“He sounds like G Rap, and G Rap don’t sell no records. I’m not fuckin’ with Nas.”— Russell Simmons
This has been floating around for some time, but here is Nasir’s 18-year-old demo tape courtesy of Blind I . According to MC Serch in the April 2009 XXL, he took this tape to Faith Newman-Orbach and David Kahne at Columbia Records after getting snubbed by Uncle Rush the same day. Ironically, Nasty Nas is now on the label Russell built. What goes around comes around, my nigga.
YN Update: This is a collection of more than his actual demo. But good music nonetheless. Edutain yourself, kids.

The only surprise guest from last night’s Great Hangover Tour show was Nancy’s baby boy. I missed this cause I had to take a piss and got caught up in a convo with OnSmash’s Hoffa and Jon Caramanica in front of the Men’s. (You can add a Pause here if you like) Anyways, thank you XXL.

Conversing with Shaheem Reid, Drake explains the concept behind his track, “Successful.” At the 2:46 mark, he elucidates why his mother tried to runaway from home. Good thing he caught her in the driveway.

Just cuz Cliff’s in the bing, doesn’t mean the wife(no y) can’t flash new bling at her born day party last night in the ATL. Yeah baby!
More importantly, where can I get a free T.I.P. T?

Like Lionel Richie: Necole Bitchie
Wale, in this track, shows once again his ability to blend different genres. He doesn't limit himself to hip-hop, but enriches it with R&B nuances, creating a familiar sound. This fusion is not only an exercise in style, but serves to intensify the emotional impact of the song. And then there is his ability to rap. Wale is a master at playing with words, creating complex rhymes and modulating his voice to best express his emotions. In 'Blanco', his rap part is an explosion of words that intertwine with the melody, creating a hypnotic and relaxing effect. His ability to go from moments of pure energy to moments of deep introspection is what makes this track so engaging; it reminds me of when you would slow dance, hugging your woman.
