[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.866687&w=425&h=350&fv=] The latest in D-Nice‘s excellent series features the lead MC of Cypress Hill breakin’ down their breakthrough hit, “How I Could Just Kill A Man”. Didn’t know the lyrics were originally from 3 different songs merged into one. B-Real also breaks down Latinos fight for respect in rap, the enduring power of hip-hop and the current status of his crew. Keep doin’ ya thing, Derrick.

C’mon MC. All this nonsense and now your official single is a cover of Foreigner’s classic, “I Want To Know What Love Is”? Y’all can’t come up with something original? C Lighty talk to me, man.

I’m really sick of these less than 60 seconds video teasers, but this is to promote Cee-Lo and the crew gettin’ back together for their Sept 19th show in the ATL so it gets a pass. Plus I fucks with the Motion Family. Here Gipp shares his thoughts. Guess each member gets his own shine in the next 3 upcoming promo spots. Yipee.

The Cons and his featured guests Kanye West and John Legend shot the video for his single in Florida on Sunday. And what’s a lil fun in the Sunshine State without Amberllonia and Joey Crack.

I’m a grown-ass man. 38, to be right and exact and I can admit I like this joint a lot. LOL smiley face. LOL smiley face, nigga. You got a problem? Here’s a lil’ taste of it live from a few nights ago. This Trey Songz kid is startin’ to grow on me. Especially if Kells disappoints…

Sidebar: Wonder if Mr. Folarin got that track yet.

Is this Hot Boy even signed to Atlantic anymore? Truth be told, I was a huge fan of Juve back in the days and thought Wayne was a young subpar whippersnapper. Oh boy was I wrong. But this shit right here is all flow, lil’ substance and too much, P.P. Pause. Try again, woadie.

“Ah man, 15 for a stack.”

“Alright, let me get that, man.”

Whoa. This is incredible. Bread trucks, son? Ha! I gotta get all this Pap content up before B.Dot touches down. Say it with me, 1-2-3: Papoose. Pa-Poose! Let the children sing!

“I won’t apologize for not shakin’ nobody’s hand. I will not.”

Watch the Roc Boy once again address the way he handled the loss to Orlando and for the first time I’ve seen speak on being posterized at his own camp. You still mad, doggie?! Ha!

All of a sudden, the Pied Piper is everywhere. Here’s the R. Keri video. Plus the final official tracklisting. And fuck it, get your tickets to the fall tour. Not to mention the flossy festivities that went down last night in the Chi where all the Internet and magazine kings and queens were stripped of their phones and flip cams and invited into Kells’ mansion to hear the new album. Hopefully B.Dot won’t be too jet lagged to share his thoughts. 

Still, not everyone’s feelin’ warm and fuzzy about my man Toure’s finest interview.
