Young Chris – Still The Hottest (featuring J. Cole)
March 9, 2010 by Brando
The Roc’s original young gunner links up with the newest acquisition. Both of them eat through the Kanye West sample from “Through the Wire” and build their own case for why the Roc is still the best label in music, regardless if it has the Def Jam battery in it or not.DOWNLOAD: Young Chris – Still The Hottest (featuring J.

Ludacris – Battle of the Sexes [Review]

Ludacris – Battle of the Sexes
Disturbing Tha Peace/Def Jam Records
“Stick to the script.”
With the way relationships are going these days, the topic of men versus women, Mars versus Venus and any other analogy used in the same context has now become common theme in music. Jay-Z himself tried to merely describe the situation he had with a lover on The Blueprint 3, Usher crafted a slow jam to describe the battle between the two sides in the bedroom and Ludacris?
Decided to make a whole album about it.
Well, let’s back track for a second because some topics on Luda’s 7th album kind of stray away from the subject at hand. From the outset, this was supposed to be the album that saw Luda team up with longtime partner in crime Shawnna for a “duet” CD. Yes, Shawnna actually spending time on a CD instead of in Def Jam purgatory.
By the fates, Shawnna found herself splitting with Disturbing the Peace and opting for T-Pain and Nappy Boy Entertainment. So what does a labelhead do at Def Jam knowing that one of the few rappers they actually promote quite heavily has an album on the budget? He scraps the duet idea and instead makes it a regular Ludacris solo CD. And in terms of catalogue, it may have been the weakest output that Luda has ever produced.
Bad Boy Showcase x 1995 Source Awards
March 9, 2010 by BrandoAlso known as the event which “officially” kicked off the East Coast/West Coast beef. The Source released this footage from the vaults of essentially everybody who was anybody on Bad Boy’s roster back in ‘95. You see Craig Mack, Faith Evans, Total, Lil’ Kim & B.I.G. himself. #RIPBIG

T.I. – I’m Back
March 8, 2010 by Brando
On the same day that one Southern rapper turns himself into authorities for a year long stint in federal custody, the man who just got released a few months ago decides to start his campaign to once again be the name of the South. Looks like Tip did his time wisely while in the clink on those weapon charges. Oh and the album? August 24th. He’s back.

Alternate visuals for Cudder’s Man on the Moon single. Is it better than the original? You be the judge.
Mo’Nique’s Oscar Acceptance Speech
March 8, 2010 by BrandoBelieve me, my reaction to Mo winning is right along with Sam Jackson’s. But hell, if her and her husband can sleep around on each other and her look at that statue like it’s only hiding a giant Three Muskateers bar then I guess she can be called Academy Award winner Mo’Nique. And who the utter hell thanks BET?!
There is now a formula for winning an Oscar if you’re a black woman these days and my prediction for who may snag the award next year.

What does one do when he can’t immediately go to sleep? Find new Cudi. Off CuDi’s sophomore album, Cudder: The Revolution of Evolution.

Before being known as the fat guy with the beard in The Hangover, Zach Galifianakis did this to Kanye West’s “Can’t Tell Me Nothing”. A star was born.
Throwback Saturday: Benz Or Beamer Edition
March 6, 2010 by Brando
As soon as I finished hearing Lloyd Banks and Juelz Santana let go own their own steering column on “Beamer, Benz or Bentley”, I had to refresh myself with the original pick one car choice. 1995 saw the two dope boys appear on the New Jersey Drive soundtrack fresh off 1994’s classic Southernplayalisticcadillacmuzik and drop this gem and also gave birth to one of the timeless dances in all of Atlanta and probably the one move that still gets done in the club on the slide today: The Bankhead Bounce.
To me as a diehard OutKast fan, this trumps Banks and Santana although I must say – Juelz is finally showing promise as a damn good MC, a hell of a lot better than his Come Home With Me days.
There’s No Way … Right?
March 6, 2010 by Brando
Chalk this up under random news Brando happens to find at 10 in the morning. Apparently there’s a study (like there always is) that led folks to believe that every year, a chick in the cowgirl position happens to break her man off because she apparently can’t ride him properly. 10,000 of them.
Judge for yourself. My personal take on this … there isn’t a bone down there so technically it can’t break but you can damn sure throw it out of place, lol.
Lil’ Wayne – Drop the World (featuring Eminem) [Video]

Fuck is a March 11th? One of Weezy’s last videos before he heads to the clink. Good thing they decided on making the best song from Rebirth a single.
Yo Gotti – Men Lie, Women Lie (featuring Lil’ Wayne) [Video]
March 5, 2010 by BrandoPyrex King & Weezy get visuals for Gotti’s second single. Do I see it being bigger than that terrible female anthem “5 Star Chick”? No.
