I think Hov’s tryin’ to tell us the song he did for Mr. Thicke’s album is funky. Spotted: Jay-Z World via YBF

“I got my own show/ I get to be bossy/ I got a hot wife/ Her name is Portia de de de Rossi.” Last Friday on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, the hip-hop lovin’ talk show host raved on Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3. After givin’ Ghostface Killah a lil’ shout-out, she grabbed the mic and displayed some skills of her own. Someone get shorty a deal pronto. Spotted: Jay-Z World

Last night, Angela Yee hosted the big Duck Down showcase in the Rotten Apple. The Double D put it down for all their devoted hip-hop heads. Up top, Black Moon set things off with their classic hit “I Got Cha Opin”. After the jump, check more of their set as well as appearances by Sean Price, Pharoahe Monch, Sadat X, Smif-N-Wessun, and the Crooklyn Dodgers.

Yesterday after participating in a massive Crime Wave, Joell Ortiz woke up this morning with some more bars for all you heavy drinkers. I am sure some off y’all can probably relate to the title today. Produced by DJ Emz. Oh yeah, he works for Rap Radar too. Props: 2DopeBoyz

Last night, Fabolous (wearing the yellow top) performed a couple hits from the balcony of club Ibiza in Washington D.C. After his last song, a partygoer threw something to the upper level. Once fire was returned, all hell broke lose. Bottles of Rose and Grey Goose were hurled across the club, like a C.C. Sabathia fastball. Not sure if anyone was hurt, but Fab walked away unscathed. Here’s some of the incident. Crack a bottle, indeed.

Wasalu hinted via Twitter that this Thursday, he will announce some major news in regards to his upcoming album, Lasers. I’m assuming it will be revealed at the Remember 2 Smile show at The Congress Theater Chicago. My fingers are crossed for an actual release date or another single. Heads up: SeanTheRobot

On October 27th, C Breezy begins his long road back to the top of the 106 & Park charts. Transformation, complete? Previously: Chris Brown On Angie Martinez

Looks like Alicia’s The Element of Freedom is not dropping on December 1st nor is Mary J. Blige dropping Stronger on November 24th. Both R&B songstresses have their albums pushed back going head-to-toe on their new release date, December 15th. It also so happens to be the date Chris Breezy is scheduled to drop Graffiti. It like it’s going to be one hell of an R&B album release day. MJB and Killa Keys don’t seem too thrilled about it though. I love cat fights. Back […]

Landing in the DMV area this weekend, Mr. Mescudi performed at DC 101’s MTV Halloween Ulalume Festival at the Merriweather Post Pavillion in Columbia, MD last night. Above, he recites his verse off The Blueprint 3. I heard some people were aggy that his set was pretty short. Howard Univ.’s homecoming is going on this weekend and he had one of many parties to attend. Spotted: DatNewCudi

While visiting his friend’s city for HU’s homecoming, Ludacris shared with the world his weekend digs. That pool table’s no ball breaker. Sidebar: As you can see below from Yardfest yesterday, he also rolls with one of HU alumni’s finest. Jodi, you lost.
