Truthfully, Angela Yee gave me the tip on this one Monday but I couldn’t confirm. Curtis did the honors in Houston while making the radio rounds. At the 1:20 mark, he claims that Tahiry isn’t the only one in the “Do You Think About Me” video. A reunion with Vivica Fox? He might be on to somethin’. ThisIs50

Undefeated and Creative Visions have partnered for the DJ AM Memorial Fund’s charity sneaker auction. The bidding wars will take place exclusively on eBay from November 15th-December 14th.

“Girls snappin’ pictures like the paparazzi.” Can’t have new Ri-Ri without new CB. Here’s a midtempo one for the ladies. Yup, Brown’s single and he wants to mingle. Be careful, shawty. Props: Hottest Ish

Let’s try this again. New and improved. Serenity now. Ha! AKMedia

A fellow colleague of mine, Matt Diehl caught a screening in L.A. of QD3’s Lil Wayne flick and he’s waving his thumbs as high as your eyes can see. The following will make you wanna see it too. At the beginning of the film, a title card apologizes for the fact that the filmmakers were never able to sit down and have a formal interview with Weezy, and that he withdrew his support from the film. Well, they shouldn’t have […]

This sounds like an early version of the next Birdman single that he shot the video to. Told ya he utilized Drizzy again. SMH. Props: Sermon UPDATE: Yeah there’s also a version that came out with Soulja Boy. Birdman taketh away.

Thank you, Thornton Brothers. Til The Casket Drops drops Dec. 8.

No Raekwon. Just Kanye and Amber roaming in Rome. And you gossip sites, thought it was over. SMH. Spotted: A Fly Girl

“Get my posse!” While we patiently wait for video of Tyson layin’ out a pap at LAX, here’s some 80’s footage of Mike along with Eric B., Mr. Magic, LL, Whodini and Flavor Flav backstage at a Run-DMC/Beastie Boys show. How real is this? Spotted: Up North Trips UPDATE: In a cop car. SMH.

Guess what? I heard the album and Antonio showed me the video. Spoiler alert: Dude at the table pops himself in the head at the end. Full video airs Friday night on 20/20. Chris Brown debuts “Crawl” the same day on Wendy Williams. No coincidence.

Billboard provided a preview of what’s coming at the end of the week. No shots fired at Hov in the following 30 seconds. “I’ll give you something to talk about / come around me fronting, I’ll air you out / I go off,” 50 harmonizes at the beginning of the song atop a drum-heavy, winded production. “I don’t shoot sh*t off, dog, I gun it down / walk up on n*ggas and run them down / pull a stock out […]

More dopeness from the recent London reunion show as PR and CL pay homage to the Kings of Rock. I caught a chill on this one. Wow. Previously: Pete Rock & CL Smooth “T.R.O.Y.” (London) UPDATE: Two days later in Paris, they did it again. Here’s a full look.  

*YN frantically calls travel agent* Calvin

We’re still celebratin’ the King. This is the best tune off his finest posthumous release that I’ve heard thus far. Stevie Wonder wrote the following and how it didn’t end up being on an MJ album before is beyond me. If you don’t like this one, get the fuck off my site and don’t you ever come back. Ha!

As nice as it is to see Uncle L get his proper due again with All World 2. If the tracklist after the jump is correct, then three of the songs on this greatest hits compilation already appeared on the original. Can you say tonearm sequence fail again? Don’t make me do my own. You know how I do. UPDATE: Nav has cleaned up the mess. Amazon got it wrong. No repeats. “The Ripper Strikes Back” is a rare record […]

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3893941&w=425&h=350&fv=] “It’s cool to get on the phone with a bunch of real niggas.” With BG and Khaled in the house, Game called into Green Lantern’s Invasion Radio show this past Monday night. B Gizzle is really feelin’ the R.E.D. album concept and Chuck Taylor can’t stop talkin’ about his joyous reunion with Dr. Dre. He also promises his Valentine’s Day timed CD will be his most hood and street since his debut, The Documentary. Where have I heard […]

No, your ears didn’t deceive you. The homie Mr. Folarin shouted your boy out in front of Terrence and Rocsi today on 106 & Park. Thank you Stephen Hill for not cuttin’ me out. And oh yeah, have you purchased Attention Deficit yet?

Fuck holding your eye. So this afternoon along with a selected handful of critics, YN got to sit in Antonio Reid’s plush office and listen to Ri-Ri’s new album out of his Genelec Speakers. My BB and Iphone stayed in my pockets and I had to go hand-to-hand with my notes. So forgive me if the future proves my observations wrong. Here we go. Mad House Intro interlude. Slow plodding. Brief. No lyrics. Dark. Sets tone for record which is […]

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3887937&w=425&h=350&fv=] Can’t believe it’s 2009 and Ja’s still trying to make this record work. This reminds me, I heard Irv Gotti officially retired from the music biz. Can someone hit the kid and let me know the deal? Anyways, back to the music. I’m a sucker for a Beatles sample, but I think Jeffrey got beat by a brother from BK. WSHH
