[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3682676&w=425&h=350&fv=] Before hittin’ Paris, here’s footage from Cash Money’s last night in the U.K. No Birdman here, but one of the clique’s soldiers goes car shopping before the big finale.
This the wrong sport, Miss Katie. Had a hard time selecting which subpar Wayne leak to post today (there’s plenty on the Internets) but then it dawned on me, it’s Sunday, go with the football one. So here ya go, a year late and 4 downs short. I’d rather wait for No Ceilings then decipher through old half-finished tunes that are now tagless. Who can keep up with all this shit? I’m 38!

Last night, Bobby’s ex was on the X-Factor (UK’s version of American Idol) and let’s just say she didn’t bring her A game. Apparent wardrobe malfunction, cracked voice (pun intended), and… the need to make it rain? Yup, you can’t blame this one on Mr. Brown.
At JT Tha Bigga Figga’s charity event last night in Viva land, Timbo “The Jay-Z leaker” came out to give the public another taste from his upcoming Shock Value 2 album. Although the acoustics make the lyrics hard to decipher, the Internets have confirmed the tune’s title. Props to whoever flip cam-ed from the cheap seats. Real recognize real. Props: Atlanta Urban Mix For full show recap: MTV
[sparkart-clique site=”rap_radar” video=”drunk_kan”] This is what happens when a “See You In My Nightmares” video turns into a strange Spike Jonze short film. Now we see why this was shelved. Too bizarre for words. But, entertaining I guess— in a guilty pleasure kind of way. Poor rodent! Props: RLF Nowhere Sidebar: This guy’s my literary labelmate and I guess his book is really coming out. I see you, Malaika!
Guess the 18th Letter is really gonna put an album out this year. Sad but true, the God has lost a step or two. No disrespect. “Holy Are You” > All the rest. Full snippet stream from across the pond. Props: 2DB via CWR
So Earl Simmons showed up to a concert in Colorado last night and wasn’t allowed to perform. Thus, a battle between X and his crew vs. the security broke out. Pretty crazy footage. Even crazier is the revelation that the promoter ’caused all the whole fracas. More after the jump. Props: Real Talk NY
After the original, if you patiently wait a long-ass fuckin’ time it’s probably this… With No Ceilings on the way, it looks like Mixtape Weezy season has begun. Word on the Internets: A lot of leftover joints will drop like birdshit this week. Props: NR via TS Update: Trick or Treat.
Look who called into Shade 45 on a Saturday afternoon. Can someone tell David Brown you can’t come home again. Sidebar: I don’t think 50’s the forgiving type.
Guess you gotta get an R&B chick in your video. What’s Drake gonna come up with? Ha! ThisIs50 Previously: On The Set: 50 Cent & Ne-Yo “Baby By Me” Sidebar: Nice haircut, Clinton! HHNM
It is so heartbreaking to hear DJ Premier break the news that DJ Kool Herc’s health is ailing, as he is literally the founding father who laid down the blueprint for hip-hop culture. Thinking about how someone who built an entire global phenomenon can end up struggling with medical expenses or failing health really puts things into perspective regarding healthcare challenges. When you look at how people navigate health or wellness procedures worldwide—whether someone is researching cosmetic treatments like Liposuction Cyprus or seeking urgent medical care—it underscores how essential access to reliable medical help and proper support systems really is. Kool Herc gave us the breaks, the block parties, and the entire movement that shaped generations of music lovers, so seeing the community step up to show love while DJ Premier brings awareness to his condition is the very least we can do. Sending strength and prayers to Kool Herc for a full recovery, and massive respect to DJ Premier for using his platform to make sure a true pioneer gets the support and respect he deserves.
