My homie Erik Parker, weighs in on all the 50-Ross foolery. It’s OK kids to read long articles every once in awhile. You may learn something. Ha!

Sidebar: Yup. Curtis and William have the same lawyer. Theo is the overlord of rap. Where’s my flip cam?

Very well done. And really funny. I heart all the weed heads who are gonna think this is real deal Holyfield. Ha!
Sidebar: Scooter “Super Wavvy” Braun respects YN. Fuck Boy status has been lifted. Clean slate!
Oh go to TheDailyKush.com. A lil sloppy on the watermark. Our bad.
Now that Ricky leaked last night, I can stop pretending I didn’t have the CD since yesterday afternoon. Here’s a final one from Deeper Than Rap that I’m really diggin’. Sounds like a Southern rap strip club anthem to me. Even if you disagree, you gotta admit, at the very least, it bodies the Foxy joint. Slip-N- Slide Forever!
“Face”

Sidebar: Havin’ a Bang ‘Em Smurf call-in at the end of “In Cold Blood” is pretty lame. And what’s up with Ross special thankin’ 50’s lawyer, Theo Sedimayer in the album credits? The truth is way more sinister!
He’s the newest member of the G.O.O.D. Music team and he’s gonna make that nigga ‘Ye mad more c.r.e.a.m.? Hmm, time will tell. In meantime, here’s some cool flavor from Big Sean’s new mixtape droppin’ for free here tmw.
“Desire, Want & Need”

Flip the covers for the tracklist and a snippet of a song from the major label Def Jam debut.

Two Kings of the Internets collided last night: Mouse and ?uesto. Check out Jump-Off blessin’ the weekly Highline Ballroom proceedings. Don’t know why I keep forgettin’ like Mike McDonald to attend these gigs. I lost. Anyway, ’til Dallas Penn comes with better footage, this should hold you over.
And did I miss some greasy talk?
After the sequel, it’s probably this:

Jeez, “Thriller” had less drama than this video. I’m a quarter Spanish, but I don’t know what the fuck is goin’ on here. Except Jessy Terrero owes you, Curtis.
Bonus: Behind the scenes foolery with Curtis playin’ with his watch again.

Pay attention B.Dot, this is the man who was Magnificent before Ricky Ross. Here’s one of BK’s finest breakin’ down his first classic “I Got It Made,” speakin’ on what the game’s been missing and explains how the Officer paid homage.
“He [Ross] brought me down to Miami to do a cameo in the video. He also hit me up to get on the remix… I’m lookin’ forward to that. I think that’s gonna show people how relevant I am. And that I’m not that far from any of these current hot quote unquote rappers that are in rotation right now.”
Ok slow down, pa.

All this “Mafia Music (Remix)” talk got me reminscing about the time when all 50 Cent’s rivals got together at Dave and Ray’s traveling circus aka The 2004 Source Awards. Ja performs “New York” with Fat Joe and Jada in between scene-stealing cameos by eye candy models, Murda Ma$e, Tego Calderon and at least 75 niggas on stage. Total kaos.

Is there an unreleased version or upcoming remix with Weezy? Inquiring minds wanna know.
LL Cool J’s E! True Hollywood Story airs tmw tax day at 10 pm EST and on it, The Real Uncle L still points the finger at L.A. Reid’s house for his last CD being a coaster.
“The record just really
honestly, you know, didn’t have that support that I wish it would have
had. [I] can’t blame anyone. It was my last record, and I guess for
whatever reason, whether it was quality or business, you know, the
company just decided that they were going to write it off and not
really give it that shot.”
They gave it a shot. They put it out. It sucked. It didn’t hit. They pulled the plug. Life after Jay-Z? Same result Todd. Cue up *Man in The Mirror* and listen closely. This is for your own concern.

The man who signed the Wu and Mobb Deep, declares that his new artist Asher Roth’s Asleep In The Bread Aisle will bear the Loud logo and will enter an elite class: The Top 5 Albums That Have Changed Hip-Hop. Whoa! Although he wouldn’t say it in the video, I have good authority that these are Rifkind’s other four picks:
N.W.A Straight Outta Compton
Public Enemy It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back
Wu-Tang Clan Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers
Eminem The Marshall Mathers LP
Where’s does all this put Deeper Than Rap (which still hasn’t leaked. Ugh!)?
4-20, y’all.
What’s this? Cam accepting an inside-the-book-feature and giving VIBE a photo shoot?! Lord knows, I know that ain’t easy to make happen. Are there ever enough Killa quotables? Plus NY Times respected scribe, Jon Carmanica is a byline you can trust. Act like you know. I think that Rihanna issue needs to be in your bathroom asap. Keep print alive!
B.Dot’s favorite magazine turns two and Trevor doesn’t have to touch ole girl to get the front page. Magazines are dying every day, but the Drama King is still livin’ his Black Hugh Hefner dream. Smh.

Uh oh, Dick and the crew are back again. And guess who their latest target is? Yup. Ricky. Ricky. Ricky.
