Quit cuffin’ Murs, give Hav $20. Porn star extraordinaire Roxy Reynolds, struts her stuff alongside H-A-V-O-C in his latest clip. Those Flip Cams sure do come in handy.

LL And The TV Show No One Cares About

Tuesday, September 22 2009 2:18 PM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Blog, Focus

Huge billboards. Heavy promo. A primetime major TV show starring role. A huge look for hip-hop, no? Still and all, there’s no buzz and no one seems to give a fuck, Including me. I grew up a huge James Todd Smith fan, but I can’t for the life of me muster up any excitement for his latest acting gig. Maybe you can. Season premiere tonight. Check the clip above.

Where’s this song from? Damned if I know. But Kiss gets it in over a slowed down hook from Estelle’s mega-smash. Yup, I could take a full CDQ version of this. Mo’ Empire State rap por favor.

Besides hip-hop, there’s not much Calvin and I have in common. Except when it comes to the pigskin, we ride with the black, white and yellow. Haven’t you noticed the colors of the Double R, fuckers. Yup, YN wins again. Touch down. Here’s Snoop, the Super Steelers fan, on his Heinz Field adventure.

Who’s House? Lyor’s House!

Ly-or. This post’s about Ly-or. The CEO of rap let the NY Times into his home and answered a gang of questions. With candor and charisma, he bigs up everyone from P.E. to Jay-Z to the man who made Def Jam before him.

HOME HOMAGE: My house is dedicated to Rick Rubin. My day-to-day experience is fundamentally in honor of things I learned from Rick. The first day I saw him in his N.Y.U. dorm room, he was in pain because he couldn’t find the perfect colors for the Def Jam record sleeve. That’s when I learned attention to detail.

Overall, it’s a nice read.

Wow Luda’s boys have finally come up with one that hit my radar. This ain’t no “Skew It On The Bar-B,” but choppin’ it up with the Chef is a fine ATL tradition in my book. Believe it or not, Titty Boi and Dolla Boy (why don’t they change their group name to the Duffle Bag Boys) have a new album droppin’ next Tues too. I’ll leave it up to you, what you should do.

After the jump, Shallah explains why Titty is his nigga.
