In a stirring opener on par with his Oasis shocker at Glastonbury, Hov paid tribute to MCA and the Beastie Boys (who he replaced on this show) with a remake of a classic from Licensed to Ill. It was a cover performance Hip Hop Honors wish they could have. Ha! Good job, Hov. Hey Village Voice, he was listening.
I’ll put my footage up against anybody’s. No shots.

No Kanye. No Ri-Ri. No problem? Still not a big fan of this joint but cool to see Jay perform a new song for the first time.
When it comes to this rap website shit, who run it?
A developing story, but apparently Drake injured himself at a Young Money concert show last night. Miss Info has some details. More in the morning.
Props to Divine Davy for the TwitPic and THExKM1 for sending it to me.
Update: From the man himself.

While Joe discuses the possibility of having a mistress, his girlfriend Tahiry, divulges on getting punched in the face by the hands of some guy. Perhaps they both agreed on sharing this with the world, but I believe some things are best kept private. Why be exploitative for the sake of a couple hundred YouTube views? Sorry Joey, but if my ol’ lady came home with an eye jammie, a Flip Cam definitely wouldn’t be the first thing I’m reaching for.

After paying homage to the King, Tony Starks and The Chef perform Track 5 off Enter The 36 Chambers. Sigh. Everybody talkin’ bout the good ol’ days.
Drama, the floor is yours:
After reading Jeezy’s unprovoked insults in that XXL article, it seems
like the guy’s pretty emotional if u ask me! Maybe he’s dealing wit
some things in his career, I don’t know. He did an interview a few
months back with Elliott Wilson on rapradar.com and said the total opposite! He was talkin bout, “Drams the homie and
we may work together again, etc”. Now I’ve never spoken on our issues
because I believe grown man business is just that, and running to the
media to whine is not my thing.
Most importantly, his statement about me trying to charge him $20k for
a mixtape is a BOLD FACE LIE. I never charged Jeezy for nuthin’. I did
2 Slick Pulla tapes (4th Ward Day, Election Day) for free and a
Bloodraw tape (The Indictment Papers) for free. Anything Jeezy ever
needed from me, I did without hesitation. He doesn’t want to deal with
the real reason why he’s mad.
The tension between us actually started when I deejayed his USDA
release party (FOR FREE) and I played a Gucci Mane record. He stormed
out of his own party and didn’t speak to me for about 2-3 months. Me
being a DJ, I was just rockin’ the crowd and giving the people what
they had been requesting. I don’t get involved in that other stuff.
I could go deeper into his angry reaction to me working with Gucci but,
again, I’m a stand-up guy. I’m loyal to those who are loyal to me. I’m
not even thinkin bout Jeezy. Why all the tough talk to the dj who
doesn’t say nothin to him but he doesn’t say nothin tough to the
rappers that diss him like Pimp C?
I was shocked by his cowardly attempt to try to slander my name in the
upcoming XXL article. And what’s the most shocking is to see him side
with the FEDs in my arrest! Wow, since when did that become gangster?!?
I’m chillin, never said nuthin’ negative about dude. Check his
character…or better yet, ask those around him that he’s done dirty.
Ask the folks who ain’t with him anymore, like Coach K, Twin, his
former security Big Sam, or my homie Roccett…
We doin’ our thing over here. I’m workin on albums, Gangsta Grillz Vol
3., traveling the world and celebrating success! And I’m still the
Mixtape President!
KANYE’S RIGHT. CITATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION, RUINS THE NATION. GET IT TOGETHER BLAWGA’S.
Peer your head from behind the curtain and peep Ghost’s show last night at the Nokio Theater in NYC. Before running through his set, The Wally Champ perfroms verses from Big Baby Jesus and Inspectah Deck. Afterwards, he brings out Lex Diamonds and rock “C.R.E.A.M.”, “Incarcerated Scarfaces”, and “Run.” Stay put, more clips in the can.
Don’t expect to see this on Billboard’s digital charts next week. Nonetheless, I’ll let Loki tell it:
“The album was leaked already so I’m really just putting it out there for the people who didn’t really get a chance to hear it, There’s some extra records on there that I put on there that I didn’t necessarily record for The Mirror and there are a couple of records that were recorded for The Mirror but didn’t leak. A lot of people didn’t hear a lot of the records, so if you’re not a die-hard Ja Rule fan, then you probably didn’t hear a lot of the records or not at all…You gotta understand, The Mirror was made almost three years ago now so there’s a couple of jabs on The Mirror, I ain’t gonna front.”
I’m sure of it. Download here. Tracklist after the jump
