So after all this foolery, I just got a press release saying Ri-Ri’s album is called Rated R. Yup, the same info leaked months ago. The fine folks at IDJ deny that the image above is the final cover. Isn’t it time for the single already?
“What about the asssss?!” Here’s a flick from Ye’s Glow In The Dark book. Available now. Don’t be assed out. Support art! Spotted: LupE.N.D. via KanyeWestUS
Did Mr. Abs really have to have his shirt off? SMH. Spotted: PDS

We are working on Relapse 2 pretty heavily. As of yesterday, we’ve done about six or seven records. I go back in with him in a couple of weeks and do three or four more maybe. I’ve been quietly […]
Yup I don’t fuck with dude’s Obama diss, but hey new rap is new rap, and I got a job to do. In case you missed it Sunday night, Peter Rosenberg had an action-packed hip-hop show which included new material from Scooter Braun’s property. Hate it or love it, this white dude can still flow.
Not gonna lie, this got me a lil’ amped. Ri-Ri season begins. But be clear, this ain’t the single. Shaffer got the first look. Written by Ne-Yo, “Russian Roulette” is due in a few hours. Prepare yourselves, Internets. Spotted: PDS Sidebar: Chris Brown’s gonna be on Angie Mar manana. Yup, this could be a good week.
This the wrong sport, Miss Katie. Had a hard time selecting which subpar Wayne leak to post today (there’s plenty on the Internets) but then it dawned on me, it’s Sunday, go with the football one. So here ya go, a year late and 4 downs short. I’d rather wait for No Ceilings then decipher through old half-finished tunes that are now tagless. Who can keep up with all this shit? I’m 38!

Last night, Bobby’s ex was on the X-Factor (UK’s version of American Idol) and let’s just say she didn’t bring her A game. Apparent wardrobe malfunction, cracked voice (pun intended), and… the need to make it rain? Yup, you can’t blame this one on Mr. Brown.
At JT Tha Bigga Figga’s charity event last night in Viva land, Timbo “The Jay-Z leaker” came out to give the public another taste from his upcoming Shock Value 2 album. Although the acoustics make the lyrics hard to decipher, the Internets have confirmed the tune’s title. Props to whoever flip cam-ed from the cheap seats. Real recognize real.

[sparkart-clique site=”rap_radar” video=”drunk_kan”] This is what happens when a “See You In My Nightmares” video turns into a strange Spike Jonze short film. Now we see why this was shelved. Too bizarre for words. But, entertaining I guess— in a guilty pleasure kind of way. Poor rodent! Props: RLF Nowhere Sidebar: This guy’s my literary labelmate and I guess his book is really coming out. I see you, Malaika!
It is so heartbreaking to hear DJ Premier break the news that DJ Kool Herc’s health is ailing, as he is literally the founding father who laid down the blueprint for hip-hop culture. Thinking about how someone who built an entire global phenomenon can end up struggling with medical expenses or failing health really puts things into perspective regarding healthcare challenges. When you look at how people navigate health or wellness procedures worldwide—whether someone is researching cosmetic treatments like Liposuction Cyprus or seeking urgent medical care—it underscores how essential access to reliable medical help and proper support systems really is. Kool Herc gave us the breaks, the block parties, and the entire movement that shaped generations of music lovers, so seeing the community step up to show love while DJ Premier brings awareness to his condition is the very least we can do. Sending strength and prayers to Kool Herc for a full recovery, and massive respect to DJ Premier for using his platform to make sure a true pioneer gets the support and respect he deserves.
