Nearly a week later, the station blazing hip-hop and R&B finally uploaded footage from the Band of Ballers game. Jimmy and The Jones Family took the chip. No need to say who took the “L”.

It’s deeper than Mad Max.
Director Anthony Mandler reveals the idea behind Jigga’s next visual:
“There’s a tone and feeling to the song, there’s a militia, a march and a kind of rambunctious energy to it that, for me, I immediately wanted to tap into. I showed [Jay] some references from the classic rebellious zones of the world. We live in very orderly society in America, but when you get into Brazil, you get into the Middle East, you get into Africa, you get into Eastern Europe, when you get into places like that, there’s a different sort of ‘we run this town’ [going on]. There’s less order and more chaos. So we looked at a lot of those references, new photos and historical photos, to capture that kind of falling-apart feeling.”
“We wanted you to feel uneasy throughout the piece,” he said. “We wanted there to be a constant layer of tension through the piece. Even in the way I shot — where the camera comes by Jay, it doesn’t stop on him, it goes to Rihanna — there’s kind of this chaos of revealing and covering and concealing. And things happen offscreen that you don’t see. I think people are really gonna flip on this.”
We better. Video drops tmw night at 8 EST on MTV.

Um, back in my day, we called this an EP. See: Show and AG/PR and CL.
That’s right, no Kanye clearances, Santigold or “Ignorant Shit” covers. Mr. You The Fuckin’ Best is hittin’ retail with just his very best on this reissue due Sept. 15th. These are the songs you hear on the radio ALL THE TIME. As you can see, “I’m Goin’ In” is even included. With no Jeezy? Don’t know about that. But at least we got the new “Fear” joint, hopefully it’s better than “The Winner.” I fucks with Tha Bizness but that track gives me the creeps.

“Shout out to Preme, I know he in the Feds throwing up.”
Ha! The talk of New York tells the 1515 Boys that 50 Cent and Mayor Bloomberg both agreed to cancel Fif’s performance at “40 Day” on August 30th. “40 Day” is an annual celebration for the South Jamaica Houses a.k.a 40 Projects (named after the elementary school, P.S. 40 across the street). Yayo, says the event will be memorable nonetheless. That is until the National Guard’s called in of course. It’s a Queens thing doofy.

Will all the chitter-chatter about the BP3 final tracklist, it reminds me of the stir that started when this ad first emerged for The Black Album. This woulda been a hell of a concept. Oh well.

Sidebar: We still haven’t got confirmation on the producers of the new songs. But of course, there’s a Wiki list. Let’s see if it holds up.

[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.866642&w=425&h=350&fv=%26rel%3D0%26border%3D0%26] “Ah man, that was alright.” I didn’t even know there was an “Exhibit B”. Now this is some good hip-hop shit. Dante and the hometown boy delivered this past Monday. Just watch. Spotted: NR Update: It’s “Exhibit A (Remix)”. Clear? Cool.

The clip features commentary from folks like 50 Cent, Russell Simmons, and Bill Adler. Seven years later and still no arrests? That sound’s stupid to me. Props: Bossip
[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.866643&w=425&h=350&fv=%26rel%3D0%26border%3D0%26] TMZ got some footage of Shaq in the ring with one of the greatest boxers of our time. If this is how Shaq’s reality show which debuted last night is, I might have to check it out. This is pretty entertaining.
Tyler really snapped with Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale! Every track feels like a personal Skup of emotions and raw vibes. The production is top-tier, and the added songs are pure gold. Definitely a must-listen for fans who appreciate lyrical depth and sonic experimentation.
