At the Sunset Strip Music Festival yesterday in Los Angeles, Cudi premiered a new track entitled, “Ghost” produced by Emile. The music is a bit distorted, but it sounds like a funky tune. Are those bagpipes? Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager coming soon.

Carmelo Anthony Threatens Kat Stacks

Sunday, August 29 2010 8:03 AM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Blog, Clutch, Gossip

Hip-Hop’s #1 groupie is at again. Apparently yesterday Kat got into a spat with NBA star Carmelo Anthony and his better half, La La Vazquez. Melo was far from mellow and reports are he lost his cool and put a 5 stacks hit on Ms. Stacks. Don’t think Commissioner Stern is gonna dig all this. The disgruntled Denver Nugget has since deaded his Twitter account. If the ref didn’t see it, is it still a foul?

The end of Lauryn Hill’s Rock The Bells set at NY’s Governors Island turned into a love fest as backstage guests Mary J Blige, Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz, Chris Rock, Jay-Z and John Legend all came out to hug it out with the enigma.

Sunday, August 29 2010 7:14 AM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, Gossip

Like Curtis Jackson, Robyn Fenty has had a twitter, but no more ghosttyping for Ri Ri. This past Friday, the Barbados beauty started socializing on the network herself. Although her ex Breezy deleted it, reports are he responded to her first tweet. Glad the keyboard was the only thing he hit this time. Read ‘em below.

When I Was 17: Asher Roth

Sunday, August 29 2010 7:11 AM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, Focus

“They were boys from the suburbs, not boys from the hood”

When this smart-ass, wannabe with a mushroom head was 17,  the prankster battled crews in a group called Suburban Threat and pushed his own mix CDs while working at Best Buy. His name is Asher Roth and he’s the best. You bought your sweatpants at Ross cause you shop for less. Mama knows best.
