[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3476242&w=425&h=350&fv=] Yeah the Lil Wayne episode was cool and all but are you ready for Mr. Brown, the former king of R&B? We’re one day away from Whitney’s ex’s Behind The Music and I can hardly contain my excitement. I’ll be tuned in, I suggest you do the same.

After we broke the first look of Em and Slaughterhouse appearing together in the “Forever” video, the Internets have been on fire with all types of rumors of how and why that went down. Well my fellow trusted voice, Miss Info, attempts to make sense of it. Minya says: That Slaughterhouse appearance in “Forever,” was indeed a non-verbal announcement of the contract negotiations going on behind the scenes. For the past month, both sides have been working towards bringing the […]

Well he does according to superstar New Orleans point guard, Chris Paul. They even played hoops a few years back. “I went to one of Wayne’s shows … it might have been after my rookie year,” Paul explained. “There was a basketball goal set up outside. He came, we shot the best out of 10. It surprised me — we shot the best out of 10, he made seven. […]
No Jigga. No Sigel. No problem. Here’s a lil taste of what H-Town’s finest is bringing to this evening’s Hip-Hop Honors festivities. Yup, tonight’s da night of the taping and me and B.Dot ain’t playin’. You take the flip cam out of my back right pocket, I got one in my front left sock. We can’t be stopped. Un-stop-pable!

Looks like one of my favorite Hot Boys’ long-delayed album is finally gonna see the light of day. I think the Grand Hustle/Atlantic connection is no mas, and E1 is the label that pays B. Gizzle. He’s so independent but still with major backing. Check the guest feature-laden lineup after the jump. Props: Hottest Ish
“We in Germany with a Jewish nigga.” Looks like Hov wasn’t the only rap dude kickin’ it recently in Central Europe. Watch a white T’d-out Jason and his crew run through the town as he spits Hov’s verse from “Real As It Gets.” We see you Emory. F DeHaven for cavin’? Hey, I ain’t in it. Ha!
OK Juelz had a chance to change his mind but he’s goin’ with the Fuck Boy feature for his return to the scene. Again, I’m too bias to give it a fair shake, but after a couple of listens I can take it or leave it. Remember: Reagen Era, in stores, Neveruary 33rd, 2022.

Just cuz he moved 100k of his Man On The Moon CD in the first week, doesn’t mean this Martian is too good to perform his signature tune. Once again, Kid Cudi brings his hazy flow to late night. It’s early in the morn, but it’s okay to get your bounce on. Ha! After the jump, a piece of “Pursuit of Happiness” as the end credits roll.
After months of anticipation (and a lil’ procrastination) Drama finally released his mixtape with Mr. Gunz. Download now and tell me whatcha think later. Tracklist after the you-know-what.
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.
