So what’d you think? Props: Roc4Life Sidebar: The Carters are on vacay. Told ya the album was done. And tell them paps to fall back.

Looks like The Carters aren’t the only ones being harassed by the TMZ nation. While in Miami for the Cons video, Mr. West and his Robocop chopped it up in the sun and tried to avoid the flashing camera lights. (Ok, it was daytime but you get it) Just wait for the ass shot.

Uncle Rush continues to get his Arianna Huffington on, gettin’ Shad Moss to further explain why he parked his Lambo in the Williams brothers’ garage. 

To anyone who’s confused or says I don’t belong in Cash Money…Let me remind you that I’ve been down with Baby, Slim, Wayne and the whole Cash Money family from the beginning. 10 years ago when we really were “Lil” me and Wayne did a song for the Hardball movie soundtrack. Baby was influential in my third album. Last year, Wayne and I spent 2 months together in New Orleans filming Hurricane Season. So please don’t be misinformed and think I’m just jumpin’ on “what’s hot” or trying to ride others success. This has been my extended family for more than a decade.  

Did somebody say Hardball? Joe said no pauses!

Drizzy addresses the accusations that his bars are strictly for the ladies. 

“I think there’s two types of rapping about women, there’s rapping about fairy-tale stuff …not to take away anything from an MC like this, but you take a rapper like Bow Wow, who is a genuine ladies’ man and all his songs are to make ladies love him and love themselves. And that’s cool. That’s a brand of music that might not always be what’s real, you may not always be telling the truth, but at least someone is gonna feel good about the songs you’re making. With me, when I touch on women — which I don’t feel like I rap about a lot — I feel like I’m just rapping about myself.” 

He also kicks a few bars from a new song he just recorded with Wayne.

“She’s nothin’ like every other dime/ 

When I think of her, couple things that come to mind/

Thoughts like if she end up, my baby mother fine/

Cuz we only use a rubber like every other time.”

Let’s be careful out there ladies.

Now this quick clip got me a lil amped because it deals with the genesis of Pun’s musical career. Wow, Fat Joe was already six years in the game when he brought Rios in the game. Plus, Raekwon reflects on putting Pun on the “Firewater” track. What you kids know about the Relativity Urban Assault album? Ha!

Not the best sound quality, but always interesting to see Flaco do his thing. This was from the show a few nights ago in the ATL. As you can see, no Slick Rick, no problem. This is a cool joint off The Ecstatic but still….

Janet Jackson’s ex-man isn’t feeling the latest of the seemingly endless MJ covers. As you can see, the coverline says,” When Michael Was Cool.” Feeling it was a backhanded tribute, Don Chi Chi got his Kanye on.

HOT COVER WACK ASS TITLE. SEE THIS IS THE SHIT THAT PISSES ME OFF PEOPLE WANNA USE THIS MAN TO MAKE THEM MONEY BUT CONTINUE TO THROW LIL SNEAK DISSES. AS FAR AS ANY FAN WOULD SAY, HE WAS COOL HIS WHOLE LIFE. I SAY THAT BECAUSE THE FANS ARE THE ONES THAT’S GONNA MAKE THIS COVER SELL 3 TIMES MORE MAGAZINES THAN THE LAST ONE SO WHY TITLE IT THIS?

Looks like Wendy Williams has two replacements for her recently departed WBLS afternoon show. Salt-N-Pepa’s here! Yup, the greatest female rap group of all-time have gone from reality TV to on-air radio disc jocks. Think I can speak for most in my circle and say I have zero interest in listening to this. Love her or hate her, Wendy’s an institution and I can’t see either one of these hip-hop legends filling up her high heels. FAIL. Spotted: WoooHa via […]

My homie Fuzzy from Power 106 chops it up with Weezy and finally gets him to admit he is indeed the father of the Hollywood chick’s baby. Word to Maury.

F: Lauren London. She fine. 

W: Very fine. Sexy.

F: She very pregnant with your baby.

W: Very pregnant. Yes.

F:  Alright, I’ll take that as yes she’s very pregnant.

W: That’s not rumors.

F: That’s not rumors. That’s a done deal?

W: That’s a kid. That’s a child. That’s a life. You don’t hide from that. Nah.

F: So congratulations.

W: Thank you.

“Shit is weird, this the longest, niggas been apart/ I sent that money to your wifey and it came from the heart.”

H-A-V-O sends a kite to his incarcerated partner Prodigy. Like LL’s “Billie Jean” tribute, this is surprisingly good.

Jeezy continued to get his Ed Sullivan on and brought out the ambassador with the colorful language. It was only right. Fo’ shizzle. Sidebar: Two men were arrested outside the concert that night. Oops.

As if 60 Minutes wasn’t enough, Russell Rush got M.V. to cry out to the Black folks who don’t watch the television news magazine. Grab your hanky, here he goes again. “Sitting in a prison cell didn’t make me feel remorse.  It was meeting so many animal lovers, speaking with them and looking them in their eyes. Staring at them.  Looking so deep into their eyes that I began to feel their pain. Allowing that pain to enter into my […]

Guess Poppa Joe finally wasn’t lying for once. MJ will indeed be laid to rest on August 29th at the famous burial site, Forest Lawn Memorial Park. Pretty crazy that it’s taken this long. Thankfully, his brain will be included. Props: Rolling Stone Update: According to TMZ, his final resting place is in the Great Mausoleum section of the park. No go for public viewings.
