Marshall graces the cover of the June issue of XXL. Second cover and excerpt after the jump

What’s this? Cam accepting an inside-the-book-feature and giving VIBE a photo shoot?! Lord knows, I know that ain’t easy to make happen. Are there ever enough Killa quotables? Plus NY Times respected scribe, Jon Carmanica is a byline you can trust. Act like you know. I think that Rihanna issue needs to be in your bathroom asap. Keep print alive!

According to Soundscan, there’s roughly three million delusional Weezy fans. So to them, consider this an early Christmas gift. Here are four cuts from The Drought Is Over 7.

Just ’cause you shoot a video in the land of Cocaina in front of the house Pablo Escobar was killed, does that make you a certified drug kingpin? Nope! But you gotta love Ricky. He’s got chutzpah!

This week, Peter’s boy demands his respect over Trev’s “Conglomerate.”

“I kept a knife in my belongings, lil’ doosie in my Timbo/Cause I’m as big as Lil Boosie with the toolie, though, I’m Kimbo.”

B.Dot’s favorite magazine turns two and Trevor doesn’t have to touch ole girl to get the front page. Magazines are dying every day, but the Drama King is still livin’ his Black Hugh Hefner dream. Smh.

Yesterday at the White House Easter Egg Roll, Fergie Roseanne Barr’s the National Anthem. Keep your eyes on the first granny. At the :54 mark, she whisper something into her neighbors ear. It’s hard to make it out, I think she said, “This white girl can’t sang.” *giggles*
