Daft Punk’s latest opus, Random Access Memories, might have just officially dropped, but the French producers/DJs already have some new plans for it. In an interview with BBC Radio 1′s Pete Tong, they revealed that they are remixing tracks off the album, if not the entire thing, themselves. That’s right: Daft Punk remixing … Daft Punk. Here’s how they described their plans: “We’re working on some mixes ourselves. So, yes, there will probably be Daft Punk mixes of Daft Punk. Usually, we never mix ourselves, that’s something we feel we’re interested in doing this time.” In related news, it’s being projected that Random Access Memories will do some solid numbers in its first week. Billboard puts the sales somewhere around 300,000, which will definitely be enough to put the robots at No. 1. Not bad considering their prior album, 2005′s Human After All, has only sold 125,000 units total in the States. [via]

Looks like Mona has created monsters… Love And Hip-Hop New York Cast Refuses To Work Until They Get More Money According to TMZ reports: Big trouble on the set of VH1′s “Love & Hip Hop” … TMZ has learned, the stars of the show are refusing to go to work … and it’s all because they think they’re getting shafted in contract negotiations. Sources close to the show tell us, all cast members were supposed to be present Tuesday in NYC to film a trailer for the upcoming season, but only half of the cast showed up. The other half stayed home in protest because negotiations for their new contracts had gone sour. We’re told the half that did show up then got upset … believing they too were entitled to revised contracts … and stormed off. We’re told most of the cast members want more money — as much as double their last contract — but there are other problems too … some are pissed at how they were portrayed last season and they want more say in what footage gets aired. We’re told emergency meetings have since been called with the angry cast members … and they’re hoping to get what they want by the end of the week. If they don’t … we’re told the cast members plan to stick to their guns and continue their strike for as long as necessary. We reached out to VH1 for comment — so far, no word back. We can tell you this, the ONLY cast members who should consider holding out for more money are Joe Budden, Tahiry, Erica nut a$$, Rich Dollaz, Yandy & Mendeecees. The rest of ‘em should just be happy to be there! SMH Image via Facebook

Back in June last year, out of the blue a production duo called ARRWS blessed my inbox with a brilliant refix of The Way It Is by Giggs. A month passed before I received another email and similarly to the first track they really delivered, flipping Hustle On. With the last track they sent they did mention they were going to be releasing a full project but with the amount of time that’s passed since that email I had assumed it wasn’t going to happen. Then, this morning I open my laptop, look at my emails and there it was, an email from ARRWS containing a link to the 8 track mixtape of refixes of tracks from Giggs debut album, Let Em Ave It. Since clicking that link in the early hours I’ve not listened to anything else. It’s was a bold move taking on such as classic album for a refix project but they completely nailed it. Don’t believe me? Listen/download below. Download : ARRWS vs Giggs (Mixtape) | Alt Link

Snoop Dogg better mind what he's doing. After angering Bob Marley's family when he went Rasta and became Snoop Lion, the California rapper has now managed to anger the world's Zulu population. MTV Base offered an apology for a Snoop Dogg performance on their channel. "MTV Base apologizes if anyone was offended by Snoop wearing traditional Zulu garb on Saturday night. The outfit in question was a gift from a member of the Zulu royal family and a number of members of the royal family joined Snoop on stage. We believe that his homage to Zulu culture was received positively by all concerned, including the royal family." Snoop might have the blessing of the royal family, but you never know what Zulu-affiliated person he may have pissed off. Hopefully none. Source: allhiphop.com

''I Thought I Was Gay For Three Months''6:00AM ET May 23rd, 2013Contributor : Monica Coleman A Rocky Williform Company K. Michelle has had a fairly rocky relationship history. The "Love & Hip Hop" star talked to Power 106's The Breakfast Club about her history, and revealed that she dated a woman briefly. "I have dipped out. I thought I was gay for three months," she said. "I realized what you men go through. The b—h jumped on my car," she shared when asked why she decided dating women wasn't for her. "I had a new car and she jumped on my car, scratched it up with her shoe and it was a wrap. She wanted to be an actress, but she was always sitting on the couch. I was actually taking care of stuff and paying bills. I was like, “Oh no I’m not used to this. I’m not gay no more." "I like how women look. I like certain things about a woman but at the end of the day, I realized that I’m not dealing with all that bulls–t y’all go through," she added. "I do the pretty women. Nothing against the women that look like men, [but] you might as well get a man. I like chocolate, big booty, pretty skin, that’s what I like. I don’t let men e** me out. I never have been like, 'I want this.'"
