Father’s Day was two months ago. I wonder if any rappers sent Ja a card. More after the jump.

Hey, Jay-Z wasn’t the only MC who tore down APW Friday night. Kamaal did his thing on another stage a few minutes before the big headliner. Here during his MJ Tribute (every artist must have one!), the Abstract shows off his “Dancing Machine” moves before divin’ into his Dilla-produced banger from The Renaissance.
Props: Mo Is Dead Serious

By the time I walked into the arena last night, Soulja Boy was finishin’ up his set with “Turn My Swag On.” I looked around and was like, “This is some strange shit, a rap show right near the beach—the fuckin’ sun is still out for Chrissakes”. It especially got weirder for me when Da Snowman came out and did his entire set before it even turned dark. Guess YN don’t like outdoor hip-hop shows. Jenkins deserves better!

You know Mr. Carter’s “father” had to represent during the night’s festivities. Here Cash Money’s one-two punch run through a few of their finest musical moments together. Like I said on Twitter, “Always Strapped” is quietly one of the best joints of the year.

Last night at the America’s Most Wanted show in Jones Beach, Weezy F spoke on his protege Drake’s recent re-injury and says that a lil Sunday surgery was on the sked. Why do I not believe him? He then goes into “3 Peat.”
Pardon that muffled bass and the white bright spotlight.

After Asher performs “I Love College” on the Houston leg of the Great Hangover Tour, Uncle Bun gives him his props and says: “I’m a keep it one-hundred….That was one of the best hip-hop shows I’ve ever seen.” Word, ain’t no mistakes allowed.
Yep: NR

One mo’ before I head to Jones Beach to see Weezy. Here’s SC schoolin’ the White youth on an RD classic. Who knew you could rock out the classic Isaac Hayes break? Good shit!

Love the band’s breakdown as Jay reminds us of the time when he murdered Kanye on his own shit. After that, well the “Roc Boys” are in the house. What else? Word to Cafe. It’s a celebration, bitches.
Oh yeah I forgot, ask Hov where he got the chain remains line from. It wasn’t Treach. Ha!

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.
