Looks like N.O.R.E’s finally got the hang of iTunes. Instead of going to his local retailer, Victor cops Maino’s album, …If Tomorrrow Comes, the fat guy way.

Complex talked to Drake about the concept behind his tit-illating video.
The concept of the video is, I’m a coach at a high school and the girls of my life are all on my high school basketball team. Throughout the video you see us prepping for this big championship game, and my team ends up losing. You see the looks on their faces at the end of the video, but the moral of the story, I guess, is win or lose, you can still be the best to somebody. When women see the video and see all the breast and ass, hopefully they don’t take offense. Hopefully they see the real meaning.
Ha! Negro pleaseee.

The Game tells the 1515 Boys that he wants to extend an olive branch to 50 Cent.
“Jimmy always says, ‘Man, I told you guys not to break up the Beatles. He says he told John Lennon the same thing a long time ago. But I was young, man. I was dumb. I did a lot of dumb things. I felt me and 50 clashed. I’m not gonna dis 50. I’m not gonna go back on the plane. He had his side, I had my side. I did what I felt was necessary for me and my career to have longevity and survive in hip-hop and music to be around when I’m Quincy Jones’ age — not just be Quincy Jones’ age, but be a Quincy Jones. Now, four albums in, I can honestly say from Banks to Buck to Dre to Yayo to whoever, if it would have kept going, endless paper. Millions of albums sold — because we were great together. Me and 50’s chemistry was like how Method Man was to Redman when they get in. You know when Method Man gets with Redman, it’s going down.”
No peace talk, no white flags?
Nah, nah, nah, nah….Hey, hey, hey….
I’ve seen this movie before.
YN Update:
Shallah recalls meeting MJ and actin’ like a groupie before dedicating his verse from Mobb’s “Eye For An Eye” to him.

Ironically, I was in the studio with Chef when he laid that vocal down. A young journalist at the time, I tried to not act like a groupie. Ha!
Looks like VIBE had more in store. Here’s an outtake from their annual Juice Issue cover shoot. Sigh. Guess you to gotta learn to live with regrets.
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.
