“And I’m headed for AZ. Anybody feel me?”
Last night, Hov saluted Obama on his first 100 days.
Hopefully better footage is on the way. By the way, it looks like Jay rocked camouflage shorts on stage. Guess it was hot in that bitch. Ha!

Did Paul swagger jack an LL line at end? Wow.

Truth be told, “Maybach 2” instrumental is just as good, if not better than the song. Too bad when producers speak, most rap fans tune out (R.I.P. Scratch).
Also for the true music connoisseurs, here’s a recent intv J.L. did with VIBE.

“You try to get your money up well it’s time too/ Cause every other cat on the block is on the grind too/ Lookin’ to catch your ass slippin’ right behind you/ Catchin’ you makin’ bacon and lay you down like the swine flu/ Damn, somebody pass me a face mask/ ‘Cause I ain’t tryin’ to catch a late pass from your fake ass.”
Bun B blacks out on the Clipse-Kanye collabo.

This reminds me, DJ Wonder and I were at the radio station the other day, talkin’ about the gift and the curse of this song. Kanye’s verse sounds like an old freestyle from a Tapemasters Inc. mixtape and the beat Khalil did, sounds like a vintage ‘Ye track. I need that instrumental like yesterday.

“We ain’t go to Venezuela to feed the monkeys.”
Apparently MTV was pre-taped and this is Ricky’s true victory speech live from St. Martin where he’s apparently vacationing with his Carol City conglomerate.
I got two questions:
1) Do real gangstas rock pink Air Yeezy’s?
2) Three #1 albums in a row is a great accomplishment, but is 158 K really somethin’ to brag about?
Sometimes, Yellow Nigga just gets confused.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
My former fellow light-skinded XXL blogger is ready to share after the jump.
Here’s a match made in hell. La Flare throws his vocals over BEP’s “Boom Boom Pow”. I expect to hear about five more of these “remixes” by week’s end.

Update: Guess I was right about those remixes. And their, official too!
control of me, I didn’t
even see it happening … just going further out there. Then you look
in the mirror one day and realize, ‘Wow, I don’t like what I see.’ I
knew I had to do something about it. I had a long run for, like, probably 10 years with no
vacation,” he explained. “I never went out. I was not the guy at the
club. I was almost scared of going to the club. All of a sudden, I
found myself working with certain artists from L.A. and hanging out in
L.A. and being introduced to a whole new lifestyle … and getting in
trouble with them…It wasn’t like an escape for me. It was more like I was having
so much fun and, for the first time being let out of the studio, it was
like the mad scientist on the loose,” he continued. “All of sudden,
pictures were snapping and I was famous and it went to my head, I
guess. I had to come back to earth…We all think we’re not going to get that point,” he said about
losing control. “It sneaks up on you real fast. … You don’t think
it’s affecting you, but it does. People probably didn’t enjoy talking
to me when I was high on cocaine, ’cause I had a friend of mine saying
[recently], ‘This is the first time I talked to you ever. You’re
focused on the conversation; you’re focused on everything you do.
You’re more methodical with your thinking.’ It’s serious.”
See kids, if you get hooked, it’s no one else’s fault. So don’t do it !
