Man, miss me with the fake Jay and B quotes already. Headlines. Some of you sites will do anything for attention and traffic. You really believed B would speak to Star magazine? Tuck your tabloid in. And why would Hov need to write a letter to his daughter? Bitch please. He wrote a song! It's called "Glory" and it's pretty fuckin' revealing. He went on the record (double entendre) but you still don't get it. You may hear baby Blue's first cries but no you don't know her height, weight or what she looks like. And no you ain't gettin' a flick, fool. Can new parents get some privacy? Even if they are celebrities. Sheesh! Who raised you animals? Party at the 40/40. Paps outside. Rushin' the velvet rope. Don't trip over your integrity.
You Played Yourself
Put us here if you like. The RR store stays open 24/7. SOPA? Yeah we Showcase Our Product Always. And we're gonna continue straight ahead til somebody up there turns out the lights. Start from scratch? I'm not afraid.

Before Jermaine joined the Roc, he was just another up and coming rapper looking for his big break. In 2006, he crashed Aaron Reid (L.A. Reid’s son) birthday party in hopes of meeting Jay-Z.
In the October 2009 issue of XXL, he told Rob Markman of his experience.
“I had got a shirt made that said, ‘Produce for Jay-Z or Die Tryin’. I wore the shirt, threw the button-up over it, put a couple of beat CDs in my pocket and went to the [party]. Sure enough, Swizz Beatz, Jermaine Dupri, Diddy, Kanye, Jay-Z [were all there], and I’m in there. Who could give a fuck about Aaron Reid? Tonight’s the night!”
MTV’s Super Sweet 16 cameras were in the building and caught Cole at the :27 mark. It’s going down. Crazy. Ha!

A Bone Thugs-N-Harmony reunion wasn’t the only thing that went down last night. During the group’s performance at the House of Blues in Cleveland, Flesh-N-Bone was arrested and taken to Cuyahoga County Jail on two outstanding warrants. Last June, the rapper was released from prison after serving 10 years for assault and weapons possession.

Man, Jay Rock and Kendrick need a flick together. But anyway, back to the music. This track is perfect. With Major James on deck, the trio get their roll over beautiful pianos and hand claps. Take a listen.

During Jae Millz’s interview with True Stories radio, he questions why Cam’Ron’s protegé Vado isn’t featured on XXL‘s freshmen 10 cover and goes on to say, “Who the fuck are these other niggas…them niggas is fuckin’ wack.” OJ, yes. But everyone else? Wack? C’mon son. Now Millz is entitled to his opinion, but with all due respect, who is he to marginalize anyone’s buzz? Let’s be hooonest, for a person who’s been in the game for over a decade, there isn’t much to show for it. Although he spawned two singles in the early 2000′s, Millz never released an album and nearly faded into obscurity until Wayne signed him to Young Money. And for the last two years, he continues to search for success while Drake and Nicki Minaj have blossmed into solo stars. Timing is everything, don’t be cruel.

In another audio interview from the book How To Rap , Royce says he favors an ill flow over subject matter. Personally, I’d have to agree. I’ve always believed that it’s not what you say, but how you say it. What some artists lack for in lyrical ability, they make up for in flow. For some reason, Peedi Crakk comes to mind. He’s not the greatest rapper, but he could ride a beat like a pornstar. Peep how he kills this SMACK freestyle. On the flip side, take an artist like Papoose who has decent subject matter, but with a deadpan delivery. It’s all subjective. Just try not to get lost in translation.
