Elephant Man. Ele. The Energy God. Whatever you call him, he's one of the biggest stars in dancehall. Signing someone at the top of their genre is a big deal, though I'm not sure that Bad Boy (and Diddy) got enough credit for this one. In doing so, they have virtually guaranteed that Bad Boy's first dancehall/reggae release will be a memorable one. His Bad Boy debut, "Let's Get Physical", is due out on November 6.
Solitair gave an interview where he said that he and Cipha Sounds produced a track for you that Diddy and Busta Rhymes got on.
I'm playing that track. "This is the Way We Roll".
Can you tell me about the track, what it's called and whether or not it made the album?
The track you're talking about, with me, Busta Rhymes and Shaggy, it's called "This is The Way We Roll".

Yung Joc came on toward the end of the show and performed a different rendition of "Coffee Shop" then he has been performing. It was a live band version and it sounded a little difference. Joc's last verse was very different as they switched up the music and he changed his flow. To be honest, I didn't like it. But, hey, it's different. Zoe was not there.
They played "Bottle Poppin" to end the show. It was given a similar treatment. This one, I liked, though. The performance will be viewable on the
Jimmy Kimmel Live site. It's not up, yet, though.
Edit: It's 12:05 PM ET, not 11:05 PM ET. Sorry for the confusion.
According to the
Bad Boy MySpace, Yung Joc will be performing "Coffee Shop" and "Bottle Poppin" on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight. The show starts at 12:05 PM ET on ABC.
The B5 dance contest prizes have been
revealed. The winner will win an iPhone, a call from B5 and autographed pictures of the guys.

I just finished
interviewing Elephant Man, so look out for that, but I did want to go ahead and report something that he told me before anyone else did (I don't think anyone has, but I could be wrong). I asked him if, with the
Japanese release in mind, he's added any tracks to the album for the U.S. release. He said yes and described the 4 tracks.
There are 3 solo tracks. One called "Feed the Floor With It", another called "Fun It and Cool It" and then a third, unnamed track, produced by Swizz Beatz.
The 4th track, titled "Get You Wet", features Chris Brown. So, if the tracklist on
CD Universe is accurate, it will now look something like this:
"Ready Fi Di Video"
"Drop Dead"
"The Way We Roll (Remix)" featuring Busta Rhymes and Shaggy
"Willie Bounce"
"Throw Your Hands Up" featuring Rihanna
"Five-O" featuring Wyclef Jean and Diddy Wyclef & Diddy
"Gangster World" featuring Rehka
"Shake That A** Is On Fire"
"That La La" featuring Mya
"Like A Snake" featuring Don Omar
"Wave Ya Rag"
"Real Pimps"
"Five-O (Remix)" featuring Wyclef, Swizz Beats, Assassin, Yung Joc and Diddy
"Feed the Floor"
"Fun It and Cool It"
"Get You Wet" featuring Chris Brown

Singer
Sean Kingston has revealed that he is going to play Biggie in the upcoming Biggie biopic, "Notorious".
�When I first heard about that movie, it was through management. They told me (and) I auditioned for it and I met with the director. I nailed it and he gave me a shot now at being in the movie."
