“Shit is weird, this the longest, niggas been apart/ I sent that money to your wifey and it came from the heart.”
H-A-V-O sends a kite to his incarcerated partner Prodigy. Like LL’s “Billie Jean” tribute, this is surprisingly good.

But then again, can you really lose with a Chi-Lites sample. I even liked this back in the days. Ha!
Off the From Now On mixtape. Here’s the full link.
[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.866688&w=425&h=350&fv=%26rel%3D0%26border%3D0%26] Before the canceled Canadian dates (wait now Weezy’s claiming the sniffles?), AMW rolled through Concord Cali Saturday night. Jeezy continued to get his Ed Sullivan on and brought out the ambassador with the colorful language. It was only right. Fo’ shizzle. Sidebar: Two men were arrested outside the concert that night. Oops.
Last night me and a gang of media folks paid a visit to R.Kelly’s pad on the outskirts of Chicago. As Miss Info stated, Kellz’s crib looks more like a fortress than a humble abode. Camera’s and cell phones weren’t permitted inside (how’d ya do it Minya?!) but as you enter his his living room, there’s a stage adjacent to his music awards. After several minutes, Kelly emerged and encouraged us to make ourselves at home. Once dinner and drinks […]
As if 60 Minutes wasn’t enough, Russell Rush got M.V. to cry out to the Black folks who don’t watch the television news magazine. Grab your hanky, here he goes again. “Sitting in a prison cell didn’t make me feel remorse. It was meeting so many animal lovers, speaking with them and looking them in their eyes. Staring at them. Looking so deep into their eyes that I began to feel their pain. Allowing that pain to enter into my […]

We all know our homegirl Angela Yee’s raunchy sex talk show has your favorite MCs too shook to appear on. But who knew R&B singers were in the same gang. While Chico DeBarge keeps his cool, his fellow crooner Joe catches feelings over the usage of the word “pause” and dips out of the interview. Jigga said grow a set. Ha!
Props: Team Yee
Guess Poppa Joe finally wasn’t lying for once. MJ will indeed be laid to rest on August 29th at the famous burial site, Forest Lawn Memorial Park. Pretty crazy that it’s taken this long. Thankfully, his brain will be included. Props: Rolling Stone Update: According to TMZ, his final resting place is in the Great Mausoleum section of the park. No go for public viewings.

[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.866689&w=425&h=350&fv=] I’m really sick of these less than 60 seconds video teasers, but this is to promote Cee-Lo and the crew gettin’ back together for their Sept 19th show in the ATL so it gets a pass. Plus I fucks with the Motion Family. Here Gipp shares his thoughts. Guess each member gets his own shine in the next 3 upcoming promo spots. Yipee. Props: MG
Looks like Wendy Williams has two replacements for her recently departed WBLS afternoon show. Salt-N-Pepa’s here! Yup, the greatest female rap group of all-time have gone from reality TV to on-air radio disc jocks. Think I can speak for most in my circle and say I have zero interest in listening to this. Love her or hate her, Wendy’s an institution and I can’t see either one of these hip-hop legends filling up her high heels. FAIL.
[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.866690&w=425&h=350&fv=%26rel%3D0%26border%3D0%26] I’m a grown-ass man. 38, to be right and exact and I can admit I like this joint a lot. LOL smiley face. LOL smiley face, nigga. You got a problem? Here’s a lil’ taste of it live from a few nights ago. This Trey Songz kid is startin’ to grow on me. Especially if Kells disappoints… Props: Sermon Sidebar: Wonder if Mr. Folarin got that track yet.
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.
