New Music: Q-Tip “Blue Girl”
alt

Well this tune really isn’t new per se. In fact, its eight years old, but it’s off the soon-to-finally-be-released Kamaal The Abstract album. YN had to get his floss on and show that I still had the original promo Arista sent out as evidenced by the date above. Anyway, cop my homie Tip’s new old current project two Tuesdays from now (Sept. 15) when he drops it. Hotep.

Hovi’s home!

Fresh off vacay, the Carters put Twitter in a frenzy yesterday when they popped up at a free rock concert in Williamsburg, BK. I heard reports that they actually got on stage and joined in the fun but the only footage I see so far is below. Stay tuned.

Oh boy, in this early look at the Larry King sitdown, Fuck Boy says he can’t recall what he did that night. SMH. That’s worse than his outfit. Sorry, B.Dot, I tried. O.J. Jr.’s back on my kufi list.

Tune in Wednesday, September 2nd at 9pm ET on CNN.

Jay Electronica “Google Eyes” (Live)

I found this clip about two weeks ago of the other Jay in my life performing a song I couldn’t ID. I emailed Electronica, and today he finally hit me back. He said, it’s called “Google Eyes” and he would send me a copy if I would only put up a snippet of it or label it a ruff version since it’s not all the way done. I complied. Of course, he never sent it. Guess you should look for […]

Another day. Another fuckin’ unauthorized Hova leak. You think Timbaland produced this mess too? SMH. What a piece of shit that guy is. I need to hear the Jay-Cudi record ASAP. And the J. Cole one too. Leak a fuckin’ Kanye record or something. Take control of the leak! I’m so pissed.

“I think that’s a shot to morale,” he continued. “It’s a shot to somebody’s morale, who’s 15 or 16 years old. That’s an impressionable soul who sees 50 Cent, how he’s not able to see him perform in a way. I think the [city’s officials] are aware, but they think [50’s] performance may cause rabble-rousing, or get people to act out. That’s just an old way of thinking about folk, especially black folk. That’s what it all boils down to, essentially.” 

Bet you Your Honor is a big Otis Redding fan. Ha!
