Somewhere in my hip-hop treasure trove, I have another variation of this image as a Hard Knock Life Vol. 2 promo poster. Taking a trip down memeory lane, Jon gives the skinny on the shoot and how Jigga’s royal blue Bentley crushed the block—and ego’s.

Last night was the opening of celebrity photographer Johnathan Mannion‘s three week long exhibition at the Milk Gallery in New York City. For 15 years, he’s captured some of hip-hop’s most iconic images. Above, he gives the story behind The Notorious B.I.G.’s photograph at the Palladium. More footage on the way.

In the clip, Raekwon’s shot another video for “New Wu” featuring Method Man and Ghostface Killah. This time around, Dennis couldn’t make it so Noreaga, Teyanna Taylor and Joell Ortiz got their close up’s instead.

Travis Barker knows how to party like a rock star.  After all, he’s had on the job training as the drummer for Blink 182. But truthfully, the So Cal native’s a hardcore hip-hop head. In fact, he’s fiddled his sticks for P.Diddy, Soulja Boy and The Game. More recently, he was commissioned to remix Eminem’s “3 A.M.”. Trav phoned in with Rap Radar to discuss how the project came to fruition.

The homie Peter Rosenberg’s Hot 97 Who’s Next series was extra packed and star-studded last night with Drake as the headliner. Still and all that didn’t stop YN from bumrushing the backstage area and gettin’ his flip cam on. Hey who could stop me? Dude at the end I didn’t like too tough, we might have to have a nice conversation next time I see him.

Sidebar: The host also accosted Drake and surprise guest, Mr. West.

Last night, NYC radio station Z100 held their annual Zootopia concert and featured The Fergettes The Black Eyed Peas. Backstage, William gave me the 411 on those damn “Boom Boom Pow” remixes.
