This afternoon, I finally found time to quickly thumb through this Chronic re-issue. I really hate the way Tha Row recycles the same classic product over and over and over again. Still, the promise of seven unreleased tracks was enough to intrigue me. Well, I shouldn’t have bothered. I especially don’t like the way they butchered the Snoop joint, “Poor Young Dave” with some cheesy-ass baseline added on top. So I dug in my digital crates, and here you go, […]

Time to wave goodbye. Today, a New Jersey judge threw the book at Max B and sentenced the crooner to 75 years in jail in connection to a murder and robbery four years ago. Max’s stepbrother was sentenced to LIFE plus 35 years for his role in the crime. Props: NJ

Lloyd explains why he asked for his release from The Inc. He says that his label wasn’t returning his calls nor has he spoken to Irv in over a year. Props to Lloyd for taking his career in own hands. Sometimes if you want something done, you got it do it yourself. And if Street Love was any indication of that, he’s headed on the right path. That album was muy bueno.

From the pages of the October 2009 XXL, Jigga tells Bonsu Thompson that he’s not feeling Jimmy’s track. Understood, but you’re one of the few rappers whose movement is still followed by artists old and young. How conscious are you of that position? …Like I said, if the genre needs the game to be stretched out, ‘cause you have those guys who are 35 years old trying to make the smiley face or whatever, competing with Soulja Boy. Ha! That’s […]

Jay says his next album won’t be chart at number one because of its, um, diversity. Don’t do it, Hov. Reconsider! We need more “So Ghetto‘s” and less “Ghetto Techno‘s”. I can’t do it. © Bill O’Reilly Props: 1515
