I co-hosted Green Lantern’s Shade 45 show Monday night and the above video is The-Dream singin’ off the head to some classic Biggie beats. It was quite impressive to watch in person. This is different footage than my man Green Lantern‘s man mistakenly sent out and was picked up by the homies at 2DopeBoyz and Mr. X yesterday.

Now I gotta get Green to give up that Reflection Eternal and Jean Grae freestyle footage and audio.

Apparently as the lastest Pimpin’ Curly video forewarned, 50 didn’t take too kindly to Ross’ greasy talk on the Funk Flex show. So what does the walking powder keg gon’ ahead and do

Ok I can’t get confirmation from the big homie but I heard from a reliable source that Brandy is now signed to Hov’s new Roc Nation label. Plus Jay and his partner in big deal making John Meneilly are also gonna assume management duties. YN expects a perturbed text from SC in 5… 4… 3… 2…

Bonus Throwback:

Young H.O. co-signing a Young Brandy. It was written. Ha!

Catch up if you missed Part 1.

On “Official,” you say “Busta is ferocious/I’m flawed and precocious.” Explain that. What do you mean?
Exactly that: I am not perfect.

And what girl told you that?
I know, I know, right? [Laughs] That

Mrs. Carter is preparing for her world tour and ready to drop videos for her next round of singles, “Broken-Hearted Girl” and “Ego.” How come the latter’s remix with Kanye West hasn’t leaked yet?

Props: Rap-Up who got it from EW.

In the second part of our convo, Ahmir breaks down who are the current 7 members of the band (My man with the chewstick retired), how the TV show actually has made them record more music together and whether or not the Philly cat is ready to lay his head in Harlem or Brooklyn.

I broke the audio online yesterday. Here’s the visual. I like the goon in the back with the brown jacket holdin’ him down. You can feel the tension in the air. Ha! Check his face at the 5:22 mark.

“The whole thing came together when they decided to reconcile shortly after the attack. Sources tell us music producer Polow Da Don convinced both Chris and Rihanna to get in the studio and record a love song stat, stressing that timing was important because the heightened emotions would translate powerfully into the music.

Both Rihanna and Chris agreed and snuck in a couple of “late night” sessions that we’re told were “very, very emotional … the feeling in the room was pure love.”

The whole thing gets more sickening every day. Your man’s an opportunist.
