Killer Mike Interviews MC Lyte

[vimeo http://vimeo.com/6283068] 

If you got close to 15 minutes to spare, here’s a full plate of hip-hop. Dig in. And oh yeah, YN’s with you Mike, it was all about Roxanne Shante and MC Lyte growing up a kid. Nuff respect to L Boogie before the breakdown, but Ms. Moorer might be my G.O.A.T.

Jadakiss Denies Involvement In Drug Bust At His Home
alt

MTV’s 1515 Boys got the exclusive statement from Jadakiss addressing the incident that went down in his apartment last Saturday where drugs and cash were found and two men were arrested prior to the raid.

“What happened on Saturday was an unfortunate situation, but one in which I have no involvement in. Since the release of my recent album Last Kiss, I have been on the road touring and promoting my project. I am focused on my performance schedule and career.”

Let’s hope this rings true.

NR blew the spot up. The record is from the More Than A Game soundtrack and is credited to Drake featuring the three rap heavyweights. Due Friday. Produced by Boy Wonder. Boi-1da (My bad!). That guy hit the jackpot. Ha!

New verses to this unreleased Young Money gem! The hook is dope. Can’t wait to hear it!

Rick Rubin On The Making of Jay-Z’s “99 Problems”

[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.890811&w=425&h=350&fv=]

Legendary producer Rick Rubin recalls his session with Jay-Z and marvels at his artistry. His old Def Jam partner Uncle Russ, is by his side grinnin’ and gigglin’ like a school girl. I think this is from a sit-down with VH1 for the upcoming Def Jam Hip Hop Honors. Anxious to see the whole thing.

Miss You Much: Diddy & Cassie’s Twitter Romance

Diddy and Cassie’s dedication to Twitter has made it increasingly harder to hide their relationship. This past weekend, Cassie went apparently OT to her cousin’s wedding. Now we know those things drum up the emotion in the hardest of hard bodies. At about 6:55 pm on Saturday, Cassie apparently playin’ bridesmaid posted this flick. An hour later, Puff took notice: Finally she touched down back in the Big Apple on Sunday. And guess who she went to see. Did somebody […]

Now from late last night into this morning, Diddy has been frantically tweetin’ photos from a new Cassie photo shoot. These guys would be cute if they came clean. It’s been a long time since they were caught canoodling in Central Park. Claim your woman, Combs. 

Young Problemz Feat. Mike Jones x Gucci Mane “Boi” (Video)

Now this is a Bun B co-sign I can truly get behind. I’ve been sleepin’ on this H-Town shit, it goes harder than a muthafucka. I gotta holla at Joey IE at Asylum ’cause I never even heard of this group. They even got Mike Jones sounding good on this, Kid Cudi references and all. Gucci’s on here too but it’s almost unnecessary. This is unquestionably a banger. I dare you to not like it! Oh shit, Kid Legend tried […]

Oh shit, Kid Legend tried to tell us, we didn’t listen. Ha!

If you’re nice enough to me, I’ll throw the instrumental up. You East Coast MCs better join the party and get your bars up on it.

Update: OK, it sounds like “A Milli” but fuck it, it’s hot!

Throwback Video: Redman “Jam 4 U” (Promo Clip)

“My image and the way I am would project a vision to yourself that OK, he’s not the one to be played with.” Wow, look at young Reggie Noble. I can honestly say I’ve never seen this. Guess I was still establishing my industry connects back then. Anybody seen Taren Mitchell lately? Ha! Props: Vintage Hip Hop Seattle

Throwback Video: Brand Nubian “All For One” (Live ATL)

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF9qrlIndh0] 

This was uploaded on YouTube today. Apparently, it’s from a born day bash for DTP’s Chaka Zulu back in 1998. The freshly reunited Brand Nubian were a month away from droppin’ their Foundation but that didn’t stop them from doin’ a joint off the classic first album. One for all!

Heads Up: Please Don’t Stare who got Jay-Z footage from the same night.
