Asher, Jim Jones and Justin Bieber, all appeared on the MTV game show, Silent Library. The program aired a month ago, but MTV is notorious for their rebroadcasts. On the show, contestants earn cash by quietly performing stunts in a library. Check out the insanity after the jump.
Let a dog roam and he’ll find his way home. Last night, Game announced that he’s back on Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Records. Back in 2006, Chuck was released from the label and shipped to Universal subsidiary Geffen. Welcome back? Heads Up: NR
Lupe says this song is featured on the the album above. Good thing, cause it’ll be a shame for this track to go to waste. If this and “Beaming” are signs of things to come, Lasers should be on point. UPDATE: Hold your horses, Wasalu says song is unfinished.
Truth be told: Unless it’s Hip Hop Honors or you and your drunk friend doin’ karaoke, hip-hop covers are caca. I’ll pass on this shit. Sorry Calvin. HHNM
[vodpod id=Video.3026047&w=425&h=350&fv=configParams%3Dinstance%3Dnews%26amp%3Bvid%3D482644] Yo Gotti tells MTV that he, Gucci Mane, and Young Jeezy are the streets’ last hope. “I feel like it’s our job, between me and Jeezy and Gucci — feel that’s who the streets look at as far as trap music,” Gotti explained. “So if it’s gonna be saved, we have to save it. [Save Da Trap] is me telling myself and them, ‘Don’t do it.’ We gotta save the trap — the streets want us here. We […]
Ok here’s our final look at the fly girls down in South America. Didn’t know they took it to Carnival. Lord have mercy. GG Previously: Vol. 1 I Vol. 2
Lambo Lloyd came out to Webster Hall last night to join Juelz for a performance of his new single. Plus, it was all for a good cause. G-Set? Ha. ThisIsStillCurtis
Miss Info brought this out yesterday. But here’s the visual of the convo that Westwood came out to the U.S. to get. He also got some behind the scenes from the various video shoots Weezy did that weekend. The footage catches the crew’s downtime, showing the entourage drinking Patron and placing bets on bitcoin casinos between takes. It’s so hard to say goodbye. Ha.
E-40’s ripping a page out of Nelly’s play book and dropping two albums Revenue Retrievin’ Night Shift and Revenue Retrievin’ Day Shift on the same day (March 30). “I‘m excited about this album; it’s been a year since I dropped The Ball Street Journal,” he said in a statement. “It marks an important independent business venture for me. This way, I am able to go back to the basics and run my own campaign.” Gotta respect that.
“The game’s collapsin’/ And it’s the same shame I saw the day Jermaine became the most famous Jackson” Fresh off his European adventures with Slaughterhouse, Crook goes in over Statik Selektah’s instrumental for a lil’ lyrical exercise. Yup, the bars are still in shape. X
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.
