During his set this past weekend on Governors Island, Lupe kicked a freebie over Jigga’s “Run This Town”. The audio is slightly muffled at times but hey, the fuck you want for free?

Yesterday, Ironman made a pit stop at the Adidas store in Chicago. A couple photos here, a couple autographs there—Wizard of Poetry everywhere September 29th.

When BBC1′s Trevor Nelson tells Jay-Z that Kanye is choosing his battles, Hov replies that his bae bro would’ve bum-rushed the VMA stage even if 50 Cent was at the podium. Ha! Pardon me, I had to laugh at that.

Wait, is that even a word? While I consult Noah Webster, The Haitian Barry White tells the 1515 Boys that Marshall is back on his bullshit with his follow up album, Relapse 2. Beautiful!

Here’s a premature taste of the next single from Lil Wayne and his crew. B Dot can hate all he wants but this is could be big. Big like “Every Girl” big. Just watch.

Sidebar: Here’s original version of song courtesy of the NMC. Thank God, they made a change.

Lloyd > Omarion. Pre-Lamar, he couldn’t even bag a Kardashian. Loser!

Bonus: 2DB got Mo’ Young Money, if you’re so inclined.

Hey, KC, we need that full “Bedrock” CDQ ASAP. Let’s go!

This broke Sunday night but now with no DJ. A lil smooth murder music for your Tuesday morning. Guess Dre found time to mix this one. Hey sounds a lil “Hurry Up This Way Again” to me. But what’d I know. It most certainly ain’t this.

Update: That was clean. Let’s get dirty!

Prison? College? Yup Algernod’s blood has done it all. And now that’s he’s finally touched the town, Gates played a big role in picking the songs for the upcoming Goon Affiliated album. Leave it to Angela Yee to get these guys to give up the goods.

What in the B.o.B. Bobby Ray bullshit is this? AHH broke the news yesterday that Killer Mike has decided to remix his rap moniker.

“I’m going with the name Mike Bigga because I really feel like I’m bigger than what I have been in the past and I’ve managed to get legendary status from being a raw rap guy in terms of being able to come out of the shadows of the hardships I’ve had,” the entertainer said as he referenced recent tragedies that have occurred in his area.

“I’ve become my own boss in a bigger partnership with Grind Time Official and Grand Hustle now and I’m just on to bigger and better things,” Bigga continued. “And I figure what better time now, going into this new season that’s going to be coming up in January when Tip get out and let the world know I’m on to bigger and better things.”

I hope when Clifford comes home, he makes Mr. Render change his mind. Oh well.

Spoiler Alert: More Than A Game is not the LeBron James story. Sorry. Hate to break it ya.  The real story revolves around Coach Joyce II and the camaraderie of five high school ballers: Sian, Dru, Willie, Romeo and, oh yeah, LeBron. Filmed over the course of nine years in Akron, Ohio, director Kristopher Belman chronicles the quintet’s transition from the blacktops to two State titles. But with success comes complacency. And as LeBron’s stock rose, so did the criticism. Do Hummers and throwback jerseys ring a bell? Eventually the “Fab 5″ straighten up and earn a National Championship in 2003. Compelling as well as entertaining, More Than A Game is awesome, baby. And that’s with a capital B.
