Looks like Z-list rapper Lil Flip (I’d even say a letter below that, but unfortunately, no letter follows Z in the alphabet) has hopped onto the craze Hurricane Chris started with his hit record “She’s Fine (Halle Berry).” Lil’ Flip’s new record is called…what else…“Kim Kardashian.”
Check out the record below, and then pull up the second video, skip to about 43 seconds, and watch the ridiculousness that ensues. My sources say this is most likely the official “Kim Kardashian” dance. Shame.
Lil Flip allegedly is dropping his new album on June 23. Our verdict: GAME OVER…haaaa
So this rumor broke down earlier yesterday that Common had supposedly dissed Lil’ Wayne this past weekend at the HH101 festival in Los Angeles, CA.
Here’s an account of what *supposedly* went down:
Common has been known to drop a subliminal diss here and there. Remember that line that was supposedly for 50 Cent? I don’t know if you do, but that’s of no consequence. Over the weekend, Luda and Common headlined the LA Hip-Hop 101 festival and it was there to educate the youth about real Hip-Hop. When I say real Hip-Hop, I mean more than rap. Common finally came out, and he put on an amazing show, I was informed. He was breakdancing, playing old-school classics it was sick. BUT, according to the people that were there, I heard he dropped a freestyle where he said, “I hate Wayne but I have a lollipop, I hate Wayne but I’d f**k a cop.” I have yet to find any video on the show, but if you do send it over.
Just for the other half of the show…Ludacris, was the the headliner. He was pretty ill and gave the crowd classics like Common before him. He also showed up with Hip-Hop’s favorite booty clapper Shawnna and she did her thing too - killed it. I hope their album together comes out right.
This simply isn’t true…and since LiveFromLAX.com (our other half) was in the building…we wanted to show you the video footage to prove it. Check out the clip below… Common simply says “I Ain’t Lil’ Wayne but I got a lollipop….” There’s no hate people.
So there you have it. We’ll be posting up more clips of Common, Ludacris, and Janelle Monae’s performance at HH101 shortly…
Despite [Soulja Boy's] massive popularity, the rapper’s sophomore album iSouljaBoyTellem has been a disappointment sales-wise, compared to his platinum debut SouljaBoyTellEm.com. He credits the deeper content of new album as its downfall.
Now that you’ve heard Soulja Boy’s alleged reasoning behind his sophomore album, iSouljaBoyTellEm doing terrible numbers, check out this choice record off the album below:
Listen: Soulja Boy- “Gucci Bandana” (Feat. Feat Gucci Mane And Shawty Lo)
I’m going to wake you up this fine Christmas morning with a promotional photo of R&B singer Teairra Mari looking her finest in ages yet!
Check out her new single, “Hunt 4 U” featuring Pleasure P, below:
And I’m gonna throw a Teairra throwback your way…. check out “Lala” off her debut album on Roc-A-Fella records below:
I’m gonna admit, I’m a big fan of Teairra Mari. I’m not crazy about her new single (keep in mind, her debut album was DOPE and set a big bar for herself. I remember being amazed when I first heard it on loop @ Kanye’s Late Registration listening party back in ‘05), but maybe it’ll grow on me. Nonetheless, the girl is bangin and is getting paper so I can’t hate.
Sidebar: I was at Def Jam the other day and a good friend J.D. brought up an interesting question: Who’s hotter? Teairra Mari or Christina Milian? You decide…post in the comments. My vote’s after the cut…
Listen: “Lockdown Shelter” off Stereogum’s free mixtape, Stereogum & team9 Present… MySplice The Third. (Kanye’s “Love Lockdown” vs. The Rolling Stones’ “Gimme Some Love)
I don’t get it. I just don’t get it. “Who Dat” was one of my favorite tracks off The Recession. I used to roll through Melrose (L.A.) blasting this out the whip… and it kind of made up for the fact that I’m a puny white dude trying to stunt.
But in all seriousness, how the fu*k did Jeezy screw this video up so badly?
First… where is the plot? A female cop (probably influenced by Weezy’s “Ms. Officer” video)…then a court room filled with dancing people…then Jeezy standing in front of a completely green-screened “Da Trap” sign…then a fake janky ass helicopter…and then back to the court. WTF is this? Can someone explain how this relates AT ALL to the idea behind the track “Who Dat”?
Now that my rant is over… what’s with this hodgepodge of new-school and old-school rappers. This feels like an “Arab Money” video part 2… with cheesy green-screened-in celebs. This time I noticed Busta Rhymes (what a surprise…new album drops soon), DJ Khaled, Jadakiss, Akon, Ice Cube, Fabolous. The only reason I’m not going to sh*t on this lineup further is that it is a great representation of the Def Jam family. But still, random.
Listen, I know the economy’s rough… and it’s time to cut those video budgets in half…but still. Enough with wack ass blatant usage of the green screen in platinum rappers’ videos. Hype, we need you!
Without further ado, here’s the music video for Young Jeezy’s new single, “Who Dat”:
Remember the whole craze over Oprah Winfrey giving away a ton of free Pontiac G6’s on her talk show? Check out this hilarious remix of the video.
You may find this random, but it turns out Tesla, who recently requested a $350 million bailout from the U.S. government, is giving away a car to the man who Oprah cried on during the Obama elections. How can we justify giving millions to a company that hands out its cars like a tag sale?
