Timbaland called Ryan Seacrest’s show today and denied that he tried to off himself. He says something was stolen from his crib and he went for a drive to clear his head. There goes your resolution. tmz Sidebar: Timbo’s mother in-law’s 911 call.
Three’s a charm? It sure is and for the third installment of his Hip Hop weekly series, Crook lights it up over the Drizzy and Hov collab. Wait until next week comes around. mr. x Last week: “Bang Yo City”
Last month, Rick Ross wanted Wiz on his Maybach Music roster. Although Atlantic beat Rozay to the punch, the Pittsburgh spitta tells VIBE, he would’ve declined Ross’ offer anyways. “When I woke up and went to Twitter I saw a bunch of people talking about it and was like ‘What the hell?’ So I went on the blogs and saw his . Then Ross ended up calling me [the same day] to say it himself. I would’ve kept doing what I was […]

So much so, that even Curtis wanted in. Bruno Mars, the man behind the boards, talked to 1515 about his studio session with Mr. Green. “Talk about the perfect marriage, we been fans of Cee-Lo for real. And we became labelmates and I was just feeding that to them, ‘We got to get in. I know he’s working on something, we got to do something.’ So he comes […]

Here is something new. No, literally. Freddie Gibbs and YP created this during their Closed Sessions in Chicago a few weeks back. This is how you turn nothing into something. dgb

Sigel spoke on expanding State Prop and this might be the first step. Along with a local Chicago artist, Beans shits on Jay (again!) and, this time, Kanye gets it too. Blame FSD for the file and they also took the liberty of transcribing the most disrespectful part. Someone make it stop! Dwight Grant…You’re better than that! “Middle finger up to Jayeeeer I don’t give a fuck about Ye’eeer Wanna know, I think Ye Queeeeer He dress Gayeeeeer I sweeeear […]
This guy just won’t go away. Ha! For the seventh non-consecutive week, Recovery remains at the top of the Billboard 200. The only other male artist to have spent more weeks at number 1 was Usher with Confessions at nine weeks in 2004. As far as Hip Hop artists, Outkast’s Speakerboxxx/The Love Below was at the top spot for seven weeks during 2003/2004. A whole new meaning to one yourself.
Great breakdown of Statik Selektah’s *Round Trip*! Honestly, this 2023 Mass Appeal release is pure boom-bap bliss from start to finish. Statik really outdid himself with those smooth, jazzy sample flips and turntable scratches, creating the exact kind of laid-back, golden-era hip-hop vibe you want playing in the background while relaxing at Denmark holiday cottages over a quiet weekend. The guest list alone is stacked—having legends like Posdnous kicking things off on the opener "Round Trip (For Dave)" alongside heavy hitters like Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, and Inspectah Deck on "Unpredictable" makes every track feel like a proper event. Even the newer-school features like Benny the Butcher, Conway the Machine, and Joey Bada$$ fit effortlessly over the dusty, soulful production without a single wasted verse. Definitely one of his most cohesive projects in years and an easy front-to-back spin for anyone who appreciates real hip-hop craftsmanship.
