New Music: Beanie Sigel x 50 Cent “I Go Off” (Snippet)

Billboard provided a preview of what’s coming at the end of the week. No shots fired at Hov in the following 30 seconds. “I’ll give you something to talk about / come around me fronting, I’ll air you out / I go off,” 50 harmonizes at the beginning of the song atop a drum-heavy, winded production. “I don’t shoot sh*t off, dog, I gun it down / walk up on n*ggas and run them down / pull a stock out […]

New Music: MJ “Buttercup” (Unreleased)

We’re still celebratin’ the King. This is the best tune off his finest posthumous release that I’ve heard thus far. Stevie Wonder wrote the following and how it didn’t end up being on an MJ album before is beyond me. If you don’t like this one, get the fuck off my site and don’t you ever come back. Ha!

Another LL Greatest Hits Album

As nice as it is to see Uncle L get his proper due again with All World 2. If the tracklist after the jump is correct, then three of the songs on this greatest hits compilation already appeared on the original. Can you say tonearm sequence fail again? Don’t make me do my own. You know how I do. UPDATE: Nav has cleaned up the mess. Amazon got it wrong. No repeats. “The Ripper Strikes Back” is a rare record […]

Game Interview (Invasion Radio)

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3893941&w=425&h=350&fv=] “It’s cool to get on the phone with a bunch of real niggas.” With BG and Khaled in the house, Game called into Green Lantern’s Invasion Radio show this past Monday night. B Gizzle is really feelin’ the R.E.D. album concept and Chuck Taylor can’t stop talkin’ about his joyous reunion with Dr. Dre. He also promises his Valentine’s Day timed CD will be his most hood and street since his debut, The Documentary. Where have I heard […]

Wale On 106 & Park

No, your ears didn’t deceive you. The homie Mr. Folarin shouted your boy out in front of Terrence and Rocsi today on 106 & Park. Thank you Stephen Hill for not cuttin’ me out. And oh yeah, have you purchased Attention Deficit yet?

RR Listening: Rihanna “Rated R”

Fuck holding your eye. So this afternoon along with a selected handful of critics, YN got to sit in Antonio Reid’s plush office and listen to Ri-Ri’s new album out of his Genelec Speakers. My BB and Iphone stayed in my pockets and I had to go hand-to-hand with my notes. So forgive me if the future proves my observations wrong. Here we go. Mad House Intro interlude. Slow plodding. Brief. No lyrics. Dark. Sets tone for record which is […]

Behind The Scenes: Ja Rule “Father Forgive Me”

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3887937&w=425&h=350&fv=] Can’t believe it’s 2009 and Ja’s still trying to make this record work. This reminds me, I heard Irv Gotti officially retired from the music biz. Can someone hit the kid and let me know the deal? Anyways, back to the music. I’m a sucker for a Beatles sample, but I think Jeffrey got beat by a brother from BK. WSHH
