Here’s a premature taste of the next single from Lil Wayne and his crew. B Dot can hate all he wants but this is could be big. Big like “Every Girl” big. Just watch. Sidebar: Here’s original version of song courtesy of the NMC. Thank God, they made a change. Lloyd > Omarion. Pre-Lamar, he couldn’t even bag a Kardashian. Loser! Bonus: 2DB got Mo’ Young Money, if you’re so inclined. Hey, KC, we need that full “Bedrock” CDQ ASAP. […]

This broke Sunday night but now with no DJ. A lil smooth murder music for your Tuesday morning. Guess Dre found time to mix this one. Hey sounds a lil “Hurry Up This Way Again” to me. But what’d I know. It most certainly ain’t this. Props: X Previously: 50 Cent “Dreamin’ (Radio Rip)” Update: That was clean. Let’s get dirty!

Prison? College? Yup Algernod’s blood has done it all. And now that’s he’s finally touched the town, Gates played a big role in picking the songs for the upcoming Goon Affiliated album. Leave it to Angela Yee to get these guys to give up the goods. More info can be found here. Props: Team Yee

What in the B.o.B. Bobby Ray bullshit is this? AHH broke the news yesterday that Killer Mike has decided to remix his rap moniker. “I’m going with the name Mike Bigga because I really feel like I’m bigger than what I have been in the past and I’ve managed to get legendary status from being a raw rap guy in terms of being able to come out of the shadows of the hardships I’ve had,” the entertainer said as he […]

Before the big stage reunion on Saturday night, the four man crew kicked it with my light-skinned brother Drama. Miss Info has the clips too because Tyree just can’t choose who his favorite is. You’d think the cat who gave him an XXL blog back in the days would have an advantage. But hey, I’m a lil’ cranky. It’s dinnertime! More after the jump. Sidebar: Peep Mr. Garland‘s work

Who runs this town? As promised: New material from BK’s hard rock. Turn that sumabitch computer sideways if you wanna peep the tracklist. Or just download the whole thing here and enjoy the ride. Rap’s other light-skinned Jermaine, FTW! Spotted: Shake via Radio Planet Previously: New Music: Maino x Lloyd Banks “Bandana”

Truthfully: I found out about this “Run It” reunion months ago and was actually asked my opinion if this was a good look for ‘Elz’s return single givin’ the hot water Fuck Boy Brown was in. Well since that time, Joyce’s baby boy’s apologized, brought his bowtie-wearin’ ass to Larry King, picked up some garbage and is already promoting his upcoming Swizz Beatz-produced “Transformers” single with Lil Wayne. So I guess you can say the coast is clear now to […]

Ok the homies at Grand Good definitely get a late pass, but this footage from Raekwon’s release party two weeks ago is too good to pass up. Lord knows I wasn’t gettin’ up front with all the young hooligans that night. You’re a brave man, Ming Tzu. Spotted: Please Don’t Stare

She’s only 15! Hand me my late pass if you must, but I never saw this footage of a Barbadian teenager singing one of Mimi’s big hits at some sort of school talent show. Who knew this young lady would grow up to be part of one of the biggest scandals in America and, oh yeah, run this town. Ha! Keep ya head up, Ri-Ri. The Double R gotcha back. Note: Video cuts off before end. It ain’t my fault. […]

Can you believe it? Em’s ex new CD finally drops in eight days. Leave it up to LowKey (the only good thing about BET) to get his hands on an early offering. Written by the Umbrella men, Tricky Stewart and The-Dream, this shit sounds real Mr. Nash if you ask me. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing. On second thought, I’ll pass.
