Yup, it’s true. The re-release of Eminem’s fifth studio album includes seven bonus tracks, including the single “Forever”, also featuring Drake, Kanye West, and Lil Wayne (previously found on the More Than A Game soundtrack), “Taking My Ball” (also released only with the DJ Hero video game), and five never-before-heard tracks. “I want to deliver more material for the fans this year like I originally planned” Eminem says. “Hopefully these tracks on The Refill will tide the fans over until […]

It takes YN to make your thing go right. Ha!

“Last train to Paree” The new Rick The Ruler (?) adds his touch to Puff’s peaceful journey. Can’t wait to see what Lupe’s got for the track. Props: UHTN Sidebar: Low’s team also liberated the CDQ of “Love Come Down (Remix)” from yesterday.

Look who accompanied Mr. Graham to last night’s GQ Men Of The Year Party in L.A. That Young Money crew rolls tight, kid. One of us, equals many of us. Props: Fresh

At last night’s L.A. stop on his Fan Appreciation Tour, Chris Brown goes all the way there with his admiration of the King of Pop. He’s clearly studied all the dance steps. Schmon, Chris.

Alan’s baby boy pays homage to Al Green and Rakim Alllah at the same time. Jay-Z and Nicki Minaj collabos and now this. Guess Sex Therapy is for the hip-hop heads too. Props: Angie Mar

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3953798&w=425&h=350&fv=id%3Dv218608415%26amp%3BshareEnable%3D1] Although the early sales projections aren’t in his favor, you can’t knock Curtis’ hustle. He’s a promo machine. Here’s the first peformance I’ve seen of BISD‘s next single. No backing vocals, this is all the way live. Spotted: Yardie

Combs chopped it up with Mr. Taylor tonight. Part 1 With his Dirty Money girls in tow, Puff’s birthday pleasantries are exchanged. Album tentatively due March. Remix talk. Red Cafe deal not finalized. Why he left Atlantic? Movie in June. Seven shows on airwaves. Jimmy Iovine a true brand builder. Possible L.O.X. reunion. Part 2 More born day party talk. The unfinished business with Ma$e. Can’t keep Black Rob out of jail. Saw one of his artists smokin’ crack in […]

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3953022&w=425&h=350&fv=] “The game needs structure right now.” The D-O Double G is still floodin’ the Internets. This time he brings a visual to Malice‘s most controversial banger. Sledgehammer shots hurt, son. Ouch. Props: 2DB

Technically: Hov has topped the pop charts three times before, but all as a guest (MC’s “Heartbreaker”, B’s “Crazy In Love” and Ri-Ri’s “Umbrella”). “Empire State of Mind” is the man with 11 #1 albums, first #1 Hot 100 single from an actual Shawn Carter CD. Clap for him. Louder! Billboard

Rap-Up says The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul has changed the title of her upcoming Dec 22nd album from Stronger to Stronger with Each Tear. Big change? *Kanye shrug*

Envy went 2-for-2 today. This is the remix. Da Capo. F-A-B-O. And what else? Who else? Red Cafe. Previously: Diddy Previews His Remixes

Oh no, it can’t be. The Quence got Gram Fam back-up. The vocals fly by faster than a speeding bullet. How soon before CDQ? UPDATE: Only an hour. Not bad. Splash

Life is one big video shoot apparently. Wayne looks quite devilish above. Yikes. My political connects tell me this song is on Santana’s Def Jam album. If there really is such a thing. Spotted: YBF Previously: On The Set: Juelz Santana x Lil Wayne “Home Run”

RR Update: B Dot still hates this song and YN thinks it’s gonna be a big hit. Here’s two photos from the upcoming video from Weezy’s crew. DGBlog has a gang of others. Knock yourself out.

I was saddened the other day when I heard news of the passing of Ken Ober. He was the host of one of MTV’s first non-video playing ventures in the late ’80s, a TV trivia game show called Remote Control. Adam Sandler got his start on the show and my 16-year-old hormones had a thing for Kari Wuhrer. I found a clip of one of my favorite eps featuring LL Cool J with bodyguard in tow, chompin’ on cookies and […]

Here’s another behind the scenes peek at the Def Jam South Prez’s next all-star visual. Props to Mr. Raymond and especially Ricky for breaking out the blue and orange. Guess the Yankee joints were sold out. Ha! I’m from Queens. I can clown my squad. Khaled Previously: On The Set: DJ Khaled “Fed Up”

It’s what you all been waitin’ for, ain’t it? Now pose for the camera, click-click. Props: Yardie

Team Supreme was in the house today for Ri-Ri’s Rated R launch across the pond. So was Jay-Z and Young Jeezy. Yeah, this show was kinda like a big deal. Video coming soon. UPDATE: Pretend you were there. [vodpod id=Groupvideo.3930406&w=425&h=350&fv=]

“You don’t want the shooter, I’ll take him”. Philly’s Power 99 brought ’em together, so of course they broke song first. Sigel doesn’t fire any Hov shots, but the guy on hookman duty talks his shit at the end. CDQ coming soon. Props: Omen UPDATE: Info got Dirty CDQ.
