Tomorrow is a big day in the life of one Clifford Harris. A year after pleading guilty on federal weapons charges, T.I. is supposed to get his year and a day sentence. According to an article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution the extra day has great significance.

“The extra day means T.I. can carve 15 percent off of his sentence with good behavior. Under U.S. Bureau of Prison rules, inmates can earn such credit only if they are sentenced to longer than a year in prison. T.I. should serve an estimated 298 days — or a little less than 10 months. He is expected to get credit for the two weeks he sat in jail after his arrest and before posting a $3 million bond.”

10 months? I can hear the haters runnin’ their traps and yappin’ away. Ha!

And of course, the MTV cameras will be rollin’ to capture all the craziness. Shit, get some rest, shawty.

Reported live from the house Russell and Rick built:

1. “Pain & Torture”

When it comes to producers, Buckwild’s a name you can trust. And on this booming track, Jada talks greasier than a can of WD-40. 

2. “Can’t Stop Me” Featuring Ayannna Irish

Not even the Ashford and Simpson-penned sample (Ross!) could get this track high enough on the charts.

3. “Who’s Real” Featuring Swizz Beatz and OJ Da Juiceman

Putting Jada and OJ on the same track is like mixing vodka and milk. Yuck.

4. “Grind Hard” Featuring Mary J Blige

It’s a 914 thing. The track has an electro bounce to it and meshes well with Mary’s vocals. 

5. “Something Else” Featuring Young Jeezy

Dark and moody guitar strings back Jason and Jay. But honestly, it’s better suited for the Snowman with lines like: “See these blood diamonds, my chain African.” Yep, ignorance is bliss and I’m cheesing from ear to ear.

There’s a lot of hype behind this gathering of pure MC’s. A lot of hype. But if they can consistently come with this type of flavor I’m gonna have to grab my seat on the bandwagon. I like this one. I like this one a lot. And I waited a day to make sure that I was sure. Ha!

“This shit is for ballers only.”

DJ Smallz shows off some samples from Rick Ross’ new Luxury Tax clothing line.

Um… I’ll pass. Looks like some cheap-ass T-Shirts to me. 

Salute: Sermon

Don’t believe in nepotism, but this kid PreZZure got some spit. Ha! Shit, since other sites are starting to co-sign how can I front on the flesh and blood?! Steven Michael Wilson (I named him, ask him) is becoming a better MC as each day passes. Keep on workin’ little brother.

According to some Sin City snitches, Curtis is still snugglin’ up with Ciara. 

“Hip-hop couple rapper 50 Cent and singer Ciara, taking in “Zumanity” (New York-New York) on Saturday and “O” (Bellagio) on Sunday. 50 cent wore an afro wig, baseball cap and sunglasses, while Ciara sported a huge pair of trendy shades and a big parka jacket. The two arrived just as the show began and entered through the back of the theater with the help of their bodyguard. Ciara had a snack attack at “0,” ordering Sour Patch Kids, Snickers and plain Hershey’s chocolate bars. They left just before the performance ended.”

A wig? Wait that wasn’t Curtis that was Pimpin’ Curly!

Incidentally, I heard Boo Boo shot a PC ep out in Viva land with a bevy of beauties. Promises to be entertaining.

MC Too Short struggles to fill in some big shoes at a SXSW showcase. Here’s visual evidence on why you MCs need to slow down on them collabos. Rakim didn’t have no guests.

But he never wrote a hook either. Nevermind like Nirvana.

Propers: Rise like The Phoenix

“Get Perez in the back.”

I was listening to Hot 97 when suddenly… DJ Enuff was playin’ one of those heavy dance BPM sets that aren’t my cup of tea when the voice of Kanye West came in the mix. Thankfully, RGP never sleeps.

Here’s Mr. West on the remix of the B-More house heat rock, DJ Class’ “I’m The Shit.”

{mp3}02 kanye west im the shit{/mp3}

“I got them Yeezy’s on my feet/ I got them Louie’s in the store/ And I dropped another album/ Before we finished up the tour/ And it’s still top 10 ’bout 15 weeks later/ So that’s a middle finger ‘fore you 808 haters.”

Props: Big Spanish

Now you kids run along and get that dirty CDQ for me. Thanks. Ha!

Update: That was fast! Legend!

It actually sounds better clean to me.

We used to have debates at XXL about whether this really happened or not. Here’s a clip from the infamous 106 and Park episode where the Birdmans (Sr. and Jr.) locked lips. Even though apparently the cameraman missed it. THE MOST EPIC OF FAILS. The legend continues!

“Will I get to heaven/Turn to Psalm 27/Lord knows when I see this monkey/I’ma be the Devil.”

Ricky back at it again.
