Grilled on the red carpet, Jeezy bigs up Drake again and claims he got six or seven Kanye West produced tracks for TM103. Will he end up with more ‘Ye joints than BP3? That is the question.

Time to move away from the Jigga crusade and prove you can make hit records and still actually rhyme? I’m wit’ it. Shout-out to Mr. Smith’s favorite band, 1500 Or Nothin but the chance of this makin’ The Red Album is 50-50. That beat at the end is knockin’ though. Really doe.

Michael Jackson's Pepsi Accident Footage

Miss Info Speaks On Ma$e's Resurgence With MTV

Wednesday, July 15 2009 4:53 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Focus
 
So last night, Miss Info alluded on Hot 97 that Ma$e and Cam’Ron were working together on an upcoming album. Shortly after, Cam called her repudiated the claim. Sorry, but no Cancun trips here folks. By now, we’re all aware of Ma$e’s return from the pulpit…again. Three weeks ago, he called DJ Self’s show on NY’s Power 105 and said that MJ’s death was his motivation. In fact, in his VIBE June/July 1999 cover story, ironically penned by Info, he talked about wanting to be like Mike. It’ll be interesting to see how this one pans out though. Either way, expect that nigga Puff to make mad more cream.
