R&N - 11/14/07 - EXCLUSIVES!

T.I. IS BORED!

So yesterday this video had been poppin up in and around the internet of T.I. chillin in his bathrobe professing his INNOCENCE, yes innocence to the public. What's funny about the video is T.I. just look like his bored out of his mind. Big ol house, all that money, and can't do nutin w/ it except kick it w/ 3 people who he probably don't wanna be with anyway. But yo what is really is sad that this cat still tryna say he not guilty. I mean dude, yo own mans ratted u out, it was a set up B, how can u go against that. And they seen the guns in your house. In case yall haven't seen it I'ma show yall the pic right below the video. Shout outs to streetcred.com for getting the exclusive footage.

Jadakiss - Official ROC Crowning...goes awkward



Ayo, so like we said here at MF 3.0, Jadakiss was closing in on signing w/ Jay-Z to the ROC... well its now official. And they made it official recently at a concert Jay had in NYC on Sunday Night. Aiight, so here is how it went down...so Jay-Z after running through a couple of songs, stops the music, and announces that the Roc Boys are in the house and then brings out Jadakiss as the newest addition to the Roc. Jada throws up the sign, and everyone yells, similar to Dame presenting 'ye (Kanye) in the "Through The Wire" video. Ok, so DJ Green Lantern who was spinning that night throws on "All About The Benjamins" and Jada repeats the chorus a couple of times and then was like nah, nah that's Puff's joint put one of my joints on. There's a brief silence while Lantern cues a new Jada song and then throws on "The Champ Is Here." Instead of wrecking the verse and showing y he got signed, Jada wussies out and goes "ah, man I don't know those lyrics, you put me on the spot." The song continues to run while Jada lookin' back at Lantern like put sumtin' else on, put sumtin' else on. Jay-Z ain't pleased. The situation goin' from bad to worse, Jadakiss reluctantly blurts out, "Man, put on Roc Boys, let's do Roc Boys," and the show goes back to Jay-Z.

ARE YOU SERIOUS!? B, you just got signed and you don't know your on lyrics to your song! That's not what that is. At this rate New York will NEVER be back. Anyway, here go the video, enjoy!


Paul Wall & Chamillionaire BRIEFLY Reunite



For all yall southern cats out there who remember when Paul Wall & Chamillioanire were a duo with Swisha House and then w/ their own Color Changing Click, well my brother, who lives down in Houston, just now told me that last wednesday @ Texas Southern University, Koopa & Paul Wall who were both scheduled to perform separately with a slew of other performers shocked the crowd and came out together and performed "In Luv Wit My Money." If you're like me, this is BIG news, as I've been waitin' for the longest to get these cats back together. Hopefully now that they have both tasted success and had sophomore efforts flop maybe they'll collab and released a follow-up. Fingers crossed.

Anyway, that's is all for now, keep posted 'cuz my man AB got a annoucement to make soon...

Donda West Update Part 2 - Passed Due To Complications of Surgery



"The mother of Kanye West may have died of complications related to a surgical procedure, a coroner's official said Monday.

Preliminary information from officials at Centinela Freeman Regional Medical Center, where Donda West died Saturday, indicated she died from "complications of surgery," Lt. Fred Corral told The Associated Press. An autopsy was to be conducted by Wednesday, Corral said.

Patricia Green, a consultant who has worked as a publicist for West in the past, had previously told news agencies that West died after cosmetic surgery. She backed away from those comments in later interviews with the AP, saying she was not sure of the cause because she had received conflicting information." - Source

R&N - 11/09/07 - Hip Hop Happenings & EXCLUSIVES

What's Cooking In The Pot?

A lot of artists are heavy in the studio workin' on their next release and some are having positive time w/ that, some are finding it harder then others... Here's a quick rundown of what's happening:

Wu Tang - Family Reunion?!

Wu Tang Clan's new reunion album ain't quite goin' the way they expected. In a recent interview, Raekwon said that he and the other members of Wu are very unhappy with Rza's heavy guitar-laden beats on the group's upcoming comeback disc, 8 Diagrams. So much so that they will come out with a follow-up album if changes aren't made to this one, or of it's not permanently shelved. Apparently Rza has become a "Hip Hop Hippie" according to Rae, and the sound he's trying to make 'em do, ain't poppin. And he also complained yet again about money mismanagement. I swear them cats don't get along.

Lil' Jon - Crunk Rock in 08?!

Remember Lil Jon's "Crunk Rock" album that was suppose to drop before "Snap Yo Fingers" even got poppin', yeah that was a while ago huh, well according to Jon, the project is still coming along and slated to be released sometime in 2008. He told MTV News that he's finished with the "rock" half of the album and just has to finish the rap elements of it."It's probably really like 65 percent, maybe 70 percent done," Jon explained. "I'm still tweaking and coming up with other ideas and other collaborations I want to get done. If Jon don't hurry up, his album gonna slip into that Hip Hop folklore category as Dr Dre's Detox, which by the way is suppose to come out Summer '08...yeah right.

