The Trap-A-Holics got their hands on it first, but here it is untagged courtesy of my dude Alchemist. Good lookin’ out homie.

Look out for Chemical Warfare in June.

Truth be told, “Maybach 2” instrumental is just as good, if not better than the song. Too bad when producers speak, most rap fans tune out (R.I.P. Scratch).
Also for the true music connoisseurs, here’s a recent intv J.L. did with VIBE.

“You try to get your money up well it’s time too/ Cause every other cat on the block is on the grind too/ Lookin’ to catch your ass slippin’ right behind you/ Catchin’ you makin’ bacon and lay you down like the swine flu/ Damn, somebody pass me a face mask/ ‘Cause I ain’t tryin’ to catch a late pass from your fake ass.”
Bun B blacks out on the Clipse-Kanye collabo.

This reminds me, DJ Wonder and I were at the radio station the other day, talkin’ about the gift and the curse of this song. Kanye’s verse sounds like an old freestyle from a Tapemasters Inc. mixtape and the beat Khalil did, sounds like a vintage ‘Ye track. I need that instrumental like yesterday.

“We ain’t go to Venezuela to feed the monkeys.”
Apparently MTV was pre-taped and this is Ricky’s true victory speech live from St. Martin where he’s apparently vacationing with his Carol City conglomerate.
I got two questions:
1) Do real gangstas rock pink Air Yeezy’s?
2) Three #1 albums in a row is a great accomplishment, but is 158 K really somethin’ to brag about?
Sometimes, Yellow Nigga just gets confused.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
My former fellow light-skinded XXL blogger is ready to share after the jump.
Every other site that I go—I see the same posts. Ha! And a lot of them are stocked with plenty of Wu-connected content lately. As a close witness to RZA’s masterplan powerfully penetrating the mainstream in the early 90’s, it’s with a heavy heart I try to remain as positive as I can about the state of Shaolin in 2009. But it’s so hard. The catalogue is so classic, anything released in the last few years fails badly in comparison. Oh well. Time will tell.
In the meantime, I’m waxing nostalgic admiring legacy over an article in Wax Poetics that Diggers Union discovered. GZA, The Clan’s Capo recalls his super second album and drops plenty of gems. Here’s one. Peace God!
“4th Chamber”—Crazy, crazy song. If I ever do a rock album, not saying I would, but if I did, it would have to be on that kind of vibe. It would musically have to sound like “Rock Box” from Run DMC. Making “4th Chamber” was crazy because I didn’t have a rhyme ready for that one. That’s why I went last on it [laughs]. Plus, Ghost killed it with his verse so I knew I had to come correct.
This is one of three songs that crowds always go crazy for when we do a Wu show. As soon as they hear the [imitates opening guitar sound] they just explode. It’s not even a GZA song to me—it’s a Wu-Tang song. And Ghost’s verse is [just] incredible to me. He delivered so well. I don’t know if you saw the video, I directed that too. This song, the guest verses, the video, the crowd response, all turned out perfect for this one.
A few lil birdies told me Kanye’s boo has been upgraded from Smooth magazine status to an upcoming Elle inside-the-book portfolio and a Complex cover. That’s right, my son NCB who slutted out Aubrey and got Cassie to flash her ass, is sure to soon deliver the goodness to get you geeks out of your post Tahiry doldrums. Get your cocoa butter, busters!
Jay-Z has a big concert at Arizona Stadium tonight and according to this report, he’s makin’ a pretty penny. What a shocker! Anyways, I told dude today was a slow news day, so he sent me these photos. Courtesy of the Big Homie’s blackberry, so don’t get your eyes blurry trying to make sense of the words written by the hand that don’t write. Ha!
I hope somebody in desi has a flip cam.
Slut Monkey still strivin’ and survivin’. Stop bitchin’ about the Recession that shit’s depressin’. Ha!
Well, this is different. Ha!
In a first for the network, Cinemax exclusively debuts the latest, never before seen, uncensored music video from rap star Eminem, on Saturday, May 2 at 10pm ET/PT. The music video for “3 a.m.,” the third track to be released from Eminem’s forthcoming album, “Relapse,” was directed by Syndrome. The “3 a.m.” video will air just prior to Cinemax’s Saturday night pay television premiere of the horror film, The Strangers, starring Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman and will continue to air on the network throughout the month of May.
Getcha DVR’s ready!

Too bad Asher didn’t get to go all in on this. Instead, he performed “I Love College” first. You don’t wanna see that, do you? Ha.
RR guest blogger Adam Aziz, goes in what he thinks Marshall’s return is gonna sound like based merely on the song titles. Pretty clever. And also speaks on the public demand for the album.
1. “Dr. West (Skit)” – 1:29
Wake up Mr. West, Mr. West? Could Kanye be leading off Eminem’s “Relapse” with a brief “Gay Fish” rendition? Nah…not likely. This will obviously be a “doctor” talking about Eminem’s need for prescription pills. I guarantee you it won’t be as exciting as “children should not partake in the listening of this album with laces in their shoes.”
2. “3am” – 5:20
We’ve heard this. I promise y’all…I’m REALLY trying to like this song…it isn’t working.
3. “My Mom” – 5:20
I can’t wait to hear this song. Why? Because if it’s actually about Eminem’s mom it might make “KIM” look like a church hymn. My favourite line from Eminem about his mom:
“which is it bitch Mrs. Briggs or Ms. Mathers?/It doesn’t matter, your attorney Fred Gibson’s a faggot.” The “Fred Gibson” portion of the lyric was actually edited out on the album version. You learn somethin’ new everyday.
4. “Insane” – 3:01
“Crazy insane or insane crazy? When I say Hussein you say Shady.” I assume this song will have some sort of frantic beat while Em rips the track to shreds. It’ll probably be a straight spitter…at least that’s my guess.
5. “Bagpipes From Baghdad” – 4:43
I think this song is gonna go one of two ways. It’ll either be a serious look at America’s current involvement in the wars around the globe…or it’s gonna be Eminem rapping in the Triumph The Insult Comic Dog voice over some quirky, cartoon’ish beat. I am REALLY looking forward to hearing this but I just have a bad feeling about the final results based on the title. Eminem’s off drugs, right? How the hell did he come up with that title then? haha.
Peep the rest at one of my favorite sites: Broken Cool.

Guess who’s happy Ricky went #1? The Penguin of hip-hop also promises The Officer is right back in the stu. But, you didn’t hear it from him. Hush!
One of BK’s finest shot a visual for a song that we never heard before.

Apparently, this ran on MTV2. Who watches TV anymore?
it's a discursive way of doing rap
