This afternoon Perez Hilton and plenty of his fellow gossip mongers, ran a report that Slim and his infamous former flame, Kim were back together again. Well Team Marshall has quickly rebuffed that talk, here’s the official statement. “Contrary to false rumors spread by unreliable tabloids, Marshall and Kim Mathers are not romantically reunited in any way, nor are they expecting a child together. They are a divorced couple who share custody of their daughter and maintain a friendly relationship.” […]

This time around the victims include The-Dream and his pink Grammy suit, Greg Oden and his butt-naked ways, and The-Game and Tila Tequila baby daddy fuckery. *Dead at him cuttin’ to Curtis after the Jayceon part.
Since niggas beat me to my own posts (57th Ave., I see you. Ha!), might as well share this off mic discussion Peniro and I had about those classic L.O.X. days. Damn, I miss mixtapes!
A lil Sade and a whole lot of coke talk. Marvin’s back! Life story told through rap. Cop that Gun Powder Guru, chump. Update: Wait, why isn’t “Obama” on this? Talk to me!

“I’m gainin’ on ’em/ Guess who’s gettin’ famous on ’em” Is this another one from Victory? Thankfully, Po ain’t on it. Damn, that’s a never forgive action. Anyways, this sounds like a Capo solo joint with a Southern dude on the hook. Not bad at all. Swag splash! Kingsley Osei
Yesterday I had the pleasure of interviewing Styles P and Green Lantern at Sirius XM to commemorate the release of the Green Ghost Project. Statik Selektah and Just Blaze, who did a guest DJ set of L.O.X. classics, were also in the building. So hip-hop! The following is the final interview segment of the show where, correct me if I’m wrong, but did Mr. Smith say he’s goin’ Uptown, baby? Hmm. Time will tell.
Don’t see Hov or Em but look who showed up: Yeezy! And his 2 jackets! Plenty of rappers after the jump.
It’s what we all been waitin’ for, ain’t it? The return of Shyne Po on the mic. Too bad he just don’t sound right. Sorry. NMC

Instead, he kicks some lyrics from dude’s catalogue. Funny stuff.
Still waiting for a real CDQ. Heads Up: Rap Up
[…] 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. […]
