“Hoover, Hova.”
After a gang of radio interviews, Morning Show Hov touched down in the Chi and did his 1-2 thing at the House of Blues. No Mr. West, but Mr. Carter takes a lil’ time to address the “Haters,” with the song’s first ever performance. Yes sir!

It’s been well documented that Jay doesn’t jot his lyrics. But in this clip, Guru reveals that Hov uses the Mac application, GarageBand as a refrence tool. Ayo technology!
No, “Yes Men” here. Guru admits to telling Hov his opinion on his records. In fact, he says Jay switched his verses on “Already Home” and “Forever Young.” Good luck on finding those, leakers. Sidebar: Pardon the low audio. Squeeze the juice out your headphones/speakers.
Drake’s homie Oliver aka The Parisien Gangster unleashed some BB flicks late last night. Above is a flick from the GQ Men of The Year Issue shoot which paired Wale, Kid Cudi and Drake all together. And below are some photos from the two videos Drizzy shot this weekend before he went into surgery today. That’s right, this kid might actually get his knee fixed. Let’s go!
It’s 6:30 a.m. and Jay-Z is doin’ interviews to promote BP3. After begging for about a year, Cipha & Rosenberg finally get their man. Pause.

I remember when MTV had their VMA details on lock and key. Well in today’s Twitter Nation that’s hard. First, news broke about Jay-Z and Alicia possibly closing the show with “Empire State of Mind,” now comes word that MJ’s baby sis is workin’ day and night to do her brother justice with an amazing performance. Can’t wait. Sidebar: Can you believe the fucks at Viacom are frontin’ on Double R press credentials? I invented the 1515 Boys! Ha. Don’t […]
Screw cash for clunkers. This weekend, Ludacris’ gave away 20 pre-owned whips to the financially strapped. As I always say, four wheels beat two heels. Props: HHNM
Last Friday, I caught up with engineer extraordinaire Gimel “Young Guru” Keaton at Roc The Mic studios. For nearly a decade, Guru’s added the finishing touches on all of The Roc’s releases. With Blueprint 3 in stores today, he spoke on the album’s delay and fine tuning it in the 50th state. More clips on the way.
This past weekend, Victor celebrated his 33rd cumpleaños. And what better way to commemorate than with a life size Newport Noreport cake. Take a bite and get laced like ash tray face.
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.
