The real treat according to numerous onlookers was the ambiance, which included Rosa Acosta dressed as a cheerleader. I’d hunt for some flicks but I’m a married man. No can do. You lose.

Somebody call Tina Turner! It looks like Bernard had a change of heart. When pressed by Angie Mar this afternoon about his status with Shallah, Mouse seemed ready to move on.
Joe: “I think we’re already there. I’m not saying me and him in particular but, the people who need to speak to each other are definitely speaking to each other.”
I don’t know if I buy a peace treaty just yet. Remember: Real niggas square dance in silence.

The Bad Azz got nothin’ but love for Da Snowman.
“Jeezy is my homie,” Boosie told us on the Baton Rouge, Louisiana, set of his new “Better Believe It” video. “If we wasn’t rapping, we’d still be click-clackin’. I wanted to get on that album bad. Jeezy put me on that Recession album. I owe him for that. Whatever he needs, I got him. Jeezy, I’m trying to get him to do a mixtape with me right now.”
Now that’s a mixtape I’d pay for! No shots, Nipsey.

Why was the Andy Kaufman of rap, rockin’ a sling at last night’s Slaughterhouse album release party in the Big Apple? Guess he really caught that punch on his shoulder. Get well soon, Mouse.

Ever since Marshall OD’d on “The Warning,” Nick Cannon’s boo has been awfully quiet. Apparently, she’s cancelled all promo for her upcoming album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel and we’re not even sure when it’s gonna be released anymore. Shit, I like “Obsessed” but there’s been reports that radio wasn’t receptive enough, so they were gonna go with another song called “100%.” But after DJ Envy leaked it, they quickly pulled the plug on that too. Sounds like no one can make a decision at Antonio’s house. And I heard MC’s appearance on her hubby’s TV show was pre-taped. Meaning we ain’t even really seen ole girl since Marshall laid the lyrical smackdown. C’mon Carey, let’s go!

Just is the best!
Shock headline above. The real deal is that my buddy Justin usually stays up all night at Baseline Studios and makes beats to the point of exhaustion. Delirious this morning, he created two free beats that he sent through Twitter to his fanatic stans who have MC dreams. This one’s my pick, produced by Just and he spits on it too.
I’m tellin’ you I hear the foundation of a Last Train To Paris song here. Get Sean on the phone!

EW (No YN) is debutin’ rap videos now? What part of the game is this? SMH.
Watch EW’s exclusive premiere of the video for the track “Hey Playa (Moroccan Blues),” shot in Los Angeles and the Adelanto desert. Believe it or not, both the music and video was actually inspired by a recent trip the Travel Channel’s Bizarre Foods host Andrew Zimmern took to Morocco.
“When he [Zimmern] went to a restaurant,” says Quik. “There was a man playing music, the house musician. He had this little stringed instrument and was strumming it so in-tune with the environment — it was crazy. So I sampled it and put a beat to it and later, Andrew even liked it and let me put it in our music.”

I challenge that nigga to put a shirt on. Ha!
