He’s definitely one of the best. He’s like one of the craziest wordsmiths. His verses are amazing and I look up to him in hip-hop, so that co-sign, definitely once they said it in perspective, it was like, ‘Wow.’“ Will Young Mr. Simmons be blessed with a track is the question?

Late last night while some of us were sleep, Mouse took to his social network device and expressed mo’ thoughts about the recent fuckery in his life and how he often feels misunderstood. Think I’m gonna give this guy a hug next time I see him. No homo.

Despite the bizarre elevated stage, Mr. Rivers tore down his brief set during the Urb showcase in Tex. Here’s a couple of energetic performances of tracks 2 and 4 off that 4075: The Refill mixtape. If you still ain’t up on that yet, get the fuck up out this post. Ha!

Peeped this morning that Peter Rosenberg let loose the last 3 minutes of his talk with Bun. Well, here’s the final 10 mins. In the first clip, Bun tells the story once again of how “Big Pimpin’” came to be in more detail than I ever heard before and, after the jump, he speaks on his upcoming collabo with Nas and Preemo. As you’ll see at the end, it’s whole career is dedicated to his partner Pimp C. Real niggaz […]

Yellow Scorsese is back with more dopeness from the Smoking Section/Nah Right showcase in Austin. Here’s Gangsta Gibbs givin’ it up to some legends who inspired him in their hometown. Up top, he tackles a Geto Boys classic and, on the other side, he dedicates his “Iodine Poison” to Pimp C. So so trill.

Keri tells MTV that her sophomore LP will be influenced by the sounds of the Motherland. As for that elusive mixtape, well, that’s anybody’s guess. “Everywhere I travel, I get music from that region of the world. I’ve been to Nigeria, I’ve been to South Africa, three cites in Africa [in all]. I gather music from these regions, and African music is very drum-heavy. It was very inspiring. I’m definitely going to be using some of that inspiration.”

Drake couldn’t make it to S.O.B.’s last night, so Nipsey recited his verse from their “Killer” collaboration.
