Rap Radar

After pluggin’ the Last Train, Cassie, and Janelle Monae as Bad Boy’s future, Puff is put on the spot by Sway and asked if Mason Betha has any chance of being part of his next “game plan.”

“Mase has called me,” Diddy told us. “We’ve spoken. He’s basically said, ‘Just keep your eye on me. Making this switch, I gotta kinda bear this cross for a second. Just watch what I do.’ I said, ‘I’ve seen.’ He’s definitely one of the dopest MCs to ever touch the game. People can’t deny that. He’s one of the most successful. I’ve seen people come back from different things in this game. I said, ‘Yeah. Without a doubt, I’ll keep my eye on you.’ I spoke to him today. He’s out there working.”

Translation: It ain’t happening, captain. Ha!

Props: 1515 Boys

Is that you, Diddy? Yeah, YN braved the elements and after some front door static stepped up in Raekwon’s big album release party last night. It was a sweatbox in that muthafucka but I managed to commandeer a spot in the VIP and, of course, I had my flip cam. Some of you lazy herb-ass bloggers don’t deserve the benefits of my hustle. Ha! Peace to Power and the whole unit. Acapella Cappa included.

“Hoover, Hova.”

After a gang of radio interviews, Morning Show Hov touched down in the Chi and did his 1-2 thing at the House of Blues. No Mr. West, but Mr. Carter takes a lil’ time to address the “Haters,” with the song’s first ever performance. Yes sir!

It’s been well documented that Jay doesn’t jot his lyrics. But in this clip, Guru reveals that Hov uses the Mac application, GarageBand as a refrence tool. Ayo technology!
