The young MC with the world in a frenzy declares his love for the tabloid rags’ priority number one. Why Rick Ross it homie? When you lie to Peter Rosenberg, you lie to yourself. Ha!
Thanks, Yo: Miss Info
Update:
So there’s a Brianna and a Rihanna? That’s bugged.
“I believe the public builds entertainers up to destroy them for the sake of entertainment.”
On the set of his movie Twelve, the actor Curtis Jackson talks about holding back his tears. But, he does cry the blues about the state of the game and the gift and the curse of havin’ to match his successful debut.

This disturbing clip leaves YN with a lot of questions:
Why is he shoutin’ at us?
Why is the mic so loud?
Why didn’t DMX do any sit-ups in the clink?
Why is the nigga on skates and who is his skating posse?
What is B.F.W. (Built For War)?
Can dude prove he can still rap on this “Who’s Real” remix?
Sidenote: I’d being shocked if the dog doesn’t come out to perform it at Hot 97 Summer Jam.

Reading this New York Times article on Em and ran across this random revelation:
In the five years between his own albums, he worked as a producer, making beats for other rappers, and occasionally showed up as a guest rapper; he now calls his verse on “Touch Down,” with the Atlanta rapper T.I., “horrible.”
Hey, don’t be so hard on yourself, Marshall.
Plus: Dre admits Slim is a stubborn mule when it comes to changing his words.
“Once he makes a painting, once he lays a lyric down, it’s impossible to get him to change it,” Dr. Dre said. “If there’s a couple of lines he says on a record that’s not relevant today, it’s, ‘No, that was that painting. That was for that moment.’ “
XXL has confirmed that Joe Budden’s supergroup, Slaughterhouse has inked up with Koch E1 Music. What a shocker like Silkk. Album due in July. Don’t expect any guest appearances from Method Man, Redman and Busta Rhymes. Old joke. Ha!

Everyone is goin’ nuts on the ‘Nets about this, but honestly, I don’t even see the big deal. She wanted to battle and then she took a cheap shot at dude. Anyone can get swung on, especially when you don’t expect it. If anything, if I were Chuck, I would have made sure I left with the footage. Or give everyone a heads up that it was coming before we saw it. Wonder what happened after?
CH hits YN on G Chat in 5… 4… 3… 2…
Update: Eskay Says Chuck said that’s his assistant. Crystal, don’t get any ideas! And isn’t ole girl somebody famous’ step daughter. I’d tell you who but I don’t want shortie lookin’ for me. Ha!
It is interesting to look back at this discussion because the concerns about technology becoming a barrier to real communication have only become more noticeable over time. Messages are quick and convenient, yet they often cannot communicate tone, emotion, or intention as clearly as a real conversation. Technology itself is not necessarily the problem, but how we choose to use it matters. Even something as simple as a Basic Calculator shows how useful technology can be when it solves a practical problem without replacing meaningful human connections and conversations.
