This afternoon, Raekwon returned to the “Coliseum Block” (165th St & Jamaica Ave) in Queens for an in-store signing of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II. Coincidentally, Rae shot “Ice Cream” on the same strip 14 years ago. Literally taking a trip down memory lane, Rae talks about his connection to the Q-Boro.

No, “Yes Men” here. Guru admits to telling Hov his opinion on his records. In fact, he says Jay switched his verses on “Already Home” and “Forever Young.” Good luck on finding those, leakers.

Sidebar: Pardon the low audio. Squeeze the juice out your headphones/speakers.

Shouts to my political connects fro sending this over. Grab a chair and peep the new visual from Bad Azz’s Superbad. A cup of thug passion Grey Goose makes everything alright.

In the final clip, Boosie flaunts his wealth and justifies his flamboyance. Superbad drops September 15th.
