Rick Ross speaks on Lil Kim/Nicki Minaj Beef/Dr. Dre in court over "The Chronic" album

Rick Ross doesn't think that he and Nicki Minaj -- both of whom are being managed by Diddy -- are the new Lil' Kim and Notorious B.I.G. Ross tells TheLifeFiles.com, "I was a running back and you compared me to Bo Jackson, I wouldn't be tripping. But at the end of the day, that was one of the greatest of all time. There'll never be another Biggie." Ross isn't taking sides on the Kim-Nicki beef. "It's cute. Lil' Kim [is] the Queen Bee, but Nicki is number-one...right now." Ross' new album, Teflon Don, is due July 6th

Lil' Kim has finally given of an explanation for her beef with Nicki Minaj. She tells ThisIs50.com, "For the last year, she has been subliminally taking shots at me. Subliminally taking shots at the other girls in the industry... She said, 'Being that the other rap chicks in the game ain't got [nothing] to do right now, when I'm by the pool, they can feed me grapes'... I keep my ears to the street at all the time."

Perhaps a hit record would help Kim reclaim her throne. She's said she plans to release new music next month.

A California judge has thrown out Dr. Dre's claims that Death Row's release of The Chronic Re-Lit violated his rights of trademark and publicity. Last week, Judge Christina Snyder applied the so-called Monty Python rule, after a 1976 case where a defendant extensively edited the comedy series to air it on television. Snyder ruled that unlike in the Monty Python case, the alterations to the new release were "minor and inconsequential."

Snyder did allow Dre's claim that he hasn't been paid royalties on the album since splitting from Death Row in 1996.
