Rap Radar

Nearly 48 hours after shutting down Saturday Night Live with Eminem, Weezy retreated to his blog and discussed his performance and upcoming Rolling Stone cover.

Hello World & Fellow Martians! I hope you enjoyed my Saturday Night Live performance. I can’t describe what it felt like being back in my element. I wanted to share some behind the scenes photos from my Rolling Stone photo shoot. The shoot was in Miami two weeks ago and just being able to do this type of stuff again is therapeutic.  Be sure to pick up the issue when it hits stands. Thank you to the people at Rolling Stone for the opportunity.

PS.

Thank you for making 6 foot 7 foot #1 on itunes, you will continue to be #1 in my heart.

Here’s the cover art for Busta’s protege’s new project. The Gift drops the day before Xmas but check dude out on Shade 45 tomorrow along with guest co-host Joell Ortiz. Freestyle session is gonna be fire! Get your tape decks ready!

There’s only 11 days left until the New Year, which means more end of the year lists are coming. Allindstrom asks YN, Angela Yee, Riggs of Shady Records, and others their choice for the most improved artist of 2010. Some selections may surprise ya. What’s yours?

This year’s been promising for Killa Kyleon, but at the top of 2011, he will be releasing his newest project, Natural Born Killa 2. Here’s some in-studio footage of him recording “New Thousand 11″. Happy New Year.

The Yellowest Nigga on the planet returned to host Shade 45 this morning and got a sleepy Just Blaze on the horn. Missed it? Well get familiar below.

Break 1: Just Talks Saigon

Break 2: Joe Talks Budden

Break 3: Just Speaks On Master Of The Mix finale

Break 4: Just Discusses Jay Electronica

And so it begins. It looks like another Bangladesh instrumental will make its rounds around town and here’s Grafh’s take. Better get used to these.

Travis Barker called DJ Whoo Kid two days ago on Shade 45 and at the 4:20 mark premiered this new freestyle featuring Tech N9ne. Hear those drums? It can’t get much harder than this.
