Times must be hard on the boulevard. According to the letter, C-Murder is asking folks to donate a thousand big ones to help pay his legal fund. This can’t be life. Last time I checked, wasn’t your brother King Tut Master P on MTV Cribs with marble floors and swimming pools? The NAACP shout was a nice touch at the end though.

As a former kingpin of the print world, I can admit we sometimes go overboard with the multiple cover thing. This appears to be a prime example. You don’t believe me? Hit the button below and peep Mr. Alcohol’s other 2 looks. Just make a decision!
I thought I break all the Wale’s songs? Smh. Ok the song’s about strip clubs? You’re forgiven, Mr. Akintimehin.

Note: Wale leaked it himself on his Twitter. Hey it’s Follow Friday! Get him!

Also hittin’ the Internets while some were sleep is what is sure to be the most talked-about segment of the This Is Jim Jones documentary. Oh boy! Boy! Get your fingernails dirty and watch how it all, it all falls down.

This leaked last night and it’s one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a minute. Seriously Ricky and Curtis need to take this on the road like Jomo’s play. I gotta say I’m sorry to the Bawse for prank callin’ him and pretending I was Nelson from G-Unit. I was just havin’ a lil fun. Ha! Or maybe it was this funny guy? LOL.
I think Ricky was just grumpy cause they wouldn’t let him and his boys into Sue’s the night before. And who’s on this Mafia Music Remix he keeps hypin’ up. All I know is Ja Rule‘s on it. That’s nothing to get excited about.

Who says Black people have no place anymore in America’s pastime. Word on the curb is Lupe Fiasco and his buddy Matthew Santos are gonna make some of that “Superstar” magic (what year is this?) at the Chicago White Sox home opener on Monday Apr. 6. Buy me a flip cam and Cracker Jacks.

In a three part series, DJ Quik speaks to Hardknock TV on the state of the game. Relax and take notes, whippersnappers.
On working with artists
“Some of them I work with. Some of them they dont have it. You got to tell the truth.”
Gangsta Rap
“The gangbanging thing is trite. It’s done. It’s brunt. Gangsta Rap was like New Jack Swing, it ran its course, fuck it leave it alone. Do some other shit.”
Dr. Dre’s Detox
“All the anticipation is driving everybody crazy. And I heard some of it. It’s hot record. But it’s like you know, is he going to put it out or not?”
After the jump, check out parts two and three.

It’s a long complicated story but the finale of T.I.’s Road To Redemption didn’t air Tuesday night as scheduled due to technical difficulties. The producer of the show, Michael Hirschorn (the man also behind the ego trip shows) explains what went wrong here. True story: I would always worry something like this would happen to our shows. You do so much editing last minute you never know if something’s gonna go wrong.
Wiping the pie off their faces, MTV is gonna air the show on April 7 at 9 pm EST. I know my nigga Sway is tight. Ha!

Raekwon’s new track “Travel Places” hits different—smooth flow, vivid storytelling, and beats that take you places. Listening while planning a getaway, I couldn’t help thinking about Volcano National Park Lodging. This song makes me want to pack up, book a cozy stay, and explore new spots.
