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.

Last week, yours truly was a guest on the world-famous Star & Bucwild Show. Star had a heavy influence on my career, so it was an honor to be invited. Along with co-host White Trash Helene, we discussed how Rap Radar came to fruition and the Internet’s impact on the game.

If you want something done, you got to do it yourself. And that’s exactly what Rick Ross did as he performed “Live Fast, Die Young” without Kanye West. Teflon Don out now.

Now thatDame Dash has bounced back like round ball, The Village Voice has a feature on his resurrection. Below is an excerpt in which Dame discusses his separation from former business partner, Jay-Z. Read the rest here.
Jay signed a three-year contract to become president and CEO of Def Jam—a position he would leave in 2008 for Live Nation. He offered the rights to the name “Roc-a-Fella” to Dash and Biggs in exchange for the recording masters to Reasonable Doubt, but the pair wouldn’t make the deal. “We all earned those masters,” Dash says.
This turn of events remains bewildering. “The people that I was helping, once they realized their dreams, they did what a criminal would do,” Dash continues. “They stabbed you in the back. Think about the frustration of building a brand for years that should be taking care of your family, and then the person that was the closest to you saying, ‘Nah, you can’t have no parts of it,’ and flushing it.”

Touré got all up in Diddy’s business last night for the latest episode of On The Record. Puff discussed his Dirty Money crew, Biggie, business portfolio, and his father Melvin Combs. He says his pops didn’t work for hustlers Nicky Barnes nor Frank Lucas and that his murder deterred him from the streets. Interesting enough, there’s an article in the latest issue of VIBE that focuses on his ol’ man as well.

Let’s try this again. Yes “Massive Attack” was wack but now Minaj gets to get her martial arts on with actor Michael Jai White. Wait, she’s fuckin’ dead? Damn, damn, damn.

Trill O.G. drops August 3rd and earlier today, Decatur Dan was on hand to capture images of Bun and T-Pain as they shot the album’s next video. More flicks after the jump.

The reason for Khujo’s incarceration was on the hush, but Big Boi did confirm last week he was doing time. As you can see his Dungeon Family was in full support during his release today and took to Twitter to celebrate. Maybe now we can get that Goodie Mob reunion on and poppin’.

Like we said before, we hate snippets. But we’ll make an exception here. We heard “Mr. Rager” live, but a preview of the studio version with Kanye on the beat has emerged and it’s nice. “Mojo” isn’t bad neither. How long until the full versions appear? Hopefully Mr. Rager is on his mojo and let’s it loose.
