[vodpod id=Video.4045550&w=425&h=350&fv=] In The-Dream’s first TV appearance since his separation became public, he appeared on late night with Jimmy Fallon yesterday. Besides rockin’ his own hits, he sat in with the Roots and, in the above clip, he gives a taste of the record he wrote for Mrs. Carter. Irony for $100, Alex? ru

Here’s a shot from the actual video courtesy of Mr. Dean. Drizzy speaks to MTV from behind the scenes here. No Paris. No problem. Ha. h.e.r. Previously: On The Set: Drake “Fancy”

Looks like Rozay’s release isn’t the only thing goin’ down in three days. Sorry Paul. RD

The homie from Exclusive Access crashed the party yesterday at Drake’s second video shoot in the ATL. No shots from the actual video yet, just some behind the scenes of the other main principals on the other side. I promise you pervs, I won’t rest til I get  your Paris Morton shot. Ha!

Two nights ago , Yela and Blink 182’s drummer made some beautiful music together at the Roxy in Hollywood. Enjoy and don’t forget to check out those FMS shoes.

Well this is timely. For the first single off his upcoming DJ Skee mixtape, Brake Lights, Game references Miami’s Big 3, guns, his Blood affiliation and adds a couple of name drops to boot. Too bad Chuck sounds like he’s got a cold.

XXL put together an excellent tribute to the memory of Trouble T-Roy on the 20th year of his passing. The Heavy D & The Boyz dancer died in a tragic freak accident while out on tour. After the jump, CL Smooth who wrote a classic hip-hop record in his honor (“They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)”) talks in great detail about one of the song’s lyrics. Still wishing Troy Dixon a peaceful journey.

Drizzy’s in the ATL for the next few days workin’ on some TML visuals. Yes, Kore Magazine bumrushed the set but as you can see, our shot above is a lil’ more explosive. Ha! Tomorrow the “Fancy” shoot goes down featuring the lovely and talented Paris Morton. I know y’all want a picture of that. UPDATE: Mo’ fire.

And the band replayed on.

We’re one week away and here’s Teflon Don‘s most controversial tune. Y’all need to be here in 7 days.

Looks like this hasn’t leaked yet so fuck it, I’m at Def Jam. I need to hear this. Let’s go! I’m Not A Star He got a pistol in the car. Remember him like John Lennon? Woah. Dan Marino line. Justice League on the track. Hook is just the title. Fuckin’ bitches like he’s T.O. Big bounce on this. Free Mason Think Gabe T’s speakers are blown out from too much rap. Ha! Y’all know this one. Bitch, I said […]

With Banks up and runnin’, it’s now Yayo time. Here’s an early look at the upcoming visual to his first single. Damn, I wish they woulda pushed that “Obama” joint. That was my shit! Oh well, I guess I’ll get a laugh out of Curtis gettin’ his Max Headroom on instead. thisis50

Fuck a flower pot, this is real hip-hop! That’s why we had to share. But be clear: No more posts from War Report 2 after this. Handle your business in four days. Tell ’em Yellow Nigga sent you. NR

Da Snowman gets a lil help from Mr. Memphis on this touch-up of TM103‘s current single. Yeah, this “White” thing is alright but let’s just hope the album really drops on Aug 31. No more white lies. Dre

So LowKey’s spot posted a rumored tracklist from Kanye’s upcoming, tentatively-titled Good Ass Job. I dismissed it at first because obviously with a Sept 14. release, he’s got plenty of time to change things. Still after speaking to several sources it’s became clear that the titles listed were pretty much acccurate. Then the above image started floatin’ around the Internets which indicates to me that ‘Ye sent video director Hype Williams an early version of his album and now it […]

You know Flex dropped a bomb to that (several in fact) new Joe Crack featuring Rico Love on the hook and the perennial production of Scoop Deville. Word to Flash Gordon, he shredded that PE classic. Study your lessons below. Blow the whistle! Miss Info Sidebar: Throwback classic!

Music took a loss today with the passing of singer/record producer Harvey Fuqua at the age of 80. A member of 50’s Doo-Wop group, The Moonglows (Rock and Roll Half Of Fame induction up top), he also served as an early mentor to Marvin Gaye. Mr. Fuqua’s legacy is wide reaching but lost in the mainstream coverage so far, is that he conceived one of my favorite bands, New Birth. For that alone, he’s the muthafuckin’ man. Fellas and ladies, […]

Hey havin’ a number one album two weeks in a row isn’t as easy as it looks nowadays. Props to Marshall. And oh yeah, get that TML if you haven’t already. Stop playin’. Y’all get so much shit for free. Support our culture.

Word on the curb is that there’s an “STP” superstar remix on the horizon and this is Clifford’s contribution. It’s damn near impossible to stop premature leaks nowadays. Y’all rap niggas need to watch them niggas that’s close to you. X
