All this “Mafia Music (Remix)” talk got me reminscing about the time when all 50 Cent’s rivals got together at Dave and Ray’s traveling circus aka The 2004 Source Awards. Ja performs “New York” with Fat Joe and Jada in between scene-stealing cameos by eye candy models, Murda Ma$e, Tego Calderon and at least 75 niggas on stage. Total kaos.

Is there an unreleased version or upcoming remix with Weezy? Inquiring minds wanna know.
LL Cool J’s E! True Hollywood Story airs tmw tax day at 10 pm EST and on it, The Real Uncle L still points the finger at L.A. Reid’s house for his last CD being a coaster.
“The record just really
honestly, you know, didn’t have that support that I wish it would have
had. [I] can’t blame anyone. It was my last record, and I guess for
whatever reason, whether it was quality or business, you know, the
company just decided that they were going to write it off and not
really give it that shot.”
They gave it a shot. They put it out. It sucked. It didn’t hit. They pulled the plug. Life after Jay-Z? Same result Todd. Cue up *Man in The Mirror* and listen closely. This is for your own concern.

The man who signed the Wu and Mobb Deep, declares that his new artist Asher Roth’s Asleep In The Bread Aisle will bear the Loud logo and will enter an elite class: The Top 5 Albums That Have Changed Hip-Hop. Whoa! Although he wouldn’t say it in the video, I have good authority that these are Rifkind’s other four picks:
N.W.A Straight Outta Compton
Public Enemy It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back
Wu-Tang Clan Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers
Eminem The Marshall Mathers LP
Where’s does all this put Deeper Than Rap (which still hasn’t leaked. Ugh!)?
4-20, y’all.
What’s this? Cam accepting an inside-the-book-feature and giving VIBE a photo shoot?! Lord knows, I know that ain’t easy to make happen. Are there ever enough Killa quotables? Plus NY Times respected scribe, Jon Carmanica is a byline you can trust. Act like you know. I think that Rihanna issue needs to be in your bathroom asap. Keep print alive!
B.Dot’s favorite magazine turns two and Trevor doesn’t have to touch ole girl to get the front page. Magazines are dying every day, but the Drama King is still livin’ his Black Hugh Hefner dream. Smh.

Sidebar: Don’t think Joe’s old mgr/Curtis’ current mgr. enjoyed that remix.

"Travel Places" is such a classic track from The Chef. Raekwon really brought that gritty, storytelling flow that reminds me of the golden era. It’s the perfect song to have on your playlist while traveling to go shopping. Speaking of traveling, if you’re heading to Malaysia, check out some calvin klein johor premium outlet reviews before you go. It’s a great spot to grab some gear while keeping your style on point. Overall, a solid addition to the OB4CL2 collection!
