This afternoon, Rihanna gave her second interview since her attack with Alexa Chung. You know, the unfunny Brit on MTV. Anyway, Ri-Ri doesn’t discuss the assault, instead speaks on her new song penned by Ne-Yo called, “Stupid In Love”. Go figure. Fashion talk after the jump.
“You don’t want no incident/ Pay me in increments.” Not one, or two, but three new freestyles from the Ghost. They’re radio friendly, but that’s okay. They all get a pass. “Throw It In The Bag” (Freestyle) “Hustler’s Flow” (Freestyle) “Warm Up” (Freestyle) Again: Splash

Beyoncé is expected to testify in court next month regarding the rights to her track, “Cater 2 U”. Chicago songwriter Rickey Allen claims he was the original author of the song and even penned the title the same way. Due to scheduling conflicts, the trail is now scheduled for December 10th.

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.
