You know YN had to have some flip cam of his new favorite single. I personally prefer the studio version but hey, why nitpick. You did it Ahmir! Persistence overcomes resistance. Ha!

It seems like The Birthday Sex kid’s buzz has come and gone. Get it? Nevermind. Lil J appears destined for a one hit wonder legacy. ‘Member that song by who… I don’t have exact SoundScan numbers, but as far as I know he’s not exactly burnin’ up the charts. I haven’t listened to his album and I can’t get anyone on the RR staff to, so I’ll reserve final judgment until then. Still, it’s not lookin’ good for dude. Bet you Terius Hagert is a happy fuck. Milian and all. Ha!

Little Brother x Just Blaze (Live in the Chi)

A week ago in the Windy City there was a Red Bull Big Tune Beat Battle (yeah I don’t know what that is either?) and it basically gave Just Blaze a chance for a free trip OT to cop some more Polo. Still, later at the Metro, he found time to throw down at the 4:30 mark with one of my favorite groups, Little Brother. Yeah, that’s my tongue planted firmly in cheek.

Lil Wayne Praises His Young Money Crew

Seriously, who can keep up with all the fools in Weezy’s army. There’s the Drake and that hot girl that got the Internets in a frenzy. That’s it, that’s all, single, no more, no less. Ha! Have you even met Sylvia Rhone? Smh.

Seriously: Just a lil tough love from the old grumpy guy. Prove YN wrong, kids. I look forward to the comp in November. A lil’ greasy talk just might make your shit tighter.

Endless crazy Wu stories from the Chef. Sorry, I missed the event last night, but the rain had me shook. I’m sure some video will pop, up but Ming Tzu recorded the entire audio. He’s a great Asian man.
