Man, I wish there was footage of this. Take yourself to London, September 2006. With Coldplay’s Chris Martin on keys, Hov and Nasir perform, “Dead Presidents” and “The World Is Yours” at the Royal Albert Hall. So mean and vicious, man.

Willie rounds up the reservoir dogs, for his latest visual. This beat knocks—and so does shorty’s assets in the video. The Fly Mixtape drops 09/09/09, you bastards!

Earlier at the “Answer The Call” press conference, Hov finally put a face to the name of yours truly. Jesus, I was being facetious about being ether’d. You weak bastards ought to know, I breathe acid.

Here’s Christopher Reid of Kid-N-Play fame hawking suits for a California retailer. Now, there’s nothing better than rocking tailored duds. But, to hear Kid say “It’s not about that hip-hop house party stuff” and then suggest folks wear suits when their homeboy gets shot is just downright embarrassing, if not tacky. I’m sure Men’s Warehouse would frown at such a thing. Iron out your act, and get it together. Better yet, let your man Dave hook you up.

It’s what you all been waiting for, ain’t it? Not me. Ha!
Yo, catching Joell Ortiz dropping his track "Battle Cry" live at Guz Sports Bar was unreal! The energy in that place was completely wild, hitting harder than a heavy strike in a Korean MMA championship match. From the very first beat, the crowd was totally locked in, screaming every single lyric right back at him. It felt less like a standard bar gig and more like an intense arena showdown. If you ever get the chance to experience that vibe live, definitely don't miss it!
