The new owners of VIBE deliver the 5th anniversary of their other magazine. And who’s more worthy to grace it than this ATL fella under the umbrella. But does anyone really think Usher’s gonna put out an album anytime soon? With Kells about to catch a brick, the R&B game could use it. Props: Straight From The A

[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.866616&w=425&h=350&fv=%26rel%3D0%26border%3D0%26] The Double R fucks wit’ Regis, but I didn’t know this show was still on the air. Watch Snoop Dogg win 50K for his Youth Football League charity by guessing the character’s name from the Watchmen. Yup, I never watched that either. Props: Broken Cool Whatchu know about Rorshach?

Uh-oh, looks like Kamaal’s calling on Bloomberg’s countrymen to put an end to his incumbency this November. According to Tip’s Twitter account, he gripes that the Mayor is going to “turn the city into the office for rich folk and kick out the middle class/poor folks.” When you consider the gentrification of neighborhoods in Harlem and Brooklyn, Tip isn’t completely off his rocker. Hell the price for a one bedroom in, could feed a third world country. Transportation fare’s up, […]

NBA commissioner, David Stern made a trip uptown with The New York Times to a local barbershop. Holding court, Stern talked about the leagues dress code policy, age limits, and Ron Ron’s Malice At The Palace.

[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.866620&w=425&h=350&fv=%26rel%3D0%26border%3D0%26] This guy’s really goin’ hard lately. He even dug out his old Arsenio Hall footage. Shad was born to do this, fool! And yo Toure, I think he apologized: “I’m on BET actin’ an asshole/ Fightin’ with the interviewers, why do that, ‘fo?/ I can’t lie, I was drugged out/ Sippin’ syrup, smokin’ weed, shit had me bugged out.” Just say, No!

Now this is clever. Shake put together no DJ versions of some of his favorite vintage Bobby Ray tracks. A must listen for this who aren’t super familiar with all of dude’s catalogue. The title is a dig at Atlantic. Take that! Ha! Download here. All Praises Due: 2 Dope Boyz

Outta the way Usher. Yesterday, the Black Eyed Peas broke Mr. Raymond’s record for the longest consecutive stay at the top of the Billboard charts. Eclipsing “Burn” and “Yeah!”,  B.E.P.’s “Boom Boom Pow” and “I Gotta Feeling” have collectively reached number one for 20 weeks. I’m far from a fan, but that’s one helluva of an accomplishment. I’m sure [insert your favorite rappa here] would sell their soul publishing to achieve that level of success. With that said, check out […]

[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.866625&w=425&h=350&fv=%26rel%3D0%26border%3D0%26] It’s not that Yayo can’t stop; it’s just that he won’t stop pumping out new videos. In fact, here’s the latest from his upcoming Gangsta Grillz mixtape, Gangsta Paradise. No Coolio cameos here.

“2 lines of coke that I cut with Drano.”

After hearing this, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. T-Double-D kicks his “I Can’t Feel My Face” flow and breaks down the perils of drug usage. Produced by Mr. Lollipop, Jim Jonsin, the track got that rolling bass and is supposedly off the upcoming Off The Shit That I Live mixtape.
