Ok, you loved College (well at least the mainsteam did. Ha!) but will you love this? This is the official second single from Asher Roth’s debut. Gonna be interesting to see if this connects. I didn’t like it that much at first listen, but it’s growing on me. It’s from the Andre 3000 school of funk. Rock on.

Throwback Bonus: Roth makes Cee-Lo connection

True Story: I wanted to go to this. But Joey I.E. and I couldn’t work out the clearance. Hip-hop spent the weekend in Ohio. Ha!

Damn, Nigel beats us to the punch. Ha!

More footage after the jump:

Here is a pic of T.I. and Shawty Lo backstage at Young Jeezy’s concert at the Philips Arena in the ATL last night. Shawty Lo looks thrilled to be friends with T.I. again and almost has this, “Ok he likes me now…I better be careful” look on his face. For some reason, this photo reminds me of the one featuring The Game and the guy that got knocked out by the barber:

A very reliable source at Interscope Records spoke to the good folks at Aftermath Entertainment and DJ Vlad has been vindicated: Bishop Lamont is no longer a part of Aftermath. Enjoy your day.

Whatchu talkin’ bout, Gary?! In the clip, Arnold talks about his disdain for the man.

“They’re rude, they’re obnoxious. They’re not fun to be around.”

Guess that explains the divorce

With all the hoopla and the emotional speeches, Run-DMC and company forgot to thank a producer who played a huge role in building their sound. Larry “King of The Beats” Smith is the most underrated trackmaster of all time. He crafted classics for Darryl and Joe (“It’s Like That,” “Sucker MC’s,” “Rock Box”), Whodini (“Friends,” “Five Minutes of Funk,” “Freaks Come Out At Night”) and Maino’s “Hi Haters” jacked his Jimmy Spicer hit “Money (Dollar Bill Y’all).” You kids got a lot to learn and I have to teach. Ha!

Here is Davy Greenburg’s documentary, Air Yeezy: Beyond The Hype. As the title suggest, the clip focuses on the release of Kanye’s Meteor Man’s  Air Yeezy sneakers. I don’t know about you, but camping out for a shoe is dumb. Better yet, camping out for a Kanye West shoe is even dumber. And at $215 a pop, I’d rather buy a pack of bogeys here in the city.
