“The king of Africa!”

Well, here’s something you don’t see everyday: A Puerto Rican in Africa. In the clip Fat Joe goes to Angola and gets in touch with his “R.O.O.T.S.” No Flo Rida.

Rap’s Medusa Erykah Badu scribbled her John Hancock on 100 limited edition prints of herself created by artist Steven Lopez. Now, if she could only use her magic powers to get Jay Electronica to sign a recording contract, we’d be on to something!

“Yo, call me the Bob Backlund, I’ll break backs on hoes that look like Toni Braxton.”

Hot 97’s Peter Rosenberg went one on one with WWE WWF Superstars at the Wrestlemania 25 press conference. It’s crazy that Wrestlemania is in it’s 25th year. Remember when they sold out the Pontiac Silver Dome?! Growing up, Hulk Hogan was a notch below God in my eyes. And whenever Wrestlemania or any PPV rolled around, I had the illegal cable box ready to go— that is of course, until it got too hot and I had to unplug it for 30 seconds. Ah, those were the days.

The Rosenthals and Nick Cannon address rumors and those damn internet typers. 

“The only thing dead about Nick is his rap career!”

Hungry? Well hit up Obama Fried Chicken on the corner of Rockaway Blvd & Rutland Rd in Brooklyn. (Billy and Fame, what’s good?!) We hear the Michelle thighs are dee-licious. Tell em, YN sent cha.

YN’s new favorite rapper sat down with MTV’s Tim Kash and talked about his debut LP, Asleep In The Bread Aisle. As previously reported, “Be By Myself” is the official follow up to “I Love College.” I swear, this has to be the fastest mixtape to album release in rap history.
