[vodpod id=Video.3064028&w=425&h=350&fv=] From last week’s Pun & Dilla tribute on Toca Tuesdays, Just reflects on the first time he met Mr. Rios.

Looks like The R.E.D. Album‘s got a new release date. Now, ihategame as much as he hates himself. And over the last couple months, he’s been telling us sweet little lies. Back in October, he said he was releasing four mixtapes in a week. Never happened. Then in November, he said the LP was dropping February 16th (which happens to be today). Nada. Apparently, he rejoined Aftermath Records last week too. But when Chuck isn’t playing Pinocchio, he’s been seen […]

For over a year, Drake’s petitioned for Sade to appear on his debut album, Thank Me Later. By now, you’d think that someone from his camp would’ve reach out to the singer, right? Wrong. In this interview with the National Post, Sade says she hasn’t even been contacted and purposely strays from collaborations. On the collaboration rumors with Kanye West and Drake: I don’t think they have contacted me. I’ve never collaborated because I’ve always avoided working outside my safety […]
