Two nights ago at The Phillips Arena in Atlanta, Trey and his fellow inventors performed the remix at Hot 107.9′s Jingle Ball concert. Tiger Woods putts and all.

Lupe Reacts To “YN’s Blackout”

Monday, December 28 2009 1:41 AM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, True Story

Last night, Lupe Fiasco responded to Yellow Nigga’s “Blackout” rant at his home base. Sorry folks, but there’s no “beef”. As the saying goes, opinions are like— well, you know, and everyone has one. Even YN. Personally, I’m ambivalent towards Lupe’s music. One minute, I’m totally engrossed. (see: “Hip-Hop Saved My Life”) The next, I’m completely lost in translation (see: “Shining Down”).

Despite Elliott’s gripes, we’ve got a job to do. Personal feelings go the way of Ron Browz. At the end of the day, Lupe’s maintained his relevancy and earned some hardware along the way. As YN said, if the young bucks want ‘em, find him at this very URL. No Losers here.

DJ Enuff’s Torn On Playing “Exhibit C”

Monday, December 28 2009 12:29 AM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, True Story

DJ Enuff is experiencing a crucial conflict. On his blog yesterday afternoon, the Heavy Hitter put himself through the ringer for not playing Jay Electronica’s “Exhibit C” on your Hot Nine Seven. Since Enuff’s taking suggestions, here’s my two cents. Screw the politics and go with your gut. If a record’s dope, play it. Let’s not forget, the DJ is the soul controller. With several hundred spins, a song can go  from “Ok” to “That’s my shit!”  Don’t second guess. Your listeners will thank you later.

In the second installment of Birdman’s day in the life, Stunna catches up with Jay Sean and jet sets across the pond for their album release parties. Afterward, they head to Atlanta and then return to the Big Apple. Great way to rack up them frequent flyer miles.
