More dopeness from the recent London reunion show as PR and CL pay homage to the Kings of Rock. I caught a chill on this one. Wow. Previously: Pete Rock & CL Smooth “T.R.O.Y.” (London) UPDATE: Two days later in Paris, they did it again. Here’s a full look.
*YN frantically calls travel agent* Calvin
We’re still celebratin’ the King. This is the best tune off his finest posthumous release that I’ve heard thus far. Stevie Wonder wrote the following and how it didn’t end up being on an MJ album before is beyond me. If you don’t like this one, get the fuck off my site and don’t you ever come back. Ha!

Eminem] heard it, and he loved it — but no one else has.” Blink-182’s drummer boy says working on this song was his most challenging yet. But he enjoys the record so much, he added his own beat to it. MTV UPDATE: True master.
Cameras followed 50 Cent to 34th St. last Thursday as he promoted his new fragrance, Power at Macy’s Herald Square. After, he stops by his BISD movie screening. The kid’s got a hustler’s ambition.
Throw your dubs up to track 9 off Malice N Wonderland. The bomb drops December 8th. Again: Splash Previously: Behind The Scenes: Snoop Dogg, Problem, & Nipsey Hussle “Upside Down”
[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3898160&w=425&h=350&fv=] Friday marks the five year death of Ol’ Dirty Bastard. Celebrating his life, Dirty’s former A&R Dante Ross recalled the time Osirus ran a train on a fat chick inside Chung King studios. Shame on you! Props: XXL
Maino adds 16 bars to Alicia’s amazing power ballad. They don’t make records like this anymore. Word to, Berlin. Splash
You know that crappy Dirty Money record radio has brainwashed us into liking? Well, a remix is on the way with Officer Ricky and Lupe Fiasco. Oh, joy. UPDATE: Lupe in the lab layin’ his part down.
On day three of Countdown To Malice, Snoop Dogg’s Uncle June Bug and Dat Nigga Daz engage in a roasting match. To hear June Bug tell it, Daz talks more shit than Cod got liver pills. Ha!
Man, this drop from Masspike Miles is seriously smooth from start to finish. The Road Less Traveled totally delivers on that signature R&B vibe, and the production choices across these tracks are just insane. It honestly feels more complete than a lot of full-length albums out right now. Tracks like "Devoted" with Bun B and the title track hit different when you are just cruising around the city late at night. If you are heading out to grab the physical copy or hitting up a late-night listening session across town, trying to flag down reliable taxi services can sometimes be a real hassle, so planning ahead definitely saves the mood. Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
