This wasn’t even my interview, but I couldn’t help but eavesdrop. Here Flav spares a couple minutes with a reporter from The NY Post.  The significance you ask? Well, on the Public Enemy album  Apocalypse ’91: The Enemy Strikes Black, PE recorded the diss track, “A Letter To The NY Post”.  Doubt Mr. Murdoch got the message.

As YN stated, last night was the taping of VH1’s Hip-Hop Honors at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in NY. This year, Def Jam was honored for its 25 years of operation. Before the ceremony, I caught DMX on the red carpet. He is often credited for changing—or as Jay-Z puts it, “DMXing the game” with his 1998 debut album It’s Dark And Hell Is Hot. Briefly, X speaks on how he intended on shaking things up.

So Freddie Gibbs, we meet at last. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been hearing good things about your mixtape, Midwestgangstaboxframecadillacmuzik. After much procrastination, I gave it a listen and was impressed by it’s Midwest swing. With that said, here are some stills from his new video featuring P-I-Double L. Still not convinced? Then check out the song below. Thanks: Andrew

Here’s the full version of a future radio rotator. I got my Young Money flag in the sky on this one. Don’t shoot the messenger. Moola, bitches. Get your stacks up! Props: Hottest Ish via Illionaire

From across the Atlantic, Jigga Man called Angie Martinez on Hot 97. He spoke on scoring his 11th number one album and Lil Mama crashing his set with Alicia Keys at the MTV VMA’s. Obviously, he wasn’t a happy camper. Previously: Jay-Z Calls Oprah & Gayle

This afternoon, Faheem promoted his iPhone application “I Am T-Pain” for Ellen’s studio audience and the millions of soccer moms across the country. Cha-ching.

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3478643&w=425&h=350&fv=] Peep how Will’s long time DJ slices and dices James Todd’s classic opus, “Rock The Bells” at VH1’s Hip-Hop Honors rehearsal. Pull up a chair button pushers. That boy, good. Props: ?uestlove Sidebar: Clap for him.

Before hitting the stage last Friday at Wembley Stadium, Hova called into Oprah and Gayle’s satellite radio show. They discuss her mention on Blueprint 3, O’s pass in Marcy Projects and her, um, swagga. This can’t be life. Heads Up: 1515

Then: During Bush’s incumbency last year, gas prices reached an all time high. In fact, it prompted Puff to ground his private jet and fly commercial. Well 365 days later, a colored man’s in office and Diddy’s got snaps on the petro. On board with Red Cafe, they head to Vegas to celebrate Red’s birthday and watch Marquez get his ass beat. Now: Props: 57th

Here’s something provocative to promote two of music’s biggest artists joining forces on their upcoming tour. Don’t think this is actually Kanye or Gaga but please don’t give them any ideas. Apparently, it’s not gonna be your average rap show, kids.

Another day, another Playaz Circle post? I don’t know what the fuck’s gotten into me. Maybe it’s limited sleep, but I kinda dig this one. Goodie Mob’s leader takes over chorus duties for another joint from the Duffle Bag Boys. The chick at the end is mad annoying gettin’ her Big Rube on, but I can let it slide.

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3477743&w=425&h=350&fv=] This song leaked so long ago, I forgot how much I liked it. What we don’t like at the Double R is video trailers. Still Ahmir’s my fella with the red and white polka dot umbrella, so I’ll give them Philly cats a pass. Plus things looks interesting enough. We’ll soon see. Spotted: Nation

Last night, Model/ Rapper J.Cole performed at VH1’s pre-party at Club Touch in heart of the city. In the first video, he covers  “Dead Presidents” before rocking his own rendition off The Warm Up mixtape. Below he shakes things up with “PSA.” Too bad Hov couldn’t make it. Must’ve been triple booked in Switzerland. Props: 2db
