Here’s footage of Chris Wallace, Onyx, Junior Mafia and Naughty By Nature at the Hit Factory. Judging by their wardrobes, I’d say this was shot sometime in ’94. Peep Big’s Karl Kani hoodie? Those tees had license plates on ’em!
Sidebar: According to the Human Hip-Hop encyclopedia YN, everyone was there to record a song for a soundtrack. *Passes YN bottle of Ginkgoba*

Interview: Brian “B.Dot” Miller
On the hit 90s sitcom Saved By The Bell, Lark Voorhies’ persuasive ta-ta’s and thighs, gave pubescent boys a reason to ditch the Saturday morning cartoons. In fact, hip-hop neophyte Asher Roth recorded the ode, “Lark On My Go Kart” off his debut, Asleep In The Bread Aisle as a testament. While promoting her new film The Next Hit, Lark spoke to Rap Radar about her future endeavors and never hitching a ride with Mr. Roth.

FYI: I heart Regis and Kelly. And yesterday morning, Kimberly phone’d in to the show after her appearance on Dancing With Stars the previous night.
“You know what I love saying. I love saying your name because it just rolls off my—now, listen very carefully to what I’m going to say to you: Lil’ Kim”
Oooh, say my name baby.

Looks like Officer Ricky called in some reinforcements. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but right now, the ball is in Ricky’s court.

Seasoned rookie, Crooked I talked to Sway about the lack of support from hip-hop’s ol’ timers.
“We just fed up. It’s like You guys are the O.G.s of the industry, you laid down the foundation. Now, we’re out here stranded…People throwig up W’s, but are they really from the West Coast? Do they really represent the West Coast? Do they really have the West Coast’s best interest at mind.”

Nasir spoke to the 1515 boys about naming is new seed:
“Yeah, [we are deciding between] a few baby names,” Nas said. “It’s kinda hard “I’ve
been thinking about kinda putting something online: ‘Choose his name,’ You get a couple stacks for that. We take care of you for that. You win something real. But we’re
thinking now.”
Well, have no fear lil’ homie. Datwon’s staff already gotcha covered in the current XXL. On sale now!
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.
