Eskay recently revealed that his hometown favorite graces one of The Source‘s 3 upcoming covers. There’s also a Busta and a Bun one for the ten collectors still left. Hey everyone gets a cover nowadays, huh? Notice this one’s also a double month edition. Not a good sign. Still it’s hard to believe the cockroach of publishing will ever die. Lord knows I heard the crunchy sound when I lifted my Timbo up. Smh.

After the jump, Julia Beverly thinks Da Capo’s album’s called Purple Reign.

Hey kids, go wake up your granddaddy! Can you guess who this is? No. Well, pull up a chair. This is none other than Afrika Baby Bam of the Jungle Brothers. See, back in the 90s, his career jumped the shark after he turned into a cross dressing Pagan. Yeah, drugs this business will do that to ya. In the clip, he she gives a PSA against domestic violence. 

“Shame on Chris Brown for beating up Rihanna. Fucking freak!” 

*blank stare  Ironic, aint it?

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Woooha reports that Lonnie’s superpowers have been revoked as the lead role in The Green Lantern movie (No, DJ) scheduled to drop late next year.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
