Fresh from Shade 45, The Ratchet goes in with a 1,000 bars over Red Cafe and David Banner beats.
Sounds like you-know-who to me. Just think, a whole new generation of young MC’s inspired by Lil Wayne. Guess Weezy doesn’t have to impregnate every girl in the world to have a village of kids. The future’s bleek/bleak like Memphis. Ha!

Tony Neal, DJ Neal, and Derek Juan of the Core DJ’s speak on the importance of the DJ and breaking new artists.
I made this point a couple days on Twitter. I know everyone currently has a hard on for Drake, but I feel more DJ’s need to step up to the plate. The public eats whatever you feed them, and frankly, I’m malnourished. There are tons several emerging artists, like B.o.B., that sling good product but aren’t getting their just due. Video didn’t kill the radio star, so please, don’t butcher me with bad music.

Reggie speaks to Thisis50 on the new album, Blackout 2 and the delay of How High 2.
“We want How High 2 to come out. Universal do not not see it our way. Do a new movie for the fans out there. We can not call it How High 2. We can not use our charcters, Jamal and Silas. Basically, we have to come up with a whole new weed movie.”

Maybe I’m out the loop, but I didn’t know John Legend’s babe bro was a singer. Hell, I didn’t even know he had a brother. In any event, here he is performing this morning on Good Day New York. Off the vocals alone, you can tell their sprouted from the same gene pool.

Last night, Fif’s main squeeze homie appeared on Jimmy Kimmel’s nightly gig. That’s one flexible young lady.

Here’s the trailer for the upcoming flick, Precious. Based off the book, PUSH: A Novel, the film stars Mo’Nique and Nick Cannon’s babysitter wife, Mariah Carey. Looks promising.
Seeing Alicia Keys on Japanese television was such a treat! The performance had amazing energy and a unique vibe you don’t often catch outside Japan. I streamed it smoothly using my ip tv fire stick, which made the whole experience effortless. Definitely worth watching again.