Chingy - New Album?!

workin' on his new s**t...don't really care right?

Pitbull - New Album

Pitbull finna drop a new album and got this joint buzzin' w/ Lloyd called Secret Admirer. I'm feelin' this joint, not just cuz I like Pitbull n his creativity but 'cuz it samples that Ghostdown Dj's joint - My Boo from back in the day. Yall know what I'm talkin 'bout w/ them So So Def Bass All-Star days. Skating Rink, wuuuuttt!

Audio:
Pitbull ft. Lloyd - Secret Admirer

G Unit is back!

I don't know 'bout yall, but I kinda like G-Unit, and I like 50, even if he is a snitch, a whiner, a sore loser, and over-saturated. I think it's 'cause I still can't get over Get Rich or Die Tryin', still one of the illest albums ever, yeah I said it, and the fact that he ran the game for a whole year, and that was before Jay-Z retired. Anyway, him and his potnas are back w/ a new album "Shoot to Kill" slated to drop on December 18th. There first single is w/ Lil Kim titled "Wanna Lick." Young Buck put this together and squashed the beef between Kim and 50, ha, so this track is basically Magic Stick pt. 2. But the track I like is the track called Feel Good. The beat go hard, head nodder, and 50 verse is mad entertaining, but once again he went w/ the cheap video effect n shot it himself.

G-Unit - Feel Good

Alright, that's it for now, enjoy this and enjoy the weekend. ~Dilly

R&N - 11/08/07 - CASSIDY'S BARS

Hey folks,

Cassidy - My Review


I don't see too many reviews or hype about Cassidy's album... Don't know why... The dude is back... After some jail time (explained on Innocent) and near fatal car accident (explained on Drink N 2 Step), I'd take a break from rap too... But now, he's back, more focused than ever. His 1st album (Split Personality) put out some hot singles and a buzz... Unfortunately, that's about it.

The 2nd album (I'm A Hustla) was HOT, all the way 'round, but he wasn't able to promote it, due to jail time. It struggled to go gold... I can go back to that album, and still bang it.

This 3rd album... He's still Cassidy, but after 4, 5 tracks, you start getting confused on what he's talking about... "Wait, is he mentioning God?" "Did he talk about Jesus?"... Yea... On a rap album?! This is how you know he's changed up some... Check out these tracks to see what I'm talkin' about...

Leaning On The Lord ft. Angie Stone

Done For Me

Now if you believe that people can change for the better, have some sort of spiritual side, and like good hip-hop music, this album is a must have. I don't know what kind of flack I'm gonna get for posting this. But I'm just being real. I know he's talking about a lot of violence, guns and using mild language, but change isn't overnight. Takes time... From this album, he seems to be telling stories he feels need to be put out and let the world here. Forget being "gangsta", he's being true to himself, and realizes that people need to understand it without being too preachy.

Also, give dude the respect he deserves, lol. Peep this vid real quick.





TI (c'mon... TI vs. TIP), Yung Joc (The Motorcycle) & Soulja Boy (Bathing Apes aka BAPES) need to give this dude props. Think about that, lol.

Anyway, long story short... this album is a classic in the sense that he's making the biggest attempt I've seen to talk about religion without doing Christian rap. If you buy his album, you can show the industry that you can talk about stuff like that and STILL be successful. That's what's good in my book.

I hope you do great this week, Cass.

R&N - 11/07/07 - ALBUMS To COP!

Hey folks,

I hope you're going to the CD stores this week! 3 HOT NEW albums came out yesterday!
I ended up buying 2 albums, because I don't like spending more than $20 on albums all at one time (unless I was just ballin' like that).

So I picked up Jay & Cass... Jay-Z really don't need much promo. Hot singles: Blue Magic (almost played out now), Roc Boys (RIDICULOUS!), Hello Brooklyn 2.0 (NYCE!) and even Pray (even the first song is a banger!) I know I already posted them, but this is just a REMINDER... I posted them WAY BACK...

Chris Brown... I don't have too much to say too much on him. He's a done deal... Half of America's teenage girls are jumping all up on this album... He doesn't dissapoint.

I'd talk about Cassidy, but I'll save that for tomorrow's post. Cassidy's album is special on a totally different level. Don't sleep on dude. Anyway, here is my recap and most of my favorite tracks on their albums.

Down ft. Kanye West
Kiss Kiss
Wall To Wall Remix ft. Jadakiss (Not on Album)

I hope this stimulates the music industry for real. Get up and go cop your albums, folks.
