Following defeats of Herbie Luv Bug and Teddy Riley, Diddy and The Hitmen have fallen in Vibe's "The Greatest Hip-Hop Producer of All-Time!" tournament.

They lost in the third round to first seed The Neptunes by a margin of 72.8% to 27.2%. I'm a little surprised that The Neptunes won, let alone by that margin, but not shocked and I'm sure the seeding plays a role in the votes, as well. I like The Neptunes a lot, so congratulations to them.

On Jeremy Greene's MySpace, you can listen to a mega mix (of sorts) of Dirty Money's "Hello Good Morning" that features rap verses from T.I. and Diddy, as seen on the original, plus the remix verses from Rick Ross and Red Cafe and a sung verse by Greene.

Red Cafe's "Heart and Soul" featuring Pete Rock, a record I absolutely love, serves as the soundtrack to "The Heart & Soul of New York City," a new "poetic clip" by Kevin Couliau of K1X. It's an ode to playground basketball in New York, featuring Red Cafe as well as cameos by DJ Ted Smooth, former New York Knick John Starts, KRS-One and more. Check out out below.

Christina Boyle of the New York Daily News reports that Diddy paid a visit to Lil' Wayne in prison on Wednesday. According to sources, they talked for about an hour.

Updating a previous report, Jay Electronica's manager told Jayson Rodriguez at MTV News that "The Ghost of Christopher Wallace" is not yet finished. The song, which features heavy ad libs from Diddy, debuted online yesterday.

Over on her website, Angela Yee has audio from her interview with Jay Electronica. They talk about "The Ghost of Christopher Wallace."

Interestingly, Electronica says that the version they are about to play isn't the finished version of the song. It's unclear if the version that Diddy is circulating is finished or not.

Below, check out the brand new music video for Fat Joe's "Slow Down" featuring Jeezy, care of Twitter messages posted by Diddy and Fat Joe. The video includes a cameo appearance from Diddy, surfing on the hood of a convertible Rolls-Royce Phantom that Fat Joe is driving.

Fat Joe seemingly made reference to this on the remix to DJ Khaled's "All I Do is Win (Remix)."

"Riding through Harlem, me and Jeezy, pardon me - Puffy surfing on the hood for n***** that keep doubting me," he raps on the track.


Previously, we posted some behind the scenes footage.

Over on his MySpace, singer Rotimi has premiered "Already Know" featuring Dawn Richard. On his Twitter, he says that a video for the song will be shot "real soon."

In an interview with Soul Culture, Janelle Monae talks about "The ArchAndroid" and the crown featured in the trailer for the album. She mentioned that it is real and was made by Jesse J. Clarkson, an artist and special effects designer who has worked on The Dark Knight and Ironman, among other films. Check it out below.

Following today's premiere of the song, Diddy has made available free downloads of "The Ghost of Christopher Wallace" by Jay Electronica, which he is featured on. Dirty, Clean, Dirty Radio and Clean Radio versions. The radio cuts cut the track in half, removing the second half of the main track with Diddy talking.

Interestingly, the file names are formatted in this manner: "GHOST OF CHRISTOPHER WALLACE - JAY ELECTRONICA FEAT. PUFF DADDY. BAD BOY RECORDS - DIRTY - RADIO."
