Last night, Hov and Mr. Hudson joined forces at the Alexandra Palace in London. This particular performance will also be used in the official video. The footage is kind of shitty, but it will hold us down until something clearer surfaces. Props: TheHigherPlane Update: New improved footage.

Yesterday on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Tony Starks and DC’s very own soothe the ladies with track 3 off Wizard of Poetry in Emerald City. Was this a repeat? Late night late pass! Props: Yardie

Hip-hop’s go-to guy and Usher want to party all the time. But it’s hard to have a good time when Eddie Murphy’s daughter’s not by your side. LOL. If this song irks you, the visual is only gonna make it worse. Gucci!

The Drama King let loose another track off More Than Just A DJ yesterday on Shade 45. Pretty ironic that a guy formerly named Uncle Murda is on this. By the way, Reminisce’s verse is unfinished which is why it’s not featured yet. And just for old times sake, let’s take it back to ’89. Props: Illionaire

Before the Yanks won the World Series, the Queen of Hip Hop Soul sung the National Anthem at home plate. Brook Lynn goes hard!

Yankees Win. Lil Mama The Phillies Lost. Happy #27!

Anyone who’s visited Mr. West’s blog recently has had to notice that he’s been really obsessed with The Greatest as of late. He’s now up to part six in his Ali Quotes posts. What’s the meaning behind all this? Who knows. But it does appears that he’s trying to keep a lower profile and communicating through the words of the man born Cassius Clay. Whatever happened to “What Would Jeezy Do?” Heads Up: MTV

The homie Semtex’s site crashed today. Probably because he’s capturing all the goodness from Hov’s show at the Alexandra Palace tonight. He’ll be up and running again in the morning. Be sure to check back. Props: The Explosive One!

Nick’s better half sat with Larry King tonight on CNN. She says there’s no seed in her belly and breaks down her definition of a diva. No shots, Bey.

These days, he’s not concerned with bringing any drama in his life. Say what? The Roc co-founder has really grown up. Maybe y’all should try to do the same. “I love Jay, I love Beans — what’s the reason for beef? That’s stupid. What’s the reason for beef? People die, people don’t feel good — I want people to laugh. I was surprised. I was […]

Everyone is dying to know what’s the haps with Relapse 2. So once again, Mr. Smith is forced to address the hot topic at hand. Can he live? “It’s a challenge for both of us in the sense we’ve never worked with each other before. We’ve both been in the business 10 plus years. We’re both very self-contained. He has his own production compound, and I have my situation with Bassline Studios in New York. Sometimes I’m like I need […]

“Them cashmere is last year.” Here’s something way less raunchy from Tremaine. This R&B guy sounds better than most rappers. I see you Ustream keep jockin’ our fresh. Yuuup! Ha!

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3830371&w=425&h=350&fv=] Juve’s over, but for four minutes and some seconds we can pretend he’s not. We owe it to him. Sorry, woadie. WSHH

Ooh la la. Jamie hooks up with the “it guy” on this new cut. This shit’s not too fuckin bad. Oops, pardon my French. UHTN

“She blew it out the frame.” Who says white men can’t dance? An excitable Robin Thicke world premieres “Shakin’ It For Daddy,” his song with the YM princess on the Rickey Smiley’s show in the ATL. Hopefully, they’ll shoot a video soon so we can peep some mo’ of Minaj’s animated moves. Props: Rap-Up

Are you excited as she is? Probably, not. But in case you are, here are three new joints emancipated from Plies’ Twitter account. Enjoy. “Letter To The Industry” “Awesome” “Chirpin” Ft. Fella

“The only millionaire in the city where he born at.” Truthfully: I initially wanted to post this just because something about the artwork tickled me so. But this tune ain’t half bad. Still, the question remains: Will the real Byron of our culture ever return to the Birdman’s coup? Ha! Havin’ too much fun today. Props: YK2 Sidebar: Maybe I just have a soft spot for the title. I can relate and this song‘s great too.

In Hov’s GOTHAM magazine cover story, he admits to being a bit of a hot head. “I don’t dislike anything about myself,” he says. “I know this sounds a little arrogant but I really accept what God has given me. I’ve got a short temper but I work on controlling it. I can say inappropriate things because I believe them to be true and sometimes that can be hurtful to others. But I think in the long run it is […]

Welp, this ain’t makin’ 106. Parental advisory suggested.

Stat Quo? Back for the first time? Yesterday: Game Gets His Shit Pushed Back
