[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3828353&w=425&h=350&fv=] The Red Bull Big Tune Battle of the Beats went down last night at the Opera in Atlanta. Aspiring beat makers competed and Jadakiss performed. The highlight of the night came from Alchemist and Just Blaze’s beats by the pound. Props: DJ KillaTouch & Info
Today, Fuse kicks off their Hip Hop Invasion at 7 P.M. Weezy’s segment begins at midnight. Here’s a quick clip of him explaining how he joined Cash Money. Props: LilWayneHQ
Hmm, I bet. 52 weeks after America elected it’s first Colored president, Diddy turns the big 4-0. He told you he won’t stop. Above is a clip from his staff last year. OG Diddy’s for everybody! May all your dreams come true.
Simply put: Jay Electronica’s loco! Before performing “Exhibit C” back to back…to back, he ran through some underground favorites and spoke—a lot. More after the jump, chump.
So it appears Hov has indeed linked up with Kanye’s bloke for BP3’s next video. The director spilled the beans and hopefully we’ll get some flicks from the set soon. Heads up: Omen
24 hours ago, the Soul Train Music Awards taping took place in ATL. And of course, the artists took to Twitter. Here’s what went down. Pics via TheLifeFiles
Hov travels across the pond again and appeared on UK’s Later With Jools Holland last night. Above, he performs the New York Anthem and after the jump, he’s got “99 Problems”. Oh yeah, word on the street is he is shooting another video while out there.
Last night at his “secret” Red Bull-sponsored show in NYC, Jay got tipsy off the Jack and went in several times on the song that has the Internets goin’ nuts. Best seat in the house! Ha! B.Dot got more footage on way and here’s full audio from Grand Good.
For those occupying the 50 States, today is election day. And to commemorate the day, Joell slid over this new freestyle. Oh yeah, he’s endorsing NY mayoral candidate Bill Thompson too. Polls close at 9:00 p.m.
During Sigel’s rant on “Whatchu Talkin Bout”, Beans was mum as to who “wanted to give him some real money”. Well this morning, 50 revealed to Miss Jones (remember her?) on Power 99 in Philly, that he wanted to sign Beanie for roughly $800,000 after he served a year and a day in 2005.
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.
