Chris Brown Pleads Not Guilty
CB RapRadar.com

Epic Fail for the founding member of YN’s Fuck Boy club.

“Chris Brown has just pled not guilty to two felonies — assault and making criminal threats.”

With ex girlfriend Rihanna nowhere in sight, Brown showed up at L.A. County criminal courthouse to face the music for allegedly beating the crap out of her back in February.

Brown is due back in court on April 29.”

Down With The Crew Called DTP: Lil Scrappy
Scrappy RapRadar.com

Apparently Lil Scrappy is no longer jockin’ Lil Jon or Curtis and has pulled his wagon up to the house that Luda’s built. The announcement was made at last night’s Young Jeezy concert in the ATL. A great rap free agent move? Darryl Richards gets rich or dies tryin’? I don’t know about you, but I’m over dude. Three strikes and you’re out. Toss him off the stage like an Orlando cop did. Ha!

New Music: Asher Roth Ft. Cee-Lo “Be By Myself”
Asher Cee-Lo RapRadar.com

Ok, you loved College (well at least the mainsteam did. Ha!) but will you love this? This is the official second single from Asher Roth’s debut. Gonna be interesting to see if this connects. I didn’t like it that much at first listen, but it’s growing on me. It’s from the Andre 3000 school of funk. Rock on.

Throwback Bonus: Roth makes Cee-Lo connection

True Story: I wanted to go to this. But Joey I.E. and I couldn’t work out the clearance. Hip-hop spent the weekend in Ohio. Ha!

Damn, Nigel beats us to the punch. Ha!

Shawty Lo’s Down With The King
T.I.Shawty RapRadar.com

Here is a pic of T.I. and Shawty Lo backstage at Young Jeezy’s concert at the Philips Arena in the ATL last night. Shawty Lo looks thrilled to be friends with T.I. again and almost has this, “Ok he likes me now…I better be careful” look on his face. For some reason, this photo reminds me of the one featuring The Game and the guy that got knocked out by the barber:

Run-DMC’s Secret Weapon
Larry Smith RapRadar.com

With all the hoopla and the emotional speeches, Run-DMC and company forgot to thank a producer who played a huge role in building their sound. Larry “King of The Beats” Smith is the most underrated trackmaster of all time. He crafted classics for Darryl and Joe (“It’s Like That,” “Sucker MC’s,” “Rock Box”), Whodini (“Friends,” “Five Minutes of Funk,” “Freaks Come Out At Night”) and Maino’s “Hi Haters” jacked his Jimmy Spicer hit “Money (Dollar Bill Y’all).” You kids got a lot to learn and I have to teach. Ha!

John Cena Gets Shady At Wrestlemania

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRS0Tog2ZsA]

I’m a wrestling fan (any slick ass comments about that and you’ll be receiving a Batista Bomb with the quickness) and while watching Wrestlemania 25 last night I noticed the WWE’s former white-boy rapper turned American hero John Cena channeled one Slim Shady for his ring entrance.

You’ll remember Eminem doing something very similar at the MTV Awards several years back. But instead of baseball caps and jean shorts, it was blonde hair and white tees:

Fun fact: John Cena raps better than both Flo-Rida and Charles Hamilton.

R.I.P. Tony D
Tony D RapRadar.com

I used to own this album. It contained the original version of “O.P.P.” that the Naughty boys jacked (Don’t tell Treach I said that). This is the first thing that comes to my mind with the passing of Tony D this past weekend. One of the baddest White men behind the boards, this New Jersey bred Italian American was the man behind the sounds of the positively pro-Black group, Poor Righteous Teachers. He also did my favorite YZ joint. I know I lost some of you young bucks so just peep the two vids after the jump.

The homie Adam Aziz from Broken Cool is guestbloggin’ this week at the Double R. Welcome to the team, my dude. He brings us the following: 

This is recent footage of Canibus performing in the MIA. And while it does look like it’s a sell-out crowd of maybe 40-50 people, everyone in attendance appears to be enjoying themselves…even the requisite white girl on side stage hoping for a “Second Round K.O.” after the show.

Eminem cut this for CBS to celebrate his hometown. Guess who he’s rootin’ for in the finals? Ha!
