These lil R&B niggas will do anything to stay relevant won’t they. Fresh off his haircut, Mr. You Got Served appears to be swagger jackin’ Ray J and videotaped some X-rated fun with his new ex-stripper wife and her special friend. Oh my.

For all the raunchy, photo-filled foolery: YBF

Bun B Rejects Pharrell’s Production
UGK RapRadar.com

In an article in today’s Houston Chronicle celebrating the release of the final UGK album, Bun explains why he turned down outside contributors for the project like Pharrell from The Neptunes.

“People needed to hear the UGK they were used to, the way they were used to hearing it,” Bun says. “Pharrell (Williams of the Neptunes) is a really good friend who really wanted to contribute to this album. We were concerned with it fitting in sonically. You don’t just do things just because you can. And I didn’t want it to seem like I was taking advantage of the situation by working with people that I wanted to work with.”

Plus, Skateboard P’s been slippin’ and his recent sonic tunes haven’t exactly been hard to resist. No one’s payin’ a ransom for his tracks anymore. Good call, Bun! Ha!

Late Pass: Lil Wayne x Juelz Santana “By Myself”
Santana Wayne RapRadar.com

“It seems like my day one niggas/ Ain’t actin’ like day one niggas/ I ain’t changed/ I just came up niggas.”

Juelz Santana gave Miss Info four songs from the I Can’t Feel My Face mixtape and like she said this one is the best of the bunch. I also included the Stevie Wonder sample the track is built around. It’s not like these songs are ever officially coming out, so why not? I’m here to educate the youth. Ha!

“By Myself”

Speaking of lusting after chicks, the rap nerds’ poster girl Tahiry a.k.a. Mrs. Joe Budden is on the next cover of KING magazine. Here, Jump Off gives a lil’ insight into what’s sure to be a big day in the Internets when those pictures drop. Get your hard drives ready, jerks. Don’t hurt yourselves. Ha!

It turned out amazing. She naturally looks amazing, her shape and her body is definitely one of a kind, naturally. So I anticipate the [cover] shot. I think people are looking for it. And I can’t say I blame them.”

Holla at the homie: Mr. KennedyKennedy!

Guess those Biggie Smalls records really did bump in Houston like Scarface produced ’em. Here’s Slim Thugga gettin’ his dreams of fuckin’ an R&B (and or rap) bitch on. What happened to ole girl that B booted out the group? Oh well, hide your daughters, the big fella is single and ready to mingle.

Moment of Clarity: Charles Hamilton vs. Black Spade
Charles H RapRadar.com

 

Black Spade RapRadar.com

My homie from The Scratch days, The Gooch wanted to give his take on the beat-jackin’ accusation-filled, finger-pointin’ foolery goin on between Charles Hamilton and Black Spade. The following views don’t necessarily reflect YN’s, but this is my house and I live here. The floor is Mr. Cantor’s.

There’s been much debate going on in the rap blogosphere today about whether or not Charles Hamilton beatjacked St. Louis producer/MC Black Spade for a track he claims he produced and uploaded to his Myspace player in 2007. There’s apparently a dialogue going on between all parties involved (Kenny Fresh, of Freshselects.net; Black Spade; and Charles Hamilton), obviously Spade is sticking to his story, and Charles to his.

After carefully listening to each track multiple times, it’s obvious that there are similarities and differences between them. Any time producers are working with samples, there’s the possibility that two different beatmakers can flip the same sample in similar ways. Still, it’s rare that producers will use the same types of drum sounds, the same swing on the rhythm section, same tempo, and so on. Because Spade’s version is a rough mix, you need to listen to each track with a pair of headphones, and you can very clearly hear that young Charles was working off Spade’s skeleton of a track. The whole beat is noticeably beefed up. There are some portions that sound like they have overdubbed vocals and additional layers of keys added, which Charles alluded to in his defense that he actually made the track.

Throwback Track: Asher Roth “Family Man”
Asher RapRadar.com

Urban legend or in this case White Folk legend says this is the song that got Asher Roth his first record deal. Now with his album droppin’ on 4.20, it’s time to go back to Roth’s roots. Truth be told, this song isn’t half bad if you can block out a chorus that makes me want to shoot your daughter in the calf muscle. Album’s way better.

New Video: Twista “Wetter”

[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.891866&w=425&h=350&fv=]

Goin’ to hell for saying this but the first 40 seconds here is so R Kelly. B.Dot’s right, this guy keeps tryin’ to recapture “Slow Jamz.” Does Twista even have any kind of record deal right now? He sure is floodin’ us (pun intended) with new music. Like I said, I fucks with that Game joint but I got my umbrella up on this one. Fuck outta here.

