Went to see the dude with the #1 album on iTunes last night at NY’s Blender Theater. Missed Roth’s opening act Chester French but I did catch them when they came back out to help Asher deliver his ode to Marshall Mathers. More footage on the way including a surprise appearance of Beanie Sigel who’s clearly on the Mike Tyson diet.

Anybody got some early SoundScan reports?

I feel like I’m back in pre-school. Concentration is a mothafucka.

Damn homie, where ya been?! Here’s a new clip from one of GA’s most underrated rappers. Surmising from the video credits, it looks like Jody’s rolling for self these days. If so, good for him. I always thought dude has the skill set to be a contender in the game.

Here are two of Luda’s cuts off of DJ Smallz’s and DJ Neptune’s, Southern Smoke TV Volume One. Think it’s about time to drop this tape, fellas.

50. You lied to meee. Earlier today, I stopped by Barnes & Noble and left empty handed. Ricky’s album’s out today, so where’s the tell-all? Did you Farhenheit 451 the situation at the last minute? What gives? What do we want? Answers! When do we want ’em? Now!

Sidebar: Though the poster says May 2009, Miss Info got the scoop that the book was dropping the same day as Rick’s album. The date is also confirmed in the recent Village Voice. Deeper Than Rap is in stores now, folks.

Update: Well, whaddya know. Looks like someone’s got a story to tell after all. 

Now that we’ve gotten this Ross vs Roth release thing out the way, it’s time to gear up for what could quite possibly be the Greatest Day in Rap History. What you ain’t notice? How everything in the future revolves around the date May 19? If all goes according to plan you’ll have the much heralded return of Eminem. Plus, a post Aftermath Busta Rhymes product. Fat Joe trudges on. DJ Drama shouts out for recognition. And Meth and Red get their rap vet reunion on. We can’t get an official tracklist from anyone, but it looks like most or all of these will actually come out.

You talk about Super Tuesday. 2009 got your fuckin’ Super Tuesday. Plus, T.I. may turn himself in that day. Now that would be something. Are you startin’ to get excited yet? I know I am. Plus, for you pro-Black historians it’s also Malcolm X’s born day. I am YN and RR approves this message: Save your pennies!
