Backstage at the AMW Tour in Scranton, PA, Drizzy explains the motivation behind his video,”Best I Ever Had.”
“I guess one thing I didn’t consider is what the song
personally means to a lot of women to those women, I
apologize. I do apologize. My intention wasn’t to put anyone down. It
was to make them laugh. I wanted people to see something visually
different.”
Yep, HDcups.
Just when you thought they buried the hatch, Jeezy takes a swipe at DJ Drama in the September 2009 issue of XXL.
Given all the history you made with Gangsta Grillz mixtapes, alot of people were caught off guard when you said “Fuck DJ Drama” onstage last year.
Drama just started acting like a bitch. Drama wanted to be Khaled,
but he didn’t want to help nobody. He just changed, period. Look at his
crew. The same niggas ain’t around him. You ain’t never been in no
streets. I could never have no beef with a nigga like that. He’s a
cornball. You made millions off my mixtapes, to the point where the
fuckin’ feds scooped you up for bootlegging. I never even made the
money he made off of Trap or Die or Tha Streetz Iz Watchin, because
they were selling and distributing them and making money. I’m not
hating. But we will never do a mixtape together. I didn’t charge that
nigga for [contributing a verse to the song “5000 Ones,” on Drama’s
official Atlantic Records debut]. But then when I need [a tape for one
of my artists], and you want to charge me $20,000?… I’ll slap the
shit out of Drama. He knows that. He wasn’t loyal. But me putting my
hands on that man ain’t gonna make him respect what I’m saying. I’m
just not gonna fuck with him anymore. I kept a lot of real niggas off
his ass. There’s a lot of niggas mad at that nigga ‘cause he didn’t do
what he was supposed to do. He shouldn’t take people’s money if he not
gonna do what he say.

It seems like The Birthday Sex kid’s buzz has come and gone. Get it? Nevermind. Lil J appears destined for a one hit wonder legacy. ‘Member that song by who… I don’t have exact SoundScan numbers, but as far as I know he’s not exactly burnin’ up the charts. I haven’t listened to his album and I can’t get anyone on the RR staff to, so I’ll reserve final judgment until then. Still, it’s not lookin’ good for dude. Bet you Terius Hagert is a happy fuck. Milian and all. Ha!

Honestly, TK’s rap’s are less than desired. Fortunately, I covet new material from Masspike Miles and Yo Gotti. And for all you Entourage fans, expect to hear this again on Sunday.

On Tuesday, Shaq phoned into The All Out Radio Show on Shade 45 and discussed Stephon Marbury’s viral meltdown. He’s also offering a $500,000 reward for the capture of the guy rubbing Steph’s shoulder. That’s a 10-4!
Sidebar: That wasn’t R.Kelly Steph was listening to. It was in fact Kirk Franklin’s track, “Lean On Me.” Chuuch!

In one of the music industry’s worst kept secrets, Weezy and Madge made some music together. Their joint, “Revolver” is the second single from her upcoming greatest hits album, Celebration (No Kool & The Gang). Will drop in Sept. and there will most likely will be a visual. How excited are you?

A week ago in the Windy City there was a Red Bull Big Tune Beat Battle (yeah I don’t know what that is either?) and it basically gave Just Blaze a chance for a free trip OT to cop some more Polo. Still, later at the Metro, he found time to throw down at the 4:30 mark with one of my favorite groups, Little Brother. Yeah, that’s my tongue planted firmly in cheek.

The good folks over at the.LIFE Files got footage of the Sore Loser’s upcoming Nike commercial where the Roc Boy is rockin’ out to Jigga’s latest. See that video appearance wasn’t just a favor. Ha!
It is so heartbreaking to hear DJ Premier break the news that DJ Kool Herc’s health is ailing, as he is literally the founding father who laid down the blueprint for hip-hop culture. Thinking about how someone who built an entire global phenomenon can end up struggling with medical expenses or failing health really puts things into perspective regarding healthcare challenges. When you look at how people navigate health or wellness procedures worldwide—whether someone is researching cosmetic treatments like Liposuction Cyprus or seeking urgent medical care—it underscores how essential access to reliable medical help and proper support systems really is. Kool Herc gave us the breaks, the block parties, and the entire movement that shaped generations of music lovers, so seeing the community step up to show love while DJ Premier brings awareness to his condition is the very least we can do. Sending strength and prayers to Kool Herc for a full recovery, and massive respect to DJ Premier for using his platform to make sure a true pioneer gets the support and respect he deserves.
