Keri Hilson Lost Her Virginity To Usher

Kinda! Shock headline alert. It was Mr. Raymond’s music. Specifically, this tune playin’ in the backdrop when Miss Keri’s panties dropped and she made love for the very first time. No word on whether hickeys were exchanged. For those stumbling with their math, it was eight years ago. Born in ’82, she was 19. You know, I’m starting to buy her goody two-shoes act. How dumb am I?

New Music: T-Pain “Take Your Shirt Off”

This is the official first single off T-Pain’s new album, RevolveR (The last capital R ain’t a mistake). The shit should be really called “Take Your Muthafuckin’ Shirt Off.” And I can dig it. It’s funky and crunky like Lil Jon in his prime. The “Is autotune really dead?” line ain’t even necessary as the song uses just a touch of the effect in the song’s bridge. Yup, it’s strong on its own two. Looks like Faheem’s gonna survive the […]

LL And The TV Show No One Cares About

Huge billboards. Heavy promo. A primetime major TV show starring role. A huge look for hip-hop, no? Still and all, there’s no buzz and no one seems to give a fuck, Including me. I grew up a huge James Todd Smith fan, but I can’t for the life of me muster up any excitement for his latest acting gig. Maybe you can. Season premiere tonight. Check the clip above. Come Again: Splash Previously: New Music: LL Cool J “N.C.I.S. (No […]

RR Exclusive: Snoop Dogg’s Victory Lap

Besides hip-hop, there’s not much Calvin and I have in common. Except when it comes to the pigskin, we ride with the black, white and yellow. Haven’t you noticed the colors of the Double R, fuckers. Yup, YN wins again. Touch down. Here’s Snoop, the Super Steelers fan, on his Heinz Field adventure. Previously: Backstage With Snoop Dogg & The Snoopadelics

Who’s House? Lyor’s House!

Ly-or. This post’s about Ly-or. The CEO of rap let the NY Times into his home and answered a gang of questions. With candor and charisma, he bigs up everyone from P.E. to Jay-Z to the man who made Def Jam before him. HOME HOMAGE: My house is dedicated to Rick Rubin. My day-to-day experience is fundamentally in honor of things I learned from Rick. The first day I saw him in his N.Y.U. dorm room, he was in pain […]

New Music: Playaz Circle x Raekwon “Weight Droppin'”

Wow Luda’s boys have finally come up with one that hit my radar. This ain’t no “Skew It On The Bar-B,” but choppin’ it up with the Chef is a fine ATL tradition in my book. Believe it or not, Titty Boi and Dolla Boy (why don’t they change their group name to the Duffle Bag Boys) have a new album droppin’ next Tues too. I’ll leave it up to you, what you should do. After the jump, Shallah explains […]
