Busta’s lament? My ass! Fuck a Pause! Who says Trevor’s not still on top of the game? Hey, he’s got way more covers than Drake. Drizzy has zero. For now. Tick tock.

The hot ticket last night in NY was for a private Casio G-Shock party held at Cipriani (that’s where all the cool rich industry guys grub at). Kanye West performed an entire concert and there was a lot of security trying to prevent people from flip caming or takin’ flicks. Still some stuff is already twinklin’ out and I’ll be on the hunt today for more. Oh yeah, Tabloid Prodigy says a fashion scribe named Danica Lo shot the above photo and attributes that the quote was said during one of Ye’s rants during his show. They also snagged the entire set list. Good job!

Spotted: Dre

Update: Mr. West did his verse from “Run This Town”! Footage kids. Where’s the footage? And Twitter’s down. Fuck Thursday.

Joe Crack gives an exclusive radio interview to Hot 97’s new morning show to defend himself even further against the accusations from Big Pun’s widow. Liza called up immediately after. Big shock. Trying to get audio. Props to Peter Elliot for sending this.

GFK has an interesting idea involving the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul:

“We got the ill chemistry together,” said Ghost, on the set of his “Baby” video in Harlem. “I love Mary. I hope one day we could … get together and just make an ill classic. Some Peaches & Herb. [Hip-hop editor’s note: Google that group!] We just hop in real quick. Just one go-round, a one-off. That’s just fly.”

“That was when we was in Cali at that time,” Ghost thought back to his guest appearance on Mary’s “Your Child” remix. “I remember Mary wanted me to do that for her real quick. I did two of them [verses]. The other verse wasn’t all right. I think [the verse that made the song] might have been eight bars. Those were the days. I was stuck a little bit.” 

Great in theory, but um, it’s not gonna happen. I don’t want to put people’s personal biz out there, but I’m sure Kendu ain’t havin’ that.

“I’ma tell you what you is boy.”

How’d I miss this one???!! Fuckin’ love the title. You know I love the title! Ah, it’s a wrap at 1:45. Ugh. I don’t need no Lil Wyte in my life. I got Bud Light. And I’m drinkin’ responsibly. Wink wink. Oh now this fuckin’ guitar part is strange as shit. Ha! And he threw the Thriller laugh at the end. Smh.

Still: I need more “Fuck Boy”! A Thousand Pauses.

Sidebar: Have refused to download any of this new Three 6 Mafia stuff, is it any good? They ain’t been the same since they copped the Oscar and I’m still tight about that terrible reality show. Where’s the fake Rosenberg? Ha!

“I don’t care what nobody says, that song is about me.”

The fight is fixed. Nick Cannon’s wife performs Em’s favorite song on his TV show. Let’s see: Six big Black back-up dancers lifting her up and down. Occasional use of signature high squeal. A lil’ subliminal jab by Mr. Drumline at the end. Did he call her his soulmate? Did she grab his ass? New improved Sonny & Cher?

Miss Gucci Mane tho, mang.

Here’s some new material from the games most underrated. Is it just me, or does it seem as if BR resurfaced outta nowhere. No big announcement. No welcome home party. No Making His Band appearance. Nada. Guess you don’t need the exposure when you’re a star in the hood.

“You can take something and you can sell all the things around it.”

At a Planet Hip-Hop Wall Street Journal panel, Nas’ former manager and one of Jay-Z’s current biz partners, Steve “The Commissioner” Stoute recalls how signin’ the Fresh Prince and the ridiculous success of Men In Black showed him the unlimited potential to make scrilla outside the record business. Ray-Ban got fat while everybody starved. Ha!
