[Video] Clipse x Kanye Live at Webster Hall
Jul 31st
Last night, the bros got with Kanye to perform their current single, “Kinda Like a Big Deal,” which I don’t hear in the Mid-Atlantic region — which is where the Clipse are from. Anyway, the song is monster enough and they did justice to it live, besides a two-bar issue with Kanye’s mic.
I just hate those bamma-ass kicks Mal got on. I don’t like Fusion Jordans because the sole is too much of AF-1. They could switch up other elements of the sneaker to make the blend work. But, ah well. Who am I to judge?
Eminem – "The Warning" (Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon Diss)

Posting this from my iPhone. You know it’s serious when I put it up while on the go.
Eminem – “The Warning” (Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon)
Yikes. This guy really goes in when it comes to the diss records. For anyone who thought that he lost a step, this record is proof that he can make you feel subhuman. I literally stopped playing the song after two minutes. I felt bad.I seriously think Mariah Carey cried when she heard this. Then, Nick was behind her back like, “Oh shit. What the fuck do I do now?”
[Video] Big Boi Meets a Penguin
Jul 30th
Big Boi and his family went to Sea World and got a VIP tour or of the marine life, which included some time with a few happy feets (penguins), and Sir Lucious Leftfoot seemed to enjoy the hell out of himself. I, personally, love how in one of the pictures he posed for, he thugged it out with a baby penguin in his hand. Here’s a shoot of Big feeding one of his new friends.
Lil Wayne – "Million Dollar Baby"

Lil Wayne – “Million Dollar Baby”
When this beat kicks in it makes me feel like he’s going to go in. And guess what? In, he goes. A good amount of quotables. Flow questionable at times but I’m with it. I’m waiting to play it in the system in the crib.
“Fuck Wendy Williams, the bitch look like a dude.
Her body look chewed, and her hair looks glued.”
Anyone know what caused these lyrics?
Diddy on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon"

Diddy made an appearance on LNJF last night to promote “Making His Band” — which is actually a good show if you like live music — but he delved into the album, among other things, with Fallon.
Diddy kept me well-entertained while watching this in a different state of mind last night. There are a lot of hilarious things to quote from this eleven-minute clip. I think back to Diddy’s last album, “Press Play,” and can’t help but acknowledge the fact that that was a solid album.
Granted, that was pretty hip-hop, but this new sound may catch on. Auto-tune is still pretty dominant in today’s market (FYI: I’m not an auto-tune-hater. It’s just played out for real rappers to be all over it). “Press Play’s” margeking was over-the-top and pretty unique at the time so I’m interested in how he’ll push this one. I have a few ideas. CTC Diddy. Cut the check!
