Attention Santa: All Rihanna wants this holiday season is some food and sex. Someone’s dreaming of a white Christmas, indeed. After the jump, check out her performance last night of “Russian Roulette” on David Letterman.
I recently saw Calvin in the NYC so I kind of knew what to expect from his set. Thankfully, he had a few surprises like a performance of his new Rob Base-inspired heater. I like this joint a lot. On the other side, special guests Too $hort and the Lady of Rage pop up. Ain’t nuthin’ like a gangsta party.
So Saturday night before I hit the AMA’s, I was in the Yay Area for the final date of the “How The West Was One” Tour. Although the homie Nipsey Hussle got tangled with the jakes, I still had a good ole time. Here’s Mr. David Blake runnin’ through his classic “Born and Raised In Compton”. After the jump, another one of his biggest hits, “Tonight”.
I wasn’t the first nigga to bring a platinum plaque back to the projects, but I’m sure I was the first nigga to flip cam Dick Clark’s award show. By the time Em and Curtis came out, I felt bold enough to fully record. After the jump, get up and close personal with A Keys and her flying piano. You know me. I’m a sucker for that grainy, cinema-verite footage. 100!
Looks like the man on the moon has landed on Neptune. Take off for Cudder in 2010. Spotted: DatNewCudi via Pharrell

Apparently, the tracklist we posted was fugazi. Check out the real deal below. Above is the official album cover. 1. Forever 2. Hell Breaks Loose (Featuring Dr. Dre) 3. Buffalo Bill 4. Elevator 5. Taking My Ball 6. Music Box 7. Drop The Bomb On ‘Em HHNM
Here’s something you don’t receive everyday: two new leaks from Usher. If it weren’t for Plies’ verse, the first track sounds promising. The second however, falls short overall. Check ’em out below. “Hey Daddy (Daddy’s Home)” Ft. Plies “In My Bag” Ft. T.I. Props: Splash
Not one, but two sneak peeks of Timbo’s next visuals for his collaboration with Drake on Shock Value II. Check for the other after the jump.
In the second part of Snoop’s interview with Green Lantern, Tha Doggfather gives his take on folks falsely claimin’ Blood or Cuz. Afterward, he dissects hip-hop’s regional scene and claims to have broken Yung Joc’s smash “It’s Goin’ Down” back in 2006.
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.
