By all means I think somebody’s CD is close to springing a leak. Guess the labels are on their shit about preventing the usual two week leak period. By the way, I remember when this was a Jeezy reference track Drake did. Looks like the Trill OG got his hands on it.

So, if you follow Kanye West on that social networking site of 140 character or less you’ll know he’s taken it over with the absolute quickness. Highlights of baby mama jets, fashion, goblets and hundreds of thousands of retweets and true to his ego, Kanye worries only about himself and his own as he follows nobody.
He let the High Brow section of the New York Times get a glimpse (meaning snippet) of the video before anybody else. The video was…
…created by the artist Marco Brambilla, Mr. West is seen standing imposingly with a heavy chain around his neck. As Mr. West raps the camera slowly zooms out in one continuous, unedited take to reveal him in a classical structure, surrounded by female attendants who are partly or entirely nude; some kneel before him on all fours, others wear devil horns and still others are suspended upside down from the ceiling. The Sword of Damocles hangs precariously over Mr. West’s head, and behind him an unseen executioner is preparing to strike him with a blade. (ArtsBeat was allowed to watch a portion of this video but was not permitted to post it.)

Rah Digga is linking up with producer Nottz for her sophomore album Classic slated for a September 21st release. Most folks might not care about Ms. Digga but I damn sure do. Dirty Harriet was pretty good, especially everything that was handled by Nottz. Tracklist and album artwork on the bottom. Up top is her video for This Ain’t No Lil’ Kid Rap. Schoolteacher Rashia = nice. Word to A.C. Slater.
Nicky D’s enlists Minneapolis producer DECA-1 to release his 3rd mixtape entitled Consistency.

From my home away from home, DJBooth.net presents newness from Kooley High, a North Carolina bred, Brooklyn based crew of dopeness. Three rappers (Tab-One, Charlie Smarts, & Rapsody), two producers (Foolery & The Sinopsis), one DJ (DJ ill Digitz) – seems like they have every facet of rap down to a core.
Doesn’t matter where they’re from or where their compass points, Kooley High much like Houston’s The Niceguys are a representation that group hip-hop is still alive and will cover every in-house position with actual talent.

These two in a room together is already funny but for his “Between Two Ferns” internet series, Zach invited his Dinner For Schmucks co-star, who has apparently seen how Zach treats people. It’s the most awkward promotion for the movie which is getting a wide release tomorrow in theaters.
Even if Carell is leaving The Office, they need a new boss. Either that or just give him a new show with nothing but improv comedy and watch the ratings come in droves.
One of my favorite internet sports clips will always be Steve Porter’s Press Hop, a track he created specifically using some of the best sports tantrums of the last decade or so. For Press Hop 2, of course LeBron gets it. So does Ron Artest and Tiger Woods. The original got so big they had to debut this one yesterday on SportsNation.
Speaking of the original, if you’ve yet to see it – the clip is on the bottom.
Seems unfinished but the messages here are pretty thought provoking to say the least. YMHD got a hold of this, plus a grip of other unreleased tracks from Game, Gucci Mane and others. You can download that tape here. As far as Jermaine goes…
