Come Sunday evening, when the Vikings take on the Saints in his hometown for the NFC Championship game, Weezy reveals to MTV that he is rooting for the other team. “I believe the Vikings will win because of the running attack,” Wayne assessed. “The Saints give up about 150 rushing yards a game, and the Vikings have arguably the best running back in the game [Adrian Peterson]. … I believe the Vikings defense will frustrate Brees.” Don’t front, Weezy you’re a Favre […]

Damn, I might’ve left too soon. You think? The Queen Bee came out and did “The Jump Off”. Oh well. I think I’ll get over it. Sidebar: Is that you Petey? Milk Carton 4 Life. Freshalina

“This man is a musical genius” Before I headed to BK to see Jay Elect, I actually stopped by Timbo’s show at Irving Plaza for a grand total of 20 mins. So I missed Puff comin’ out and doin’ “Mo Money, Mo Problems”. Hmm. Not bad. Bonus: Here’s some strange show opening footage I caught of Tim. Hey, I stay with the Flip, kid. Sample this!

One of the greatest groups in history reunited last night. Ashamed to admit I missed this. Hey, I’m 39 I need to catch some shut-eye sometimes. Sorry Kamaal. I saw you walkin around the spot incognito like the fuckin’ “Hot Sex” video. Ha! Omen UPDATE: LTD Mag got better footage.

[vodpod id=Video.2904676&w=425&h=350&fv=] Here’s the Press Play intv as promised, which is pretty blah until the 3:40 mark when Wale puts together a couple of fictional supergroups. Who knew dude was such a Young Dro fan.

Finally got a chance to check out the visual from Sha Money XL’s new artist, Kidd Kidd. Remember, dude used to roll with Lil Wayne and was the feature on “Mrs. Officer”. Here, he laments the losses his hometown suffered from Hurrricane Katrina and dedicates the song to the people of Haiti. Good stuff.

Back in December, The Officer performed in Wyclef’s homeland. WSHH just released some behind the scenes footage, but I prefer the clip above that I found on YouTube. Pretty sure, this won’t be the last time we see a rapper perform there.

Here’s some mo’ flicks of Weezy and The World’s Most Dangerous Group (ha!) creating the video for “Roger That”. While in Miami, they actually shot another visual to “Girl I Got You” too. Happy happy joy joy! Lil Wayne HQ

According to Billboard, Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie are revamping the global anthem, “We Are The World”. The record was recorded 25 years ago in support of Africa relief.

So far, invited guests include Usher, Natalie Cole, and John Legend. Surely, more to come.

What more can I say? Jay Elect and RR get top billin’, chumps. Ride with us or collide with us. Ha!

A gang of rap all-stars came out to support Phife from A Tribe Called Quest’s battle with diabetes. Jeru, Dres, KRS-One, Busy Bee, Greg Nice, you name it. But rap’s new phenom really shined with his stellar set. It was Jay Elect’s house as he brought out Talib and Mos for everyone’s favorite posse cut. One mo’ time! And oh yeah, fuck a watermark, I shot this and if you steal my footage I want 700% or I’m gonna out […]
