were men. It's also apparent Sam is obsessed with Lindsay, telling her he loves her and, "I will fight for you."

BAD WEEK: DR. PAUL NASSIF Faced with Death and Divorce

It's been a difficult week for Dr. Paul Nassif ... because one day before he filed for divorce from Adrienne Maloof, his father passed away. Nassif just released an emotional statement to TMZ ... saying, "Adrienne and I have tried very hard to make our marriage work, but this is the best course for both of us." "This is a difficult time for our family and my prime focus is to ensure our boys are well and happy." He continues ... "In addition, sadly I just lost my father yesterday -- a man who taught me how to be a man. I deeply appreciate the outpouring of support from family, friends and patients. We will get through this." Maloof was expected to file her own set of divorce papers earlier today at the same time as Paul ... but backed out at the last minute. It's possible she changed her plans out of respect for the Nassif family.

First Picture: SNOOKI 1ST PHOTO Of Hairy Baby!!!

Son of Snooki was officially unleashed on Planet Earth today ... and TMZ has the very first pics of lil' Lorenzo LaValle and his mommy being carted out of the a New Jersey hospital. You can't see much of Lorenzo's face ... only the top of his head ... which appears prime for gobs of gel and grease. Mama Snooks was clutching her little boy with both arms ... holding him tighter than a cup of Ron-Ron Juice at Karma nightclub. Snooki gave birth on Sunday ... but it appears she's already back to normal ... rocking a pair of platform wedges as she was wheeled back into reality ... TV ... as an MTV camera crew documented the entire thing.

JUSTICE: LL COOL J Intruder's Busted Face REVEALED In Court

The 56-year-old alleged burglar who got his ass whooped by LL Cool J last week just appeared in court ... finally revealing his bruises from his painful encounter at the rapper's L.A. home. The transient in question -- a man named Jonathan Kirby -- is still sporting two black eyes ... presumably from the nose-breaking punch LL delivered on the night Kirby broke into his home last week. During the hearing, Kirby pled "not guilty" to 1st degree burglary with a person present. As we reported, the L.A. County District Attorney charged Kirby as a 3rd strike offender, which means Kirby now faces life in prison if convicted. Kirby's bail was set at $1.1 million. A preliminary hearing has been set for next month.

No More Hiding: PRINCE HARRY I Refuse to Hide Anymore

Prince Harry is adamant ... he WILL attend the 2012 Paralympic Games in London ... refusing to back out of his first scheduled appearance following the naked photo scandal.

Please report." SNAP!
