Here is Jigga’s cover story with Cigar Aficionado magazine.
“I love food and wine and sunsets. You give me a great sunset, a perfect meal, a great bottle of wine— and a cigar to finish it off— and I don’t have a care in the world.”
So much for nice cooked food and clean drawers, eh? Squint your eyes and read more after the jump. If that doesn’t work, pick up the issue at your local newsstand. Support print, cheap ass.
Calvin’s wax figure was unveiled yesterday in Las Vegas at the Madame Tussaud Wax Museum. This shit is kinda spooky. Who’s real. Who’s fake?

My former co-workers predict the album sale figures for Asher Roth and Ricky Ross.
Big Smiley: Astro? Who the hell is Astro? Who’s That?

Thanks for giving me a reason to post this, Derrick. But in all seriousness, cut the crap and quit the rap. To be frank, you suck. Anthony, I’m actually more disappointed in you. A talent like yourself should know better than fuckin’ with the musically inept. *Waves finger*

In an interview with the Associated Press, Mrs. Carter says she’s not feeling the Twitter phenomenon.
“My sister is the Twitter queen. She told me about the twittering, but I
don’t get it, I feel like I’m getting really old. I’m like what? I don’t understand. Just call me.“
Call you? What you think this is, 2008? Shawn knows what’s up.

Vibe.com reports that Ray J’s cougar is prepped for her official comeback:
“Diane Warren, the songwriter behind Houston’s comeback single, has
the goods. ‘The song is called ‘I Didn’t Know My Own Strength’, Warren
told an audience at the Experience Music Project’s annual Pop
Conference in Seattle on Friday. ‘Whitney’s back. Big time.
Warren said she wrote the song specifically for Houston. ‘I tried to
get inside her head,’ Warren said about the track, which Houston
performed at Clive Davis’ Pre-Grammy Gala on February 7. “Strength”
will be featured on the 45-year-old singer’s seventh solo album, and
will be produced by famed hitmaker David Foster. “
Should be interesting to see how Whit fares in the land of the Auto-Tune.
Bonus: YN was at the aforementioned gala before Rap Radar launched. We lost.
Man, this drop from Masspike Miles is seriously smooth from start to finish. The Road Less Traveled totally delivers on that signature R&B vibe, and the production choices across these tracks are just insane. It honestly feels more complete than a lot of full-length albums out right now. Tracks like "Devoted" with Bun B and the title track hit different when you are just cruising around the city late at night. If you are heading out to grab the physical copy or hitting up a late-night listening session across town, trying to flag down reliable taxi services can sometimes be a real hassle, so planning ahead definitely saves the mood. Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
