Peeped this morning that Peter Rosenberg let loose the last 3 minutes of his talk with Bun. Well, here’s the final 10 mins. In the first clip, Bun tells the story once again of how “Big Pimpin’” came to be in more detail than I ever heard before and, after the jump, he speaks on his upcoming collabo with Nas and Preemo. As you’ll see at the end, it’s whole career is dedicated to his partner Pimp C. Real niggaz […]

Yellow Scorsese is back with more dopeness from the Smoking Section/Nah Right showcase in Austin. Here’s Gangsta Gibbs givin’ it up to some legends who inspired him in their hometown. Up top, he tackles a Geto Boys classic and, on the other side, he dedicates his “Iodine Poison” to Pimp C. So so trill.

[vodpod id=Video.3303254&w=425&h=350&fv=] Red Cafe and Fab get their Fast And The Furious on through the mean streets of New York. The real question is what took so long for this video to drop?. Oh well, better late than never. WSHH

According to what Pill says on stage, this is the first time he and Freddie Gibbs performed “Do Wrong” at the URB showcase in Austin. After the jump, the dynamic duo drop “Run Up To Me”. They make a good combination, don’t they?

Another funny XXL Freshmen with the ladies on his mind, Pill provided me with a quick talk outside the Nah Right/TSS showcase. He speaks on his close relationship with Freddie Gibbs, his hometown barbecue cover celebration and the possibility of DJ Drama crafting the next mixtape, 1140: The Overdose. And like that… I’m gone. Ha. Previously: “Thoughts”

Not all interviews are formal. And you know, YN got that thing on him (Flip cam, son). With Kidz In The Hall providing a cosign, here’s one XXL Freshmen who’s ready to sow his royal oats. Ladies get ready for that Fashionably Late. You are appreciated.

Yela explains why he deaded his original idea to follow-up his Trunk Muzik mixtape so quickly. Look out for the TM re-release 0 to 60. And then, major label deal on deck? Hmm.

Minutes before touching the stage together for the first time in seven years, YN crashed Paul and Koopa’s tour bus to chop it up with the Texans. Thanks for the southern hospitality, fellas. Allready. Previously: Mel D. Cole Reunion Flicks

No Hi-Tek or Bun but Reflection Eternal’s MC performed two bangers off the upcoming Revolutions Per Minute at a Digiwax showcase in Austin. Awesome. Sidebar: I’m back on my postin’ SXSW videos shit with no watermark (Sorry B.Dot). Please credit the Double R if applicable. Ha. Previously: “Strangers” video

L to R: Big Boi, Rap Radar Founder Elliott “YN” Wilson, Jay Electronica Thanks to everyone who came out to last night’s celebration at Greenhouse. I’m still hungover. How ’bout you? Props to Alvon, Karin, and my wife Danyel for puttin’ the damn thing together, DJs Jazzy Jeff and Soul, and, of course, Paul R. We’ve just begun. It’s too late to hate. But you can do it anyway. Ha.

Before touchin’ the stage at the Respect The West showcase, Jay took a moment to holla at his yellow brother in a dark corner. He addresses all the attention he’s gotten from his quarrel with Ice Cube and plugs the mixtape that just dropped a few hours ago. Timing!

Good times on Saturday night at the Cashmere Agency and Stampede Management Cali invasion at Austin’s Club de Ville. I was drunk on stage and somewhere Mel D. Cole was still flickin’ away. Nice!

A tribute to Bun B in Texas? Now that’s a good idea. Before taking their stroll down memory lane, Mr. Port Arthur and the other Jewish cat in rap named Rosenberg took the time to give me a preview to the proceedings that went down last Thursday. It ended up being a pretty good interview and I got it all on tape. Hmm.

Photos: Village Slum One of the strangest but still entertaining events down in Austin was an all-Memphis acts showcase at a club called Barbarella. It was an almost all-rock show that was headlined by a coupla hip-hop legends. Guess who? Ha. And guess what, the crowd loved it. Mel captured the madness.

From Friday night’s show at the Mohawk Patio, here’s another new one from the ATL Brave’s upcoming Fashionably Late mixtape. I can dig it.

Photos: Village Slum After seven long years, Paul and Koopa joined forces at the La Zona Rosta last Wednesday. Crazy show from which I got plenty of video on the way from but for now let’s let Mel’s images tell the story.

If you’re still sleepin’ on Yela like I was two weeks ago, I suggest you wake up. Ha. Got a full three-part interview with dude on the way, but in the meantime, he speaks on the upcoming visual behind his next release off Trunk Muzik. Let’s see if Rap Radar really ends up with that exclusive.

Mr. Village Slum Mel D. Cole agreed to shoot some RR exclusive flicks during his time down south. One of the many events covered occured on Friday night at the Scoot Inn where the lil’ underground rap label that could celebrated their 15th year in the game. Witness the festivity through Mel’s eyes. He’s a bad muthafucka.

A year ago, Gangsta Gibbs was in the clink. Last week, he was one of the biggest MCs in demand during my time in Austin mobbin’ with the homie Mel D. Cole. Here backstage at Urb’s South by South showcase at the Light Bar, Gary Indiana’s finest speaks on his progress, the Jay Rock-Ice Cube disagreement, and his love for Scarface.

Damn, haven’t done one of these in dumb long. Oh well, we’re back, baby.
