“If your pussy clean, let me hear you scream!”

In case you ain’t know, Young Jeezy and the CTE did it big in the MIA last weekend. And of course, somebody had to shoot it. My favorite part: Jizzle and the crew walkin’ home from the club. And oh yeah, Mr. Jenkins has a new motto this year: “It’s just us and the guns.” “Fuck swag, nigga. I got savoir-faire.” Bet Curtis approves that message.

And oh yeah, the soundtrack here is track #17 off the new mixtape.

Heads Up: Nigel x HipHopStan

Robbie just hipped me to this interview the King from Queens did with some kooky UK morning show around 12 years ago. If you recall around that time, a Jason Nevins remix of “It’s Like That” brought the group back on the international radar. Witness a docile DMC, an aggy Run and an always calm-under-pressure-no-need-to-act-ill, Jam Master Jay in what would be the beginning of the group’s end.

Hey ladies: I told you Drizzy wants to be the reason you smile.

Here’s another street vid from Rawse from a song that most definitely shoulda made Deeper Than Rap. Exit Foxy Brown collab. And insert this one.

The voice of Reflection Eternal takes you back in the latest from VIBE‘s 60/60 series:

“Me and Hi-Tek had a little EP called Ground Ish [and] I was trying to get them to put out the first song from that and by mistake I played the song Fortified Live from my cassette tape. I wasn’t even trying to play that record in the meeting and they heard it and they were like, ‘What’s that?’ And I said, “Oh, this some shit we working on” and it wasn’t mixed or nothing. They was like, “’We can put that out right now and we can give you a video.’ And that was my first record with them.”

That joint was hot.

Here’s the reunited crew performing their biggest hit at a recent show at The Filmore. I’m old enough to recall when this tune tickled the ladies fancies like the “Best I Ever Had”. Do you remember the time?

According to Bun B, his UGK partner Pimp C was first approached to be on Hov’s song with Too $hort before they seized the opportunity later on “Big Pimpin’.” I didn’t know that. And I call myself a Jay-Z authority. SMH.

Nice to see these brothers still gettin’ recognized. Report claims they placed beats on next Slaughterhouse and Ghostface Killah albums. Although not part of this video, here’s what they had to say about their future projects.

On Ghostface Killah: “We cooking that up right now. The last three Ghost albums we been on. The last one we had five [tracks]. … The chemistry with Ghost is very good. It’s mostly an automatic thing. He’ll have a beat CD for a minute and when he’s ready, he’s like, ‘I want this one this one and this one.’ It just happens.” – Sean C.

On Clipse: “We got three on [their next album]. I’m exited about that. They spit your head off. It’s hard, straightforward, aggressive. They do what they do.” – Sean C.

“The beats don’t sound like us. One of them does, but the others don’t.” – LV

On Slaughterhouse: “We’re really in the beginning stages of it. We’re trying to scope a sound for Slaughterhouse so it’s their sound, not somebody else’s. We’re sending them joints, they got a bunch of joints they picked.” – Sean C.

On Wale: “I think he sounds real good. I definitely like the record we did. I like the Cool & Dre record. We went in a few times with him. The joint we did got Travis Barker on the drums. Wale got that done while he was is in L.A. The beat was done, then Travis played over it, then we played on top of what Travis did.” – LV

“It’s called ‘OG.’ He’s talking about how OGs schooled him to the game and how they was when they were young and how he listens to them. It’s not a street OG thing, but he touches on how things were different at that time.” – Sean C. 

USA Today has the exclusive:

The upcoming DJ Hero video game just landed two heavy hitters as MCs: Jay-Z and Eminem.

“You are going to get over 100 songs from 80 artists and 80 brand-new mixes that have never been heard before, including one with Eminem and Jay-Z (together),” says Guitar Hero president and CEO Dan Rosensweig.

I think I’ll be able to get a freebie. I mean, you would think.

Saw these guys perform the other night at the Drake show. Peter Rosenberg told me he’s co-signing, so I’m gonna check this out. I suggest you do the same. Link and tracklist after the jump. And oh yeah, they’re white. Shhh! Hush!

My label exec is dancin’ on me…

Busta over a Transformers sample? The Dungeon Dragon loves rhymin’ over some weird shit. And who told Jesse West he could spit on this? No wonder it’s an iTunes bonus and isn’t a part of the Bullshit.

I know I’m kinda new on this Internets shit, but when you record a video message it’s a vlog. When you write some shit, it’s a blog. And can we get that background noise down a tad. SMH. I can’t hear what the nigga’s saying. Nigel, talk to your man.

“You reachin’ for a pause.”

Joe Budden’s first post-surgery vlog. I wonder if he holds the camera in the other hand. Ha! Still no shots. Almost seven minutes long and no new music played? Rhymes with pale.

“Nigga when you the muthafuckin’ boss who else is it to tell on?”

Finally some good footage from last Sunday’s show before Cliff turned himself in. As you can see he really can’t get over the backstabbers who thought he’d be locked for a long time and said his career would be over. And don’t you dare call him a snitch. Is this thug motivation?

Update: Part 2 includes some actual rappin’.

This Billboard report claims the beats played here are from Detox. If so, the Doc must be on that Diddy electronica shit. Let’s hope not.

Only Marshall Mathers could get Big Tigger back in the basement. A special Relapse Rap City will air June 12. Not sure if Mama Tigger shows up but I think a certain SouthSide soldier did.
