Questlove Pushes Roots Album Back

Classic Ahmir Face. We’re too busy to make a new CD? Fuckin’ Hennessy tour? Fallon got us under pressure? Name an excuse! Ha. Nah, here’s ?uesto tweeting on why he wants no parts of the 4th quarter. If Jeezy and Ri-Ri drop, I think Antonio will forgive ’em. Props: Prefix

T.I. Wants Tiny To Stay Home

With the recent death of her former Xscape bandmate Kandi’s boyfriend, AJ, Tiny admits that Clifford is very concerned for her safety in Atlanta as he sits in the clink. “I talk to him about a little of everything, just things going on. He hears things and we talk about it. He wants me to stay out the way, me being out of harm’s way. I know it’s a lot of crazy things going on so I try to stay […]

Ryan Leslie On Good Day New York

[sparkart-clique site=”rap_radar” video=”gdny_ryan_leslie”] An hour ago, R-Les appeared on Mr. Murdoch’s morning drive. He discussed his prodigy and new album, Transition. After the cut, he gives a sprightly performance of “You’re Not My Girl.” Trini massive stand up!

Jay-Z Overtime Set (Key Arena)

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3699869&w=425&h=350&fv=] Speaking of the guy with more money than Wayne, the BP3 tour resumes in Michigan tonight (you think Marshall will leave his compound?) so here’s a long look at Hov’s last show in Seattle. He runs through three heaters from the new album and a classic medley. Let’s appreciate him while he’s here folks. Bonus: Here’s another look at Jigga’s surprise pop-up at the BET Hip-Hop Awards.

Snoop Dogg Hearts “True Blood”

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3699862&w=425&h=350&fv=configParams%3Dvid%253D447897%2526uri%253Dmgid%253Auma%253Avideo%253Amtv.com%253A447897] Despite Snoop’s Crip affiliation,  he admits to being a fan of the HBO show True Blood, on the Los Primos ’09 Awards red carpet. “You know I’m down with it,” Snoop said of name-checking the popular HBO series on his new single, “Gangsta Luv.” “I love that show. I wish I could be on it. I’d be a hell of a vampire, don’t you think? So what’s happenin’? ‘True Blood,’ get at me — Snoop Dogg wants to […]

The Clipse Freestyle (Hiro Ballroom)

So here’s another rumor that went down while I was trying to grab some shut eye. At last night’s show in the NYC, Pusha T dissed Jay-Z as evidenced by the bars he spit above? Once agin, Minya Oh clears up the madness. The verse is actually from “Big Dreams” off the last mixtape the VA duo dropped. So if it’s a shot, it’s an old shot, big shot. Ha!

Amber Rose Stands By Her Man

Over night, a terrible and false rumor was started that Kanye West died in a car accident. It’s completely untrue and his ladyfriend took to Twitter (where RIP Kanye West is still a trending topic) to clear up the madness. The Taylor Swift thing was wrong but it’s amazing how much heat this guy still has on him. So much for a post-racial America. Spotted: Miss Info

Update: Shyne Will Be Deported

Miss Info got the scoop from Angie Martinez, a good friend of Po’s who visited him often in prison, and it looks he will indeed be sent back to Belize. Shyne’s team is fighting to stay in the US where his mother and his grandmother live and where they raised him….but it seems like he’s going to have to continue the fight from Belize. Shyne will be released from Immigration custody but will then be deported to Belize soon. He […]

New Music: Z-Ro “Doin’ Just Fine”

“Heavy like a ’57 Chevy.” Mo Garland. He went and put me on. This new Z-Ro is kinda tough. I contend not enough of my fellow sites out here show love to the homies down below. East Coast bias? Yeah, we off that! A lil’ country hip-hop never hurt nobody. Ride out! Props: Blogger Noz

New Music: Young Money “Thinking To Myself”

Here’s another one floating around the Internets from Weezy’s studio. A snippet of this leaked this past Spring. Sound quality is YouTube-ish, but I can still hear hit potential. Watch Birdman make the YM bunch do this one over. Truthfully: I’m quietly hoping the only album Mr. Carter puts out this year is one with his eclectic bunch. Ha! Props: Sermon

Ursalena > Cosnarati

Sorry William, but I couldn’t get through listening to your new shit. I tried. Good intentions. Bad music. Really bad. Joe Jackson bad! Still, you’re more hip-hop than you probably know. I’ll always rock with you Cos for this one. Everybody sing along! Sidebar: For the lost disco kids.
