"Rock Shyte doesn't rock anymore! They say the whole game done went pop so I'm back in this ho! #CMLB," tweeted Durst.

It's a strange fit for the YMCMB team, but not a total surprise. Wayne aligned himself with rocker Kevin Rudolf pretty early on, only to steal the electric guitar right from under him and release his own Rock-inspired Rebirth album. What this means musically for Limp Bizkit's semi-rock-rap shtick remains to be seen.

Wayne didn't stop at Limp Bizkit though when it came to roster announcements. He hinted at the possible signing of former Murder Inc. First Lady, Ashanti. After her recent single “The Woman You Love” with Busta Rhymes (also a recent Cash Money signee), it looks like the writing's on the wall. If this deal happens, YMCMB's nose-pierced vixen Shanell aka SnL may never get her shot at fame.

MTV2's Sucker Free sat with Busta Rhymes as he gushed about his new alliance with Cash Money and Google Music. “The label situation is phenomenal," said Busta Rhymes. “It's a marriage that I feel is a genuine one, and it's a deal that's the first of it's kind. We sat at the round table and created something that's a one of one. Partnering Google and Cash Money together and being able to make a merge that is unlike anything that's ever existed in music.”

Busta Rhymes went into slight detail about Google's involvement; comparing the Internet giant's foray into music to Apple's iTunes platform and Amazon's music retail system. “Google ain't really trying to just sell music, they're trying to create a new way to share music,” shared Busta. “They're also trying to create new ways for artists to have a platform to expose their music, because they ain't just doing deals with artist that's known. “

Busta went on to explain that Google Music provides a place for artists to not only sell their product, but also puts millions of dollars of marketing and promotion dollars behind the projects. “I ain't never seen that before. I ain't never seen any label spend $15, $20 million dollars on marketing, promoting and campaigning your project digitally alone. That's unheard of,” said an excited Busta Rhymes.

Williams and his brother Ronald started their record label in the 1990s (in the section of New Orleans later hit hard by Hurricane Katrina) by selling music from their car trunks. More than a decade later, Williams, which GQ calls "Hip-hop's most underestimated tycoon," has an estimated net worth of at least $100 million.

Former New Orleans rivals are now one as Mystikal has officially joined the YMCMB family.

Mystikal signed to Cash Money in November and his first album since returning home prison is scheduled to drop in the Spring of 2012.

Birdman spoke of the signing stating,

“It is an honor to get the opportunity to work with Mystikal, as we have a long history together. He is a great artist and his talent, combined with our hard work and strong team, is going to result in some of the best music of his career. We are expecting great work from Mystikal. Slim and I already have him in the studio working on his first album for Cash Money”.

Mystikal's first single for Cash Money, is the club banger “Original” featuring Lil Wayne and Birdman, will premiere on December 13, 2011 on The Funkmaster Flex show on Hot 97 FM. The track, which was recorded in Hit Factory in Miami, is expected to appear on Mystikal's forthcoming album for Cash Money Records.

Mystikal also spoke of the union adding,

“It has been a truly long time since I have felt like a rapper and with this signing, and partnership, Birdman and Slim have given me my life as a rapper back. I am ready to go. I am going to put my red Superman drawers, cape and boots on and go! This is a huge moment for me and I am truly excited to be with Cash Money Records.”

Since his release Mystikal has been in the lab with Mannie Fresh so maybe Mannie may be heading back to the house he helped build in the near future as well.

Damn it ain't looking too good for the Hot Boy B.G.

Cash Money's former starting Q.B. is facing up to 40 years in prison after pleading guilty to several charges.

As previously reported in May, B.G. was indicted by a federal grand jury on gun and conspiracy charges.

U.S. Attorney Jim Letten said the former Hot Boy faced two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm and one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice.

The charges stem from a 2009 traffic stop, where officers recovered three guns, two of the guns were reported stolen.

B.G. was arrested along with two others, Demounde Pollard and Jerod Fedison.

According to reports, B.G. conspired to obstruct justice by “inducing Demounde Pollard to sign a false affidavit attesting that Dorsey did not possess three firearms on Nov. 3, 2009.”

Pollard and Fedison already  pleaded guilty in the case.

The Baby Gangsta, real name Christopher Dorsey is scheduled to be sentenced on March 14, 2012.

Former Cash Money Records member Magnolia Shorty was killed in 2010 in New Orleans, her husband Carl Bridgewater joined her in death yesterday.

Renetta "Magnolia Shorty" Lowe-Bridgewater was shot 26 times in a car last year with Jerome Hampton in a double murder, this year Carl was found lifeless when paramedics arrived on the scene.

There is no word on any connection between the two murders. The 31-year-old Bridgewater lived with his pregnant girlfriend, recently got out of prison and had just landed a job according to his uncle.

This marks the 181st murder of the year in New Orleans.

Evelyn Lozada, star of VH1's #1 Hit Reality Series, “Basketball Wives” which is set for an explosive fourth season, has just signed a multi-platform six-figure deal with Cash Money Content for literary and feature film projects.

Lozada is the girlfriend of Chad Ochocinco.

Music moguls Bryan “Baby” Williams and his brother Ronald “Slim” Williams are founders & CEO's of Cash Money Content, the publishers that are overseeing the book deal.

The first of the projects is Evelyn's book series, “The Wives Association,” co-authored by novelist and former Law & Order: Criminal Intent writer, Courtney Parker, which will follow Evelyn's alter ego, character Eve Inez-Landon and will fictionalize aspects of real life events that have come from years of dating a professional athlete.

Although the books are not considered “tell-alls”, Evelyn reveals they will be an exciting mix of her own experiences and that of other athlete wives and girlfriends.

“The stories that you hear- what goes on in these relationships, and just being in that circle- I decided to let everyone experience a piece of it for themselves by writing this series of juicy novels,” said Evelyn.

“We will support Evelyn's project, 100%” said Cash Money Founder and CEO, Williams.

“By partnering with Baby and Cash Money Content, we have the potential to turn these ‘novels' into a full-fledged brand,” Lozada explains. “Everything Baby and CMC touches turns to gold, and our brands together will be magical.”

Cash Money Content is a groundbreaking partnership that pairs the Cash Money Records brand with Atria Books, a division of the publishing powerhouse, Simon & Schuster.
