Deep in YN’s hip-hop treasure trove comes a candid interview with Nas at the height of his battle with [insert any rapper/ DJ here]. At the 4:22 mark, Nasir throws Funk Flex off the train.

“From my understanding he was mixing at gay clubs. Now he’s mixing on Hot 97.” Ouch.

After the jump, he talks about the conspiracist Hot 97 and his foiled Summer Jam plans. Smarten up, Nas.

Karen Civil has obtained paperwork filed by Cash Money against several mixtape DJs. Most notably is DJ Drama over The Dedication series. This development comes after reports of Wayne filing a lawsuit against, Quincy Jones III  regarding an upcoming biopic. Good grief, these niggas are down by law for real.  

Update: Drama explains the lawsuit

Woooha reports that Lonnie’s superpowers have been revoked as the lead role in The Green Lantern movie (No, DJ) scheduled to drop late next year. There’s no word as to why Warner Brothers dropped him from the role, but I’m guessing it’s a “Black thang.” In the comics, the original Lantern was of the Caucasian persuasion. So, the script probably had to be tweeked to fit Com. Ah well, at least he hit the jackpot here. Lucky bastard.

Bandanna and Officer Ricky hop on the remix for their labelmates’ self titled track, “Epiphany”. Label me an R&B thug, but ol’ girls voice sounds like it belongs in the Cotton Club, circa 1940. Epiphany hits stores May 5, MMIX

Look who’s cheating on us? Ha! Nah, the more Cory out there, the better hip-hop is. Peep dude cruisin’ through town with Whoo Kid and those fancy Radio Planet cameras capturing it all. I’d jot some of his lyrics down but he rhymes too damn fast. Never tongue-tied, huh? Smh.

“We got Big on the hook.”

Just when you thought screwed and chopped hooks were a thing of the best, here comes Fantasia’s ex with some Southern smoke. Ha! Young Dro drops a lil’ street heat to keep Grand Hustle hot before the impending doom of his CEO going to the clink. Do you really think these guys are gonna accomplish much with Cliff gone? Wish I wasn’t so skeptical.

“I’m grindin’ hard, I almost got my Black card.”

Rich Boy is to eskay as Boosie is to B.Dot. Ha! Here’s a new one from Alabama’s finest. Like most of Boy’s best stuff the hook is infectious. I really hope Interscope gives him another look. Fingers crossed.

Sidebar: I think I hear a lil Auto-Tune in the mix at the 2:50 mark or so. Uh oh, Mark Jackson says, “You’re better than that!”
