If you missed the Glow in the Dark tour or do not plan on going to it, you have my upmost permission to kill yourself. I see now why Kanye said what he said last week. His performance last night was amazing (pause).
The Roots featuring Chrisette Michele and DC’s own Wale performing Rising Up. Do not forget The Roots Rising Down album dropped in stores today. Best believe, I will be picking this up on my way home from work later on today.
Jay jacks Too Short’s “Blow the Whistle” and goes at Deshawn Stevenson and the Wizards. Listen to the dis track and read more after the jump. Read more »
First and foremost big ups to the Wizards for bodying the Cavs last night in their 108-72 victory here in DC. From Lebron’s response to Deshawn Stevenson saying that going at him is like Jay-Z going at Souljah Boy, Souljah Boy was in the building last night with court side seats. Above is a press conference that Lebron and Souljah boy held. LOL. I wonder how the after party turned out last night.
As much as I am looking foward to the Glow in the Dark tour as well as Hot 97’s Summer Jam, one of the biggest venues I am anticipating to see is the Rock the Bells 2008. They recently announced the line up and I must say this line is a real solid one: A Tribe Called Quest, Nas, Mos Def, De La Soul, Rakim, Method Man, Redman, Raekwon, Ghost Face Killah, Immortal Technique, Dead Prez, MURS, Spandrock, Kid Sister, Santogold, The Cool Kids, Jay Electronica, Wale, B.O.B., Kidz in the Hall, Amanda Blank, Flosstradamus, with special guest The Pharcyde. The concert will be hosted by Cypress Hill’s B-Real along with Supernatural and Scratch. Read more »
The latest video from the Roots off their Rising Down album that drops next week. Chrisette Michele is looking mighty scrumptious as always and big ups to the homie Wale for reppin’ our area. He has had the internet going nuts lately (pause)
Warren Barrow, the former manager of Biggie and producer of the upcoming Biggie biopic, Notorious announces above that he started a blog called notoriousblog.net that he will continue to update during the filming process of the flick. Be sure to check it out from time to time to read up on some updates of making the movie including some behind the footage scenes, filming info, etc. I am definitely looking foward to this release.
Saturday night my homie and I went to this club. It was a small joint called Gallery that is located on the border of Maryland and D.C. It was decent and very chill. As soon as I walked in, standing at the bar to my left, stood Keyshia Cole and two of her friends. I started bugging the fuck out and couldn’t believe it. I was stuck. Read more »
I don’t know how Inga pulled off only doing eight months of her one year bid, but earlier this afternoon, the Brooklyn Don Diva was officially released from Rikers Island and was greeted by fans, friends and her family including her mother above. Momma Marchand has that “this bitch is crazy” look on her face.
“This is a big day for me,” Brown told SOHH. “To have everybody here that I love, my whole family, the whole Brooklyn, the officers that took care of me at Rikers. Eight months to the day, I remember going in in August and I said when I come out, I’m coming out even better. And I’m back baby, it’s a wrap.”
I really wish her well and hopefully months behind bars taught her a lesson. However, I will not be surprised if she gets into trouble again.
The homie Goat posted footage during a rehearsal of Gravy as BIG performing one of my favorite BIG joints, “Warning” for the Biggie movie. Although he is sorta off sounding like the legendary rapper, he does resemble him a lot appearance wise and his stage presence. On stage is Lil Cease played by Tristan Wilds as well as Puffy who is played by Derek Luke. You can clearly tell with the dancing who Diddy is.
SIDE NOTE: Thanks again Goat for emailing me Ja’s Venni Vetti Vecci earlier my duke.
Rickey Smiley is a fuckin fool. I always watch this from time to time and I laugh every single time viewing this. It’s pretty old, but definitely a classic. The actual entire hour show Smiley did was hilarious, so if anybody knows where I can get this in it’s entirety please let me know.
Tonight Jay-Z and Mary J Blige will appear on the Tavis Smiley show. Above is part of the interview where Hov speaks on starting the Rocawear clothing line. It is funny how he mentions Iceberg. I remember spending tons of money on Iceberg back in the day and now it just sits in my closet collecting dust.
As many of you know Dip Set’s Freekey Zekey escaped death once again recently. This time he was involved in a car crash this past Tuesday night. He was a passenger in this whip when another vehicle rammed him from behind (no homo) that sent his whip flying in the air onto a Hummer. He was released early yesterday and speaks with SOHH about the incident:
“I was coming up 15th and 1st, and my driver was driving, I had three girls in the back and all of a sudden the n*gga runs the red light and hit my car,” he explains. “People that witnessed it said that my car flew up in the air and landed on a Hummer, and the Hummer was parked.”
Zeke, who says he was released from the hospital at around 8 a.m. yesterday, says he did not see the driver of the other vehicle and does not know what kind of car hit him, but he said that the experience was almost surreal for him and that he and the other passengers in the car suffered injuries from the crash.
“No homo, but my jaw’s kind of f*cked up right now,” he joked. “My neck, my back, my neck and my back, they both hurt. I mean, right now I can joke about it, but I’m really in pain.”
LMAO at my neck, my back. Sounds like Freeky was on some Khia shit. I am surprised nothing was reported that any illegal substances or even a loaded toolie was found in his vehicle.
As reported last week, Inga will be released from prison tomorrow after doing 8 months in the bing for her 12 month sentence. Good behaivor I suppose? Doubt it. However, Foxy will start filming for her reality tv show as soon as she gets out. Ya’ll better hide ya’lls Blackberrys.
