Live Blog: Rick Ross BET Special Tonight 7:30 EST
alt

 

Somebody find Yardie. Remember that much ballyhooed BET Special where Willie The Liar promised he’d explain in more detail how being a CO got him closer to Pablo Escobar? Well, it airs in about two hours.

Hard to get the inside word on what we’re supposed to see, but rumors are runnin’ rampant (I see you Wild Chery. Ha!) that it’s nothing special. Still expect to see my peoples, XXL EIC, Datwon Thomas and radio queenpens, Miss Info and Angela Yee tossin’ in their three cents. I for one, will be watching like Rockwell. Go to hell, haters. 

Maybe I’ll live blog it. Can’t wait to watch Ross’ white lady supervisor share her thoughts. “William was so nice. He used to love pecan pie on his snack breaks.” Ha!

UPDATE:

Big Tigger said the Double R. Ha!

Ross playin’ pool. What jacket is that.

Toure > Big Tigger (No shots) Ha!

Chuck Creekmur and Datwon biggin’ up Hustlin

Info in the house

Ang Yee says Ross crew is thoro

Info on Trilla

CO Time

Dey thought it was photoshop at first

Info shocked by Mafia Music.

Timeline again of 50 beef. Exhausting.

Tigger time.

He’s got cue cards

“That was me in the photos.” Again.

RR Exclusive: Asher Roth “Lion’s Roar” (Live)

I didn’t like this joint when I first heard it, but it’s growin’ on me. Beans came down from Philly, so where the fuck were you at Busta? That nigga usually shows up to any kickball game in the Rotten Apple. Musta been OT.

RR Exclusive: Asher Roth “As I Em” (Live)

Went to see the dude with the #1 album on iTunes last night at NY’s Blender Theater. Missed Roth’s opening act Chester French but I did catch them when they came back out to help Asher deliver his ode to Marshall Mathers. More footage on the way including a surprise appearance of Beanie Sigel who’s clearly on the Mike Tyson diet.

Anybody got some early SoundScan reports?

May 19: A Great Day In Hip-Hop?
alt

Now that we’ve gotten this Ross vs Roth release thing out the way, it’s time to gear up for what could quite possibly be the Greatest Day in Rap History. What you ain’t notice? How everything in the future revolves around the date May 19? If all goes according to plan you’ll have the much heralded return of Eminem. Plus, a post Aftermath Busta Rhymes product. Fat Joe trudges on. DJ Drama shouts out for recognition. And Meth and Red get their rap vet reunion on. We can’t get an official tracklist from anyone, but it looks like most or all of these will actually come out.

You talk about Super Tuesday. 2009 got your fuckin’ Super Tuesday. Plus, T.I. may turn himself in that day. Now that would be something. Are you startin’ to get excited yet? I know I am. Plus, for you pro-Black historians it’s also Malcolm X’s born day. I am YN and RR approves this message: Save your pennies!

Sidebar: No this piece of shit don’t count.

Lil Wayne Declares Lakers NBA Champs

The truest sports commentator with tattoo tears, shares more of his insight on the Wide World of Sports. Sorry Roc Boy, Weezy is ridin’ with KB24.

Just so no one gets it twisted: the Lakers are winning the NBA Finals. Now that KG is out, the C’s aren’t gonna go anywhere, which is a shame. You always like to have the defending champs in there to fight like hell to hold on to their crown. Doc Rivers doesn’t want to believe it. And as competitive as KG is, I can’t imagine even being around him right now — how frustrated he must be because all he wants to do is get out on that court. He’s probably breaking stuff in his house, he’s so mad.

Anyway, so now we’re looking at a Lakers versus Cavaliers final, and that’s going to be amazing. Kobe won’t get the best of LeBron, but the Lakers will get the best of the Cavs. I’ll be rooting for the Lakers, and LeBron already knows that. So it’s not like I’m gonna show up in a Kobe jersey and make ‘Bron Bron cry. He knows I’ve been a Laker fan my whole life so it’s all good. That don’t mean he likes it, but he ain’t gonna cry when he sees me at the games screaming for Pau Gasol and Trevor Ariza.

But LeBron will be OK. He’s gonna win the MVP this year. That will be his consolation prize. Phil Jackson and the Lakers will walk away with more rings, but LeBron will get his trophy.

The problem is the lil’ fucker is prollly right.
