Believe it or not, during an exclusive interview with MTV, an oddly-braided Shyne Po surprisingly went into detail about how he’d just gotten off the phone with his former mentor Diddy. More odd than the phone call, though, is how they apparently plan on deading their beef Read the rest of this entry »

While most rappers these days are warming the bench for the one-and-done shot on the major playing field, Red Café is content with aiming to be the biggest independent power on the planet. Bad Boy is moving in slow motion so in the meantime, RC is paying homage to his own backyard with a mixtape in album format. Read the rest of this entry »

Only a few months ago, Rick Ross’ career momentum was momentarily crippled by a series of seizures. The unofficial official word connected his ailments to exhaustion due to working too hard. Fast forward to early ’12, Ross must be well rested and recuperated because he’s back with a new drop, the Rich Forever mixtape Read the rest of this entry »

Quickly becoming one of our favorite posts to dedicate time towards – mainly because it involves both the writers and those who graciously stop by our neck of the e-woods – we present the third installment of The Maildrop. Read the rest of this entry »

Diddy isn’t too high on a lot of people’s lists as far as favorite musicians/businessmen are concerned, but here’s one thing he does do well. In fact, he’s one of the all time greats at this certain quality. Talking cash money sh*t on wax is what the Ciroc Boy was put on this Earth for, even if it did get Tip nearly sent back to the clink. Puff takes his vocal talents to the remix of French Montana’s “Shot Caller” Read the rest of this entry »

Remember when I said about a month ago we hit rock bottom with the NBA lockout? I lied. As of yesterday, we really hit rock bottom. Of course, there still remains a glimmer of hope God himself will hand deliver a miracle. But there’s also a chance Jerry Sandusky opens a daycare, too. Read the rest of this entry »

“Victory” is one of 1997′s standout moments and proof Diddy, the popstar, was well on his way to taking over our lives. But you know what else it held? The scary, exciting and ultimately depressing evidence that Biggie Smalls was only going to get better. Read the rest of this entry »

Just so we can all move forward with our lives, both T.I. and Puffy have addressed this past weekend’s activities at Atlanta’s Compound nightclub and the f*ckery that occurred. Read the rest of this entry »

T.I.’s homecoming weekend almost sent him back to the big house. No more than seven days free, the Atlanta rapper decided to take part in the annual Black fish fry known as the BET Hip-Hop Awards as the event descended on Atlanta and he attended a welcome home party/Awards afterparty at The Compound. Not the best idea but not the worst either. Read the rest of this entry »

“But uhh, a thug changes, and love changes/And best friends, become strangers…”

Nostalgia at its finest here in this picture. J. Lo and Puffy together in happier times. Dame and Jay-Z running together like a young Marbury and Garnett. Read the rest of this entry »

“No Ordinary Love (Coming Home Tour Edition)” marks the 6th time the “L” word is attached to a Dirty Money showing and to further increase the similarities, they kind of “pay homage” to the Sade record of the same name. With the smoothness intact, Diddy and his pussycat backup put a new spin on the rhythmic blues scene to commemorate their ongoing tour. Read the rest of this entry »

Dish Network, who clearly has a few hundred-million bucks sitting around and needs a tax write-off, bought out Blockbuster for $320 Million. The news was interesting to me solely for the fact that a.) I hadn’t even thought about Blockbuster for years and b.) I have no earthly idea why Read the rest of this entry »

“And since my case, I got all guns in my mama name…”
