“Get that nigga 50. Get ’em!”
At a recent show in front of his neighbors (Peace, Connecticut!), Curtis climbs up a big-ass speaker to show off his new sneakers. How dare Rick Ross say he can’t dress? Um… Anyway, he then proceeds with what I need—one of my favorite tunes from the Get Rich soundtrack.
Bonus: Who can forget M-A-Dollar Sign-E and his $75 milkshake? Ha!
Peace: Forbez DVD
NMC leaked an early version of this, then B.Dot hipped you to the presence of Tony Starks and now comes the final version.
“My clientele is supreme and it’s proven/ That I’m only built for the link if it’s Cuban.”
I love the Wu, but Yonkers got this one.

This is the illest shit I’ve seen in a long time. A pistol-packed USB of an undisputed rap classic. Today’s record companies need to take heed. If you put together some product like this maybe you’d be able to sell some shit.
Order it now! Dusty Groove
Thanks EMZ for the hook-up and Traffic Ent. for the dopeness.
No surprise. Charles Hamilton is highly irritated about accusations that he stole the track to his song “Shinin.” Peep some of what he said on his blog and if you still don’t believe him he’ll send you the Pro Tools session. Lord knows, I got it.
“My song, “Shinin” was recorded November 18th 2006. At the end of the song I say, “Yung Nate. Nigga your birthday coming up. You ain’t that young.”
Nate’s birthday was November 23rd.
He graduated FDA in 2006. And still came back to the studio. Just like me.
But Yung Nate NOR “Black Spade” is Charles Hamilton.
“Black Spade” said he put his version of the song on MySpace in 2007.
I just showed y’all dates, and I have witnesses.
ON TOP of having beat files.
E-Rich, on some G sh1t, I probably should post the Fruity Loops file. And the ProTools session. And let the world see how “G” I am. But that’s giving this no name n1gga WAY too much attention.
And even realer than that, if I jacked your beat, and PERFORMED IT IN FRONT OF YOU, I should be blogging about my bruises, right?
F*ck outta here.”
Rihanna call this lil nigga back already. He needs a hug. Ha!
T-Pain returned to Lil Wayne’s I Am Music tour on Sunday and admitted rumors of his golf cart accident were true.
“There’s a lot of talk that I flipped over in a golf cart,” he told the audience. “That’s f***ing true.”
“It did happen like three days ago,” he went on to say. “My ass is on fire right now. My side hurt, my mouth hurt.”
“I bust my ass. I’d show you the marks, but I don’t wanna pull my pants down right now.”
“I got my teeth fixed the same day. Rich ni**a teeth.”
“If I was any less of a showman tonight, I apologize.”

One Auto-Tune singer don’t stop no show however, Lil’ Kim spent the weekend shootin’ her video “Download” without him. Check out her feign concern after the jump.

If you don’t know who Bill Withers is then go do your research. OK I’ll help you a lil’ bit. Dude is one of my favorite musicians of all-time so needless to say I’m amped about this upcoming documentary on him. Apparently, it debuted out in Austin during SXSW but I missed it. Where the fuck I was at? I lost!

Don’t think there’s ever been so much female rap royalty in one place. Missy, Lil Kim, Yo-Yo, Rage, MC Lyte all pay respect to her royal highness at her born day bash last night. Look at Ms. Whitaker gettin’ her hostess on—that’s my Miss Rap Supreme. Ha!
Thanks to producers Cool and Dre’s twitter for the tip. Ha!
On the hunt for good performance footage and will add when I find it.

Friday night, Keri Hilson was on Jimmy Kimmel and she brought her lil ass-slappin’ buddy, Lil Wayne a.k.a. the #1 rapper in the game. Hey, I’m just statin’ facts I didn’t put him there. Anyway, watch the king of Late Night bust out Birdman Jr. for his raunchy lyrics. Who knows what Wayne ever says, right?
As you can see, this is the debut of the RR TV Tuner cards. That’s right, Rip Game Proper (Telemundo Style). Step to the rear, Mr. World Premiere. Ha! I’m just jokin’. Jokes! No shots as you kids say.

No rappers were harmed in the shooting of this photo.
Fall Out Boy got down with a trio of rappers—Joe Budden, Murs, 88-Keys—for a remix to their song “America’s Suitehearts”. Even tho this is hip-hop related, I wouldn’t even post this song if it wasn’t sent to me by the Brothers Rosenthal. Looks like these two young Jews have entered the bootleg business. Congrats, guys. Moonshine!

This is a great reminder of how powerful and lasting Lauryn Hill’s influence has been in music. The fact that The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill eventually reached diamond status after so many years shows that truly meaningful music can continue finding new listeners long after its original release. I also like how the article highlights the combination of hip hop, R&B, neo soul, and reggae that made the album so distinctive. Achieving more than 10 million sales is an incredible milestone, especially considering how much the music industry has changed since 1998. The album’s success feels less like a temporary trend and more like proof that strong songwriting and authentic artistic expression can remain relevant across generations. It is interesting to see how numbers can tell part of a story, whether we are looking at album sales or using a proportion calculator to understand relationships between different figures.
