New Music: Jay Rock “The Takeover”
alt

Looks like Jay Rock is taking Freeway’s approach by releasing 30 new freestyles in 30 days. As much as I dig new tracks from Rock, I’ve always found that flooding the market drains my excitement for future material. Give a little; but make a big impact. With that said, here’s his first installment over Jigga Man’s  “Takeover”.

Kanye West Compares Fame To Obesity?
alt

The hot ticket last night in NY was for a private Casio G-Shock party held at Cipriani (that’s where all the cool rich industry guys grub at). Kanye West performed an entire concert and there was a lot of security trying to prevent people from flip caming or takin’ flicks. Still some stuff is already twinklin’ out and I’ll be on the hunt today for more. Oh yeah, Tabloid Prodigy says a fashion scribe named Danica Lo shot the above photo and attributes that the quote was said during one of Ye’s rants during his show. They also snagged the entire set list. Good job!

Spotted: Dre

Update: Mr. West did his verse from “Run This Town”! Footage kids. Where’s the footage? And Twitter’s down. Fuck Thursday.

Fat Joe Interview (Cipha Sounds & Rosenberg)

Joe Crack gives an exclusive radio interview to Hot 97’s new morning show to defend himself even further against the accusations from Big Pun’s widow. Liza called up immediately after. Big shock. Trying to get audio. Props to Peter Elliot for sending this.

Ghostface Wants To Make An Album With MJB

[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.886007&w=425&h=350&fv=configParams%3Duri%253Dmgid%253Auma%253Avideo%253Amtv.com%253A424786] 

GFK has an interesting idea involving the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul:

“We got the ill chemistry together,” said Ghost, on the set of his “Baby” video in Harlem. “I love Mary. I hope one day we could … get together and just make an ill classic. Some Peaches & Herb. [Hip-hop editor’s note: Google that group!] We just hop in real quick. Just one go-round, a one-off. That’s just fly.”

Sitting in his tour bus, parked across the street from Rucker Park, Ghost was also thinking about collaborating with some other R&B greats. His past R&B collaborations are highlighted on the new J-Love mixtape The Wizard Is Coming.

“That was when we was in Cali at that time,” Ghost thought back to his guest appearance on Mary’s “Your Child” remix. “I remember Mary wanted me to do that for her real quick. I did two of them [verses]. The other verse wasn’t all right. I think [the verse that made the song] might have been eight bars. Those were the days. I was stuck a little bit.” 

Great in theory, but um, it’s not gonna happen. I don’t want to put people’s personal biz out there, but I’m sure Kendu ain’t havin’ that.

New Video: DJ Paul “Fuck Boy”/”I’m Drunk (Remix)”

[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.886455&w=425&h=350&fv=]

“I’ma tell you what you is boy.”

How’d I miss this one???!! Fuckin’ love the title. You know I love the title! Ah, it’s a wrap at 1:45. Ugh. I don’t need no Lil Wyte in my life. I got Bud Light. And I’m drinkin’ responsibly. Wink wink. Oh now this fuckin’ guitar part is strange as shit. Ha! And he threw the Thriller laugh at the end. Smh.

Still: I need more “Fuck Boy”! A Thousand Pauses.

Sidebar: Have refused to download any of this new Three 6 Mafia stuff, is it any good? They ain’t been the same since they copped the Oscar and I’m still tight about that terrible reality show. Where’s the fake Rosenberg? Ha!

Mariah Carey “Obsessed” (Live On America’s Got Talent)

“I don’t care what nobody says, that song is about me.”

The fight is fixed. Nick Cannon’s wife performs Em’s favorite song on his TV show. Let’s see: Six big Black back-up dancers lifting her up and down. Occasional use of signature high squeal. A lil’ subliminal jab by Mr. Drumline at the end. Did he call her his soulmate? Did she grab his ass? New improved Sonny & Cher?

Miss Gucci Mane tho, mang.

New Music: Black Rob “Infinite”
br-rapradar.com

Here’s some new material from the games most underrated. Is it just me, or does it seem as if BR resurfaced outta nowhere. No big announcement. No welcome home party. No Making His Band appearance. Nada. Guess you don’t need the exposure when you’re a star in the hood.

“I don’t like looking directly at the camera.”

Five months ago at the SXSW music festival, Cudi vents after explaining his reasons for wanting to retire once he drops his debut album. Now, scram camera man!
