The Game Got Big Dreams
The Game's street single to his 3rd, and FINAL album, LAX, has been leaked, and MF 3.0 has got it. Now yall know I don't like The Game, and I think he's talking out of his @$$ when he say he's retiring after this album, because he's done dropped 3 "classic" albums, and has nothing left to say, but this track Big Dreams, produced by Cool & Dre, is pretty solid. The Game knows what he can do basically, and he doin' it. Peep it here, and let us know what you think.

The Game - Big Dreams

Mariah Carey's Annual Hip-Hop Remix w/ Def Jam Relevants

Mariah Carey, now I love this woman, but her Touch My Body single, written by The Dream, I really wasn't feeling. Especially after the last time she came out her first single was We Belong Together, and those two just don't compare. Well as MC always does with at least one of her single's from her albums, she hooks up with who's poppin' in the Hip-Hop world and puts down a remix which most of the time is better than the original. Well they did it again, this time it is better and she didn't have to look to far for relevancy seein' as Def Jam is having a hell of time with their artists right now. Yeah Ricky Ross debuted at #1 last week, sucka...although I do believe Def Jam had a hand in that. Anyway, MC is stickin' to her formula in order to remain top diva, and so far it's working, but let me tell ya, MC does have Janet beat out, but Whitney Houston done got rid of Bobby so she ain't playing when she come back around, watch.

Outkast and The Chef Cookin' Up So More Heat

Yet another hot track from the ATLiens, this time with a Wu-Tang alumni. Just peep the track. Hip Hop is still alive like I said before.

Outkast ft. Raekwon - Royal Flush

Joe Budden Stages His ComebackJoe Budden, a man who use to be one of my favorite rappers, is finally set to return to mainsteam after a 5 year hiatus. Joe Budden has been working the mixtape circuits for years now, and has developed quite a strong, loyal following. However that loyal following, is just really small. Well Joe Budden has just recently release his first single of his new album, Padded Room, which is set to drop in June. When asked to explain his first single Joe says that, "The song is very Jersey, very dance, but not 2 be confused with anything gimmicky, or bubblegum. Quite the opposite, no matter what type of record I do, we will not dumb down lyrically. 'T & G' is the beginning of my gradual progression back 2 the mainstream world. It's 1 bullet from the clip, but not by any means the strongest." I don't know about yall...but if I was a artist, and I'm trying to move some units and/or become relevant again, I'm hitting yall with the hardest thing I got. Anyway, peep the track and see if Joe B is makin' the right moves or not.

Well alright yall, I'm out, hope yall could handle all that. Two more days 'til the weekend.

Go DJ! Nah, that's not MY DJ.After being late for an appearance in Richmond, VA, Friday (Jan. 25) due to his legal woes, Lil Wayne once arriving on stage made his frustrations clear by ripping into members of his entourage. Weezy, documented on video, goes on to rant and rave about how some members of his "entourage" weren't there for him, and how he don't need them 'cause he got the crowd. He then prompts the whole audience to follow him in giving his crew a big "F**k You." The video just adds to the recent madness, entertaining, but madness that is Lil Wayne and is highlighted with Wayne throwing his jacket directly at the head of his DJ. See for yourself here.

Kanye West: Glow In The Dark Tour?

I've been waitin' for an announcement for a tour for a minute now, but although no announcement still hasn't been made, there is a flyer going around that may be part of the promo for Ye's new tour. The poster bills Kanye as the headliner with Rihanna, N.E.R.D., and Lupe Fiasco has supporting acts...when and if this happens, you can definitely count me in. I don't buy cds, but I buy show tickets :)

50 Says, "You Ain't Crazy"
The man who's been relatively quiet for a man of his stature is trying to make some noise with this track U Ain't Crazy and I don't think this is the one to do it. 50 is doing what 50 on this track and I think it would have been a good joint a few years back but now it's kinda like...man I'm waitin' for you to rap about something else. See for yourself here.

50 Cent - U Ain't Crazy

Nate Dogg Suffers Stroke




















According to an official report from memebers inside of Nate Dogg's camp, the singer suffered a mild stroke last month in his home. He was treated at Panoma Valley Hospital from December 19th to the 26th. The singer was left paralyzed on the left side of his body. He is now recovering at an undisclosed rehab facility. The good news is that Nate Dogg has not suffered any brain damage, and his singing voice is unaffected. Let's all send out our prayers to a true legend in the game.


No More Money In The Bank For Banks And Mobb Deep




















Apparently, 50 Cent could be cleaning house over at G-Unit. While this is just a rumor, it isn't too far fetched considering the dismal numbers both acts have to show on their last studio efforts. I can understand the Imfamous Mobb since I really can't remember anything they have done since Shook Ones and that came out in '95. Oh and the Quiet Storm. Ok maybe that's a bit harsh, but on the other side of this, I thought that 50 and Banks were really good friends. I didn't see this coming. Sometimes it's just business.

New Music!

Rick Ross
