Normally, I’d call bullshit. Afterall, Big Boi’s been plugging this album for the longest. But with Maurice there to give it an added co-sign, I believe it is. Maybe Def Jam felt otherwise?

Grand opening. Grand closing?

Less than a week ago, Weezy was biggin’ up O and he was pledging his allegiance to the Young Money fam. Today, a pretty weak song called “I Get It In” leaked and now Mack Maine is on Twitter announcing that Mr. Grandberry got the boot.

Jae Millz and Lil Twist have both co-signed by sending retweets.

Geez, what gives? Guess Cash Money/Young Money wasn’t big enough for Bow Wow and Omarion to co-exist. Tsk. Tsk. Get KC on the phone!

Update: Mack Maine, “The President” of Young Money sent a similar statement to SOHH.

Jamie and friends stand in front of a green screen for his latest visual. This is kind of reminds me of Lloyd’s “All Around The World“. Shiny skin is the new shiny suit.

Um, back in my day, we called this an EP. See: Show and AG/PR and CL. That’s right, no Kanye clearances, Santigold or “Ignorant Shit” covers. Mr. You The Fuckin’ Best is hittin’ retail with just his very best on this reissue due Sept. 15th. These are the songs you hear on the radio ALL THE TIME. As you can see, “I’m Goin’ In” is even included. With no Jeezy? Don’t know about that. But at least we got the […]

Will all the chitter-chatter about the BP3 final tracklist, it reminds me of the stir that started when this ad first emerged for The Black Album. This woulda been a hell of a concept. Oh well. Props: THExKM1 Sidebar: We still haven’t got confirmation on the producers of the new songs. But of course, there’s a Wiki list. Let’s see if it holds up.

[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.866634&w=425&h=350&fv=%26rel%3D0%26border%3D0%26] *Blows whistle* Technical foul on number 9-7. Nearly a week later, the station blazing hip-hop and R&B finally uploaded footage from the Band of Ballers game. Jimmy and The Jones Family took the chip. No need to say who took the “L”. Previously: Jim Jones M.V.B. (Most Valuable Baller)

 It’s deeper than Mad Max.

Director Anthony Mandler reveals the idea behind Jigga’s next visual:

“There’s a tone and feeling to the song, there’s a militia, a march and a kind of rambunctious energy to it that, for me, I immediately wanted to tap into. I showed [Jay] some references from the classic rebellious zones of the world. We live in very orderly society in America, but when you get into Brazil, you get into the Middle East, you get into Africa, you get into Eastern Europe, when you get into places like that, there’s a different sort of ‘we run this town’ [going on]. There’s less order and more chaos. So we looked at a lot of those references, new photos and historical photos, to capture that kind of falling-apart feeling.”

“We wanted you to feel uneasy throughout the piece,” he said. “We wanted there to be a constant layer of tension through the piece. Even in the way I shot — where the camera comes by Jay, it doesn’t stop on him, it goes to Rihanna — there’s kind of this chaos of revealing and covering and concealing. And things happen offscreen that you don’t see. I think people are really gonna flip on this.”

We better. Video drops tmw night at 8 EST on MTV.
