One will hopefully debut tomorrow morning on The Morning After With Angela Yee on Shade 45. The above footage was put up by Just early in the sesssion, YN kept his flip cam in his pocket. For now. Insert devilish laugh.

Did Joe Budden Diss Method Man On Slaughterhouse Album?
alt

A lot of people are hittin’ me about a tweet I wrote Monday so I just wanna clarify this situation. As we all know on Sunday, Meth and Mouse took a walk in the bushes and came away with a cease fire agreement. The next day, Joe went on his blog TV channel and amongst other chatter, mentioned that he feels bad that he forgot to inform Meth that he had a line in a Slaughterhouse song on the album that dissed him. He made it sound like it was more a sublim than an all out jab. He stated he wished he could change it given that he and Meth had just had a great private convo but it was too late. The album has already been delivered, pressed and mastered. Because of that fact, he said clear as day, he would reach out to Meth and give him the heads up.

Now the video is not available on Joe Budden’s blogTV, but I know what I saw on the livestream. I’m not tryin’ to stir any shit back up, but I know what I saw. This moment of clarity is over for now. I need to go figure out did Kelis really push Knight out yet. Tootles.

Wow, what was it Queensbridge Day? Nas was in the Bridge yesterday of all places announcing to Ralph McDaniels and Video Music Box, the news of the birth of his son. His name is Knight. Best to he and Kelis. Hopefully they can resolve their differences.

Update: Miss Info isn’t sure if this was shot before the baby’s birth. As far as we know, Kelis is still in labor.

Update 2: Kelis still hasn’t given birth according to TMZ and various sources, RR has spoke to.

Another Update: Here’s a preview of Westwood sitdown courtesy of OnSmash. Here it’s much better. He clarifies he had nothin’ to do with Chris Brown not being at BET Awards and calls Game a groupie. Ha!

Article has been all over the Internets the past few days. Interview coulda been hotter, but my favorite quote is the following, it’s a sentiment I can easily relate to:

“I hear it all the time — ‘Yo, he should let the young guys, the new

generation of guys come in.’ But you don’t become the front-runner in

music because someone lets you. You have to claim your shoes.”

Shit, I wear 12’s and I’m irreplaceable like Mrs. Carter. Ha!
