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.

“Get your chain tooken.”
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!

Seriously, who can keep up with all the fools in Weezy’s army. There’s the Drake and that hot girl that got the Internets in a frenzy. That’s it, that’s all, single, no more, no less. Ha! Have you even met Sylvia Rhone? Smh.
Seriously: Just a lil tough love from the old grumpy guy. Prove YN wrong, kids. I look forward to the comp in November. A lil’ greasy talk just might make your shit tighter.

Endless crazy Wu stories from the Chef. Sorry, I missed the event last night, but the rain had me shook. I’m sure some video will pop, up but Ming Tzu recorded the entire audio. He’s a great Asian man.
Props: Grand Good
Bonus: The Chef cooks up a medley with the Cypher. Dallas shot Shallah kickin’ the other MCs verses like he wrote ’em. Ill.

“Y’all make some noise for Belvedere one time.”
Ch-ching! This was all good and shot just a week ago. Jizzle gettin’ his pre-game America’s Most Wanted Tour set-list on. Hey the rain’s depressing, I could use a lil d-boy boost, how ’bout you?
Bonus: Da Snowman tries to save Ricky’s crew from mediocrity.
Today Tony Starks visited Shade 45’s Angela Yee and hilarity ensued. Super-producer DJ Wonder says:
Ghostface Killah came to help co-host The Morning After With Angela Yee and little did we know the jewels he would drop…
Talking about how his graphic novel came about:
“I don’t give a fuck…Show me the money!”
On some of his talents:
“…I wasn’t smackin? (Angela- “No, you’re a good gum chewer.”) I am a good gum chewer though!”
And the most controversial topic of the day – Men and Women being equal:
“This is what’s wrong with our people and shit. They put our women
equal to men….We not equal! And that’s coming from me nigga! We not
equal, I came first!”

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.
