I’m still gonna call this guy B.O.B. for now. Gettin’ us warmed up for his SXSW performances, we have…

“Mr. Bobby”

{mp3}01 – bobby ray aka b.o.b. – mr. bobby{/mp3}

“Ghost In The Machine”

{mp3}02 – bobby ray aka b.o.b. – ghost in a machine{/mp3}

YN Says: “Ghost In The Machine” > “Mr. Bobby.” No shots.

Just when I lost all hope on my property value, there are new reports that the Nets will indeed be movin’ to New York for the 2011- 2012 season. Too bad for Hov and company that’s a year after LeBron is free. Would the Roc Boy play in swamp land for a year? I wouldn’t bet on it.

The thing that sucks about being an artist today is that with very lil technology someone can take your song and fuck it up. Someone tell Black Ty he owes Mr. West an apology. This is worst than the Ray J video.

Brandy’s baby bro is such a cornball it’s amazing he ever gets laid. His boys are a bunch of burgers too. FTL!

Damn you: Mr. World Premiere. Ha!

We thought about postin’ the official music video earlier but didn’t. Instead how ’bout a rare live performance of a certified classic that kept white folks crazily bent in the early 90’s? This song reminds me of first gettin’ into this music industry cesspool. Here’s a toast: To my lost innocence. Forward. Never backward.

Ok this is painful to watch. Not cause Milian isn’t still easy on the eyes. Yeah the blonde is hurt but the grill is still cute. No this is excruciating because of the radio personality conducting the intv. “Go ‘head now”

It’s tradition: Horny young hip-hop fans covet thy favorite rapper’s wifey. And as XXL smartly points out there are two top contenders who are currently vying for the crown of adolescent adulation. In one corner, the not-so-quiet bald head, Kanye West’s new tag-poppin’ gal pal, Amber Rose. In the other, the mami got massive back, Internet star rising arm candy of Joe “Mouse” Budden, Tahiry. Is it the exotic tri-anything-sexual? Or the fiery latina?

Remember when this guy was supposed to be the Hot Boy Hall of Famer? SMH. What a sad decline as evidenced by this latest tune. I think I’ve lost all hope ha. Birdman’s Revenge!

“Back Back”

Damn, I was tryin’ to break this song since we launched the site. Oh well. Capo did give us this video. Oh yeah I don’t care what no one says. First verse Cam. Second verse Max. Ya smell me?

“Frienemies”

Props: YK2

Bonus: Time to educate the kids.

Gang Starr “B.I. Vs. Friendship”

“Razor Ramon flow, oh so sharp.”

The young God, B.Dot is gonna wake up, listen to this, and eat his words for breakfast. This shit knocks. The best song I’ve heard from dude so far. Ha! Viva La Revolucion! See ya in Austin, Asher.

“Lark On My Go Cart”

OK, this morning my WSHH player conked out and tonight my MTV one (no I can’t just embed vidoes, it’s a long story) did the same. Still I can’t go to bed without acknowledging the work my homie Shaheem Reid and company are puttin’ in.

All in a day’s work:

50 Cent promises two albums this year just like Marshall did.

Gucci Mane details his comeback plans including shootin’ video with Cam in ATL manana.

Now that he’s not “retiring” B.O.B. changes rap name to Bobby Ray.

That’s not to mention the crazy Asher Roth and Lil Wayne footage.

Once again, props to the whole squad at 1515. Keep up the good work!

The outkasts of Camp Curtis flick it up at a recent party in Houston. Let me watch my mouth since I’m headed to Texas. Ha! I don’t want no problems, problems!

No Reggie Noble needed as the underrated legendary group, De La Soul run through “Ooh!” at a recent L.A. show. Don’t these guys have some album comin’ out through Nike, I wanna hear it.

On his May 19th promo run, DJ Drama takes a moment to speak on scrap with Jeezy’s affiliates.

“There’s a lot of rumors spread around the Internet. They said my chain was snatched. I got bloodied up. It got a lil crazy out there but you know, a lil scuffle. Grown man business. Nothing crazy. Nothing serious. Happens every day.”

“He a definition of a true fresh MC. What we can’t forget is that like he said it’s always about the work ethic. And when you makin’ strong music and you can stand around for 20 pieces, 20 darts. You a bad man.”

First New York Magazine disses his blog and then they interview Kanye West about it. What are they a rap magazine? Ha! Anyway ‘Ye admitted he does have two helpers at the University but all content needs to meet his approval.

“It might [blog for] two hours in a day, it might be fifteen minutes in a day. I have two people that I hired and I tell them exactly what I want

Every day a new rapper joins the only social networking site that matters. It’s gettin’ increasingly hard to keep up with all the MCs on there. You can’t make a Jim Jones joke without Tru Life hittin’ you back. Here Reflection Eternal’s finest breaks out the Twitter pom-poms. Be clear: I run Twitter. Even my haters follow me. Ha!

Props: Emoticon

What’s a day without leakage from All In A Day’s Work? Here’s the intro. My personal fave so far.

“To Be Told…”

{mp3}01_to_be_told{/mp3}

We just put a feature up on this guy and he’s talking about “retiring.” SMH. Rappers get on blogs and social network all over the place and all they end up with is system overload. Then they want to take their ball and go home. You kids are crazy. I’m goin’ to SXSW to talk some sense into you young fools.

Kid Cudi Retires (And he’s sorry like Vanilla)

Looks like Mr. West has upgraded his lady friend as the two were all dolled up at the Opera last night.

A far cry from when Ye’s buddy Perez Hilton was throwing ole girl under the bus.

Bonus: Necole Bitchie has audio from an old Angela Yee Lip Service intv that a raunchy Rose did.
