Truthfully: YN’s personal favorite album of all-time is Wu-Tang Forever. These clips are chaotic. These clips are anarchic. These clips are genius. 5 Wu bangers included. Bless the person who put this up on YouTube.

That’s it. Like Paul told Em, “I’m done.” This kid is banned from Rap Radar until further notice. I don’t care what Jimmy told you, I’m tellin’ you, you’re fuckin’ up. Wasted talent.
Tried to put this up earlier, but video player was actin’ up. Shout-out to Jerry Barrow. As SOHH reported, the chain on the bike ain’t feelin’ Jimmy Iovine’s residence.
Sidebar: Forbez also snatched Drake‘s first street DVD interview.
Real Talk: This guy being at the Drake show the other day caused more of a stir than you favorite rapper. Lyor Cohen is the Don Dada of music industry ball busters. Fuck a Pause. And fuck your camera. Historically: This guy is known for flippin’ the bird. Word.
With all the talk of Hov joining the wife at Sony, NY Daily News reports a reunion is in the works. Is a Hov homecoming with his old Def Jam crew on the horizon? Can you say Carter Music Group?
“Jay-Z may be a free agent for now, but he’s in talks to cut a deal with WMG/Atlantic that could make him one of the richest and most powerful men in music.
A well-placed industry source tells us that Jay – who recently left Def Jam as a recording artist (he served as its president from 2004-2007) – has been taking top-secret meetings with his old pals and former managers Lyor Cohen and Kevin Liles. Topics of the hush-hush conversations have included giving Jay his own record label at WMG, tentatively to be called the Carter Music Group.
‘Jay knows Lyor and Kevin from back when they all worked together at Def Jam, and he obviously wants to work something out with his friends,’ says our insider. ‘He wants to get the dream team back together. There have been a few whiffs of a reunion in the past, but only now – and very privately – is something finally starting to happen.’
Our source adds, ‘This is big in hip hop. These are three of the most powerful men in music, who might be working together, and there’s no question the success they’ll have as a team will be huge.’ WMG Vice President Cohen and Executive Vice President Liles also attempted to convince Jay to bring his Roc Nation label – which is part of the reported $150 million deal he cut with Live Nation – to WMG. Jay, however, has chosen to release his much-anticipated 15th album, The Blueprint 3, with Live Nation in the fall.
‘Jay’s deal with Live Nation is massive,’ says another music-biz insider. ‘But if he were to cut a deal with WMG/Atlantic, he’d make even more headlines. Jay-Z, Lyor Cohen and Kevin Liles are all brand names. They’re the industry’s heavy hitters, and the combination would bring them a lot of attention. They would be unstoppable. Jay himself is the most successful rapper-turned-businessman out there.’
Jay-Z (real name Shawn Carter) is a force to be reckoned with on his own. He reportedly bought himself out of his contractual obligations with Def Jam/Universal for a cool $5 million.
A rep at WMG would not comment; Jay-Z’s team didn’t return calls.”
That loud boom was the sound of Dame Dash’s head exploding.
If this really is the pitbull in a skirt’s Twitter, than Evey-Eve really isn’t feeling Chris Brown’s recent vlog. At least somebody got some sense.

The pre-game Internet hype on this is gonna be unbearable. With my homie Mike Heron in the mix I have hope that the final product lives up to the anticipation. I can’t recall one tune from Padded Room. No shots.
I put you up on this series about a week ago but I forgot it’s a daily operation. Duh. Peep what you might be missing.

YN and Rosenberg weren’t the only ones gettin’ their interview on backstage at the Drake show. The 1515 Boys were in the place-to-be also and they got Drizzy to admit his stannery respect for Kanye.
Bonus: JC reviewed NY show:
Drake, 22, is an extremely adept student, pairing the whimsical, intricate rhymes of Lil Wayne with the melodic gifts and self-flagellation of Kanye West. He’s a braggart and a skeptic, a stud and a nerd.
Do you believe?

Mr. West explains to Sway why he went ga-ga over the Lady Gaga hit. I still don’t think the Cudi song is that good, but hey, what’d I know? Ha!
Bonus: The clip ‘Ye sampled from.

No Kanye but check this nigga out at the 3:20 mark. B.Dot does the same dance every day at the Mansion.

The homie Peter Rosenberg’s Hot 97 Who’s Next series was extra packed and star-studded last night with Drake as the headliner. Still and all that didn’t stop YN from bumrushing the backstage area and gettin’ his flip cam on. Hey who could stop me? Dude at the end I didn’t like too tough, we might have to have a nice conversation next time I see him.
Sidebar: The host also accosted Drake and surprise guest, Mr. West.
Hits Daily Double is still in Jay’s business and claims The Carters are soon-to-be labelmates. Let’s act like we haven’t heard this one before.
Several sightings of Columbia/Epic Label Group Chairman Rob Stringer and Jay-Z’s Roc Nation partner Jay Brown, on both coasts have led insiders to speculate about the possibility of the company landing at Sony Music.
Jay-Z, who inked a much-publicized $150 million, 360-deal with Live Nation in April, 2008, recently bought back his completed album from UMG for a reported $5 million, raising the question whether that album will now be part of the Sony pact.
Expect this deal to go down soon, say those close to the negotiations, and look for the production/management team’s output to be released by both Columbia and Epic, filling the void in Urban/Pop that has existed at the company since the ironic departures of first Mariah Carey and then, ex-hubby/label boss Tommy Motolla.

Got a feeling I’m not gonna be able to get the Big Homie to confirm this one but I’ll try. For you! I do it for hip-hop. Ha!

“Just a friendly message for everybody man who thought I was gone forever/Partner, it’s a year and a day and countin’ you understand that/By the time you hear this, I’ll probably be half way home/Now remember that, sucker (Laugh).”
Here’s the official version of the first single from the re-release of Paper Trail called Case Closed. Ah, so clever.
