You want Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons to express their post-show feelings on VH1 Hip Hop Honors? Well hip-hop’s new favorite comedian’s got it covered. Sketch is a tad long, but funny nonetheless. This Crockett guy is one bad muthafucka.

Speculation is mounting tonight that Dwayne Carter is going to accept a plea deal tomorrow to avoid a trial in New York on his 2007 gun charge. If convicted, he faces a minimum 3 1/2 year prison term. Plaxico, anyone? AHH says: “They told him that if he doesn’t plead tomorrow, it will go to trial and then he faces a far longer jail term,” the source continued. A small amount of DNA may have changed the landscape of the […]
Baby’s new cash cow shows off his Westside connect on the set of “Lottery Ticket“. 614 Update: Tattoo Wipeout
Sorry, Ang.
Classic Ahmir Face. We’re too busy to make a new CD? Fuckin’ Hennessy tour? Fallon got us under pressure? Name an excuse! Ha. Nah, here’s ?uesto tweeting on why he wants no parts of the 4th quarter. If Jeezy and Ri-Ri drop, I think Antonio will forgive ’em. Props: Prefix
With the recent death of her former Xscape bandmate Kandi’s boyfriend, AJ, Tiny admits that Clifford is very concerned for her safety in Atlanta as he sits in the clink. “I talk to him about a little of everything, just things going on. He hears things and we talk about it. He wants me to stay out the way, me being out of harm’s way. I know it’s a lot of crazy things going on so I try to stay […]
“We got our props, homie.” Wow, just discovered this footage. Seeing Sir Juice actually in the casket is surreal. Rest In Peace, John Rivas.
Slut Monkey entered the city of hella haters, to holla at The Pen and peep Mario performing his big hit on the 106 & Park tour. No Gucci—Big Problem. Props: Ozone Sidebar: I fucks with this song even though Rosie‘s version is slightly better. Lyrics to go?
Besides givin’ Angie Martinez, his first major interview since Larry King, CB also promises a world premiere. It’s the joint he shot the video to with Cassie in it. You know RR’s gonna be rippin’ all this, will you? Ha.
[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3699869&w=425&h=350&fv=] Speaking of the guy with more money than Wayne, the BP3 tour resumes in Michigan tonight (you think Marshall will leave his compound?) so here’s a long look at Hov’s last show in Seattle. He runs through three heaters from the new album and a classic medley. Let’s appreciate him while he’s here folks. Bonus: Here’s another look at Jigga’s surprise pop-up at the BET Hip-Hop Awards.

So here’s another rumor that went down while I was trying to grab some shut eye. At last night’s show in the NYC, Pusha T dissed Jay-Z as evidenced by the bars he spit above? Once agin, Minya Oh clears up the madness. The verse is actually from “Big Dreams” off the last mixtape the VA duo dropped. So if it’s a shot, it’s an old shot, big shot. Ha!
Over night, a terrible and false rumor was started that Kanye West died in a car accident. It’s completely untrue and his ladyfriend took to Twitter (where RIP Kanye West is still a trending topic) to clear up the madness. The Taylor Swift thing was wrong but it’s amazing how much heat this guy still has on him. So much for a post-racial America. Spotted: Miss Info
Miss Info got the scoop from Angie Martinez, a good friend of Po’s who visited him often in prison, and it looks he will indeed be sent back to Belize. Shyne’s team is fighting to stay in the US where his mother and his grandmother live and where they raised him….but it seems like he’s going to have to continue the fight from Belize. Shyne will be released from Immigration custody but will then be deported to Belize soon. He […]
“Dang! She called me Usher.” Just to get you hype. We’re 24 hours away! Don’t think tomorrow is gonna be as much fun for Fuck Boy. Ha! Update: Look who’s touring.
“Heavy like a ’57 Chevy.” Mo Garland. He went and put me on. This new Z-Ro is kinda tough. I contend not enough of my fellow sites out here show love to the homies down below. East Coast bias? Yeah, we off that! A lil’ country hip-hop never hurt nobody. Ride out! Props: Blogger Noz
Here’s another one floating around the Internets from Weezy’s studio. A snippet of this leaked this past Spring. Sound quality is YouTube-ish, but I can still hear hit potential. Watch Birdman make the YM bunch do this one over. Truthfully: I’m quietly hoping the only album Mr. Carter puts out this year is one with his eclectic bunch. Ha! Props: Sermon
Sorry William, but I couldn’t get through listening to your new shit. I tried. Good intentions. Bad music. Really bad. Joe Jackson bad! Still, you’re more hip-hop than you probably know. I’ll always rock with you Cos for this one. Everybody sing along! Sidebar: For the lost disco kids.
Kinda tough competing with Gucci Mania, but I say Jeezy is still doin’ his thing. Here’s the song he debuted at that party a week or so ago in full. In case you ain’t know by now, trappin’ ain’t dead. Got it? Finally? Good! Props: UHTN Bonus: Don’t know where you’re goin’, if you don’t know where you’ve been.

Pardon Uncle Russy’s tardiness, but I gather Hov reaching his 11th #1 album has finally impacted him. Now this what the fuck I call a delayed reaction. Here’s a sample of his new GG blog: Looking back at his amazing career, it suddenly dawned on me, that in a hundred years from now, we’re gonna be talking about Jay-Z. When we think of hip-hop, we will think of Jay. But what is even more important than his album sales, is […]
“So just pull the trigger.” Barbed wire across the boobs? Ouch! As far as the music goes, a lot of bass, sultry, theatric… Ok, I’m wit it. But then again, I already got my Team Ri Ri jersey on. Ha! Props: Mr. X Bonus: Splash got the instrumental. Think you can sing better, songbird? Knock yourself out!
[…] 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. […]
