Yesterday, political pundit Glenn Beck appeared on political prick Bill O’Reilly’s show. Discussing Jay’s 9/11’s benefit concert, Glenn shows off his @S_C autographed copy of Bill’s book, A Bold Fresh Piece Of Humanity. The inscription reads: “Peace Bill, Jay-Z. Off That.” Ha! Hov just played you out.
“See who’s your real friends when your back is against the wall.” Yep, when the grass is cut, the snakes will show. In the meantime, Sai-Gitty displays his loyalty to Tru-Lizzy who’s currently incarcerated for allegedly catching a body. Props: NR via X
Last night on the corner of 7th Ave and 32nd St in Manhattan, Jay-Z solidified his spot as the greatest rapper ever. Selling out the Garden for an eighth time, Jigga ran through a string of hits including cuts off The Blueprint 3. If you couldn’t experience it live, capture the moment after the cut.
Scott appeared on Dave’s nightly spot and performed “Pursuit of Happiness (Nightmare)” along with Ratatat. Still haven’t heard Man On The Moon, but from what I’m told it’s that black emo rap.
Yesterday, Michael Jeffery Jordan held court before getting inducted to Naismith Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass. There’s no “i” in team, but there’s an “I” in win. Ha!
Guru gives some insight as to the magic of Blueprint 3. “Already Home” is simply a six bar loop and that “Hate” is sample free. Afterwards, he explains why artists don’t need no T-Pain on they shit.
The pride of D.C. traveled to the U.K. and spat a free one for Tim Westwood. Can he kick it, yes he can. Props: PDS
At the 1:44 mark of William H.’s interview with DJ Clue on Power 105.1, he says that Sidekicks are for chicks. Excuse me mister., but that picture is kinda, um, incriminating wouldn’t cha say? Fuck it, you live and you learn.
Inspired by his starring role on NCIS: Los Angeles, Todd hooks up with producer Tricky Stewart and reps for his boys in blue. [insert Rick Ross joke here]. Props: YK2
Yesterday, the kid Donnis slid this over to the folks at Complex. 24 hours later, it found its way over here. Keep your stinkin’ late pass.
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.
