As numerous sites have been reporting over the past week, the latest official release date for the Clipse album Hell Hath No Fury is now November 28th. Normally I would be skeptical of this date, as the album has been pushed back more times than I can remember, but the amount of information being leaked recently suggests that the album really is about to be released.
XXL Magazine has already given the album an XXL rating, the album cover and tracklist have been released and there are a couple of new tracks that have leaked out onto the internets. Peep:

Those two songs give me hope, but as The Game has taught us all so well, a release date in hip hop is never really "official" until you start up a beef with another artist in advance of the album. According to SOHH, the Clipse have done just that with a few words aimed at Jay-Z (though SOHH, maintaining its high standards of journalism, offers zero proof of this claim). Apparently the Clipse have been holding onto a grudge that goes back to 2001, when Jay dismissed the first Clipse album with the line, "Well, you guys talk about coke a lot." You don't get to be the head of a major hip hop record label without insight like that.
In other news, here's the promo that Eminem and 50 Cent did for the World Series:

The video features Marshall's new song You Don't Know. DJ Benzi put up a remix of the track, you can grab that at Benzi's site. I have to say I'm not really feeling this song. Em sounds like he's just trying to do a G-Unit impersonation, which is what usually happens when he teams up with 50 Cent. I've always thought his collaborations sound a lot better when he's working with someone he's trying to impress (Dre on Guilty Conscience, Jay-Z on Renegade). Its like he takes a step back, lyrically, when he works with anyone from G-Unit.
