Last Week: Tuesdays With Cory: “Conglomerate”

 Here is Jigga’s cover story with Cigar Aficionado magazine.

“I love food and wine and sunsets. You give me a great sunset, a perfect meal, a great bottle of wine— and a cigar to finish it off— and I don’t have a care in the world.”

So much for nice cooked food and clean drawers, eh? Squint your eyes and read more after the jump. If that doesn’t work, pick up the issue at your local newsstand. Support print, cheap ass.

All this talk of Ross vs Roth sales showdown on par with Kanye and 50 is fun and all, but it apparently isn’t grounded in reality. Word on the curb is Universal fucked up and only shipped around 100K of Asleep in Bread Aisle despite the incredible press presence. Meanwhile, Ross’ Deeper Than Rap has well over a half million copies in the few retail stores that do exist. So barring an iTunes sales miracle, it’s doubtful Ricky won’t have another #1 album on the shelf.

Let’s go Internets! 

My dude Joe La Puma reached out to my amigo Don Cartagena. And Crack, as usual, is promisin’ mo’ and mo’ hits.

This one song called “Congratulations.” It’s going to be a summer banger. It’s just about how everybody who wants to be famous has to be careful what you wish for. Look at Chris Brown and Rihanna. They’re trying to get their life together. They got paparazzi and everybody all on them now, so it’s like you got to be careful with what you wish for. I mean, unfortunately there’s domestic violence going around in this country, and around the world every single day. Some couples get a chance to work it out. Get back together. Now they in the cameras. Everybody wants to be famous. You have to be ready to deal with consequences.

Peep the whole intv here.

Sidebar: Pause on that last question, Crack.

Neighborhood Nip Hussle speaks guap-anese on this new track from the upcoming Bullets Ain’t Got No Name Vol.3. 

“A clique of broke niggas, man your crew’s usless/ My niggas having dollars like we born Jewish.”

My former co-workers predict the album sale figures for Asher Roth and Ricky Ross.

Really excited to be rockin’ with The Roots, The Officer flubs up the last verse and goes back to the first. C’mon, Ricky, you’re better than that! Still Black Thought gettin’ his John Legend on is priceless. Ha!

Thanks for giving me a reason to post this, Derrick. But in all seriousness, cut the crap and quit the rap. To be frank, you suck. Anthony, I’m actually more disappointed in you. A talent like yourself should know better than fuckin’ with the musically inept. *Waves finger*
