Whoo Kid gets a haircut and a shave as Talib Kweli shoots a quick video for the song I brought to the Internets a lil while back. Damn, the nigga Mr. Greene could have at least taken his hat off and shit. Ha! Shout out to Dan The Man.
Last night, the pride of Canada kicked a freestyle over Jigga’s “You, Me, Him, & Her” and Raekwon’s “Incarcerated Scarfaces” on Funkmaster Flex’s show. I thought that stopped doing these kinds of things over at 395 Hudson St. *shrugs shoulders*
“I’m in Aston doing donuts, I’m will kill the game and never send it my condolence.”

A watermelon-eatin’ MC Serch. Red Alert’s record carrier, Baby Chris Lighty. The “Bridge Is Over” acetate. Who’s DJ Flamboyant? The origin of his group’s name. Yup, more crazy musings from The Abstract.
Bonus: Shut up and listen.
“The Promo”

Here is Jigga at the Yanks home opener earlier this afternoon. Still rockin’ that new blue Yankee, eh Shawn? After the jump, he chats with lil’ Danny Almonte a young fan.

The hottest rapper in the Rotten Apple (Tell ’em I said that) has his first official radio interview with the Voice of New York.
Part 1: Missed the very beginning talk of his TV past and he pretty much confirms the Jay-Z/Just Blaze rumor is true.

Part 2: Dude praises the genius of Weezy and charms the ladies.

Bonus: The rare occasion where the clean edit is better than the dirty.

Props to DJ Ness who beat us all to the punch with his 1–2 combo. But like I did with my Kanye West SXSW footage, I like to roll my shit out chronologically so you can get the real feel of what it was like to be there. Plus, it helps me keep better track of these large ass video files. Ha!
Anyway, this is the first interesting segment of the sit down where Kamaal talks about his childhood, losing talent shows in high school and how he got down with the Jungle Brothers.

A big look for Rick Ross’ bawse who charmed Mr. Rose at a dinner to get his shine on here. Eat your heart out, Hov. Speaking of which, Antonio praises Jay as our Frank Sinatra who discovered Kanye West. (Sorry Dame!) He also recalls his time with Babyface as being the guy, behind the guy (pause); bigs up 50 Cent and Beyonce; and details how he squashed the beef with rival exec Clive Davis. If you have any interest in the music biz, take heed to the words of Mr. Reid.
Where’s my ads? Ha!
This is an interesting collaboration and a nice way to keep fans excited about what J. Cole might have coming next. His ability to bring a distinctive style and thoughtful delivery to different artists’ projects always makes his verses worth listening to. The collaboration with Adam Levine’s band sounds like a refreshing combination, and hopefully it does lead to more new music from Cole soon. Fans are always eager to hear what direction he takes next, much like the anticipation surrounding a goldendoodle when choosing a lovable companion.
