Rap Radar

So we close the RR behind-the-scenes show with the latest from Wale’s upcoming Attention Deficit. No word if Jazmine Sullivan will be joining in on the fun tonight. But this just in: Bunyan got his biz partner ONE ticket and YN will be in the building solo dolo. You can hate me now. I know, you already do. Ha!

Ever see one of XXL‘s celebrated freshmen cover the music of a fellow one? Well, here ya go. Tonight, you’ll see Scotty in the flesh, but this is a gem as Wale proves he knows all the words to his homie’s biggest hit. Also in the other clip, proves he can do a mean Gucci Mane impersonation. And you can throw in a DJ AM dedication too boot. You’re welcome!

It’s been a minute since we’ve seen footage of Asher P. larking on his go-kart. So to make up for lost time, here he is performing track one off Asleep In The Bread Aisle. Live band included.

I bet you never heard Coldplay go-go’d out before. But most importantly, do you think Wale will come up off his flip cam footage for the Double R? Time will tell. In the meantime, just listen to some Merriweather music. And the band played on! That’s right, we go out and document culture. You should do the same, lames.

Yesterday afternoon, I got to witness Wale and UCB prove to an MTV exec that they’re well prepared to be the VMA’s house band for this evening’s proceedings. Here, they run through two of Mr. Folarin’s biggest tunes. Oh yeah, I’m gonna be at the shindig tonight—somehow, someway. Ha!
