Looks like Joey Crack is following in Stephon Marbury’s footsteps after partnering with Protege to launch his own line of kicks dubbed the Recession. How appropriate. There’s no word as to how much the sneaks will cost, but speculation is around 35 bucks and sold at your local, Grey Papaya’s. Just kidding. They’ll be available exclusively at all K-Mart chains. Smart move, if you ask me. Middle America hearts the bluelight special.

Baby recently spoke to Vibe‘s Benjamin Meadows-Ingram and shot down rumors of his son Dwayne doing a rock ‘n’ roll album, called Rebirth.

“It’s not a rock record…that’s what I think people are getting misunderstood. When you speaking about a rock record, you think he’s got a guitar and everything, but it’s not that. It’s going to be some of those types of beats, but it’s just great music. I don’t think no artist can do what he about to get done. My son is a rock star.”

Great. “Prom Queen” was giving me an ear infection.

“The clothes from Italy/ The coke from Sicily/ I’m talkin’ literally/ C’mon now, stop kiddin’ me.”

As anticipation for Crime Pays continues to build, another Cam’ron Giles song appears. Despite more leaks than my old apt on 182 Norfolk, I’m sure the Diplomats founder will insist this will not touch the final CD. Oh well, no such thing as too much Killa.

Yup, I possess a lot of things. Hey late night: Here’s Curtis! A throwback jersey-rockin’ 50 makes his network television debut on Kimmel along with an all-star cast: Al Michaels, The Rock, and Snoop Dogg. Six years later and still pretty funny.

Check for performances of “In Da Club” and “Wanksta” after the jump.

“One thing everybody knows is this: There’s not one person out there can sit up here and say they slapped Suge Knight or punked Suge Knight.”

Anybody remember MTV’s news show, The Wrap, with the homie Gideon Yago? Prolly not. But this will take you back. Oh how things done changed. Lots of Crooked I, support for Ja Rule, and as far as the statement above, um… Crystal, can you change you my cell #?

“Get my cover in the back.”

Nothing groundbreaking here. Just your boy Cons and his trusty Kyte cam lettin’ us into a secret session with Styles P and Statik. They’re promising a “classic” here. I’ll just take a good, solid joint. Either way, I’ll give it a listen.

Props: Show Off. Your basement has great choice in magazine posters. Ha!

Didn’t see this one coming. Erick tells MTV that a new Canibus and Keith Murray collaborative album is in the works.

“This is only for heads. I don’t think it’s not going to be one radio record on there. Just rhymes and concepts of rhymes.”

Translation: It’s basically a mixtape. 

At this point in their careers, haven’t Bis and Murray already proven themselves as true wordsmiths? Here’s a crazy idea: Why not create an album that everyone can enjoy? No? Fine. Keep it “real” on your time.

Yep, looking at Gucci it’s about that time. This week, Cory does a G-mix over Busta Rhymes and T-Pain’s “Hustler’s Anthem.” La, la, la, la!

“Hustler’s Anthem”
