So around 9pm tonight EST, Hot 97’s Funkmaster Flex will play the world premiere of Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 single, “D.O.A.” That stands for Death of Autotune as Kanye teased on MTV awhile back. The song was produced by No ID and Mr. West. On Sunday, it will be sent to the masses. Unless LowKey or Mr. X hit the jackpot. Ha!

Sidebar: Despite various reports, as far as I know Hov will not be at Hot 97 Summer Jam on Sunday. But you never know.

Also on their reporting grind: Herfection who noticed Skee runnin’ his jibs.

Update: Skee’s still snitchin’.

That’s enough for time Mr. Carter to come to his senses. Ha! But then again…

Who can take a rainbow? It’s Tony Yayo!

I got a soft spot for the Talk of New York. Pause. The only member of G Unit I ever met with and listened to their entire album. Ha! Oh yeah, I want a white driver too.

In today’s V60, Mr. Dorsey cosigns that Baby is puttin’ the band back together:

And you’re also working on a Hot Boys reunion, correct?
Yeah, yeah, you can look forward to that coming real soon. Real, real, real soon. We tying up the loose ends of the paperwork right now, and hopefully we’ll have that out this year.

What can you tell me about that?
It’s going to be bigger than The Beatles. It’s going to be bigger than The Beatles. [laughs]

So you’re excited about it?
Most definitely! Because you know, at one point in time, you couldn’t get me to talk about it. I wasn’t open for it, you know what I am saying? But as I grew and then I got older and as I started just understanding life in general, things happen, and things happen for a reason. You know, people go through things, family go through things, but they sit down, talk it over, be real about it, acknowledge their mistakes and move on.

Call me Sam cuz I’m still skeptical.

After a pretty blah interview with The Ruler, in which he bigs up the Rotten Apple, we get a lil’ “La Di Da Di” with some light-skinned dude on the beatbox.

Hey, not everyone’s goin’ through a bitter divorce. The reason why Ms. Cole lets Boobie palm her ass? They’re a couple, damnit! No ring for the Cavs but it looks like duke got the prize.

What’s Poppin’ caught them canoodling. S2S got the scoop. And Necole Bitchie put me on.

 It don’t take a genius to figure out who Miss Rogers is referring to:

 

 
And I call bullshit on those who think she was callin’ Esco a Homo Thug earlier. He’s not the only person she knows.

Um, apparently not. I didn’t even ask for the shit. Don’t put me out there publicly and not deliver. What the fuck is wrong with these kids? 

Don’t be the next contestant on YN’s Blackout screen.

How’s that for a headline? Ha!

Seriously though, Robbie just shared the following jewels from his recent sit-down with GFK for HHC:

Can you tell me about this R & B album? Are there a lot of collaborations?
Ghostface: Like when I did ‘Ice Cream’ and all the stuff like that. Remember ‘Ice Cream’? An album like that. A mixture of things, like you know how I did that Ne-Yo joint and ‘All That I Got Is You’ and stuff like that. It’s my last album [for Def Jam] so I wanted to do the album I always wanted to do, man. You gotta tell the fans that you not gettin’ no younger here – we gettin’ older! And everybody don’t sell crack no more, man. I don’t sell crack, yo. I ain’t movin’ no bricks or none of that other shit. I ain’t shoot nobody in like…since the early 90’s, man. How long you gonna be 40 years old and actin’ like you still sellin’ cracks and you on the block and you doin’ this and you doin’ that when times is more serious, man. We in a fuckin’ recession, B! Ain’t nobody gettin’ no money, man! We gotta stop lyin’ to ourselves and lyin’ to the fans. And the fans gotta stop bein’ so dumb and ignorant, and know it’s time to talk about grown-man situations. Shit that happen in the real life, inside your household, your love life, your personal life, that’s just like, ‘Damn, it’s hard for a nigga to get some money!’ It might be so hard to get some money that your girl might wanna leave you someday because you ain’t get no money like you like you used to be getting’ money! Those are real situations, so I think it should start goin’ back to songs that mean shit. All that other shit outside is just gonna keep us dumb, deaf and blind, yo, and we ain’t never gonna get nowhere.

I Heart Ignorance: UnKut

That’s a good look. Better yet, a hood look Mrs. Carter. Congrats.
