I think MTO starts this rumor every six months. Oh well, just lay off the turkey sandwiches for a bit. STR8NYC Sidebar: Puff’s baby mama #1 speaks on the family biz.
While out in Texas, Jermaine granted a quick interview with One Neck, Two Chains. Before revealing his b-ball love for Penny Hardaway, Cole talks about about being in the stu with Skateboard P. He reveals he came away with joint that’s more than likely gonna make his album. But of course, he ain’t givin’ up no titles or nothin’. It’s deeper than a Twitter announcement. Ha!

Here’s a lil off-the-head from Gangsta Gibbs during his appearance on Tony Toca’s Siruis XM show last Tuesday. I met dude at the Mansion last week and I was impressed. He’s definitely on my radar. Ha.

Damn, today marks 10 years since D’Angelo last put out an album. 10 years! This guy is the male equivalent of Lauryn Hill. A musical genius who couldn’t handle fame who the general public still has their fingers crossed will one day come back and return to the top of the charts. Highly doubtful. You want D’s new shit? Buy his old album. Ha. Urban Daily Update: D and The Roots cover a Gang Starr classic.
Look who brung his hometown squad some much-needed luck. On a Sunday that was all about football for most, The Raptors pulled the upset off and beat The Lakers 106-105. Thanks, Drizzy. ATF

I put this up on Twitter this morning and it got such a great response I had to do a post. Here’s the booking photo of Gary Coleman who got bagged in Utah over the weekend for domestic abuse. I love this flick! Best. Mugshot. Ever. Bossip
Two couples that the gossip sites are always fiending for, were recently caught showing some TLC. The Carters cuppin’ some oranges as they arrive at an airport in France and below A Keys and Swizzy were spotted in Hawaii. Aloha! Hey don’t hate on Black love you single-minded folks. Get it? Ha. YBF
What a wild and crazy game. An exciting contest that was at times as sloppy as Oscar Madison’s bedroom, it was a gang of fumbles and a key interception by Brett Favre which cost the Vikings in the end. In a postseason where kickers kept choking, N.O.’s Garret Hartley knocked a 40-yard field goal in OT. The final score: Saints 31. Vikes 28. The Superbowl in Miami will feature the two truly best teams in each conference. Indy vs. Nawlins. […]
Hey it’s Championship Game Sunday so it’s only right both games get their own posts. Sadly for us Empire Staters, that after a great start, The Jets succumbed to the simply better Indianapolis Colts. Peyton Manning’s crew 30. Joe Willie Namath’s old sqaud 17. No upset here.
Apparently there was another Sprite Step Off show last night. This one was in Charlotte and Bobby Ray was on the bill. Check out “On Top Of The World” above and after the jump, B. Rich sent a clip of his artist jumpin’ in the crowd lookin’ for some haters. Jennifer Brix
The hometown boy returned to Chicago (yup, Mr. Bridges wasn’t born in the A) as the headliner of a Regal Theater show sponsored by Sprite Step Off. Here ‘Cris runs through three cuts from the extensive catalogue: the ‘bow-throwin’ “Southern Hospitality”, the new single “How Low”, and the always crowd-pleasing “Move Bitch”. Luda! Go Nowhere

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. […]
