The possible tourmates for Jay-Z’s next tour get it in on this new one from Young Jizzle’s new mixtape. I’ve listened to this twice and I’m startin’ to think this Drake guy really is gonna be the one.

“I believe the public builds entertainers up to destroy them for the sake of entertainment.”

On the set of his movie Twelve, the actor Curtis Jackson talks about holding back his tears. But, he does cry the blues about the state of the game and the gift and the curse of havin’ to match his successful debut.

A Roller Skating Rapper Named DMX

Friday, May 22 2009 10:55 PM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Focus

This disturbing clip leaves YN with a lot of questions:

Why is he shoutin’ at us?

Why is the mic so loud?

Why didn’t DMX do any sit-ups in the clink?

Why is the nigga on skates and who is his skating posse?

What is B.F.W. (Built For War)?

Can dude prove he can still rap on this “Who’s Real” remix?

Sidenote: I’d being shocked if the dog doesn’t come out to perform it at Hot 97 Summer Jam.

Props: Broken Cool

Eminem Admits Guest Verse From T.I. Song Was "Horrible"

Reading this New York Times article on Em and ran across this random revelation:

In the five years between his own albums, he worked as a producer, making beats for other rappers, and occasionally showed up as a guest rapper; he now calls his verse on “Touch Down,” with the Atlanta rapper T.I., “horrible.”

Hey, don’t be so hard on yourself, Marshall.

Plus: Dre admits Slim is a stubborn mule when it comes to changing his words.

“Once he makes a painting, once he lays a lyric down, it’s impossible to get him to change it,” Dr. Dre said. “If there’s a couple of lines he says on a record that’s not relevant today, it’s, ‘No, that was that painting. That was for that moment.’ “

XXL has confirmed that Joe Budden’s supergroup, Slaughterhouse has inked up with Koch E1 Music. What a shocker like Silkk. Album due in July. Don’t expect any guest appearances from Method Man, Redman and Busta Rhymes. Old joke. Ha!
