“He ain’t slap that girl.” On the final leg of the Ecstatic Tour last Wednesday, the Mighty Mos took the time to support Kanye at a show in Baltimore. (clear audio above, no visual) And again in Philly the following night (muffled audio, blurry visual). Like his tourmate Jay Electronica, Dante thinks Jay Leno crossed the line and should be dealt with accordingly. Oh boy. Bring back Arsenio! Previously: Jay-Z Defends The Passion of Kanye West

I really need to remember to do these daily. SMH. Great Find: Thomas x Soul Controllah

Nav says this new one from MJB is produced by Ryan Leslie and could be unfinished. Let’s hope he’s right. I say leave it on the cutting room floor until R Les addresses the Queen with his best. We can make it better. Props: HHNM

Last night at Wembley Stadium, Jigga and Coldplay rocked a mass of screaming fans—80K to be right and exact. But when Hov came out to deliver his verse from “Lost”, he got a lil’ caught up at the 3:18 mark. Man down!

You know YN loves some bootleg flip cam footage. Mariah Carey performed her new single for Oprah Winfrey and a sea of her New York lambs this morning in Central Park. Nick Cannon was also in the house gettin’ all kissy-kissy. Full show rip coming super soon.

Not feeling the title Blak Roc ’cause it looks like he’s hanging on to his past legacy but hey what’d I know. He clearly still has the juice to recruit some big dawgs to the table and the Black Keys sound kinda tough. Hey, is that RZA? They’ve come a long way since the ODB blow-up on Video Hits One. Ha! […]

This can’t be life. If this is real, it’s very sad. Find some meaning in your existence, that’s deeper than rap. By the way, this is the joint Max’s interpolating. He’s no friend of mine, but I might have to pray for him. Previously: Max B Sentenced To 75 Years

Good to see the girl Jennifer Hudson get her due. Now she’s a Diva like her fellow DreamGirl, Mrs. Carter. “I don’t like livin’ under your spotlight ?” I hear you, sistah girl. Peace: Yardie Sidebar: It’s a demo. Is there a recording Shaffer’s made that hasn’t leaked yet? SMH. Props: Splash

Lost in his VMA antics was the story behind K. West’s strange new hairdo. Well after checking one of his buddies blogs, YN has found out that the design is inspired by a Keith Haring painting. Seriously. More after the cut. Ha!

With Mr. West a piping hot topic this week, KDAY Los Angeles radio personality Devi Dev dug up an unreleased sitdown from a few months ago that she had with the mouth that roared. They speak on gay folks, Jigga, Diddy, Steve Jobs, and the kitchen sink. I don’t know if it’s one of the greatest interviews of all-time but let’s listen.

May the King rest in peace but—looks like ‘Dunk’ still got some junk in her trunk. Hey fellas, she’s single again! Get your weight up and your two-step together. Full special airs Saturday at 12:30 pm EST. MTV Sidebar: She sounds so much like her brother here it’s kinda scary.

I’m sure the homie Semtex will have better footage shortly, but I couldn’t wait to put this up. I was in a privileged position on stage  when Hov opened up his Glastonbury show with his tongue-in-cheek Oasis cover. Last night at Roundhouse, it was revisited. Truthfully: SC loves this jawn. Next time: Sing along, Hov! Props: TS Update: As promised, let me upgrade you.

If you diss Drizzy, you’ll never hear a reply for it. But if you claim responsibility for his biggest hit, he’s gonna address the matter. This pretty much confirms our previous post. Heads Up: All Things Fresh Sidebar: Kinfolk gets clowned? It ain’t nothin’ new.

Cue the bonus tracks on BP1, Jay-Z speaks on his strong memory. Tired subject to us hip-hop heads, but can you believe he’s on Oprah?! Seven days away. Get your DVR’s ready! Thanks, O. Previously: Jay-Z In O Magazine Bonus: Mo’ project footage. Is that you Geda K?

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3440886&w=425&h=350&fv=] More VMA red carpet action as Swizz speaks on the tender tweets he exchanged with A Keys awhile back. Yup, that’s one RR brought to you first. I can’t prove it since we’re still backin’ up our old content on the new site. But my homegirl Freshalina knows, so that’s good enough for me. Props: Creekmur’s Castle

In an article in the new Details magazine appropriately entitled “Tears of A Hip Hop Clown“, the super-producer who lost it all, brags about all the Hollywood hotties he bagged back in his heyday. After a bong hit, Storch loosens up a bit and the conversation turns to his sexual conquests. Tops among them? “Kim Kardashian—she was amazing,” he says. (She denies she and Storch had sex.) “Dude, she really is so fucking hot,” Linder affirms from the pool table. […]

This MJ remix shit is outta control. The shuffling drums are cool and all, but you really can’t fuck with perfection. Oh and this reminds me; of course that’s not me in the credits of BP3. The genius that is No ID, is “E. Wilson”. He prefers Dion. But his mama named him Ernest.

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3439694&w=425&h=350&fv=] “I felt it would be live to come to my man’s city being that he jumped on something for me and showed that love. It’s like why can’t I come and bring it back and bring it to his town.” Here’s a look at The Chef and Mack Mittens during the making of CL 2’s next visual which was fittingly shot in Illadelphia. Hey, has the Broad Street Bully turned himself in yet? The Double R wants to […]
