The Clipse Freestyle (Hiro Ballroom)

So here’s another rumor that went down while I was trying to grab some shut eye. At last night’s show in the NYC, Pusha T dissed Jay-Z as evidenced by the bars he spit above? Once agin, Minya Oh clears up the madness. The verse is actually from “Big Dreams” off the last mixtape the VA duo dropped. So if it’s a shot, it’s an old shot, big shot. Ha!

Amber Rose Stands By Her Man

Over night, a terrible and false rumor was started that Kanye West died in a car accident. It’s completely untrue and his ladyfriend took to Twitter (where RIP Kanye West is still a trending topic) to clear up the madness. The Taylor Swift thing was wrong but it’s amazing how much heat this guy still has on him. So much for a post-racial America. Spotted: Miss Info

Update: Shyne Will Be Deported

Miss Info got the scoop from Angie Martinez, a good friend of Po’s who visited him often in prison, and it looks he will indeed be sent back to Belize. Shyne’s team is fighting to stay in the US where his mother and his grandmother live and where they raised him….but it seems like he’s going to have to continue the fight from Belize. Shyne will be released from Immigration custody but will then be deported to Belize soon. He […]

New Music: Z-Ro “Doin’ Just Fine”

“Heavy like a ’57 Chevy.” Mo Garland. He went and put me on. This new Z-Ro is kinda tough. I contend not enough of my fellow sites out here show love to the homies down below. East Coast bias? Yeah, we off that! A lil’ country hip-hop never hurt nobody. Ride out! Props: Blogger Noz

New Music: Young Money “Thinking To Myself”

Here’s another one floating around the Internets from Weezy’s studio. A snippet of this leaked this past Spring. Sound quality is YouTube-ish, but I can still hear hit potential. Watch Birdman make the YM bunch do this one over. Truthfully: I’m quietly hoping the only album Mr. Carter puts out this year is one with his eclectic bunch. Ha! Props: Sermon

Ursalena > Cosnarati

Sorry William, but I couldn’t get through listening to your new shit. I tried. Good intentions. Bad music. Really bad. Joe Jackson bad! Still, you’re more hip-hop than you probably know. I’ll always rock with you Cos for this one. Everybody sing along! Sidebar: For the lost disco kids.

New Music: Young Jeezy “Trap Or Die 2”

Kinda tough competing with Gucci Mania, but I say Jeezy is still doin’ his thing. Here’s the song he debuted at that party a week or so ago in full. In case you ain’t know by now, trappin’ ain’t dead. Got it? Finally? Good! Props: UHTN Bonus: Don’t know where you’re goin’, if you don’t know where you’ve been.

Russell Simmons Pays Tribute To Jay-Z

Pardon Uncle Russy’s tardiness, but I gather Hov reaching his 11th #1 album has finally impacted him. Now this what the fuck I call a delayed reaction. Here’s a sample of his new GG blog: Looking back at his amazing career, it suddenly dawned on me, that in a hundred years from now, we’re gonna be talking about Jay-Z.  When we think of hip-hop, we will think of Jay. But what is even more important than his album sales, is […]

New Music: Rihanna “Russian Roulette”

“So just pull the trigger.” Barbed wire across the boobs? Ouch! As far as the music goes, a lot of bass, sultry, theatric… Ok, I’m wit it. But then again, I already got my Team Ri Ri jersey on. Ha! Props: Mr. X Bonus: Splash got the instrumental. Think you can sing better, songbird? Knock yourself out!