Must be Def Jam leak day. Here’s the joint Rawse recently teased us with, a collabo with his Q-Boro labelmate, Nas.

After one listen, not that hot but notable nonetheless.

50 Cent Fires Back At Rawse With “Window Shopper (Live)”

[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.891868&w=425&h=350&fv=]

“Get that nigga 50. Get ’em!”

At a recent show in front of his neighbors (Peace, Connecticut!), Curtis climbs up a big-ass speaker to show off his new sneakers. How dare Rick Ross say he can’t dress? Um… Anyway, he then proceeds with what I need—one of my favorite tunes from the Get Rich soundtrack.

Bonus: Who can forget M-A-Dollar Sign-E and his $75 milkshake? Ha!

Charles Hamilton Responds To Beat Jackin’ Rumor
Chuck RapRadar.com

No surprise. Charles Hamilton is highly irritated about accusations that he stole the track to his song “Shinin.” Peep some of what he said on his blog and if you still don’t believe him he’ll send you the Pro Tools session. Lord knows, I got it.

“My song, “Shinin” was recorded November 18th 2006. At the end of the song I say, “Yung Nate. Nigga your birthday coming up. You ain’t that young.”

Nate’s birthday was November 23rd.

He graduated FDA in 2006. And still came back to the studio. Just like me.

But Yung Nate NOR “Black Spade” is Charles Hamilton.

“Black Spade” said he put his version of the song on MySpace in 2007.

I just showed y’all dates, and I have witnesses.

ON TOP of having beat files.

E-Rich, on some G sh1t, I probably should post the Fruity Loops file. And the ProTools session. And let the world see how “G” I am. But that’s giving this no name n1gga WAY too much attention.

And even realer than that, if I jacked your beat, and PERFORMED IT IN FRONT OF YOU, I should be blogging about my bruises, right?

F*ck outta here.”

Rihanna call this lil nigga back already. He needs a hug. Ha!

 

T-Pain Admits He Busted His Ass
T-Pain RapRadar.com

T-Pain returned to Lil Wayne’s I Am Music tour on Sunday and admitted rumors of his golf cart accident were true.

“There’s a lot of talk that I flipped over in a golf cart,” he told the audience. “That’s f***ing true.”

“It did happen like three days ago,” he went on to say. “My ass is on fire right now. My side hurt, my mouth hurt.”

“I bust my ass. I’d show you the marks, but I don’t wanna pull my pants down right now.”

“I got my teeth fixed the same day. Rich ni**a teeth.”

 “If I was any less of a showman tonight, I apologize.”

One Auto-Tune singer don’t stop no show however, Lil’ Kim spent the weekend shootin’ her video “Download” without him. Check out her feign concern after the jump.

All Praises Due To Bill Withers

If you don’t know who Bill Withers is then go do your research. OK I’ll help you a lil’ bit. Dude is one of my favorite musicians of all-time so needless to say I’m amped about this upcoming documentary on him. Apparently, it debuted out in Austin during SXSW but I missed it. Where the fuck I was at? I lost!

Don’t think there’s ever been so much female rap royalty in one place. Missy, Lil Kim, Yo-Yo, Rage, MC Lyte all pay respect to her royal highness at her born day bash last night. Look at Ms. Whitaker gettin’ her hostess on—that’s my Miss Rap Supreme. Ha! 

Thanks to producers Cool and Dre’s twitter for the tip. Ha!

Friday night, Keri Hilson was on Jimmy Kimmel and she brought her lil ass-slappin’ buddy, Lil Wayne a.k.a. the #1 rapper in the game. Hey, I’m just statin’ facts I didn’t put him there. Anyway, watch the king of Late Night bust out Birdman Jr. for his raunchy lyrics. Who knows what Wayne ever says, right?

As you can see, this is the debut of the RR TV Tuner cards. That’s right, Rip Game Proper (Telemundo Style). Step to the rear, Mr. World Premiere. Ha! I’m just jokin’. Jokes! No shots as you kids say.

Fall Out Boy RapRadar.com

No rappers were harmed in the shooting of this photo.

Fall Out Boy got down with a trio of rappers—Joe Budden, Murs, 88-Keys—for a remix to their song “America’s Suitehearts”. Even tho this is hip-hop related, I wouldn’t even post this song if it wasn’t sent to me by the Brothers Rosenthal. Looks like these two young Jews have entered the bootleg business. Congrats, guys. Moonshine!
