Last night on Hot 97, The Kingpin spoke on the fuckery surrounding Beans and Hov. During Roc-A-Fella’s heyday, Flex’s show was the Roc’s battlefield. But after these recent events, there probably won’t be anymore shots fired. Heads Up: Greazy

Last night, Curtis made a surprise phone call to the Gomez Brothers on Shade 45. He mentions that BISD has been pushed up to November 16th and isn’t too concerned about the leak. He also weighs in on the Jay and Beanie debacle and understands Bean’s frustration. Props: HHNM

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3787361&w=540&h=350&fv=] At a Blueprint 3 press conference earlier today, Jay-Z addressed Beanie Sigel diss record. This one’s still hard to digest, y’all. props: StarboyantC  

[sparkart-clique site=”rap_radar” video=”jayz_on_mike_and_mike”] Beans wasn’t the only one on the horn this morning. After performing last night at Yankee Stadium and London, Ontario, Hov called Mike and Mike on ESPN 2. Sorry folks, no mention of “What You Talkin’ Bout.” Instead, he speaks on the Bombers and revealed that the Miami Dolphins approached about ownership.

This morning, Sigel spoke to Charlamagne Tha God on 100.3 The Beat about his diss song, “What You Talkin Bout” and his relationship with Jay-Z. This shit’s heartbreaking. Props: CTG

First the Fat Boys break up…. UPDATE: CDQ x via missInfo

Ok one mo’ from Jay-Z’s DJ Hero press conference today. This quote he gave NYMag is priceless: “I think after a year with DJ Hero I’m gonna start D.J.-ing parties like Q-tip and all those guys. I already got a whole plan: I’m gonna work on this for a year, then I’m gonna get me a little Serato set, work on that for another six months. Then I’m gonna find out who makes the most. I’m gonna charge double that. […]

“You know they actin’ funny in the back, Mac.” Big jammy-jam in Philly last night and two former rivals showed support to one another. During Jadakiss set he surprised the crowd with the hometown boy, Beanie Sigel. He runs through “Mack Bitch,” his verse from Raekwon’s “Have Mercy,” and “Feel It In The Air,” before dissing Jay-Z?!… Ok, tryin’ to figure this out from the footage. After the end of the first verse of “Feel It The Air” which goes […]

From the set of his DJ Hero commercial, Mr. Carter placed a quick call-in to NY’s WBLS and paid his respects to a true radio pioneer. Back in the days, Shawn was a super listener. Please believe it!

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3545408&w=425&h=350&fv=] This afternoon, Boo Boo spoke with Voice of New York on Hot 97. As always, 50 bit his tongue for no one. Take a listen. Part 1: 50 renames Kanye and Lady Gaga’s “Fame Kills” tour. Afterward, he says Jay-Z is the coolest punk. Oy vey! Part 2: Speculates Eminem isn’t happy with the feature on “Forever”. 50 then says his career hasn’t peaked. Part 3: Fif discusses his business venture with Kim Kardashian. Part 4: Ferrari speaks […]

“I just gotta be more careful.” After blamin’ it on the Nuvo, blubberin’ about being hated on for five years, and defending the light-skinned regular chick by his side, Faheem uses Drake’s “Successful” instrumental to send an open letter to Hova. Guess this guy doesn’t believe in Twitter. “Alright, so let’s talk about this Jay shit Somedays I wish that I ain’t never say shit And Diddy said, ain’t no excuse for what I did But I felt like he […]

From across the Atlantic, Jigga Man called Angie Martinez on Hot 97. He spoke on scoring his 11th number one album and Lil Mama crashing his set with Alicia Keys at the MTV VMA’s. Obviously, he wasn’t a happy camper. Previously: Jay-Z Calls Oprah & Gayle

Before hitting the stage last Friday at Wembley Stadium, Hova called into Oprah and Gayle’s satellite radio show. They discuss her mention on Blueprint 3, O’s pass in Marcy Projects and her, um, swagga. This can’t be life. Heads Up: 1515

Mo’ cookies. No apple juice. “Roc Boys” wasn’t the only song Hov performed at Jo Whiley’s house for the BBC Radio 1. Here’s a stripped down take of “Encore,” the song produced by Mr. Carter’s pal, Kanye West. See it all comes together. And yup, a lil “Thank You” at the end. Owww.

Lil Mama copped a plea issued a statement to the 1515 Boys about yesterday‘s proceedings. “I did not mean any disrespect towards Jay-Z or Alicia Keys,” the statement reads. “I admire them and look up to them as role models. ‘Empire State of Mind’ had my emotions running high. In that moment I came up onstage to celebrate my two icons singing about NY.”
