Newcomer, J.Rocwell goes after some of YNs friends colleagues over 50′s seminal track, “How To Rob.” One of the fucks mentioned deserve to have their pockets turned into bunny ears.

I always viewed Clifford’s affiliation with Mr. Jackson as a conflict of interest. It probably never sat well with Clyde either.

My former employer chopped it up with La Flare’s protege, in the skreets of New York. In the clip, he talks about making the transition from trapper to rapper.
 
Sidebar: The Juiceman > OJ Da Juiceman. As YN would say, he must be a killa.

As you can see by the Twitter update, it appears that Lil Jon’s new phone

number used to be Miley Cyrus’. Oh well, at least the jack is in good hands. Imagine if this guy got a hold of it. Yikes!

Ryan Leslie Gets It In With Keri Hilson x Fabolous

Friday, April 10 2009 3:02 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Focus
 
Fabolous, Keri Hilson and Doug Funnie Ryan Leslie make magic happen at a late night studio session. For a person so talented, its sad that R-Lez’s debut went floptanium earlier this year. Maybe if he’d take that damn tube out his mouth at the :54 second mark, it won’t happen again.
 

Eminem's VIBE Real Rap Cover x #1 Stan Contest

Following the success of last year’s issue with Young Jeezy, Eminem graces the cover of VIBE‘s 2nd Annual Real Rap magazine. On stands May 19. The same date his album Relapse is due to drop. But even more interesting is an interesting contest revolving around the issue. 

“VIBE Verses Presents No. 1 Stan” gives aspiring artists a chance to showcase their skills to the man himself, Marshall Mathers who will crown the finalists. 

“Battling is the way I came up, so it’s gonna be interesting to watch a rap battle unfold online,” states Eminem. “VIBE is taking it out of the clubs and street corners and putting it on the net.  MCs better bring it, because I’m watching.”

After the jump, peep the details.

“In the contest’s first phase, all entrants will rhyme for 60 seconds over a specially selected instrumental track and submit video clips of their performance on numberonestan.com due by April 21, 2009. VIBE will send the Top 10 finalists (determined by VIBE.com user votes) a second instrumental track to rhyme over for 60 seconds, which will then be submitted to Eminem for careful review. His personal selection of the final two will be made by May 8, 2009. Arrangements will be made for the two finalists to be flown to a VIBE event where the winner will be crowned by audience response, presented with an engraved microphone certifying them as Eminem’s “No.1 Stan,” and featured in VIBE magazine and on VIBE.com.”

I gotta feeling the Internet is about to go nuts.
