We’re one day away from Whitney’s ex’s Behind The Music and I can hardly contain my excitement. I’ll be tuned in, I suggest you do the same.

Rumor: Slaughterhouse Is Shady Bound?

After we broke the first look of Em and Slaughterhouse appearing together in the “Forever” video, the Internets have been on fire with all types of rumors of how and why that went down. Well my fellow trusted voice, Miss Info, attempts to make sense of it. Minya says: That Slaughterhouse appearance in “Forever,” was indeed a non-verbal announcement of the contract negotiations going on behind the scenes. For the past month, both sides have been working towards bringing the […]

Chris Paul Remembers Shootout With Lil Wayne

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3476164&w=425&h=350&fv=configParams%3Dvid%253D439373%2526uri%253Dmgid%253Auma%253Avideo%253Amtv.com%253A439373%2526startUri%3D%7BstartUri%7D] Hey, who knew Lil Weezy had a lil’ game? Well he does according to superstar New Orleans point guard, Chris Paul. They even played hoops a few years back. “I went to one of Wayne’s shows … it might have been after my rookie year,” Paul explained. “There was a basketball goal set up outside. He came, we shot the best out of 10. It surprised me — we shot the best out of 10, he made seven. […]

Scarface “Guess Who’s Back” (VH1 Hip-Hop Honors Rehearsal)

No Jigga. No Sigel. No problem. Here’s a lil taste of what H-Town’s finest is bringing to this evening’s Hip-Hop Honors festivities. Yup, tonight’s da night of the taping and me and B.Dot ain’t playin’. You take the flip cam out of my back right pocket, I got one in my front left sock. We can’t be stopped. Un-stop-pable! Props: Miss Theda Update: She caught Luda throwing bows too. Spotted: Meka

New B.G. Album Due Nov. 10

Looks like one of my favorite Hot Boys’ long-delayed album is finally gonna see the light of day. I think the Grand Hustle/Atlantic connection is no mas, and E1 is the label that pays B. Gizzle. He’s so independent but still with major backing. Check the guest feature-laden lineup after the jump. Props: Hottest Ish

Jadakiss Takes Germany Too!

“We in Germany with a Jewish nigga.” Looks like Hov wasn’t the only rap dude kickin’ it recently in Central Europe. Watch a white T’d-out Jason and his crew run through the town as he spits Hov’s verse from “Real As It Gets.” We see you Emory. F DeHaven for cavin’? Hey, I ain’t in it. Ha!

Juelz Santana x Chris Brown “Back To The Crib” (CDQ)

OK Juelz had a chance to change his mind but he’s goin’ with the Fuck Boy feature for his return to the scene. Again, I’m too bias to give it a fair shake, but after a couple of listens I can take it or leave it. Remember: Reagen Era, in stores, Neveruary 33rd, 2022. Props: NR via Miss Info Previously: New Music: Juelz Santana x Chris Brown “Back To The Crib”

Kid Cudi “Day ‘N’ Nite” (Jimmy Kimmel)

Just cuz he moved 100k of his Man On The Moon CD in the first week, doesn’t mean this Martian is too good to perform his signature tune. Once again, Kid Cudi brings his hazy flow to late night. It’s early in the morn, but it’s okay to get your bounce on. Ha! After the jump, a piece of “Pursuit of Happiness” as the end credits roll.

Joe Budden Speaks On Life After Tahiry

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3473766&w=425&h=350&fv=] “I still love her from far away.” Now that Joe Budden no longer saves the live streams from his blog TV channel, we must rely on WSHH rips to keep up with his foolery. In this clip, he talks about being single again and tryin’ to figure out how his newfound bachelor lifestyle fits in with his need for video documentation. (No, not like that. Ha!) Just peep game, you Slaughterhouse stans.

Jay-Z On Germany TV

I’ve never seen this guy do this much promo. Must be workin’ though. 300K in a second week? MTV hand over that Hottest MC crown. Anyways, I usually cringe when rappers do these strange international shows. I’m gonna close my eyes, you tell me how it goes. I suppose I can watch… later. Props: Jay-Z World

Keri Hilson Lost Her Virginity To Usher

Kinda! Shock headline alert. It was Mr. Raymond’s music. Specifically, this tune playin’ in the backdrop when Miss Keri’s panties dropped and she made love for the very first time. No word on whether hickeys were exchanged. For those stumbling with their math, it was eight years ago. Born in ’82, she was 19. You know, I’m starting to buy her goody two-shoes act. How dumb am I? SMH. Props: Q Deezy

New Music: T-Pain “Take Your Shirt Off”

This is the official first single off T-Pain’s new album, RevolveR (The last capital R ain’t a mistake). The shit should be really called “Take Your Muthafuckin’ Shirt Off.” And I can dig it. It’s funky and crunky like Lil Jon in his prime. The “Is autotune really dead?” line ain’t even necessary as the song uses just a touch of the effect in the song’s bridge. Yup, it’s strong on its own two. Looks like Faheem’s gonna survive the […]

LL And The TV Show No One Cares About

Huge billboards. Heavy promo. A primetime major TV show starring role. A huge look for hip-hop, no? Still and all, there’s no buzz and no one seems to give a fuck, Including me. I grew up a huge James Todd Smith fan, but I can’t for the life of me muster up any excitement for his latest acting gig. Maybe you can. Season premiere tonight. Check the clip above. Come Again: Splash Previously: New Music: LL Cool J “N.C.I.S. (No […]

RR Exclusive: Snoop Dogg’s Victory Lap

Besides hip-hop, there’s not much Calvin and I have in common. Except when it comes to the pigskin, we ride with the black, white and yellow. Haven’t you noticed the colors of the Double R, fuckers. Yup, YN wins again. Touch down. Here’s Snoop, the Super Steelers fan, on his Heinz Field adventure. Previously: Backstage With Snoop Dogg & The Snoopadelics

Who’s House? Lyor’s House!

Ly-or. This post’s about Ly-or. The CEO of rap let the NY Times into his home and answered a gang of questions. With candor and charisma, he bigs up everyone from P.E. to Jay-Z to the man who made Def Jam before him. HOME HOMAGE: My house is dedicated to Rick Rubin. My day-to-day experience is fundamentally in honor of things I learned from Rick. The first day I saw him in his N.Y.U. dorm room, he was in pain […]

New Music: Playaz Circle x Raekwon “Weight Droppin'”

Wow Luda’s boys have finally come up with one that hit my radar. This ain’t no “Skew It On The Bar-B,” but choppin’ it up with the Chef is a fine ATL tradition in my book. Believe it or not, Titty Boi and Dolla Boy (why don’t they change their group name to the Duffle Bag Boys) have a new album droppin’ next Tues too. I’ll leave it up to you, what you should do. After the jump, Shallah explains […]
