By now, Bow Wow’s probably well aware what most of you think of his rap career. It’s fabricated. It’s the gift of networking at a young age. It’s long past its prime. That’s all well and dandy, but Shad’s not quitting his day job and looks to silence a few critics with his newly liberated Greenlight 4 mixtape. Read the rest of this entry »

Some time ago, a video surfaced with Khaled and Ace Hood in the studio previewing a T-Pain assisted-song which would later end up on the former’s new album Blood, Sweat & Tears. From what I could hear, the record seemed promising and one I hoped would get some push behind it once the time came. Well, fast forward a few months and the time is now.

Can someone please tell me who the hell Mann is? Actually, based off the little I’ve heard, seen and his ultra-generic moniker, the LA MC may just be a robot. Read the rest of this entry »

Who said R&B cats are the only one who can croon sweet nothings and harmonies for the sheets? Complete with the bottle popping, p*ssy eating duo of T-Pain and Tunechi, Kansas City’s own Tech Nina is down for the cause. Read the rest of this entry »

He may be “booked out ’til August” but the time is now for Ace Hood to have a block party in front of the coroner’s office, handing out toe tags with the We The Best logo stamped on them. His third album, Blood, Sweat And Tears, is on the way but DJ Infamous is helping the young Miami rapper carry out the autosopies on his Body Bag Vol. 1 mixtape. Read the rest of this entry »

The other day I had an interesting conversation that sort of “revolved” around T-Pain being a has-been and serving no relevance what so ever. In some respect, the Teddy Pain train has lost a chunk of it’s steam with Auto-Tune being “dead” and all, yet the idea of his relative career being six feet under was a bit of stretch. On any given Sunday, you can still catch the Nappy Boy helming a hook that will penetrate the Billboard charts and most of the material he really puts his heart into Read the rest of this entry »

When Nate Dogg passed in March, a disturbing trend emerged. Excuse me, reemerged. As a head-scratching and all-around ugly attribute of Hip Hop, the genre again flashed its uncanny ability to belittle one person while attempting to praise another. I’m sure some super-intellectual, psycho-personal reason explains this, but that remains another battle for another war. Read the rest of this entry »

“Never slippin, I’m ballin, Puff keep on callin’
I don’t see none of you pussies, fuck that shit you be talkin’
Rep Miami the ghettos, every hood and the projects
And when I drop off my singles, I’m droppin’ one of my targets
Lord forgive me for my siiiiiinnnnns, I gave you hits
I gave you “All I Do Is Wiiiiiiiiinnnnnn” Read the rest of this entry »

YMCMB is all about the green and green screens when Birdman Daddy Warbucks makes the Forbes list. Baby, T-Wayne and Mack Maine get money. Who knew? For this particular outing, they might as well call themselves the Cash Money Quackbusters because this shit is as cartoonish as it gets. Read the rest of this entry »

Yeah, the name is hella familiar and you know damn well this isn’t Baby’s first time discussing the 0′s in his bank account. But the brand is Cash Money Records and they’re going to talk their shitnanny until the IRS boys come for the full monty. Reworking the wheel of fortune one more ‘gan for the Big Pop’s Bigger Than Life, T-Pain screams, Weezy is on lean and Mack Maine is clearing checks in the mean…time. Read the rest of this entry »

Eternally yours and a girl’s best friend, Trina is draped in diamond-encrusted longevity. It’s been over 10 years since she didn’t know “Nann” but she could probably teach you a thing or two about laying around in Twenty Eleven. Wait, that came out wrong. Fiddlesticks. Moving on, the Diamond Princess is cementing her royalty with DJ’s Ill Will and Holiday for her Diamonds Are Forever extravaganza. That’s VVS, Tiffany & Co, better-than-the-album action for your ass.

Can you believe this? In anticipation for his Cash Money debut We The Best Forever, the possibly deaf DJ Khaled has the nerve to call up damn near every rapper registered to ASCAP and BMI combined for his open-armed remix to “Welcome to My Hood,” but leaves out the one guy you would just assume to be featured.

Making movies for videos is totally in these days, so, Snoop Dogg is rolling out the red carpet with an action-packed featurette that’ll make Jason Statham jealous. In a post-apocalyptic universe where Snoop and Teddy Pain are the only males left, it seems to be nothing but good fun on the horizon. Don’t you feel sorry for them? Read the rest of this entry »

I stumbled upon this crap clip the other day while bypassing 106 & Park through the channel surf. To the naked eye, it seemed like “I’m So Hood” was their featured old-school or throwback montage for the day. Upon further inspection, the scenes were overly familiar yet the tune wasn’t as recognizable, but I knew I had heard it before. Read the rest of this entry »
