Rap Radar

Summer ends this week, but Game and his pals close the season out on a good note with a BBQ in L.A. Reminds us of the Snoop and Dre video. Anywho, Game’s Jesus Piece coming in December.

Trying to maintain balance, Wiz walks the tight rope on the October/November issue of Complex. Below is an excerpt on what may be the reason for O.N.F.I.C.‘s delay. Full story here. Photoshoot after the jump.

What does command Wiz’s full attention is his upcoming album. He and everyone in his camp feel confident about O.N.I.F.C.—everyone, apparently, except for Atlantic Records.

“Atlantic likes O.N.I.F.C.,” says Wiz. “But they want more obvious singles because that’s what sells it for them. My belief in the record is what sells it to me. It’s not a conflict. You just have to communicate so everybody understands it.”

Wiz is looking for that delicate balance. “When you’re working with other people, you figure out how much you do for them and how much you do for yourself,” he says. “You can’t just be an artist fighting for your opinion and that’s it. The label has to understand artists. I wanted to make Rolling Papers when I made Rolling Papers, now it’s time for O.N.I.F.C. Now we’re going to do it exactly how I want to do it to see how that works. It can’t be one-sided.”

Earlier this week, Tyga kicked off his tour at Club Nokia and brought out Breezy, Wiz and Game for the debut performance of Game’s new single. Video and remix coming soon.

Bey revealed her pregnancy at last year’s VMAs, and tonight Wiz and Amber announced they’re expecting their first child on the red carpet. Congrats!

Wiz Khalifa is hitting the road once again and this time, he’s bringing the whole gang with him. See where the trek stops after the jump. Don’t worry, they’re all in 2012.

As Miguel’s track continues to make its rounds, it now falls into the hands of Taylor Gang’s own for yet another remake. Who got next?

Summer events at the park sure bring the hood out. But before Game’s official video arrives, 1500 or Nothin gives us a look at last week’s shoot from their point-of-view.

UPDATE: More footage VIBE now with Weezy present.

Game wasted no time shooting the video a few days ago for his new track. No Lil Wayne spotting yet, but here’s our first look at the rest from the shindig in L.A.

No Drake? No problem. So both Jeezy and Weezy put some overtime for Wiz Khalifa’s radio hit. Remix, baby. O.N.I.F.C. in stores September 18.

Premiered this morning on Big Boy’s Neighborhood, Game channels those thugs with his new track. Pop a bottle and party like it’s E. 1999.
