Across the country little kiddies hoping to listen to some hot Hannah Montana tracks on Christmas morning got a vocabulary lesson — in the form of the Diplomats' Diplomatic Immunity Disc 2 — instead. Yes, despite the very Disney packaging on both the case and the disk, some children found themselves listening to the lyrical stylings of Cam'Ron and Jim Jones instead of the tween singing sensation. I guess this is one way to get people to buy their albums…

Thankfully, I had left Chris Brown's party by this time:

The Target-hosted bash went so well that the fire marshal said it had reached capacity 10 minutes before it ended. Unfortunately, that's when rapper Jim Jones showed up with rapper Juelz Santana and an entourage of a dozen beefy buddies. We watched as Jones took it personally. "You don't disrespect me, n-!" he yelled as he knocked down the security barricade. Santana and the entourage then bowled over the three bouncers at the door. Twelve more guys followed and a brawl ensued as they tried to pry open the door of the popular nightspot. Reinforcements from inside Tenjune swarmed out and shoved the aggressors back onto the street. Spokesmen for Jones and Santana did not return calls.

Apparently, Jim Jones lives by that old adage that the last 10 minutes of a sweaty, over-crowded party are the most fun. [NYDN]

MTV recently unveiled their 10 MCs in the Game list, for which the network's hip hop journos took into account the rappers' work in the past 6 months to a year. Even though this isn't about career-spanning accomplishments, the list barely makes sense: The Game is No. 3? Jim Jones is on the list at all? Lil Wayne, in a triumph I'm sure will please a few Stereohypers and infuriate 50 Cent, took to the No. 1 spot. Here's what he had to say.

"I saw the preview [of the show], and if I'm lying, I'm flying: I was like, 'Who won?' … I'm glad I won. Yaaa dig! Don't stop believing in me. They say I'm the Hottest MC in the Game. If you label me that, I will live up to it. Trust me."

I guess that means he's happy?

The interesting top 10 and MTV's honorable mentions after the jump.
