Not a sole John Legend album as previously stated. The project’s due in September around the release of Waiting For Superman, a doc about America’s education system. That’s smart.

Looking at this cover probably brings back some memories to a few. You can easily ID, Dre, Eazy, Cube, and Ren on their 1987 debut LP, N.W.A and the Posse. But what about the eight other guys? Well if you ever wondered what each of the 12 individuals are up to these days LA Weekly did some serious research which you can read in its entirety here. That’s reporting, folks! Heads Up: HHO

If you were wondering what Esco thought of Run’s kid goin’ in on his track, have no fear. He couldn’t be more thrilled as he cosigns dude to VIBE. “I couldn’t believe it. Rev Run. is the king of rap, and for him to have a son who’s that nice? You don’t even think shit like that happens. I don’t think we’ve seen that in hip-hop yet—he’s nice and his father’s the king?  That’s historic, bro. That shit is incredible. […]

The good folks over at Complex got a chance to preview Game’s R.E.D. and one particular track review caught my eye. Don’t let the title scare ya. “Mother’s Womb” f/ Nelly Furtado Produced By: Pharrell Complex says: The title’s kind of gross, right? Doesn’t sound so hot, either. Game waxes poetic about all the gangsta shit he’s been up to since he’s left his mother’s womb. What better way to do that than have Nelly Furtado ride shotgun? FOH. Skateboard […]
