This is a pretty awful presentation, but noteworthy is Killa’s new look. He needs a haircut and a shave ASAP. Thought Harlem niggas were always fresh to def? SMH. Is that you Giles?

The funny guy is back at it again. YN approves this one. No doo-doo stains. Clever.

While making the radio rounds, Hot 97’s Peter Rosenberg got Scotty to go in on a couple of Dilla beats. Came out pretty tough. Don’t believe me, just listen. Sidebar: You try.

Two artists droppin’ products the same day? Nope. No problems here. Hey, I copped both of them!

She’s back! Here’s a taste of A Keys new single due Sept. 30th. Piano? Check. Smooth vocal? Check. Lil drum bounce? Check. This is just a tease, but sounds pretty good to me. Good to know, Ms. Cook is still a problem. More please. Props: Ace Showbiz Update: In full. Props: You Heard That New

No more maybes. Eleven #1 albums! Still movin’ units in a drought. Elvis, who? Ha! Congrats, S.C.! Previously: SoundScan Showdown: Jay-Z vs. The Beatles Sidebar: The making of the album cover. Update: According to XXL and Hov’s publicist, the final tally is slightly higher. Ha!

With all the talk of how unique Drake’s record deal was things appear pretty typical on the packaging of the CD. I see no signs of Aspire, the label that was created with Drizzy’s manager Cortez Bryant and the Young Money imprint only appears in logo form. Credits throughout go to Cash Money Records with manufacturing, marketing and distribution by Universal Motown Records. You thought you had it bad, Cudi. Ha!

Last night, GFK went on the radio show your favorite MC is too shook to participate in. With Angela Yee and the lovely Leah Rose at the helm and Rosa Acosta and Sexy Milani by his side, how could it not be an entertaining program. Wizard of Poetry, in stores soon. Peace God! Link 1 Link 2 Props: DJ Wonder

Not the complete set. But pretty far along. I know. I’m still far too kind. Link Previously: YN’s BP3 Breaks

It’s so ambitious to tackle an undisputed classic but thankfully Playboy Trey assists Amerie with a fresh new approach to the tune. I’m riding with this one. Good job, y’all. Supplier: Splash

“Shawty got Amber Rose shaved her whole head up.” ©. S.C. The hottest bald chick in the game goes mainstream. Styling by you-know-who. For those scoring at home: 24 inch waist. 38 inch hips. Ok then. Props: Bossip via NY Mag

Whatever break ‘Ye may be planning to take, needs to go down in the next couple of months. Starting this November he’ll be gone with Lady Gaga on the ironically-titled “Fame Kills” tour well into early 2010. There goes Perez Hilton. He must be in the front row! Got a feeling the nation’s collective boo’s will turn to cheers by then.

The Dirty Money dictator dropped by to visit Hot 97’s Jew-Rican morning show combo before he heads back to Cali for a month. Guess these guys are startin’ to get the big guests now. Eureka. Part 1: Sean insists there’s no auto-tune on his new joints. He used a “Flanger” instead. Take that! Part 2: Speaks on his heated exchange with a plain clothes hip-hop cop, and, of course, Kanye’s VMA outburst. Part 3: Combs eats some cheesecake and plugs […]

And you say, Chi-City! So before Leno got his Oprah on last night and Kanye promised a hiatus, an ABC reporter snitched that the Pres threw Mr. West under the bus in an off-the-record comment. ABC was left with pie on the face and released this statement: In the process of reporting on remarks by President Obama that were made during a CNBC interview, ABC News employees prematurely tweeted a portion of those remarks that turned out to be from […]

It should have been [on there],” he said of Drake’s missing rhymes. “But I thought, to me, we took [Drake] out of his element. But he said that was good to him. I said, ‘Oh, sh–, let’s go back and get him in […]

“Whitney in my mansion smokin’ crack.”

You won’t believe what Ice just posted. Apparently, Officer Ricky still needs a restraining order. This is gonna go right in YN’s odd magazine cover collection. Hey, Curtis as a guest editor? That sounds familiar. Thank God, I’m off that. Ha!

So we close the RR behind-the-scenes show with the latest from Wale’s upcoming Attention Deficit. No word if Jazmine Sullivan will be joining in on the fun tonight. But this just in: Bunyan got his biz partner ONE ticket and YN will be in the building solo dolo. You can hate me now. I know, you already do. Ha!

Ever see one of XXL‘s celebrated freshmen cover the music of a fellow one? Well, here ya go. Tonight, you’ll see Scotty in the flesh, but this is a gem as Wale proves he knows all the words to his homie’s biggest hit. Also in the other clip, proves he can do a mean Gucci Mane impersonation. And you can throw in a DJ AM dedication too boot. You’re welcome!
