So after all this foolery, I just got a press release saying Ri-Ri’s album is called Rated R. Yup, the same info leaked months ago. The fine folks at IDJ deny that the image above is the final cover. Isn’t it time for the single already?

“What about the asssss?!” Here’s a flick from Ye’s Glow In The Dark book. Available now. Don’t be assed out. Support art! Spotted: LupE.N.D. via KanyeWestUS
Did Mr. Abs really have to have his shirt off? SMH. Spotted: PDS
[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3693128&w=425&h=350&fv=videoId%3D45296505001%26amp%3BplayerID%3D14965166001%26amp%3Bdomain%3Dembed%26amp%3B] Justin interrupts a terrible interview to let the world know that he is in fact cookin’ up some marvelous things with Marshall Mathers. “Now that he’s put it out there, I am working with Eminem on his new album. We are working on Relapse 2 pretty heavily. As of yesterday, we’ve done about six or seven records. I go back in with him in a couple of weeks and do three or four more maybe. I’ve been quietly […]
Yup I don’t fuck with dude’s Obama diss, but hey new rap is new rap, and I got a job to do. In case you missed it Sunday night, Peter Rosenberg had an action-packed hip-hop show which included new material from Scooter Braun’s property. Hate it or love it, this white dude can still flow.
Not gonna lie, this got me a lil’ amped. Ri-Ri season begins. But be clear, this ain’t the single. Shaffer got the first look. Written by Ne-Yo, “Russian Roulette” is due in a few hours. Prepare yourselves, Internets. Spotted: PDS Sidebar: Chris Brown’s gonna be on Angie Mar manana. Yup, this could be a good week.
This the wrong sport, Miss Katie. Had a hard time selecting which subpar Wayne leak to post today (there’s plenty on the Internets) but then it dawned on me, it’s Sunday, go with the football one. So here ya go, a year late and 4 downs short. I’d rather wait for No Ceilings then decipher through old half-finished tunes that are now tagless. Who can keep up with all this shit? I’m 38! Team Supreme
Last night, Bobby’s ex was on the X-Factor (UK’s version of American Idol) and let’s just say she didn’t bring her A game. Apparent wardrobe malfunction, cracked voice (pun intended), and… the need to make it rain? Yup, you can’t blame this one on Mr. Brown.
At JT Tha Bigga Figga’s charity event last night in Viva land, Timbo “The Jay-Z leaker” came out to give the public another taste from his upcoming Shock Value 2 album. Although the acoustics make the lyrics hard to decipher, the Internets have confirmed the tune’s title. Props to whoever flip cam-ed from the cheap seats. Real recognize real. Props: Atlanta Urban Mix For full show recap: MTV
[sparkart-clique site=”rap_radar” video=”drunk_kan”] This is what happens when a “See You In My Nightmares” video turns into a strange Spike Jonze short film. Now we see why this was shelved. Too bizarre for words. But, entertaining I guess— in a guilty pleasure kind of way. Poor rodent! Props: RLF Nowhere Sidebar: This guy’s my literary labelmate and I guess his book is really coming out. I see you, Malaika!
Guess the 18th Letter is really gonna put an album out this year. Sad but true, the God has lost a step or two. No disrespect. “Holy Are You” > All the rest. Full snippet stream from across the pond. Props: 2DB via CWR
So Earl Simmons showed up to a concert in Colorado last night and wasn’t allowed to perform. Thus, a battle between X and his crew vs. the security broke out. Pretty crazy footage. Even crazier is the revelation that the promoter ’caused all the whole fracas. More after the jump. Props: Real Talk NY
After the original, if you patiently wait a long-ass fuckin’ time it’s probably this… With No Ceilings on the way, it looks like Mixtape Weezy season has begun. Word on the Internets: A lot of leftover joints will drop like birdshit this week. Props: NR via TS Update: Trick or Treat.
Look who called into Shade 45 on a Saturday afternoon. Can someone tell David Brown you can’t come home again. Sidebar: I don’t think 50’s the forgiving type.
Guess you gotta get an R&B chick in your video. What’s Drake gonna come up with? Ha! ThisIs50 Previously: On The Set: 50 Cent & Ne-Yo “Baby By Me” Sidebar: Nice haircut, Clinton! HHNM
Looks like Fuck Boy got Diddy’s main squeeze to be in his second video of the big comeback. Sean keeps lookin’ out for the kid. SMH. Props: Hip Hop-N-More
I kinda feel like I work for this guy. Hope you had a fine Born Day! Sidebar: Sak Pase!
You know what time it is. Guccimerica. Tracklist and two more mixtapes after the jump. Props: Nigel D.
In case you ain’t heard by now, it’s Drake’s Saturday. This is an early unfinished take of a joint off Timbo’s Shock Value 2. Sounds like some typical Drizzy to me. Which means it’s pretty good. Props: DJ Neptune Sidebar: Anybody ready for them Gucci mixtapes? Burrr!
You peeped the video tease, now here’s the first single off Red’s 9 1/2 album. Fingers crossed, it drops December 8th. Always gotta respect Mr. Noble, he made alotta Def Jams. Ha!
[…] 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. […]
