“He ain’t slap that girl.” On the final leg of the Ecstatic Tour last Wednesday, the Mighty Mos took the time to support Kanye at a show in Baltimore. (clear audio above, no visual) And again in Philly the following night (muffled audio, blurry visual). Like his tourmate Jay Electronica, Dante thinks Jay Leno crossed the line and should be dealt with accordingly. Oh boy. Bring back Arsenio! Previously: Jay-Z Defends The Passion of Kanye West

I really need to remember to do these daily. SMH. Great Find: Thomas x Soul Controllah

Nav says this new one from MJB is produced by Ryan Leslie and could be unfinished. Let’s hope he’s right. I say leave it on the cutting room floor until R Les addresses the Queen with his best. We can make it better. Props: HHNM

Last night at Wembley Stadium, Jigga and Coldplay rocked a mass of screaming fans—80K to be right and exact. But when Hov came out to deliver his verse from “Lost”, he got a lil’ caught up at the 3:18 mark. Man down!

You know YN loves some bootleg flip cam footage. Mariah Carey performed her new single for Oprah Winfrey and a sea of her New York lambs this morning in Central Park. Nick Cannon was also in the house gettin’ all kissy-kissy. Full show rip coming super soon.

Not feeling the title Blak Roc ’cause it looks like he’s hanging on to his past legacy but hey what’d I know. He clearly still has the juice to recruit some big dawgs to the table and the Black Keys sound kinda tough. Hey, is that RZA? They’ve come a long way since the ODB blow-up on Video Hits One. Ha! […]

This can’t be life. If this is real, it’s very sad. Find some meaning in your existence, that’s deeper than rap. By the way, this is the joint Max’s interpolating. He’s no friend of mine, but I might have to pray for him. Previously: Max B Sentenced To 75 Years

Good to see the girl Jennifer Hudson get her due. Now she’s a Diva like her fellow DreamGirl, Mrs. Carter. “I don’t like livin’ under your spotlight ?” I hear you, sistah girl. Peace: Yardie Sidebar: It’s a demo. Is there a recording Shaffer’s made that hasn’t leaked yet? SMH. Props: Splash

Lost in his VMA antics was the story behind K. West’s strange new hairdo. Well after checking one of his buddies blogs, YN has found out that the design is inspired by a Keith Haring painting. Seriously. More after the cut. Ha!
