Now that you got your iTunes on in support, here’s a holiday treat. A full mastered version of everyone but B.Dot’s favorite song with the Mr. Magic classic radio drop included. Now, if we could just get our hands on Act Dos. Sidebar: YN typed this from the sky. Gogo on the Internets is your friend. I’m so fancy!

Every year around this time, my partner PR and the fine folks at Shade 45 do a special program called “Hanukkah Radio”. This time, they really lucked out cause rap’s next superstar just happens to be Jewish. Besides admitting he was Bar Mitzvahd in a basement at an Italian restaurant, Drizzy reveals that while in Houston, he recorded several songs with Bun B and will soon be headed to Hawaii to finish Thank Me Later with you-know-who. The album’s still […]
Nepotism be damned. Me thinks baby bro went in on this one. And I’m not just sayin’ that because he kinda got at me on it. Ha! Props: Rock The Dub
“I could write, train men, put millions in one account/ Six weeks later, in the sun with my bunions out” These days, it seems as if Rae just can’t leave that mic alone. Ha! So it was only a matter of time until he got a piece of Snoop’s new hip-hop soundboard. Don’t front, y’all can’t get enough. Sidebar: All I know is what Ernesto tweeted. Fingers crossed. Hov brings some holiday cheer.
Another teaser. “Pronto” video on the way in five days. Cancel Christmas!
Like we say around these parts: Don’t just talk about supporting our culture. Actually, do it. The single’s .99 cents. All three versions are three bucks. Cop. Now, didn’t that feel good?
Oops! Apparently, the online retailer prematurely mailed 500 copies of Wayne’s Rebirth. According to Birdman, the album was pushed back and scheduled to be released on February 1, 2010. In the words of Bill Duke… Daily Swarm
After first blessin’ Stephen Hill’s place of business, Thicke and Onika took their act to Times Square for the album release party for Sex Therapy. Pardon the bad girl’s bad lip sync. After the jump, watch Alan’s baby boy channel his inner Marvin Gaye. Yup, he’s got trouble on his mind.
My homie Robbie unearthed this lost session from Hell on Earth, Mobb Deep’s incredible third album. You’ll notice one of Prodigy’s verses was eventually used on “Nightime Vultures”. I swear trying to organize the Mobb’s extensive classic catalogue could give you a migraine. One of the greatest groups of all-time. All-time! Props: UnKut
R.I.P. Mr. Redding Bonus: A toast to the King of Comedy too.
All of a sudden, Jayceon Taylor is everywhere. He popped up at Snoop’s big Malice shindig last night, and got his freestyle on in homage to his Left Coast big homie. Sounds like he’s really goin’ off the head. Not bad, tattoo boy.
It wasn’t all good a week ago when Freekey Zekey delivered his spin on the Dip Set split. Obviously offended by accusations that he stole money, Da Capo hops on the track to provide his take on things. Oh boy. The Diplomat saga continues. Where my Killa tape at? Props: SOHH x WSHH
Good luck clearing this one, Chuck.
Rememburrr to support our culture today. Hint hint.
After beefing with several security guards, your boy YN managed to gather some footage of Ri-Ri’s concert last night. We showed you the rehearsal yesterday and up above, is the performance of “Hard”. On the other side, a “Take A Bow”/”Disturbia” medley. Then, it’s time to get your umbrellas out.
Now, that’s a throwback flick! Here’s that long-waited collabo from A and B. Not what I was expecting, but oh well, get your stomp on! Might be a good joint for the treadmill. That’s about it. Props: Miss Jia

Yup, we know it leaked like a dam yesterday. Still, here’s the Refill bonus cut that’s being serviced to DJs. A lil’ Marshall and Andre back and forth for your Friday morning. Oh that Double R, what a Shady Promo Machine. Ooh Wee! Pick it up December 21st, cheapskates.
Casket Track #10, you bastards.
[vodpod id=Groupvideo.4086177&w=425&h=350&fv=] Uh oh, Uncle L does his rendition of the years biggest songs. That’s right, the 52nd Grammy Award nominations were announced tonight. Bey leads the pack, Kanye’s still in the mix, and Drake didn’t need an album or record deal to prove he’s the shit. Read ’em and weep. The ceremony takes place at the Staples Center, January 31, 2010.
[…] 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. […]
