In a sit-down yesterday with AP, Ri-Ri details the emotional process it took to finish her new album. Incidentally, I’m gonna hear Rated R this afternoon. Let’s see what I get away with sharing. Spotted: Illionaire

Look who showed up to Curtis’ latest video shoot this weekend. SMH. This rap shit is one big soap opera. Budden’s ex

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3868696&w=425&h=350&fv=] Attempting to clear up all the rumors, Ms. Gettin’ Some Head told a Chicago crowd that she’s still rockin’ with Luda for the Battle of The Sexes project. But after that’s completed, she’s breaking bread with Faheem. Sounds like a lady in demand. Can you say Nappy Girl? Props: FSD, who threw the show.

Here’s the visual to the Doggfather’s respectful ode to the East Coast. Kinda wished they would’ve waited to drop this during RR’s Malice In Wonderland week but oh well. *Kanye shrug* Props: HHNM via WSHH

“The problem is he’s probably the biggest movie star on the planet.” During a sit-down for DJ Hero, Mr. Townes details the difficulties of gettin’ Mr. Smith back in the stu. Not gonna happen anytime soon, but I could see it goin’ down one day. Still, you gotta applaud the boys from Philly for staying friends for all these years. Plus you know “Summertime” still knocks, kids.

Here’s some mo’ unreleased goodness from Chocolate City’s finest. Attention Deficit Executive Producer Mark Ronson liberated this one himself on his radio show. The joint was produced by Sean C and LV with Travis Barker on drums. Definitely like the energy on this one. OMG, YN needs a CDQ of “OG” ASAP. LOL. Props: Metal Lungies

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3866762&w=425&h=350&fv=] Can you say, Life After Tahiry? While on the road, Mouse showed his legion of nerd computer geeks the new young lady that they’ll soon be jerkin’ off to. Her name is Somaya Reece. Does Joe’s new personal happiness mean the death of Mood Muzik? SMH. I’m too old for this shit. © Danny Glover WSHH

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3864090&w=425&h=350&fv=] “It just so happens that this video calls for pretty bitches.” No Chris Brown here. Instead, another look at Juelz filming the first single of his often-delayed project. In this clip, Da Capo pops up and lets it be known that Dip Set were very selective about the young ladies allowed to participate in the final product. It’s The LIFE Update: But you-know-who made it. Big shocker!

Shawn wasn’t the only Carter enjoyin’ some roundball action Friday night. Dwayne was in the building in the Sunshine State and took time to dap my neighbor. ESPN says Flo Rida was also there, seated next to Dwayne Wade’s moms who turned 55. Heat 96, Nuggets 88. Props: LWHQ via 305

“We all need each other to live and breathe. And that’s the way we treat each other.” Classic Yo! MTV Raps footage of Sean C. ushering in the Bad Boy era to Fab 5 Freddy. Whatchu know about the Big Mack campaign? Damn, y’all will never be YN. I blog about it and I lived it. Ha! Props: Up North Trips

There was a poor quality rip of a non-BISD unreleased cut that leaked about a week ago that the Internets keep talkin’ about. Well as 50 first said here, he’s gonna drop a video for it really soon. Stay tuned. Alright. Ok. Ha! Bonus: Omen got a snippet of “Man’s World,” a bonus track off the iTunes digital version of BISD due out next Tues the 9th. Let your fingers do the talkin’. Sidebar: You wanna smell like success?

“You a slave to a page in my rhyme book.” We posted some footage from this show about a month ago. Missing was this recently released clip of the Virgos gettin’ it in on Esco’s heat rock from God’s Son. Pardon, the clean edits. You can still do the Wop. No Jada? It’s ok.

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3863227&w=425&h=350&fv=clip_id%3D7493259%26server%3Dvimeo.com%26autoplay%3D0%26fullscreen%3D1%26md5%3D0%26show_portrait%3D0%26show_title%3D0%26show_byline%3D0%26context%3D%7Cnewest%26context_id%3D%26force_embed%3D0%26multimoog%3D%26color%3D00ADEF%26force_info%3Dundefined] Stop stressing Mr. Smith. This competition that went down last Tuesday in the ATL was all done in the fun. The only winners are us hip-hop fans. Shut your traps, chumps and savor the moment. TMD

“I’m so fly, I’m ’bout to start my own airline.” Damn I forgot this video went down yesterday. Maybe ‘cuz Juelz didn’t come through with any good flicks as promised. Guess someone was busy supporting Breezy in his time of need. Not like that. A! Anyways, Chris looks pretty sequestered as the Unit and DJ Envy are among the cameos. Unlike RR They Were Invited: Hip Hop Stan

Today Moses moved into his deluxe Renaissance Towers Penthouse on the north side of Belize’s sky. This weekend, Po is planning a big 30th birthday celebration and a famous radio host is already on her way to visit him. Mar better come through with the flicks! Props: Belizean Update: She’s already started. Ha!

Here’s the offical art for Robyn’s single. Beware of the flashing lights. You know fame kills. Heads Up: Rap-Up

Here’s another one from Marshall Mathers’ Halloween Havoc show. Seriously, when is my Jewish partner gonna come up off his HD quality shit? There’s no I in team? Oh, but there’s an I in Win. And I’m YN. Ha! Sidebar: Oh and Em got EMA’s too!

“You like that, Bron Bron?” Just thought it was too long since our last Jay-Z post. Ha! Seriously, I was at the game last night and what the Knicks are doin’  shouldn’t even be called basketball. The Cavs came to the Garden and in front of Mr. Carter and his Yankee pals put a whuppin’ on the Empire, 100-91. It wasn’t as close as the score looks. Belee dat.

The homie Sickamore just hit me with this one. Don’t know much about Rich Hil, but this is some cool emo flavored shit with the perfect title. Nice to have Mescudi back in his element. I forgive you for the Shakira song. Ha!

“I want to let y’all know 8 months ago I could only get 400 people in a room. And tonight, we got 2000!” Last night in the Big Apple, R Les got to play headliner and needless to say he was pleased with himself. In the above clip, he closes the show with a lil Kanye-esque flair and no help from his old boo. No Cassie. No problem. Once Again: The Kingz
