Mo’ goodness from the SXSW days. I played myself and went to the Big Boi show instead that night. I heard Free tore it down. Say it with me: I lost.

“First look at what’s coming from Free and Jake’s album “The Stimulus Package” dropping on Rhymesayers this summer.”

Either this pic was was taken in 1986 or at Nick’s birthday party last year. Nevertheless, today is all about you. And in celebration of hitting the big 4-0, here’s a song FUBU. (Get it? “For U, By U”)  *crickets*

I was Music Editor at The Source back when The Firm mania took over hip-hop. Them damn meetings with Dave Mays and his “buddy” Commissioner Steve Stoute. Having to write a painful Sure Shot single of “Firm Biz.” The behind the scenes drama of the infamous split cover with Jay-Z when Dame and them making a lil house call. Ha! Too many stories.

Yeah, the final result from this rap supergroup didn’t live up to the tremendous hype that was created but I can now fondly look back on that time on my life and acknowledge this shit was pretty fun. Watch this and pretend you were part of it.

Consider this is a public service announcement:

ATTENTION PRODUCERS!!! — G.O.O.D Music/Universal’s artist Kid Cudi b.k.a. The Man on the Moon, needs beats ASAP to complete his album.  But, not just any beats, he needs uptempo hip-hop beats with NO HOOKS.  So, if you think you got what it takes, submit your beats (max 3 per producer) to:

[email protected]

If you’d like more information about Kid Cudi or catch his vibe, visit: www.kidcudi.com

For everyone else, forward your shitty tracks to Joe Budden. He hearts bad production.

The eternal laughingstock of rap continues to play himself at last night’s MTV Australia Awards. Why does this guy get invited to shit?

Here is the anticipated cut “Harry Asshole” off, UGK 4 Life.

During a recent taping for 60 Minutes, Hovi’s homie sinks an under-hand half court shot. “I’m one take baby, that’s all. I’m just one take.”

Here’s a new record from Chester the Molester R.Kelly and Lil Jon. Was the Auto-Tunes really necessary, Robert?

Cam blesses Now Wut with the exclusive. He makes it crystal clear he’s not patchin’ it up with Jimmy and Juelz.

Dre from Nah Right got his transcribe on:

“Look, I hear the DJs, I hear the fans, I hear everybody. I’m not doing a Diplomats album. I’m not rhyming with Jim or Juelz or nothing. I wish them all the best of luck. Accept it people. The people don’t wanna seem to accept it. I don’t have time to do that, it’s not happening, I’m not doing it. That’s why I called you [NowWutTV] here, cuz I know you’ll get it across the world. And hopefully the people will get it in their head. Cam is doing Cam. I’m not doing no Diplomat Immunity 3 album. I hope they’ll do it and I wish them luck. Stop dreaming. Stop hoping. Stop wishing. Stop imagining. I’m not doing it. Official. What’s today’s date? Thursday, March 26th, 2009: Cameron Giles, aka Spacely Sprockets aka Jaffe Joe aka Killa Cam aka KFC, whatever you wanna call me, I am not doing no Diplomat 3 album. That’s it.”

Guess if Jim Jones actually shows up on Angie Martinez’s show today it could get really interesting. Really fast. Maybe Miss Info can stick around the studio just so we can be ensured of some classic radio.

The Dip Set saga continues.

Note: I can’t just embed vids like the rest of you kids. So WSHH gets the look for now.
