Here’s a another track featuring the rapper eater and Nicki Minaj off Smallz’s SSTV Volume One. The rhymes are pretty ka-ka, but at least the beat is hot. Isn’t that what count’s these days?

“I’m such a star, they singing the star spangle.” Really, Nicki?

Whoo Kid gets a haircut and a shave as Talib Kweli shoots a quick video for the song I brought to the Internets a lil while back. Damn, the nigga Mr. Greene could have at least taken his hat off and shit. Ha! Shout out to Dan The Man.

Last night, the pride of Canada kicked a freestyle over Jigga’s “You, Me, Him, & Her” and Raekwon’s “Incarcerated Scarfaces” on Funkmaster Flex’s show. I thought that stopped doing these kinds of things over at 395 Hudson St. *shrugs shoulders*

“I’m in Aston doing donuts, I’m will kill the game and never send it my condolence.”

A watermelon-eatin’ MC Serch. Red Alert’s record carrier, Baby Chris Lighty. The “Bridge Is Over” acetate. Who’s DJ Flamboyant? The origin of his group’s name. Yup, more crazy musings from The Abstract.

Bonus: Shut up and listen.

When YN posted Tahiry’s KING spread earlier this week, the ‘net ate it up. Well at the 4:12 mark of JD’s Living the Life series, Bow Weezy says he wouldn’t mind going to lunch on Joe Budden’s ol’ lady. 
 
“No disrespect to Joe. I’ll eat it, my nigga”

The hottest rapper in the Rotten Apple (Tell ‘em I said that) has his first official radio interview with the Voice of New York.

Part 1: Missed the very beginning talk of his TV past and he pretty much confirms the Jay-Z/Just Blaze rumor is true.

Part 2: Dude praises the genius of Weezy and charms the ladies.

Bonus: The rare occasion where the clean edit is better than the dirty.

“Best I Ever Had”

You the You the > You the fuckin’

Props to DJ Ness who beat us all to the punch with his 1-2 combo. But like I did with my Kanye West SXSW footage, I like to roll my shit out chronologically so you can get the real feel of what it was like to be there. Plus, it helps me keep better track of these large ass video files. Ha!

Anyway, this is the first interesting segment of the sit down where Kamaal talks about his childhood, losing talent shows in high school and how he got down with the Jungle Brothers.
