You guys don’t want it with Hov. Curtis just informed the 1515 Boys that Before I Self Destruct is droppin’ Sept 29. No 9/11 battle with Mr. Carter. Put your popcorn away. Eat some breakfast first.

No Grammy For Kid Cudi

Oh no, it can’t be. Kid Cudi took to Twitter yesterday to lament his album Man On The Moon‘s push back to Sept. 15 which will now make it ineligible to win a Grammy the following year. Like, he was really supposed to win one out the gate. Guess he really is Kanye’s artist. Cleveland’s finest blamed it on the album packaging deadlines and also expressed that unlike Curtis and his PR machine, he doesn’t want to go toe-to-toe with a new Jigga CD. These young MCs and their meltdowns… Smh.

La Flare channels his inner Rin Tin Tin and performs “I’m A Dog” at Club Libra in Atlanta. Personally, I’d hate to see any females rock to this song. I love my sistah’s. I don’t love no bitch.

“Hustlin’ wit my child.” 

No, this joint ain’t about Queens. It’s Nawlins favorite father-son combo (sorry Millers) back with another one from Baby’s next album. The smart money says Priceless hits retail before Rebirth. Belee Dat.
