:: BREAKING NEWS :: Minister Louis Farrakhan Agrees to Mediate Settlement in Questlove-Skillz Feud, Calls for $10,000 Coin Flip to Settle Dispute
:: Famed for his prowess in hip hop beef mediation, Minister Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam stepped in early this evening to call for an immediate halt to rising tensions between Roots’ drummer Questlove and Virginia rapper Skillz. As both sides prepared their legions of fans and followers for a bloody MMA match this Saturday evening, Minister Farrakhan called on both sides to agree to a sit-down, in hopes of resolving the growing conflict before bloodshed is required. After settling landmark hip hop disputes between Jay-Z and Mobb Deep, 50 Cent and Ja Rule, LL Cool J and Canibus, and more, Minister Farrakhan hopes to once again stem the tide of hip hop hatred, declaring the need for “rap peace, not rap war.” He also suggested a $10,000 coin flip, conducted impartially by the Fruit of Islam, to resolve the initial dispute. “I’ll agree to peace,” declared Skillz, “when I get my $10,000. Until then, no peace!” Finally reached for an official comment, DJ Jazzy Jeff also called for a peaceful resolution, proclaiming: "Can't we all just get along?"

:: In an unprecedented move, Roots’ drummer Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson appeared in New York City’s 10th District Supreme Court only moments ago to file a restraining order and lawsuit for slander against rapper Skillz . JPeriod.com was able to obtain a copy of the suit’s transcript, which cites Skillz for damages in the amount of $10,000USD and would prevent Skillz from going within 100 feet of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. When asked if the amount reflected an attempt to settle the score for the $10,000 bet Mr. Thompson lost to Skillz (the bet which inspired Skillz’ new diss record), Questlove denied the accusation: “That’s strictly coincidence. No further comment.”10/8/10 - 1PM UPDATE:
