Nobody hearts their record company boss like Bussa-Bus. Happy belated born day Sylvia Rhone. Sorry I missed your surprise party.

Apparently he has a new album out. Coulda fooled me. Damn this guy fell the fuck off. Read this sad account of his in-store performance at one of my favorite NYC record spots.

Here is the artwork for Saigon and Statik Selektah’s collaborative effort All In A Day’s Work on Amalgam Digital. And just because I’m in a good mood, here are two cuts off the album. You’re all welcome! Album drops March 17.

“Spit”

“The Rules”

Raekwon attempts to explain why we’re still waiting for Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II and shoots down the previous leaked songs that he says won’t make the cut.

“I had to make it my business to serve appetizers and that’s what they were. Guess people must of thought it was Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II. I’m in the back laughing because I know at the end of the day these are just Jamaican beef patties.”

I try to tell these Rosenthal characters I’m not an actor. But they keep involving me in their hillarious sketches. Peep our history after the jump.

Looks like The-Dream finally let ole girl leave the hotel. I can’t front no disrespect but I’m not feelin’ ole girl’s new look either.

Ok I can’t get confirmation from the big homie but I heard from a reliable source that Brandy is now signed to Hov’s new Roc Nation label. Plus Jay and his partner in big deal making John Meneilly are also gonna assume management duties. YN expects a perturbed text from SC in 5… 4… 3… 2…

Bonus Throwback:

Young H.O. co-signing a Young Brandy. It was written. Ha!

Catch up if you missed Part 1.

On “Official,” you say “Busta is ferocious/I’m flawed and precocious.” Explain that. What do you mean?
Exactly that: I am not perfect.

And what girl told you that?
I know, I know, right? [Laughs] That

Mrs. Carter is preparing for her world tour and ready to drop videos for her next round of singles, “Broken-Hearted Girl” and “Ego.” How come the latter’s remix with Kanye West hasn’t leaked yet?

Props: Rap-Up who got it from EW.

“The whole thing came together when they decided to reconcile shortly after the attack. Sources tell us music producer Polow Da Don convinced both Chris and Rihanna to get in the studio and record a love song stat, stressing that timing was important because the heightened emotions would translate powerfully into the music.

Both Rihanna and Chris agreed and snuck in a couple of “late night” sessions that we’re told were “very, very emotional … the feeling in the room was pure love.”

The whole thing gets more sickening every day. Your man’s an opportunist.

BONUS:

Missed TMZ’s early report on the story behind the text. Thank God for that Asian. Ha!

Happy Born Day Minya Oh!
