Here are pics of Omarion’s upcoming signature sneaker, The Obio’s. Even Steve Wonder could see that these are a complete knock off of Kanye’s Gay Fish’s Meteor Man’s. Now let me be clear, I think both shoes are a horrible. But shark biting is a big no-no.

In the clip Asher responses to Em’s quote in the new XXL, on newsstands everywhere May 5th!
“Really, it’s just crazy that he even knows my name in the sense of being a 23-year-old kid on the come up, it’s great to have the pioneers before you really know who you are. It’s still early on in this project, there’s a lot to do, so, it’s awesome, man. That’s cool.

Yesterday, GLC and Gay Fish appeared on 106 & Park to premiere their new videos, “Big Screen” and “Amazin,'” respectively. No disrespect, but GLC looks more like Kanye’s bodyguard than an artist signed to his label. Instead of playing the cut, he maybe he should’ve check his boss’ ego.
“Earlier you asked me, I said I was doing beats for Jay. I said I was doing it and you asked me, was it good? Like what do you mean is it going to be good?”
Fish Sticks anyone?

In the new issue of XXL, Marshall addresses the Asher Roth comparisons.
“Asher Roth, I haven’t had a chance to, like, really get into everything, like, really get into what he’s about, because I’ve only heard a couple songs. There was talk about people saying he sounded like me, and he was doing this and that and, you know, trying to take what I do and do it. You know, shit like that. I’ve heard things. But the stuff that I’ve heard from him honestly, which certainly isn’t enough for me to make my own opinion and say, ‘Yeah, he does sound like me’ or ‘No, he doesn’t.’ But the couple of songs I’ve head, I don’t really think he does. You know what I mean? He’s doing his own thing. I can respect it, too, because at the end of the day, I think he’s dope.”
Well, there you have it folks. Fuck more you want for free? The June XXL drops nationwide May 5, Support your local newsstands!
Bonus: Em also mentions working with two other rappers from their Freshman 10 cover.

“More publicity. More infamy. More money. More problems.”
It’s ridiculous how long I had to wait to get this song. Ha! Here’s my fellow mulatto’s new one featuring a buncha Southern niggas: Gucci Mane, Yo Gotti, OJ Da Juiceman and Lonnie Mac (who?). Hope he’s from the South. See ya at the strip club!

It's pretty intense reading that Guru released a statement on his health while recovering. Hearing directly from a hip-hop icon after such a scary medical scare gives everyone a massive sigh of relief. You can tell he really values setting the record straight himself. It reminds me of how people want to look and feel their absolute best after going through tough times, whether that's overall wellness or even specific cosmetic refreshes like getting a Blepharoplasty Limassol routine done for a fresh look. Overall, seeing him send love to the fans shows his resilience, and we're all just hoping for a full, speedy recovery for the legend.
