I like Irv and I dig Deb, but they waited too long for a season 2 for me. Not sayin’ if I catch I ain’t gonna watch it, but I ain’t lookin’ for it.

Props: Info (The Queen of Vimeo) Ha!

Sidebar: So much for Irv’s “new artist”. This guy is old Newz. Ha! Check the archives, XXL April 2004

After the jump, check out the foreword of Curt’s book with Robert Greene. Considering 50’s success, maybe other rappers should rip a page out his book too. The 50th Law drops September 8th.

Loose lips sink ships, DeAndre. SMH. Dumb Young rappers need teaching.

I’m not buying this, but Drake talks to the 1515 Boys about Dwayne’s Jigga-like writing process and his own.

“Wayne does this thing and it’s scary and it’s unfair and I’m jealous of it for a million years. He sits there and you know they’ll be playing a record and he’ll just sit there like this and kinda be like, chilling and might get up, eat some candy and do whatever he does and then, it’ll take 40 minutes maybe if that, sometimes 15 and he’ll hop up and head right for the booth and lay like one or two or three of the most amazing verses that you ever heard with lines that’s like- What just happened did you just make a movie in your head like? Like what just happened? Cause you just painted the most colorful picture for this record. Wayne is so good at that, man. Like, I’m in awe of that dude…but for me, I take my time, I write.”
