If you ever visit the Rap Radar Mansion, one of the coolest things is YN’s memorbilia. He’s seen a lot and collected a lot over the years. In this clip, Pill sorts through Elliott’s cassette tapes and then thumbs through his vintage VIBE magazines.

Warning: This post is for the opposite sex. Around the 1:30 mark, Maurice makes Faheem proud by goin’ topless for “Take You Down.” The fight for the T-shirt that was tossed I witnessed firsthand. Let’s just say, it got a lil testy. After the jump, dude puts his jacket back on and gives Juelz Santana a chance to shine. Too bad he drops the ball.

In part 3 of the “A Star Is Born” series, Jermaine reflects on Wale hopping on stage during his set. He then segues into the importance of Twitter and the connecting with his fans. #welovejcolemusic Props: KarenCivil Previously: Part 2 l   Part 1

Fortune love lists. In fact on their latest 40 under 40 Business roll, Hov and Stoute are pitted at the 16th spot. Sorry YN, maybe next year. Coming in at number one are Google boss hogs Sergey Brin and Larry Page. You can bullshit with rap if you want.

Algernold is for the kids too. Before performing “Bust It Baby” at FAMU this past weekend, UrbanDaily reports Plies gave away a stack to an underage fan and was asked to leave. Anyone under 18 show try to weasel their way in to his gig.  After all, he’s got plenty money.

After polishing off his new tune, C Breezy gets to steppin’ on the first single off his second album, Exclusive. Later “Wall To Wall” is interrupted in the bridge by a BP3 Hova song. A field day for the gossipers. After the jump, another hip-hop interlude before “Yo (Excuse Me Miss)” to represent how Ri-Ri’s ex is feelin’ tonight.

“If you happen to know the answer to this question … Call 911” Curtis’ comedy amazes me. Currently on his promo tour for Before I Self Destruct, Boo Boo stopped by NC’s 102 Jamz and played Triple Cs trivia with callers. Honestly, I can’t name all members of the Carol City Cartel either. The only triple c’s I can identify are on Ross’ chest. Before I Self Destruct in stores November 23rd. Custom Cars & Cycles in stores now.

Officer Ricky received a medal of valor plaque for moving over two million units. 21 gun salute.

On week six of Snoop’s Malice N Wonderland series, Tha Doggfather kicks it with JT backstage at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in Las Vegas. That’s right, Snoop Dogg’s for the children too. Props: 57thAve

Although Fab was the only MC on the bill, several rappers popped up during Mario’s set. Can someone say street credibility? Witness Jim Jones ballin’ with Webstar and after the break, Maino and Red Cafe check in. I know. Can you take the excitement?

The lone rap act at last night’s show showed why there’s not a lot of flip cam footage of him live. Like Jay-Z in his early days, Fabolous’ charisma just doesn’t come across enough and connect to the audience. Maybe I shoulda went to Boston. Anyways, up top, F-A-B-O delivered the first of several medleys of the night. Yup, he’s a hit-one-verse and quit it kinda guy. I coulda used a lil more of “Imma Do It.” On the other […]

While you were home watchin’ BET, YN was in Swamp Land boxin’ out the teeny boppers to bring you footage of Chris Brown’s return to the stage. And yup, the boy did good. Truly kick startin’ things off, he began his show with his new joint. No Weezy, but Swizz joined in on the fun. After the jump, peep Ed Lover’s intro. No he didn’t blow up the Yellow Incognegro. C’mon son! Ha!

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3761760&w=425&h=350&fv=configParams%3Dinstance%253Dnews%2526vid%253D450117] Busta reveals on the BET Hip Hop Awards red carpet that on his next album The Chemo, he’s cookin’ up something special with production duo, The Bizness. Yay area! “I’m rocking with Tha Bizness on they album they putting together right now, they did at least three or four on the new Chemo album…look forward to all them things we got cookin’ in the kitchen.” Smells like a winner!

Just Blaze was on Tony Touch’s Shade 45 radio show last night and spun some more of his secret stash of treats. Wow, I was in the stu when Electronica was workin’ on this. I should have flip cam’d it. Next time, I won’t be so respectful. Ha! Oh yeah, this shit sounds incredible. But you already know. Crazy with Mr. Magic drops too. *Adds to morning workout music* No Fergie. No shots Hov. Props: Illionaire Update: Learn the words […]

Wow this rap shit really does run 24/7 nowadays. While I was snoozing, Mike Waxx was liberating Weezy’s highly-anticipated mixtape. I’m about to download my copy and hit the gym. I gotta stay in shape to remain sleep deprived. Ha! Here’s the link. After jump comes the tracklist. You know the steez. Props: Ill Roots Update: KC with the hustleGRL art.

Last night, NYC’s Powerhouse 2009 concert went down at the Izod Center in New Jersey. Before heading out on tour next month, Chris Breezy gave his first performance since assaulting Rihanna last February. Reading the tweets below, Miss. Keri and Tremaine are happy to see him back in the mix. Suddenly, everybody hates loves Chris. Pic via: HollyHoodStar

During Freddie’s visit to NY last week, he hooked up with BK’s own PUSH! Montana. Here’s an impromptu performance of their collaborative effort. This is dope, fa sho.

Two thumbs up. In theaters, Oct. 28th

The Renegades are back…and the commercial’s sick. Props: Miss Info

Wow.
