Teddy Bear was laid to rest today in Philly and Black Ty did more than just pay his respects. Hey, I didn’t know Tyrese was playing Pendergrass in an upcoming biopic either. Interesting.

Alternate Video: Lil Wayne “Money On My Mind”

Saturday, January 23 2010 9:06 PM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Blog, Focus

Remember Tha Carter II? Not to be confused with the second part of this, here’s an unreleased visual shot by Jordan Tower of the same song. The black-and-white Sunshine State scenery is cool but most interesting is the shot of Wayne holdin’ a copy of 50 Cent’s book at the 3:24 mark and then laughin’ into the camera. Hmm. So watcha sayin’ Weezy?

Kanye West “What It Is” (Demo)

Saturday, January 23 2010 3:18 PM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Blog, Music

I know, I know, this isn’t new. It’s just an early recording of ‘Ye’s contribution to a song for some girl group I never heard of. But, I’m posting this for three reasons. A) It’s Saturday so things are a lil’ slow. B) It gives RR a chance to showcase one of Mr. West’s new jackets and C) Y’all niggas are so fiendin’ for a new Kanye album I might as well feed you something to snack on. Ha.
