Following last week’s exclusive interview with Illinois inmate Clayton Hill, who provided us with reports that he believes himself to be an accessory-after the fact in the 1997 murder of Notorious B.I.G., DX ran an additional conversation with Hill. Speaking with HipHopDX throughout the month of June, Hill claims he transported the murder weapon from the trigger-man, who Hill all-but-confirmed with longtime suspect Amir Muhammad to officials within the Nation of Islam.

2 Live Crew’s Luke recently called out Wiz Khalifa over Amber Rose. In a blog, the southern Rap pioneer said that by his association with Rose, that the Pittsburgh emcee had “gotten soft.” Luke pointed to an array of his Rap peers who have been loyal to one woman in the past. However, Luke thinks that when Wiz, Memphitz or Soulja Boy date high-profile women associated with other male rappers, it’s bad. Wiz has yet to respond.
