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 […]

“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.

Fresh off wrappin’ up Hov’s opus, No I.D. plays Big Sean some rejected BP3 tracks. Ha! Just playin’. This beat is actually dope and open enough for you Internet MCs to get your rhyme on over it. Fuckin’ thieves. RAP!

According to ESPN, Cheddar Bob Plaxico agreed to sit his dumb ass in prison for the next two years. The former NY Giants star shot himself in a N.Y. nightclub last year. After his release he will have have two years of supervision. No sympathy here. You do the crime, you do the time. Besides, everyone knows NYC’s super strict when it comes to weapons possession. Shoot, if the D.A. has their way, Ja and Wayne will be sharing a cell pretty soon.
