Tuesday, February 16 2010 8:35 PM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, Focus

From last week’s Pun & Dilla tribute on Toca Tuesdays, Just reflects on the first time he met Mr. Rios. He says that Pun purchased unnecessary equipment for his studio and in return to help him fix the problem, he let Just walk away with $15k-$20k worth of production gear. Damn, Just sure hit a goldmine.

Game’s Childish Games

Tuesday, February 16 2010 5:23 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, True Story

Looks like The R.E.D. Album‘s got a new release date. Now, ihategame as much as he hates himself. And over the last couple months, he’s been telling us sweet little lies. Back in October, he said he was releasing four mixtapes in a week. Never happened. Then in November, he said the LP was dropping February 16th (which happens to be today). Nada. Apparently, he rejoined Aftermath Records last week too. But when Chuck isn’t playing Pinocchio, he’s been seen in the the studio with Ashanti, Pharrell, and Common. There should be music in the can, but we’ll probably have to wait and see how true that is.
