Sometimes when I’m acting silly, I lower my voice down to a whisper and mutter out “Bannnnnnkhead.” Ironically, when Shawty Lo does it, he’s dead serious and that’s how he makes a living. But for what it’s worth, the former D4L member has managed to keep a career through the snap music trends and a wax war with T.I.—so he deserves a little fanfare for his next move. Which just so happens to be a GANGSTA GRILLZEELS with none other than DJ Drama. Read the rest of this entry »

“Baby you rockin’ with g’s, we the Black Kennedys…”

Featuring cameos from Kandi, Toya, Diamond and Princess. See that look on Kandi’s face? It says “trick, we got in the V.I.P. free and we ate @ Ryan’s today. What?” Read the rest of this entry »

You may not have heard of Mams Taylor but obviously he has more than enough industry co-signs to peak even the casual fans interest. Read the rest of this entry »

As explicit as the brandish on the sobriquet reads, Ludacris’ Disturbing The Peace label isn’t making much noise these days. Undeterred, Tity Boi & Dolla Boy, collectively known as Playaz Circle, stay playing their position well enough to see gameday action. Gearing up for their 2nd trip to the big leagues, Flight 360: The Takeoff is a polished approach to the world of trunk rattlers and “stackin’ cheese.” Read the rest of this entry »

Hate to say it but those duffle bag boys are the only ones still rapping with any conviction over at DTP. Ludajuice is coasting, Shawnna’s still getting some head and I-20′s been mum so long, he lost his baritone. No matter, Tity Boi & Dolla World b.k.a. Playaz Circle are gettin’ in where they fit in (which is ghetto fab) with the latest single off their album Flight 360: The Takeoff.

The young Billy Dee of the game, Lil Boosie, drops off “Can’t Stop,” where we find him reminiscing over past loves. Read the rest of this entry »

I truly despise this channel. So much, I keep it tuned in to stay on top of their fuckery, in an enemies-close-kinda-way. Their latest act of business is nothing short of the first class stupidity that’s earned them the right to be Viacom’s Cinderella (minus the fairy godmother) for all these years. As it turns out, Willy Northpole’s “#1 Side Chick” video’s portrayal of a guy with two girlfriends is unfit for their polished programming, as they have declared it banned from future broadcasting.

In a statement collected by SOHH, Willy Northpole’s manager Tiffany Johnson had this to say:

BET didn’t like how the video portrays a man in a relationship with two women. Johnson says there’s no anger in Northpole’s camp toward BET, but the channel’s decision “Kind of hurt, because they’ve shown a lot worse,” she says. “I don’t know how they can say we’re portraying something unwholesome, because the video ends with the man marrying one of the women. I feel our video is tasteful. We were kind of offended. My first thought was ‘Every Girl’ can get played, and we can’t?” (Phoenix New Times)

Fair question, especially with the live rendition from their sloppy award show treading dangerously in to the realm of pedophilia. Read the rest of this entry »

Is anyone even paying attention to Brother Northpole round these parts? His debut album Tha Connect features contributions from Tha Bizness, B.o.B. a.k.a. Bobby Ray and obviously Bobby Valentino and is being released through Ludacris’ DTP label.

Featuring Bobby Valentino, who’ll I’ll throw a pass for rockin the S-Curl fade, circa Ronald Johnson, while singin’ “whoop whoop” in the background. You’re safe this trip Lil Bobby.

I’m more irked by Wayne. Did this lil aggin just employ some strange hand motions around the 1:30 mark? Oh really Dwayne? I swear this dude & Souljah “Shoutouts To Slave Masters” Boy are the prime reasons I don’t watch videos now. Read the rest of this entry »
