Unlike any other music genre, Hip-Hop thrives off guest appearances. Sometimes these collaborations are so plentiful, you end up forgetting whose album you’re listening to. Hit the jump for seven collaborations that your ass will never see before you die. And if you have, will never happen again.
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.

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!

Tyler, The Creator’s Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale feels like a fresh extension of his original masterpiece. The added tracks bring more emotion and polish. Listening to it while driving through Faisal Town Phase 2 somehow makes the whole vibe even better—luxury mixed with raw honesty.
