In honor of the BP3 Tour’s return to the Big Apple, Jeezy and Jay added one more of their collabos to the setlist. Despite a mic problem in the beginning, Shawn put on for his city and even tipped his Yankee cap to the crowd. Hustler etiquette.

Despite Guru’s current condition, he was able to issue the following statement today: “I am doing fine and I am recovering! I’m weak though. Solar is the only person who has the accurate info on my situation. Any info from anybody else is false! I appreciate your well wishes and all the love!” Solar’s the new Monica. Ha. Get well soon, Guru. Props: All Hip Hop Update: Miss Info dissects the conflict between Guru’s family and his business partner Solar […]
The other Mr. Carter may have been the evening’s highlight, but be clear no MC has ever conquered the world’s most famous arena more than Hov. Sorry Run, it was time to pass that torch. Kiss the wife goodnight for us.
No jail for Dwayne Carter yet, so why not pop up at the Garden last night with your Young Money fam and electrify the masses. Sorry, Hov but this was the moment of the night. Hey kids: Watch and pretend you were there. Ha.
Somebody’s enjoying their new blog. Roger that?
Here’s the final two clips of my convo with Mr. Keaton yesterday. In the above clip, we speak on the reaction to Jay’s current album and he clears up the infamous “Oh Boy” Roc-Dip Set drama tale. Below, he explains on how he has to constantly change his email accounts and he sends respect and blessings to the Gang Starr MC with the same name. Let’s continue to keep Keith Elam in our prayers.
“The media they used to say that me and Kim was humpin” Great minds think alike. BK’s toughest takes a crack at this joint too. Hey, Ri-Ri, you’re next! Twtmuzik?
Here’s the “pussy rules the world” version of Luda’s new single. No Nicki Minaj. No problem. Evey-Eve, FTW! UHTN
After some more MSG talk, Guru provides some mo’ insight into Jay-Z’s current musical and artistic direction. He also respectfully disagrees with Cornell West and explains why.
“Giants all around me like Eli Manning” This some three the hard way shit right here. Dope and dark. Yo, where’s my hoodie at?
[vodpod id=Video.3156030&w=425&h=350&fv=] Here’s the first look at Wayne and Em’s highly anticipated video. Wait, did my Jewish partner sign off on this? Uh oh.
Just to get my fellow Empire State heads hyped for the Garden tonight, I’m gonna share two final clips from Sat. night’s show in the A. Up top, Hov shows he’s still riding with Obama and below, Jay pleases a persistent fan with a performance of a joint not on the current setlist. Greatest show on earth! I see you ha-ters.
Loso gave MTV a sneak peak and Dram did the same for me during my stay in the A. Needless to say, I had to put the flip cam down for most of it. No I don’t know when the shit’s comin’ out. Don’t call my phone! Wait who’s on the line? Update: Mr. Thanksgiving sets a new date.
On the eve of the big show at MSG, Jay-Z’s longtime super engineer Young Guru stopped by the RR Mansion yesterday. In the first clip, the birthday boy speaks on the blueprint behind Hov’s current stage show. He’s currently playin’ his new position as Jay’s tour DJ. Pay attention!
The Evil Genius has the floor. He thinks he can do my job. Ha! Congrats Green! “JAY-Z , YOUNG JEEZY CALL IN TO WELCOME DJ GREENLANTERN TO HIS NEW GIG ON V-103 ATL WITH GREG STREET.. ALSO GREEN WILL B DOING HIS “INVASION RADIO” SHOW ON SIRIUS/XM LIVE FROM TREE SOUND STUDIO IN ATL WHERE HE HAS SET-UP SHOP AS A PRODUCER …BEATS ON DECK SHAWTY.HA”
In the final clip of my interview at the Aphilliates offices, Dram passes the rock to his team including the homie La The Darkman and Willie The Kid. Through the raid, through the fire, the crew just got stronger. Did somebody say Gatorade money? Ha. We also reminisce on Dram’s days bloggin’ for me at XXL. Previously: YN vs. DJ Drama (Pt.2)
Anyone’s who’s ever been to a Jay show knows the man just has too many records. Right, Bleek? To please the masses as much as he can, Shawn runs through past and present hits with precision in these two clips. And remember if you don’t know the old stuff, it’s your fault, not his. Ha!
Continuing my convo with Mr. Thanksgiving, we speak on the other delinquent mixtape that Da Snowman promised, Chris Brown, T.I., and how this Philly cat overcame the big bust three years ago. Time flies! Previously: YN vs. DJ Drama (Pt.1)
Ever since that snippet leaked, I’ve been fiendin’ to hear the full song of this. After a lil coaxing, Boi let my pick for his next single loose through the Stankonia walls. Be clear: There’s a version with T.I. but on this one he goes for dolo. Now that’s a win-win.
“I’m not lookin’ at you dudes, I’m lookin’ past you” The two Jays weren’t the only ones workin’ together in the ATL on Saturday night. During SC’s set, Songz came out and helped out on hook duties for BP1’s track 8 and BP3’s track 11. Claim your shoes, fools. YN wears 12. Can’t fill ’em.
[…] Busta Rhymes’ revelation about the Roxy incident offers fans a rare glimpse into a moment that could have escalated into something much bigger. But thanks to the power of music—and the quick thinking of Kid Capri—the night ended on a high note. It’s a story that reminds us of the way hip hop can unite as much as it divides, and how even in moments of tension, the culture finds a way to move forward. […]
