While promoting his upcoming Crips and Bloods documentary with the homie DJ Skee, Baron Davis reveals that your boy Jayceon Taylor is a butcher on that basketball court. No wonder he doesn”t get no burn in them NBA celebrity games. Ha!

“All them dudes that talk about retirement and shit—God bless ’em. I’m not one of them dudes. When you’re in this business as long as me, you’re gonna retire to do what? I love what I do so much, I don’t foresee retirement ever. I’m probably gonna be one of the first muthafuckas on some Quincy Jones shit. I want to be able to put out a Q’s Jook Joint when I’m 65 years old.”

I hear you Bussa-Bus. No beach chair for YN either. Ha!

During his UK media blitz, Slim Shady sat down with one of the biggest shows out there, Friday Night With Jonathan Ross. He also performs “We Made You” with Kon Artis as his hype man.

From what I’m told, this is La Flare’s first official mixtape since his release from the clinker last March. I wonder if that collabo with Spencer Pratt‘s ever going to come into fruition. Ah well, wishful thinking. Tracklist after the jump.

In my humble opinion, this is the only listenable song off this legendary group’s latest project with Nike. It’s not always about postin’ music—just because it’s new. At Rap Radar, we occasionally put up new music we personally co-sign. You might wanna try that sometime.

New York interviews Nasir’s ol’ man, Olu Dara. Father always knows best.

He also raps about you, most notably on “Poppa Was a Player.”

Oh, I heard that in the street one day. Years ago, I was walking down
