Webstar photos are side-splitting. Heard even C Breezy got bent at his b-day party last night. L’Chaim!

For the kids that don’t know, you’re about to witness a hip-hop classic. Last week, the Bay Area crew Souls of Mischief hit up BK during a CMJ showcase at Southpaw. Call me prejudice, but I just can’t truly enjoy seeing rappers past their prime perform live. That being said, this is more the exception than the rule.

The title’s Rated R, but this cover is suitable for all ages. According to Popeater, the image was shot by renowned photographer Ellen von Unwerth. She says, “Rihanna was looking to create something a bit new for the look of the album.” Fade to black.

William H. tells The Huffington Post that while busting a sweat, he bumps Fergie’s “Big Girls Don’t Cry.”

“I really like that song. I would sing it really loud no matter where I was at in the gym, and I know a couple other guys were singing and they won’t say it, but I’m man enough to say that Fergie’s ‘Big Girls Don’t Cry,’ Crap! I would sing that in the gym.”

When the checks start gettin’ small in the good ole USA, hop your ass on a plane and get some scratch overseas. Here’s the Queen Bee pleasin’ the Europeans a few days ago with a Vanity 6 impersonation and performances of her “Jump Off” and Puff’s “Last Night.” I swear to God, one moment this chick looks as cosmetic as a Jackson and the next, she looks almost as sexy as she was when she was spreading her legs on a poster. Plastic surgery’s a bitch.

As you rolled out of bed, Mario appeared on Good Day New York this morning. He didn’t give an interview, but performed his new single “Thinkin’ About You” and “Breakup.” Too bad he didn’t lace us with the Gucci.

Palestine’s finest flashes his upcoming single from his next album, Victory. He’s really been beastin’ on Twitter lately. To be the best, you gotta tweet the best. Ha!

Bonus: If the OG’s headline makes no sense, watch this.

After a long hiatus of JoeBuddenTV, Mousebudden returns with the second season. No Tahiry. No problem? Anyway, on the set of tonight’s BET Hip Hop Awards’ cypher, Nicki Minaj and Wale discuss the fuckery that goes on at Twitter. Get back to rap, y’all typin’ too much. Retweet, that!

For Problem’s “Day in the Life” series, Get Noticed Media follows him, the Doggfather and Nip Hussle as they shoot their upcoming video for Snoop’s Malice N Wonderland. No surprise this looks like one hell of a smokefest. Roll somethin’ up.
