She’s recording!

If you haven’t noticed these rap niggas are really gettin’ them college show checks lately. Here’s Da Snowman from a lil’ over a week ago in Bobby Knight land. 

“The way I put words together. Reminds me of how I used to put the birds together.”

True story: Jeezy had a show in Rochester that I planned on troopin’ to. But, it’s 6 hours away from BK. Not lookin’ good. Plus: Celtics/Bulls, Pacquiao/Hatton and the new Em video. We’ll see.

A day after his wife filed for divorce, Nas delivered an emotionally-charged show for a group of NYC schoolboys and girls.

And yes, Jungle was in the house for “Oochie Wally.” Your dreams have now been fulfilled.

Still salty Weezy replaced Jeezy, but you gotta recognize Busta’s hustle to turn his moves into big time events.

“This is definitely one of the most phenomenal days for me. Mr. Idris Elba, Christopher Robinson, Tyrese, Adam Rodriguez (of “CSI: Miami”), Xzibit, Raekwon the Chef, Wayne, Jadakiss, Bishop Lamont. … Big up to Debbie Coda, the beautiful young lady who blasted off on the chorus. The Flipmode! I don’t know what else to say other than God is good.”MTV

The Young Money femme fatale that’s got all the fellas open, shares her thoughts on a wide range of topics with BET’s troublemaker. And this is only part uno.

What’s Ebony/Jet doin’ with this dopness? Before the L.I. trio get into “Breakadawn,” Posdnous rhymes his ass off. I don’t even know the song or if it’s a freestyle, but it’s hot. (Insert Young Buck YN’s confused joke).

“I’m a hustler did numbers in a drought/ You at your mom’s crib for the summer on the couch/A lot of niggas suck, nothin’ to figure out/They put themselves in the hole want you to dig them out.”— Jason

“I own it. Are they part of Dip Set?… What you got to realize there wouldn’t be a bunch of Skull Gang, Byrd Gang, if they could exclude me from Dip Set. You wouldn’t be makin’ up all these other names if you could kick me out of Dip Set. I own Dip Set so you can never kick me out of Dip Set.”
 
And oh yeah, no Hot 97 Summer Jam reunion.

May 19th: World Premiere Edition

 3am-rapradar.com

Although Eminem’s new album drops weeks from now, tomorrow, he’s premiering his video “3.A.M.” on Cinemax. But Marshall isn’t the only act hitting the display racks on May 19th. In fact, five of his peers are coming out the same day too. And of course, their videos are sure to follow. So, instead of the traditional 106 debut, we thought of some other networks where they could premiere them. Check your local listings.

Guru: 8.0 Lost and Found – History Channel
Guru’s been in the game for years. And what better way to show your stripes than on a network dedicated to all things of yesteryear.  

Fat Joe: J.O.S.E. 2– Univision
Joe could really hit his target demographic if he premiered the video for his second single here. “Sabado Gigante” ain’t poppin’ like it used to.

Redman & Method Man
: Black Out 2– AMC
Reggie and Clifford are hip-hop originals. So what better way to validate your spot than after a Humphrey Bogart flick?

DJ Drama: Gangsta Grillz The Album Vol. 2– Fox News
Two years ago, the Feds cam after Dram on racketeering charges. And what better way to stick it to the man than on Bill O’Reilly’s home turf.  We got dirt on you doggy!

Busta Rhymes
: Back On My Bullshit- BET
Fuck it, if it ain’t broke…
