Shawty Lo gave the folks from 1515 Broadway a preview of his forthcoming release, I Am Wack Carlos. I can’t believe this guy is actually on album number two. *bury’s face in hands*

“And don’t forget the Puerto Rican niggas.”

How bout a lil old school for your Wed morn? And I’m not talkin’ 90’s throwback. I’m talkin old school. The real old school. The YN was in 3rd grade makin’ his mom go to J&R Music World to cop this silver and black 12-inch old school. You down with MP3 yeah you know me. But I still dig me some vinyl as the staff at the RR Mansion can attest. 

Anyways, here’s the Mighty Mike C!, MC President. If you only know this song from the way it was butchered on Jay-Z “Sunshine,” then you lost. Pardon my back!

Props: And it’s still Grand Good

Eric and Jeff stack chips like Hebrews (no shots) to reboost the economy and reunite former crews. 

Here is the second cut from Reggie and Clifford’s long delayed, Blackout 2!  *Hi-Five’s Def Jam* Now, let’s just see if the album drops sometime this decade. I’ll wait.

Kamaal just dropped his latest all-star rap remix on q-tip.com. If you’re not a member yet—you played yourself. Love the “Heartbreak Hotel” bridge replay in the mix. I’m ready for The Renaissance Deluxe Edition.

The homie Sha from MTV is at it again. He just put a tribute up of the last great R&B album. Has it really been 5 years since Usher changed the game with Confessions? Shit the first half of that album is still undisputed. “Yeah.” “Throwback.” “Confessions 2.” “Burn.” “Caught Up.” SMH. You can’t even compare it to the last train wreck he put out last year. As a wise man once told me, that shit was “difficult.” But shit, let me step out of the way and let Mr. Reid reflect:

Usher’s Confessions Still Holds Up After Five Years
