You know YN had to have some flip cam of his new favorite single. I personally prefer the studio version but hey, why nitpick. You did it Ahmir! Persistence overcomes resistance. Ha!

Double R is everywhere! Here’s the highlight of last night’s Diesel show. LV Don guy popped up to support the D-Boys from VA. Too bad his mic was fucked up. Oh well, everyone was too drunk by then to notice. Roots clip on the way.
Oh boy. Marshall’s back at it again. Guess he wasn’t feelin’ the “Obsessed” song and vid. Ha!

It seems like The Birthday Sex kid’s buzz has come and gone. Get it? Nevermind. Lil J appears destined for a one hit wonder legacy. ‘Member that song by who… I don’t have exact SoundScan numbers, but as far as I know he’s not exactly burnin’ up the charts. I haven’t listened to his album and I can’t get anyone on the RR staff to, so I’ll reserve final judgment until then. Still, it’s not lookin’ good for dude. Bet you Terius Hagert is a happy fuck. Milian and all. Ha!

In one of the music industry’s worst kept secrets, Weezy and Madge made some music together. Their joint, “Revolver” is the second single from her upcoming greatest hits album, Celebration (No Kool & The Gang). Will drop in Sept. and there will most likely will be a visual. How excited are you?

A week ago in the Windy City there was a Red Bull Big Tune Beat Battle (yeah I don’t know what that is either?) and it basically gave Just Blaze a chance for a free trip OT to cop some more Polo. Still, later at the Metro, he found time to throw down at the 4:30 mark with one of my favorite groups, Little Brother. Yeah, that’s my tongue planted firmly in cheek.

“Get your chain tooken.”
The good folks over at the.LIFE Files got footage of the Sore Loser’s upcoming Nike commercial where the Roc Boy is rockin’ out to Jigga’s latest. See that video appearance wasn’t just a favor. Ha!

Seriously, who can keep up with all the fools in Weezy’s army. There’s the Drake and that hot girl that got the Internets in a frenzy. That’s it, that’s all, single, no more, no less. Ha! Have you even met Sylvia Rhone? Smh.
Seriously: Just a lil tough love from the old grumpy guy. Prove YN wrong, kids. I look forward to the comp in November. A lil’ greasy talk just might make your shit tighter.

Endless crazy Wu stories from the Chef. Sorry, I missed the event last night, but the rain had me shook. I’m sure some video will pop, up but Ming Tzu recorded the entire audio. He’s a great Asian man.
Props: Grand Good
Bonus: The Chef cooks up a medley with the Cypher. Dallas shot Shallah kickin’ the other MCs verses like he wrote ’em. Ill.

“Y’all make some noise for Belvedere one time.”
Ch-ching! This was all good and shot just a week ago. Jizzle gettin’ his pre-game America’s Most Wanted Tour set-list on. Hey the rain’s depressing, I could use a lil d-boy boost, how ’bout you?
Bonus: Da Snowman tries to save Ricky’s crew from mediocrity.
Today Tony Starks visited Shade 45’s Angela Yee and hilarity ensued. Super-producer DJ Wonder says:
Ghostface Killah came to help co-host The Morning After With Angela Yee and little did we know the jewels he would drop…
Talking about how his graphic novel came about:
“I don’t give a fuck…Show me the money!”
On some of his talents:
“…I wasn’t smackin? (Angela- “No, you’re a good gum chewer.”) I am a good gum chewer though!”
And the most controversial topic of the day – Men and Women being equal:
“This is what’s wrong with our people and shit. They put our women
equal to men….We not equal! And that’s coming from me nigga! We not
equal, I came first!”

“I’m a pretty humble person.”
Huh? Fresh off stage, Lil Wayne tells Sway that Rebirth has been on hold because he’s been focused on his label. Um, yeah. Plus he insists on zero input from his label on the project. And you wonder why your shit ain’t out. I ain’t buyin’ that shit you shovelin’ cousin.

“Give him a football. Some Gatorade and let’s get it.” OK?! Jizzle also advises Pacman Jones to not attend the gentlemen’s establishments without some CTE accompaniment. Now that’s sound advice.

After catchin’ a brick with her last CD, Princess Super C has taken to TwitVid (I didn’t know that even existed) in a desperate attempt to stay relevant. Above she sings Estelle’s “American Boy” which is her own personal audition for Puff’s new show. Huh? Isn’t that exciting? Ok, she can sing but I don’t know girl. You might have to go back to takin’ your clothes off, shoot some nude fiicks, and then pretend you didn’t want to do it when the heat comes. Ha!

The master marketer really knows how to promote. Watch Puff party underneath the studio, plug Last Train To Paris, Ciroc vodka and his I Am King cologne at a feverish pace. I think he had Jimmy shook.

Here’s some non-Scranton footage from the first lady of Young Money. I’m not familiar with the songs she’s performing in B-More, but I know you perverts will be more glued to the gluteus maximus anyhow. What a talent.

[…] Busta Rhymes’ revelation about the Roxy incident offers fans a rare glimpse into a moment that could have escalated into something much bigger. But thanks to the power of music—and the quick thinking of Kid Capri—the night ended on a high note. It’s a story that reminds us of the way hip hop can unite as much as it divides, and how even in moments of tension, the culture finds a way to move forward. […]
