Here’s some footage from Hennessy themselves of last night’s Com and friends festivities. They sure believe in short clips, huh? Anywho, Kamaal came through and dropped a gem from the first Tribe album. Guess this one still gets the ladies excited. And they just can’t hide it.

Here’s a behind the scenes look at the making of the Brothers theme song as Snoop assists Michael Strahan and Daryl “Chill” Mitchell with their microphone techniques. Tha Dogg is a guest on the Fox show’s Friday night episode at 8 EST. Also check the end of the clip where Calvin says after “Gangsta Luv,” his next single is called “I Wanna Rock Right Now.” Um, Rob Base, anyone?

No kufi smacks, but if the Pastor hopes to do business with Da Capo, Mr. Jones tells Angie Martinez that a face-to-face meeting is required. Until then, don’t expect no MP3’s in your in-box, Betha. Bonus: The new visual from The Rooftop album. I’m sure you know: All the wife’s red bottoms are official tissue. [vodpod id=Groupvideo.3604502&w=425&h=350&fv=v%3DnUDCEBsi2FL2vUd2%26ccolor%3D]

Funkmaster Flex pays his respects to his forefather in the radio game.

With the dude Q, formerly of MTV, Clef breaks down how Chappelle got his group back together a few years ago. Unfortunately, egos messed it all up again. Does anybody in 2009 really think there’s gonna be another Fugees album or a L-Boogie, Whitney Houston-style comeback? I don’t see it, kids. Props: GG

How high can you go.

But finally, there’s a new number one song in the land. And the artist is as light as Drake and a fellow Birdman earner. What the hell is a Jay Sean? And it features Lil Wayne? Weezy doesn’t even perform this in concert. We still need a board. Baby’s bank account is monstrous. SMH.

Last night, Mr. NextSelection charmed the press with the playing of some selections from his next album, Transition. Showing Out has a detailed preview (Pusha T made the CD), Global Grind got some video, and if you were wondering where your industry girlfriend was last night—she was probably there.

Dana Owens came through last night to Common’s Hennessy event and did her one-two thing. Yeah, her Royal Highness can still rock a crowd. Check the first two minutes of this clip for further evidence. Us lazy Rap Radar staffers lost. Props: Team Miss Info

“You can catch me with OG (Juan) at the Yankee game.” Bonus: Sa Prize, niggas!

Musical salutes to the Gloved One? Yup, we’re still ON that. The former frontman of Tony Toni Tone fires up the Motown funk in France. Fresh shit! Sidebar: I’m not gonna believe MJ sang back-up on either version of “Girls, Girls, Girls” until Mr. Carter re-confirms. I don’t hear it. Props: Miss Passion

Something about that headline is strange. Anyways, Kamaal has a new video so he endured the Terrence and Rocsi experience. He talks Norah Jones, boxing, his Hip-Hop Awards nomination, Nas, Jamie Foxx and his favorite rappers. Riveting stuff.

On the set of a photo shoot for her new album, AK reveals to AP at the 1:28 mark that she’s planting her flag on the Internets. Damn, more competition. “I felt there’s a missing piece in the blog world that allows you to have a really, inspiring positive experience. We don’t have to tear each other down to have a good time… It really calls out to all those brilliant,  amazing, fantastic women every day that are doing their […]

19K in the first week? You kids deserve spankings. New year. Same story. Damn. Keep your head up, Starks!

Here’s a taste of chocolate, Big Daddy Kane, performing as the surprise act at the Hennessy Artist Series stop in Houston. Common and The Roots bring the fun to the NYC tonight which I’m sure will include a gang of guests. If I’m not too lazy, I might stop by. Spotted: 2DB

Jeezy’s new joint has the Beewirks’ beat from Cam and DJ Drama’s mixtape. The J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League doubled up at Def Jam. And now, Usher’s divorce tale takes a track from a Gorilla Zoe mixtape. *Slaps forehead* There’s really no such thing as an exclusive nowadays. Zaytoven on the upgrade. Heads Up: Young Safe The Scoop: Smoking Section Sidebar: Singing about signing divorce papers and you haven’t signed them? Sigh.

The world’s greatest rap vlogger speaks on the famous movie director who’s recent arrest over a 1977 sex case has lead to a outpouring of support from the film community. Should he be jailed after being in exile for over 30 years? I say, Yes. A few weeks ago, Angela Yee and I got into a big debate about this topic on her Shade 45 morning show. Thankfully, Jay wins the argument for me. Thanks, pal. Ill Doctrine

Jay-Z wasn’t the only Carter on his international hustle last night, Lil Wayne took his crew to Amsterdam. If you remember awhile back, Dwayne canceled his European dates, but he’s returned to get that passport stamped. In the above clip, he’s still doing Drake’s part from “Every Girl” as Baby’s new cash cow recuperates. The fun continues in the UK tonight and tomorrow. Sidebar: I’m starting to get excited about the “No Ceilings” mixtape. I miss the Mixtape Weezy.

“You say you want the cookie? You’re gonna have to wait for the cookie.” Who’s Lola, you ask? It’s Jennifer Lopez tryin’ to get her music career back on track with the help of Pitbull and production by The Neptunes. Coincidentally, with all this Shyne talk, J-Lo’s back in the mix. It’s been a long time since the Nine-Nine. I hate to admit it, but this tune ain’t bad. Eat your heart out, Cassie. Spotted: Life Files & Pinboard
