Our favorite rapper gives us a random glimpse into his home life. To all the haters this is how broke ass Joe Budden is living -crazy house, fine ass girl, good kid.

Ludacris kicks it with Martha Stewart (???) for some kitchen talk. The highlight is when Marth Stewart says, “I love rap music” but I guess since she did get locked up for a bit she has more street cred than Rick Ross.

For some unexplainable reason, Sha Money XL is running his mouth about the return of 50 Cent, Dr.Dre and Eminem saying “real hip hop is back…yada yada yada”. Didn’t homie have a fallout with Fifty a year back?

Anyway, he says that Eminem’s return album is going to be called Empack. I’m glad Em is coming back but that title sounds ga-nay as hell. It sounds like the name of an energy drink or viagra pill.

The yahoos at MTV have given the green light for Diddy to begin production of a new reality show called StarMaker. Diddy will team up with Mark Burnett whose best known for creating all the shows my mom likes such as Survivor, The Apprentice and Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?). Read more »

Here’s a horrible freestyle battle where someone gets knocked the hell out. You’ll have to wait until the end for the KO. It’s harsh.

Chris Rock hit up Bill Maher’s show to talk about the election and why people will end up voting for Barack Obama.

What kind of gayassness is this?

Peedi Crack needs to fall back. Remember that Jay-Z freestyle he did on Hot 97 toward Nas like seven years ago when he said,

While yall was runnin yall mouth complainin bout summer jam, i was in flip flops in the south of france. See how it flip flops with the number 1 station for hip hop and r & b , you thought summer jam was starrin you , it was starrin me. Even in my absence my presence is felt. I gotta tell you, im the king dawg if nuffin else. Im on another continent you still ain`t content. Im in the Mediterranean, you stil aint bent. Explain to me why I wanna be you again, you on the radio cryin, im learning to swim.

I think that could pretty much apply in this case.

Mysonne, whose Jae Millz homie, battles E.Ness, whose most famous for getting cheese cake for Diddy. This is a seriously long battle, I think Ness takes it though. Mysonne looks winded by the third round.

What’s with New York battles turning into death threats? What ever happened to clowning your opponent and making the crowd laugh at them.

Even though Joel is no longer on Aftermath, he is still going hard with his new video Can’t You Tell. You’ll also get to see a little of the track Ghetto he did with Nas of that Negro Mixtape.

I’m still trying to find a Joel Ortiz shirt in Brooklyn!! Somebody hook me up.

Peep the trailer for Big Willie’s new flick called “Seven Pounds”. It also stars Rosario Dawson and Woody Harrelson. If you’re wondering what this movie is about this trailer doesn’t really give away anything either that or I’m too dumb to get it. I’m thinking this is an “Oscar type” movie.

Ludacris goes hard on this new joint Undisputed.

Three 6 Mafia’s new song “Lolli Lolli” is starting to burn up the charts. Get the Lolli Lolli ringtone right over here.

Since Joey delayed Padded Room he’s putting out this mixtape Halfway House. I don’t about you but Joe’s looking like he’s back on that dust in this picture.

The first debate between Obama and McCain on foreign policy.

Saturday Nite Live taps Tina Fey’s uncanny impression of Sarah Palin for great political satire.

L.A. L.A. big city of dreams
but everything in L.A. aint always what it seems
you might get fooled if you come from outta town
cuz we comin from Queens and gets down

Nore shows what’s good in LA.

I can’t even hate on these guys since I religiously watch Run’s House. But for the record these guys are silver spoon rappers.

The Game gives his two-cents on 50 Cent and his plethora of rap feuds.

Haha @ coke fest

Where have we seen this movie before? LL Cool J’s last album, Exit 13, hit stores last week and has only since sold 44,000 copies. Yes you read that right. Now Todd is a little mad at his sales considering he thinks he is the God of hip hop and all. Here’s what he said on his myspace blog,

What did Todd expect? Platinum first week? I know he posted that he thought he should do 300k in the first seven days. But what work did he do to sell 300k? Did he feature on everybody’s song? Did he put out 10 hot mixtapes? Did he put out more than one single? The first single with Dream is hot, but one hot song and self proclaiming your greatness is not going to sell albums in the year 2008. I think rappers went really delusional after Lil Wayne did his first week numbers, because they all thought “Hey I can magically do a million too”.

