Apparently he has a new album out. Coulda fooled me. Damn this guy fell the fuck off. Read this sad account of his in-store performance at one of my favorite NYC record spots.

A few weeks ago this Entertainment Weekly article promised that the new Clipse single “Kinda Like A Big Deal” would be released on Monday March 9. Well as you can see that hasn’t happened yet. What’s the hold up? Well the streets are saying that the song’s guest Kanye West is considering keeping the song for himself to be used as the theme song to sell his new Air Yeezy shoe. Damn ‘Ye how could you be so heartless? Ha!
Sidebar: All may not be lost for the brothers Thornton who I heard recorded a hot collabo with Cam’ron “Mr. Promo” Giles that’s produced by Pharrell.

I wasn’t invited. *Cottonelle to the third eye then wipe slowly*
“Is your hand alright? Did I cut you? ‘Cause I’m so sharp.”
Raekwon attempts to explain why we’re still waiting for Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II and shoots down the previous leaked songs that he says won’t make the cut.
“I had to make it my business to serve appetizers and that’s what they were. Guess people must of thought it was Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II. I’m in the back laughing because I know at the end of the day these are just Jamaican beef patties.”

Their YouTube channel says:
“Swizz comes with his second solo LP with the most Ballerific video shot entirely in Dubai. I’m talking 6 star hotels, Roll Royce EX Drop Head Coupes, Sand, Gold Faucets & More.”
Can’t wait.

There’s nothin’ more entertaining than watching Jim Jones bark on someone. Especially when it’s not you. Ha!
Props: Nah Right Lite who got it from TheRawReportDVD.
Also in case you ain’t heard the Jim Jones play is back and is open to the general public for a five day run starting March 24. Go to TicketMaster and handle your biz. I saw it and enjoyed it and I’m not just saying that ’cause I don’t wanna get barked on. Double Ha!

I try to tell these Rosenthal characters I’m not an actor. But they keep involving me in their hillarious sketches. Peep our history after the jump.
Looks like The-Dream finally let ole girl leave the hotel. I can’t front no disrespect but I’m not feelin’ ole girl’s new look either.

I co-hosted Green Lantern’s Shade 45 show Monday night and the above video is The-Dream singin’ off the head to some classic Biggie beats. It was quite impressive to watch in person. This is different footage than my man Green Lantern‘s man mistakenly sent out and was picked up by the homies at 2DopeBoyz and Mr. X yesterday.
Now I gotta get Green to give up that Reflection Eternal and Jean Grae freestyle footage and audio.
Apparently as the lastest Pimpin’ Curly video forewarned, 50 didn’t take too kindly to Ross’ greasy talk on the Funk Flex show. So what does the walking powder keg gon’ ahead and do
Ok I can’t get confirmation from the big homie but I heard from a reliable source that Brandy is now signed to Hov’s new Roc Nation label. Plus Jay and his partner in big deal making John Meneilly are also gonna assume management duties. YN expects a perturbed text from SC in 5… 4… 3… 2…
Bonus Throwback:
Young H.O. co-signing a Young Brandy. It was written. Ha!

In the second part of our convo, Ahmir breaks down who are the current 7 members of the band (My man with the chewstick retired), how the TV show actually has made them record more music together and whether or not the Philly cat is ready to lay his head in Harlem or Brooklyn.
“The whole thing came together when they decided to reconcile shortly after the attack. Sources tell us music producer Polow Da Don convinced both Chris and Rihanna to get in the studio and record a love song stat, stressing that timing was important because the heightened emotions would translate powerfully into the music.
Both Rihanna and Chris agreed and snuck in a couple of “late night” sessions that we’re told were “very, very emotional … the feeling in the room was pure love.”
The whole thing gets more sickening every day. Your man’s an opportunist.
