Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.
Oh Miguel. Leg droppin your fans? You ain't Hulk Hogan and that wasn't part of the program. That's no way to treat the adoring ladies, brother.
These daily freestyles are hard to keep up with. So to make up for my tardiness, here are some previous cuts including today’s , “Full Time Gangsta” featuring K.Dot. No relation.
“Poppin That Hammer”
jay rock-poppin that hammer
“How You Do That There”
jay rock-how you do that there
Bonus: Here’s the visual for “Mandatory”. I thought the first verse belonged to Ab-Soul. Jay, rocked me to sleep. Great track, nonetheless.
We all know our homegirl Angela Yee’s raunchy sex talk show has your favorite MCs too shook to appear on. But who knew R&B singers were in the same gang. While Chico DeBarge keeps his cool, his fellow crooner Joe catches feelings over the usage of the word “pause” and dips out of the interview. Jigga said grow a set. Ha!

Looks like Wendy Williams has two replacements for her recently departed WBLS afternoon show. Salt-N-Pepa’s here! Yup, the greatest female rap group of all-time have gone from reality TV to on-air radio disc jocks. Think I can speak for most in my circle and say I have zero interest in listening to this. Love her or hate her, Wendy’s an institution and I can’t see either one of these hip-hop legends filling up her high heels. FAIL.
My homie Fuzzy from Power 106 chops it up with Weezy and finally gets him to admit he is indeed the father of the Hollywood chick’s baby. Word to Maury.
F: Lauren London. She fine.
W: Very fine. Sexy.
F: She very pregnant with your baby.
W: Very pregnant. Yes.
F: Alright, I’ll take that as yes she’s very pregnant.
W: That’s not rumors.
F: That’s not rumors. That’s a done deal?
W: That’s a kid. That’s a child. That’s a life. You don’t hide from that. Nah.
F: So congratulations.
W: Thank you.

“Shit is weird, this the longest, niggas been apart/ I sent that money to your wifey and it came from the heart.”
H-A-V-O sends a kite to his incarcerated partner Prodigy. Like LL’s “Billie Jean” tribute, this is surprisingly good.
But then again, can you really lose with a Chi-Lites sample. I even liked this back in the days. Ha!
Off the From Now On mixtape. Here’s the full link.
Before the canceled Canadian dates (wait now Weezy’s claiming the sniffles?), AMW rolled through Concord Cali Saturday night. Jeezy continued to get his Ed Sullivan on and brought out the ambassador with the colorful language. It was only right. Fo’ shizzle.
Sidebar: Two men were arrested outside the concert that night. Oops.
Last night me and a gang of media folks paid a visit to R.Kelly’s pad on the outskirts of Chicago. As Miss Info stated, Kellz’s crib looks more like a fortress than a humble abode. Camera’s and cell phones weren’t permitted inside (how’d ya do it Minya?!) but as you enter his his living room, there’s a stage adjacent to his music awards.
After several minutes, Kelly emerged and encouraged us to make ourselves at home. Once dinner and drinks were served, he premiered his new video with Keri Hilson. Before playing the album, he jumped on his coffee table and proposed a toast. With a cigar in his left hand, he hoisted a glass of his concoction “Sex In The Kitchen” and said “May the best part of our past, be the worst part of our future”. Right on cue, Untitled began.
Sonically, the album is more rump shakin’ than baby makin’. Kellz means well with cuts like “Elsewhere”, “Echo”, and “Be My Number 2″, but falls short elsewhere with Auto-Tune (“Crazy Night”) and sluggish songwriting, (“Text Me”). Don’t expect “Bangin’ The Headboard” to wake up the neighbors.
Once the LP was complete, I confronted him about the direction of the album. I can’t front, I was a lil’ disappointed. He snickered and admitted to making his kids to his own songs. He said that he felt like [Muhammad] Ali and that this album was just “a jab”. He promised me that his follow up, Zodiac would be a reversion of 12 Play and TP2.com *crosses fingers*
Before our depature, he gave us a tour of his in-house studio. With platinum plaques lining its corridor, he talked about working with Michael Jackson and his creative process. In case you ain’t no so, Kellz writes with the hand that don’t write too. In parting, he said that on Untitled he really did his homework. Where’s a hungry dog when you need one.
As if 60 Minutes wasn’t enough, Russell Rush got M.V. to cry out to the Black folks who don’t watch the television news magazine. Grab your hanky, here he goes again.
“Sitting in a prison cell didn’t make me feel remorse. It was meeting so many animal lovers, speaking with them and looking them in their eyes. Staring at them. Looking so deep into their eyes that I began to feel their pain. Allowing that pain to enter into my body is when I started to understand how bad it really was. I have been trying hard to connect with people who feel this pain,because for my whole life I was disconnected from the suffering of animals. And you might say, “come on Mike, how could you do those things to those dogs?” And you’re right…I ask myself those questions every day. What kind of person does this? How does a human-being treat dogs or any animal with such pain and cruelty? And the hard part for me is the answer to these questions. Because the answer is ME.”

Personally, YN is on his Chocolate Milk shit.
Update: You’re a fake?

Guess Poppa Joe finally wasn’t lying for once. MJ will indeed be laid to rest on August 29th at the famous burial site, Forest Lawn Memorial Park. Pretty crazy that it’s taken this long. Thankfully, his brain will be included.
Props: Rolling Stone
Update: According to TMZ, his final resting place is in the Great Mausoleum section of the park. No go for public viewings.
