This joint originally dropped back in ’07 with Lil Jon. But Mannie threw a new beat on it and added some of his trademark charismatic verses. How could anyone ever hate on Byron? He’s so old school and cool. We can all get paid, young punks. Props: Young Kingz Bonus: I’ll point out the bounce. Thanks: TJ

Ok, we warned you about this one. I get that this is for Z100 but between Scottie’s “Smooth Criminal”-inspired “Are you ok?” backing vocals and Sha’s rumbling pop slop, I almost lost my appetite for breakfast. Yuck. Don’t Blame You: HHNM Update: Art courtesy of Illionaire

Billboard caught-up with Alicia on the set of her next video. She gives a long explanation about the visual’s treatment which jacks elements of Hancock. Um, ok? Let’s hope she doesn’t ruin the song for me. Props: UHTN Sidebar: She’s on the cover too.

Here’s the CDQ of Alan’s son gettin’ his Venus vs. Mars on. Hate to admit it, but this is as catchy and bizarre as the joint with Jay that just leaked. Minaj actually shines on this. Go figure. Previously: Robin Thicke Loves His Nicki Minaj Collabo

Concerned as to what Ri-Ri will say specifically about the night of Feb 8th, Brown’s camp just released this statement. “While I respect Rihanna’s right to discuss the specific events of February 8, I maintain my position that all of the details should remain a private matter between us,” he said in the statement. “I do appreciate her support and wish her the best.

DJ Enuff barely spoke on this and let it go. So, I assume CDQ will be here ASAP. What would we do without Hov? Slow news day.

“As Black as my nigga Bu” Akon’s baby bro, Bu Thiam is a new VP at the house Russell, Lyor, and Rick built. It’s safe to assume Young Jizzle approves this decision. When are we gettin’ TM103 anyway? 4th quarter showdown with Gucci or wait til early next year for the Jigga tour? Decisions, decisions. Props: Bossip

VIBE’s not the only one supporting Breezy. YRB
