Someone get HBO on the phone. This deserves a 24/7 special. Three months from now, X is going to have the opportunity to kick Eric Martinez’s ass in the squared circle. According to AHH, Martinez is also part of Earl’s management team. Hopefully, someone Flip Cam’s the mixed martial arts bout. On another note, Butterbean sure let himself go, no? Props: NR

According to VIBE and MTV UK, Kanye had another tantrum this past weekend. Backstage at the Common & Friends benefit concert he allegedly asked, “Why wasn’t I offered chicken? You want me to perform for free, [and] everyone is eating… why am I not eating?” When a waitress replied that he didn’t ask for any, he blurted, “Well, I’m asking now!” Allegedly, he took a bite and threw the rest in the trash. Waste not, want not? Bonus: I’m Hungry! […]

Freddie Booth gives a testimonial to DJ Booth over Anita Baker’s sampled “Rapture.” It all comes together when you think about it. Hallelujah, holla back.

Let’s get you up to speed. Ghost sues. He wins. And now RZA says he’ll appeal. Angela Yee gets GFK’s reaction. The saga continues. Previously: Ghostface Speaks On Suing RZA Sidebar: The funniest crew in rap!

No record deal. No clothing line. No problem. You can’t keep Eve off a red carpet nowadays as she pushes her token black role in Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut. Peep the trailer below— which is as close as I’m gonna get to watchin’ this flick. Roller derby, ma? Never that! Previously: Eve Speaks On Ruff Ryders Reunion

I’m not quite through. Got another funky Ghostface break for you. Hit it! Previously: Poetry Breaks: Sequence Fail

A lil classic material for your morning. Here’s the brothers from Long Island on their European tour grind performing one of my favorite tunes from their second classic album, De La Soul Is Dead. Clever use of the JB‘s original in the mix, but I don’t co-sign the corny car bit at the end. Ha! Full show at Grand Crew.

This album dropped nearly a year ago, but Kamaal won’t stop because he can’t stop. Deluxe Edition, anyone? YouTube? Holla at the Double R. Ha!

Cover your ears! I’m sorry, but this had to be documented. I hope you had your breakfast first. Spotted: Hattie C

He spoke on how his, um, deal with Roc Nation and kicks a freestyle. Get back to rap, you Twitter too much. #funnypunchline! Yardie

Please don’t give Lil Mama the location. Sidebar: Kanye West is bossy.

In the above magazine’s cover story, Puff comes clean on his past sexual conquests. Mama, he’s a changed man. “I guess the things that used to thrill me don’t thrill me so much anymore. Intimacy is more important to me than sleeping with hot chicks. I don’t even know if I really savored every menage a trois I had. I don’t want to do it all over again. Love is something I strongly connect with, but it’s not something I’ve […]

Ho hum!) as The Teacha pays tribute to DMX. “In the 90s, hip-hop was gettin’ soft and y’all know what I’m talkin’ ’bout… A dog came out!” Woof-woof.

I heard these two joints that one morning when I was guest co-hosting The Morning After With Angela Yee. I think we posted at least one of these but since we switched to WordPress, I can’t find it. Oh well. Anyway, Leslie’s upcoming mixtape, The Beat Made Me Do It is a problem. I guaran-damn-tee it! Props: NR, yeah I said it, NR.

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3536242&w=425&h=350&fv=] Lil Wayne says that while on tour in Florida, some promiscuous girls riddled his tour bus after he denied them sex. Meet your death in less than eight seconds, indeed. After the jump, the Clipse speak on a botched robbery, DJ A-Trak recalls switchin’ a set last minute, and Diamond D reminisces on shitty draws.

Here’s why: Why He’s Hot: Fabolous started his Loso’s Way campaign by telling the world that it was “his time,” and the boy from Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood lived up to his claim. Loso’s Way — a concept project inspired in part by the gangster film “Carlito’s Way” — became his first #1 LP on the Billboard albums chart, selling nearly 99,000 units in its […]

50 delivers a caveat to hip-hop fans that listening to Fat Joe’s music is hazardous to your health. As a fan of Mr. Jackson, I wish he devoted as much energy to his new records as he does to these skits. Not hatin’, just statin’. Thisis50

Whoever said Jimmy Iovine didn’t care about his artists? Here, he and Diddy hold court on his patio. Steve Berman of Eminem skit fame and The Game (remember him?) stop by too. Aww, it’s a family affair! ICE

For his own Shade 45 channel’s five-year anniversary, Marshall Mathers has agreed to do a couple of sitdowns. On Sat Oct. 3 at 3 pm EST, he talks about DJ Hero (Oct. 27), his New Orleans concert (Oct. 30), and his new album with DJ Whoo Kid. On Tues Oct 6 at 9pm EST, he’ll touch on the same topics with DJ Tony Touch. Hopefully “Jason From Miami” doesn’t call in. Heads up: Don’t Hate Be Hated via Hip Hop […]

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3533021&w=425&h=350&fv=] The Chef clarifies that the joint LP deal with Ghost and Meth ain’t done. See, they’re both signed to Def Jam but he’s indy and would love for the treacherous three to own the final product. Still, he recognizes that the fans come first so as long as the paperwork’s right, Shallah’s on board. The only question I’m left with is what the fuck is up with this video’s distracting background music. SMH. I don’t wanna give Gasface, […]
