Crooked I Defends Joe Budden On Stage At Rock The Bells L.A.

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

Pardon this horrible footage of Slaughterhouse closing out their Rock The Bells set with “The One” and skip to around the 3:40 mark. Hear the crazed Slaughterhouse chants and see Crooked I with a whole lot of backup address the drama of the day.

“Don’t believe everything you see on the Internet. Don’t nobody gonna disrespect one of my niggas on the muthafuckin’ West Coast.”

I’m sorry my G, but I think that already happened.

Before he brought Ms. Winfrey to his old stomping grounds, Young HO was the other main attraction in the West Coast last night. He headlined the big summer jam for L.A.’s biggest radio station, Power 106. You know the home of Big Boy. Big Boy! Yeah you’ve prolly seen this before but it’s just as good as you remember. Got a problem? Make a better catalogue!

Kanye West’s Rant Vol. 2 (Live At Casio G-Shock Event)

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6dj8NGDwcM] 

Ok this time: DJ Enuff > Blogs. You can’t beat W W W Dot! Flying fucks. BET Awards. Movin’ slower at 32. Marathons > Sprints. 10 year plans. Obama. Yes we can. Create.

Equally bizarre, but not as humorous. You know the sequel never beats the original. Still need part where he talks about being fat is like being famous.

Kanye West’s Only Great Hangover Appearance

[vimeo http://vimeo.com/5926332] 

The Great Hangover Tour concluded last night in Philly so it stands that the man who named the tour, only popped up for one show. That was four days ago in Norfolk, VA. The following footage ain’t great, but it’s worth noting. Above is the concert’s encore of “Welcome To Heartbreak” and, after the jump, the crowd goes ape shit when ‘Ye first comes out during “Make Her Say.”

On the set of his Complex fashion spread, MC Spell Check laments his addiction to that damn Blackberry. Even though the wife just copped me an iPhone, I’m right there with him.

Also: The homie BFred said that lil’ flick of Amber Rose that leaked last night is nothin’. They plan to flood the Internets next week with a gang of mo’ photos and behind the scenes video. Blonde Dyke. Klondike. Let’s go!

In the final ep, 90’s hip-hop talent from different regions get shine (Detroit’s Eminem, ATL’s OutKast, etc.) and the struggles of female MCs are explored. Too bad that part is just as relevant today. 

Hope you enjoyed our program. Ha!

Peace to EMZ.

And You Don’t Stop: Life After Death

Of course whenever you recall our history, you have to discuss the deaths of Biggie-Pac, East/West rivalries and how we survived it all.

This one is dedicated to the left side of the globe. You know the West Coast had a chokehold on the game. Didn’t know if they were ever gonna let go.

Episode 2 focuses on the evolution of rap music in the 80’s into a multi-million dollar business. Truth be told: We was all rollin’ with Rush.

Had this in the stash so long, I forgot I had it. This was an excellent 2004 documentary on our culture that aired on VH1 and was written by my good friend, Bill Adler (google him, kids!). There were five episodes and this was the first entitled Back In The Day. Like that 20/20 special RR brought you, we’re here to educate as well as entertain. All y’all do is steal content. Ha!

Plies Pays Tribute To “The First 48”

[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.885990&w=425&h=350&fv=configParams%3Duri%253Dmgid%253Auma%253Avideo%253Amtv.com%253A425392] 

Yup, Algernod’s got another album coming whether you like it or not. Here he explains how a popular TV show influenced one of his new songs.

“I got a song right now called ‘First 48,‘ ” the Florida native revealed. “It’s wrapped around the whole TV series ‘The First 48 Hours.’ I’m telling you on the record: ‘Everybody is a goon until they catch a case/ When the detectives get to the talking/ All that gangsta shit fades away/ The first 10 minutes, dog, you started off straight/ Detective applied a little pressure, you turn around and break.’

“That whole situation for me, that intro, I’m sitting here watching TV, and I didn’t know it was that many unreal dudes still left in the streets,” he continued. “I just focused on that situation. That’s one of them records on my album I call ‘choir rehearsal.’ I know everybody is gonna sing it every time I perform it.” 

Should be interesting. Plus, Goon Affiliated is the first album where Plies is gonna let other rappers get their special guest on. We’re on the hunt for them names first.

“Time to take it over. Minus all that bakin’ soda.”

A lil’ FLA love this morning. In case you ain’t know, DJ Khaled’s radio partner K Foxx moved to the Rottten Apple to be part of Hot 97’s new morning show with Cipha Sounds and Rosenberg. So now with his Takeover program for dolo, Mr. We The Best needed a new theme song so guess who he called. He dialed 911 and boom. Ha!

Sidebar: Remember when the original “Ten Crack Commandments” was a radio promo Preemo and Jeru The Damaja did for Angie Martinez? You geeks on the Internets need to find that. Y’all slippin’.

Mr. Hudson “Anyone But Him” (Live Session)

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_jWKZNm-L4] 

Lord knows I’ve steadily clowned this dude and my brother and I have joked a lot about the melody of this tune in particular. But here’s the shock of your life: I’m kinda diggin’ this live session version. That is until Kanye’s replacement comes in and screws it up. Oh well, close but no cigar.
