Wayne finally had his day in court this afternoon. Weezy was sentenced today to a year in jail for weapons possession. Before he entered Manhattan Criminal Court, Cash Money CEO’s Birdman and Slim lead the way a few minutes before. Unfortunately, cameras aren’t allowed inside the building. Up top is brief footage of the brothers outside the courthouse. Below is them leaving.
Slim Thug spilled the beans on the Q&A website Formspring that he’s featured on the offical remix to Lloyd Banks’ “Beamer, Benz, Or Bentley”. Doubt this is Banks’ surprise collaboration.

Yesterday morning, film critic Roger Ebert gave Drake props for his name drop in “Over”. Later on, he added that Drizzy was his granddaughter’s favorite rapper. In 2002, Ebert was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. He overcame the disease, but lost the ability to talk, eat or drink. Thumbs down. Heads Up: brokencool
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.
