Sat in as guest co-host on The Morning After with Angela Yee. And in honor of 4-20, we talked to Asher Roth about his new album and chopped it up with certified smoker Dame Dash? Color me naive, but I didn’t know Boogie’s pops got down like that.

A J Train-ridin’, pause-tape makin’ 15-year-old talks about creating his debut album, meeting De La Soul, the formation of Native Tongues and the bidding war that brought Tribe to Jive. On the latter, you gotta learn to live with regrets. Ha!

More flicks from the land of Escobar. I wish Gabe T woulda flew a nigga out for this one, but I guess I forgive ’em now. Ha!

Whoo Kid gets a haircut and a shave as Talib Kweli shoots a quick video for the song I brought to the Internets a lil while back. Damn, the nigga Mr. Greene could have at least taken his hat off and shit. Ha! Shout out to Dan The Man.

A watermelon-eatin’ MC Serch. Red Alert’s record carrier, Baby Chris Lighty. The “Bridge Is Over” acetate. Who’s DJ Flamboyant? The origin of his group’s name. Yup, more crazy musings from The Abstract.
Bonus: Shut up and listen.
“The Promo”

The hottest rapper in the Rotten Apple (Tell ’em I said that) has his first official radio interview with the Voice of New York.
Part 1: Missed the very beginning talk of his TV past and he pretty much confirms the Jay-Z/Just Blaze rumor is true.

Part 2: Dude praises the genius of Weezy and charms the ladies.

Bonus: The rare occasion where the clean edit is better than the dirty.

Props to DJ Ness who beat us all to the punch with his 1–2 combo. But like I did with my Kanye West SXSW footage, I like to roll my shit out chronologically so you can get the real feel of what it was like to be there. Plus, it helps me keep better track of these large ass video files. Ha!
Anyway, this is the first interesting segment of the sit down where Kamaal talks about his childhood, losing talent shows in high school and how he got down with the Jungle Brothers.

A big look for Rick Ross’ bawse who charmed Mr. Rose at a dinner to get his shine on here. Eat your heart out, Hov. Speaking of which, Antonio praises Jay as our Frank Sinatra who discovered Kanye West. (Sorry Dame!) He also recalls his time with Babyface as being the guy, behind the guy (pause); bigs up 50 Cent and Beyonce; and details how he squashed the beef with rival exec Clive Davis. If you have any interest in the music biz, take heed to the words of Mr. Reid.
Where’s my ads? Ha!

The Brooklyn MC with a purist’s soul, discusses his upcoming mixtape where he lyrically demolishes many of your favorite all time rap instrumentals. The mixtape is hosted by Green Lantern and is droppin’ on OnSmash.com. Sounds like a rap nerd’s delight, so unite! Ha!

Had a wonderful time at last night’s Noisemakers event where Hot 97 DJ Peter Rosenberg conducted a thorough interview with Q-Tip. Got a lot of great flip cam footage on the way. But first, there was a lil behind the scenes drama that needed to be documented. Let’s just say things got off to a bumpy start. Ha!
“I don’t want fans. I want believers.”
Here’s another treat off Big Sean’s mixtape which drops later today. You know the student had to touch this tune from the teacher. I honestly had low expectations about this project. But, I’ve been pleasantly surprised so far. Go Big Sean, I ain’t mad at cha. Ha!
“Say You Will”

Looks like Weezy ain’t the only brother on front street. Ray J took the Playboy challenge and had this to say about the infamous romp that made him a household name.
“The memorable sexual experience that keeps popping up in my memory is the time with my ex-girlfriend [Kim Kardashian] in Cabo, Mexico. It was memorable because I put it on my video camera and the whole world is looking at it. I just can’t get it outta my head. I don’t think nobody else can either. It was just a fun time together. We were young, we were both 21 and we just had a good time as couples and just wilding out. We just got down with massages, getting drunk and getting down in the Jacuzzi bath.”
Nigga please. Can’t knock the reality show hustle, but Bush took your booty away. Your 15 mins is up. Ha!
Teddy Penderazdoun after the jump.

“What is on there, Crisco?”
Not that they got all the Dip Set drama out the way, two old friends, Minya Oh and Cameron Giles candidly chop it up about fashion, personal style, hygiene, summersaulting stewardesses and Killa’s big booty-filled blackberry. Yup, this is pretty entertaining. Watch: It’ll make your bad day not so bad. Ha!

“I’ve seen him in the Village before. With his wife. With no security. Comin’ through. Walkin’!. No car service. None of that. Usher in the Village. Some of you rappers should be ashamed of yourselves.”
There’s probably not a happier Black man on the planet today than Jadakiss. I can’t believe dude sold that many units. Who knew? (Insert Jada laugh).
I will say, dude got personality for days and cracks me up. Maybe that helped.
Out of all his viral assaults, I never noticed these vids. Pretty funny.

“It came from me and my crack days. We wanted to seperate our product from the competition. I just brung that method inside of my music… For a fiend when you hit this, and you look at the bag, stick to that bag. Cuz that’s the good shit!”
Can I get a Suuuuuuuu?
Props: HHO
Bonus: Ironically, an official press release went out today announcing that the long-awaited sequel is on the way. But was their a release date included? Nope! Smh.
Vibe got the bombshell as Juvenile comes clean.
“I already signed the deal,” Terius “Juvenile” Grey, told Alison
Fensterstock, in March. “So for me I’m gonna definitely say it’s a go.
I already received the check.” Juve, who’s preparing his ninth solo
album, Cocky and Confident (Atlantic), later this year, went
on to add, “Wayne is going to put that out, so for me and Wayne, it’s a
go. I don’t know if the business been straightened out, but I know
B.G.’s on board and he’s willing to do it. I don’t know where Turk
stand on the business side.”
Yup, I’d like to see it happen. The Cash Money Millionaires have been very very good to me. Ha!
Playboy don’t believe in embed video codes, but they sure believe in reaching out to the hip-hop community. First Wayne spilled his guts about sex and now Pharrell rambles on about Tom Ford, Rice Krispie Treats, and conspiracy books. Like I said before, dude needs to get out that production slump. Find something to influence that.
