Rap Radar

Press release was sent out today to announce the upcoming release of Memph’s 5th allbum. His first post-Roc full-length is due Nov 24th on his own Get Low imprint and distributed by a Boston-based company called Mass Appeal. No worries Hov is still involved, exec-producing the album and there will be a major label level-assistance on the feature tip from Pharrell, Rick Ross, Just Blaze, etc. Save your weed carrier jokes. I fucks wit Mr. Cox. [Pause?] Ha!

Good luck, Malik.

Last night all the cool kids were in Cali to support Miss Keri’s latest video shoot. So if you wanna get your voyeur on and stop and stare at Polow Da Don, Monica, Young Money’s Omarion, and “Fuck Boy” Brown—this clip goes out to you, to you, to you. You are not alone.

“I guess your mind was playin’ tricks on you like Bushwick Bill.”

Cons invades the R. Les track with some quick bars off top. Does dude have a new mixtape on the way? Holla at YN.

My neighbor weighs in on the Plaxico case, the flick he’s filming, and praises ‘Ye’s verse from “Run This Town.” Don’t touch my mail, Lonnie!

Of Course: Fake Shore Drive

Now this is the Beans I know. Peep the new visual directed by Picture Perfect. It’s nothing like it, I swear.

Update: Sigel on the set knocks out an interview.

 Omarion is gettin’ his tweet on. Says he did not get served.

 1-2-3: We Don’t Believe You!

I think Bow Wow goin’ to Cash Money had something to do with it.

UPDATE: O Speaks. Someone needs to explain to me what this SayNow shit is all about.

I like BOBO, but wait a minute… Ha! Here’s a pretty extensive look at Mr. Deini during the making of his video to Wizard of Poetry‘s first single. Lots of crispy colors here. That Lacoste bucket is mean. Raheem goes acapulco. And you can’t hear shit at the end. Thanks, Def Jam!

Uh-oh, looks like Kamaal’s calling on Bloomberg’s countrymen to put an end to his incumbency this November. According to Tip’s Twitter account, he gripes that the Mayor is going to “turn the city into the office for rich folk and kick out the middle class/poor folks.” When you consider the gentrification of neighborhoods in Harlem and Brooklyn, Tip isn’t completely off his rocker. Hell the price for a one bedroom in, could feed a third world country. Transportation fare’s up, and let’s not forget about that pesky smoking ban that has eskay in a hissy fit. Screw it, I’m with you Tip. Let’s get someone else to run this town. Rosenthals you down?

The new owners of VIBE deliver the 5th anniversary of their other magazine. And who’s more worthy to grace it than this ATL fella under the umbrella. But does anyone really think Usher’s gonna put out an album anytime soon? With Kells about to catch a brick, the R&B game could use it.

Fresh off wrappin’ up Hov’s opus, No I.D. plays Big Sean some rejected BP3 tracks. Ha! Just playin’. This beat is actually dope and open enough for you Internet MCs to get your rhyme on over it. Fuckin’ thieves. RAP!
