This was snapped last night on the Houston leg of the AMW Tour. They say a picture’s is worth a thousand words, but to see Fresh and Slim stand beside each other is ineffable. If you remember, Fresh left Cash Money beacause he wasn’t earning enough of it. But that was then, this now. Let’s wipe the slate clean and do it real big fellas. The game needs it. Belie’ dat.

DMC's Michael Jackson Moment

Sunday, August 23 2009 2:14 AM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Focus

This is pretty funny. DMC talks about the first time he met Michael Jackson and his pet monkey, Bubbles. God bless the dead, but Mike was one strange muthafucka.

Young Problemz Feat. Mike Jones x Gucci Mane “Boi” (Video)

Saturday, August 22 2009 9:57 PM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Blog, Focus

Now this is a Bun B co-sign I can truly get behind. I’ve been sleepin’ on this H-Town shit, it goes harder than a muthafucka. I gotta holla at Joey IE at Asylum ’cause I never even heard of this group. They even got Mike Jones sounding good on this, Kid Cudi references and all. Gucci’s on here too but it’s almost unnecessary. This is unquestionably a banger. I dare you to not like it!

Oh shit, Kid Legend tried to tell us, we didn’t listen. Ha!

If you’re nice enough to me, I’ll throw the instrumental up. You East Coast MCs better join the party and get your bars up on it.

Update: OK, it sounds like “A Milli” but fuck it, it’s hot!

“My image and the way I am would project a vision to yourself that OK, he’s not the one to be played with.”

Wow, look at young Reggie Noble. I can honestly say I’ve never seen this. Guess I was still establishing my industry connects back then. Anybody seen Taren Mitchell lately? Ha!

Killer Mike Speaks On Pill's "Trap Goin Ham"

Saturday, August 22 2009 6:49 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Focus

ATL’s underground king gives his stamp of approval for Pill’s startling visual. According to Mike, the clip was shot mere minutes from a police precinct and the state Capitol. Sigh. Either they don’t know, don’t show, or don’t care about what’s going on in the hood. © O’Shea Jackson. 

Bonus: Here’s the man himself performing “Trap Goin Ham” last night at Santos in NYC.
