It seems that the rap duo days are extinct or near extinction, and I wanted to know why this is. Why hasn't there been many new rap duos on the scene in hip hop ?

:shrug: Just food for thought

What do you think BX

Foxy Brown is FURIOUS over reports she trashed Jay-Z ... telling TMZ she NEVER referred to Hova as a gonorrhea-infected "tranny chaser" ... and now she's threatening to sue.

Brown is referencing a report that first appeared on MediaTakeOut -- which says Foxy recently went to a baby shower and started dishing about Jay-Z's sex life to one of the guests -- saying he secretly engages in gay sex ... and that she lost her virginity to him when she was 15 and he was 27.

There's more ... including allegations of a robbery, sex tape and STDs.

But Foxy says the report is complete BS, telling TMZ ... "The atrociousness of this story sickened me to my stomach. Any and everyone involved will be contacted by my attorney."

Foxy says, "In all my years in the music industry, these are the most disgusting and disrespectful allegations I've ever experienced. This fictitious story ... with NO audio, visual or written interview, clearly was concocted with malicious intent."

"Jay has only been wonderful to me and my family, a great friend throughout all the years I've known him and we had nothing but great success as a team."

She continues, "Beyonce, his wife, has always been gracious and sweet to me ... I will NOT let any undercover hater create discord and disrespect my name and reputation."

"This disrespect will NOT be tolerated."

Calls to MediaTakeOut have not been returned.

While Drake and Ludacris have exchanged words in the past, the "Act a Fool" rapper insists his new track "Mad For" isn't about Drake. While Pusha-T and Chris Brown, who've also had beef with Drake, appear on the track, Ludacris says the song isn't about a specific person.

"I didn't even think about that...Man listen, I don't tell other artists how to write. I just basically—they go off what they feel and they write what they wanna write on there. That's just how hip hop is, man. You write to what you feel. So, make no assumptions, just listen to the track. You can make your own assumptions, but I definitely would never make assumptions just based off who's featured on a record...I'm not talking to anyone specific."

He continued, "The 'Mad For' record, a lot of people, a lot of different artists heard it while we was just in the studio vibing and wanted to get on it. Everybody from Chris Brown to Swizz Beatz—to Meek Mill, Pusha T, everybody." More.......
