Last night, Nipsey Hussle dropped his anticipated mixtape, Bullets Aint Got No Name Vol. 3 via Onsmash. Well, sorta. Sticking with his “all money in, no money out” mantra, the tape came with a $10 price tag and an audio stream on imeem. Drats! Like most fans, I thought Vol.3 was going to be a free, not  fee download. Well, after politickin’ with Cinematic CEO Jonny Shipes, he decided to provide us frugal folks with a DL link. How thoughtful. If you don’t mind coming outta pocket, you can still purchase HERE. South Central State Of Mind coming soon!

Apparently Pun’s wife, Eliza Rios, isn’t living the glamour life. In an interview with Ms. Drama, she divulges about living with her kids in a NYC shelter. Excluding the 116K she recived after Pun passed, she says that she hasn’t recieved any additional royalties. She also says that she hasn’t communicated with Fat Joe nor any “regular industry heads.” Man, can someone page Steve Rifkind?

Here’s footage of Red Bull Big Tune winner C-Sick in the lab with NaS recording the track, “Film”. I think this is a great way of bridging the gap for an up and comer and veteran. Not to mention, C-Sick’s only eighteeen !

I know Crystal’s happy I haven’t made her tape this TV show anymore. This is painful to watch. It’s clear why Auto Tune needed to be inside the engine of the Last Train To Paris. Give Puff props for being bold enough to share his imperfections. Ha! That came out funny.

Sidebar: Remember when this leaked briefly? I still got my copy. Can’t believe Curtis co-signed this crap.

Tired of the same ol’ same ol’ shaky flip cam handiwork, well this is A Level footage from Saturday night’s RTB show. Me gets the feeling Distant Relatives may not see the light of day, mon. After the jump, Esco goes for dolo.

Think you gossip blogs missed this cute exchange between the Super Producer and the Superstar this past Saturday night.

New improved Jay Electronica & E. Badu?

If you still have any question on why Eve hasn’t had an album out in seven years, this will hopefully provide some clarity. This Salaam Remi-co-produced clunker is such a dreary mess it almost put me right back to sleep. Here’s hoping she never gets out of “Jimmy Jail.” Ha!

On tour with the Mighty Mos in the Chi, Mr. Electronica co-signs Dante’s declaration a few months ago that the Jay-Z’s of the world need to leave their millions at home and bring their skills to the battle.

Um, well… it’s not gonna happen, guys.