In comparison to the other rappers that dropped albums this week, Todd didn’t do too bad either. Young Jeezy’s The Recession, which may just be Jeezy’s worst album to date, sold about 89,000 this week, and Kardinal Offishall who had a “hot single” sold only 11,000. Though Lil Wayne and Game both did another 50k this week putting them at 2.4 million and 377,000 units respectively.

Another problem for LL is that he doesn’t have a young fanbase. No teenage girls are checking for him. His core fanbase is 35 year old single mothers who are probably going to buy his album when they get their welfare check and unfortunately that’s not this week.

I know most of you probably wont get what I’m talking about, because I had no clue until now, what people (read: cranky old white guys) mean when they say that “hip hop makes you anti-social”. What do they mean by anti-social? Now considering I always thought anti-social always meant the opposite of being social, I thought their claim was nonsense because hip hop encourages partying, dancing, gang banging and other group activities such as waving your hands in the air like you just don’t care. Now the dictionary definition of anti-social is a little more precise. Here’s what the free dictionary says, Read more »

MC Search interviews T.I.

Ps. Where’s Young Dro?

Pss. Paper Trail bootlegs I got it for cheap.

Ne-Yo hooks up with Jamie Foxx and Fabolous for this new song “She Got Her Own”.

T.I. creates arguably the biggest collabo in history pairing up with Kanye West, Jay-Z, and Lil Wayne on his new song Swagga Like Us. Get T.I.’s Swagga Like Us Ringtone right over here.

Responding to 50 Cent’s mock performance of Kanye’s Love Lockdown and Yayo’s rambling, Yeezy took some veiled jabs of his own at Curtis. Kanye via his blog said,

“I just woke up from a quick studio nap..I’ve been workin’ on 808s and Heartbreak about 16 hrs a day and Superman passed out for a little bit … I’m in Hawaii but I’m still on NY time so I wake up mad early, do some business, blog, jog for an hour, play ball, eat and then hit the stu by noon. While approving the final cut for the ‘Love Lockdown’ vid, I marvel at the fact that it was written less than 3 weeks ago. I’m very excited about the everything … I guarantee this will be 50’s favorite album of mine. This will be gangster’s album of the year.

Ohhhhh burn. Someone’s getting their marketing on early!

Review: 3.5 out of 5

Best Songs: Set It Off, Go Home With You, Gimme Some

Kardinal Offishall goes in all or nothing on his forth album “Not 4 Sale”. Now backed my heavyweight Akon and Kon Live/Geffen Records, Kardi is able to put together the best album of his career. If you’ve followed Kardi since the beginning, you’ll know he’s never been the guy with the coolest flow or the best lyrics, but you’ll also know he isn’t wack either. What Kardi has is superior showmanship that would rival Jay-Z or Busta, relentlessness raw passion and the ability to be comfortable in his own skin. In short, Kardi is a game changer because while other rappers are tracing Jay-Z’s flow, one day they maybe jockin’ Mr.Celebrity Face. Let’s get into the breakdown. Read more »

This is becoming ridiculous.

Faizon Love best known for his performance as Big Worm in Friday responds to Funk Master Flex’s comments about R.Kelly. Apparently, he’s mad that Flex called Kelly out.

It’s funny seeing two old fat black bald guys who could pass of as twins go at it.

I was so close to doing a special comment on the R.Kelly interview on BET with Toure the other night, but decided the guy has been through enough. But now that Flex has said his piece in this video, I couldn’t have said it better myself. Robert Kelly needs to be castrated and locked up for life.

Dip Set. Dip Set. Dip Set. Owwww.

I’m playen. The homie Juelz and his new crew Skull Gang premier some new material for the lovely Angie Martinez.
