Shawty Lo’s Down With The King

Here is a pic of T.I. and Shawty Lo backstage at Young Jeezy’s concert at the Philips Arena in the ATL last night. Shawty Lo looks thrilled to be friends with T.I. again and almost has this, “Ok he likes me now…I better be careful” look on his face. For some reason, this photo reminds me of the one featuring The Game and the guy that got knocked out by the barber:

Run-DMC’s Secret Weapon
Larry Smith RapRadar.com

With all the hoopla and the emotional speeches, Run-DMC and company forgot to thank a producer who played a huge role in building their sound. Larry “King of The Beats” Smith is the most underrated trackmaster of all time. He crafted classics for Darryl and Joe (“It’s Like That,” “Sucker MC’s,” “Rock Box”), Whodini (“Friends,” “Five Minutes of Funk,” “Freaks Come Out At Night”) and Maino’s “Hi Haters” jacked his Jimmy Spicer hit “Money (Dollar Bill Y’all).” You kids got a lot to learn and I have to teach. Ha!

Uncle Rush does a do-over for his old friend after the jump.

New Video: Air Yeezy: Beyond The Hype

Here is Davy Greenburg’s documentary, Air Yeezy: Beyond The Hype. As the title suggest, the clip focuses on the release of Kanye’s Meteor Man’s  Air Yeezy sneakers. I don’t know about you, but camping out for a shoe is dumb. Better yet, camping out for a Kanye West shoe is even dumber. And at $215 a pop, I’d rather buy a pack of bogeys here in the city.

John Cena Gets Shady At Wrestlemania

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRS0Tog2ZsA]

I’m a wrestling fan (any slick ass comments about that and you’ll be receiving a Batista Bomb with the quickness) and while watching Wrestlemania 25 last night I noticed the WWE’s former white-boy rapper turned American hero John Cena channeled one Slim Shady for his ring entrance.

You’ll remember Eminem doing something very similar at the MTV Awards several years back. But instead of baseball caps and jean shorts, it was blonde hair and white tees:

Fun fact: John Cena raps better than both Flo-Rida and Charles Hamilton.

T.I. Breaks Down His Favorite Songs With MTV

MTV thumbed through Clifford’s catalouge and had him speak on their favorite tracks. 
 
“Still Ain’t Forgave Myself”

“[This song] was made on my first album. Man, I just had a lot of mixed

emotions about the things that I had done in my past and the things I

had kept quiet about in my past and watched my partners do. And I just

always have had a sense of … I always felt like I was the one that

could keep bad things from happening. And for the road that me and my

homies had traveled, it had gotten us to, you know, a state of fame and

celebrity, but it cost us a lot. I mean, one of my partners is doing

life in prison right now. A few of my partners died along the way. And

I felt like if I knew better and didn’t say nothing, then I was the one

to blame.”

 
Where’s, “Get Loose?!” This joint is phat. Pun intended.
