After Asher performs “I Love College” on the Houston leg of the Great Hangover Tour, Uncle Bun gives him his props and says: “I’m a keep it one-hundred….That was one of the best hip-hop shows I’ve ever seen.” Word, ain’t no mistakes allowed.
Yep: NR

One mo’ before I head to Jones Beach to see Weezy. Here’s SC schoolin’ the White youth on an RD classic. Who knew you could rock out the classic Isaac Hayes break? Good shit!

Love the band’s breakdown as Jay reminds us of the time when he murdered Kanye on his own shit. After that, well the “Roc Boys” are in the house. What else? Word to Cafe. It’s a celebration, bitches.
Oh yeah I forgot, ask Hov where he got the chain remains line from. It wasn’t Treach. Ha!

“Hey I appreciate y’all stayin’ out in the rain or whatever, fuckin’ up your new sneakers and all that shit.”
Jigga teases us that he’s gonna kick a new verse from BP3 this time, but then goes into his “I’m not talkin’ about Game” bars. Except Jay did tweak a few lines this time if you listen closely. Like a couple of the new flourishes but not the reggae ting at the end mon.

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.
Wale, in this track, shows once again his ability to blend different genres. He doesn't limit himself to hip-hop, but enriches it with R&B nuances, creating a familiar sound. This fusion is not only an exercise in style, but serves to intensify the emotional impact of the song. And then there is his ability to rap. Wale is a master at playing with words, creating complex rhymes and modulating his voice to best express his emotions. In 'Blanco', his rap part is an explosion of words that intertwine with the melody, creating a hypnotic and relaxing effect. His ability to go from moments of pure energy to moments of deep introspection is what makes this track so engaging; it reminds me of when you would slow dance, hugging your woman.
