I hate to say it, but dude is washed up.
Whatever happened to his letter to "the real Noriega"? Reports first circulated that N.O.R.E was planning to heat the summer with Global Warming 11368, now he's put that to the back burner.
So Capo SAYS once he and Tru Life crossed paths, he pulled son to the side, and Tru "copped a plea" as he pulled up his shirt to show he didn't have any "heat" on him. Negro please. I don't believe that. N*gga, YOU don't even believe that sh*t yourself.
All Access DVD has the exclusive, both sides:
Freeway Featuring Jay-Z "Big Spender"... crack juice.
This song first hit the e-waves how long ago? Two weeks, maybe a little more. And already it's been smacking fire through the tri-state radio airwaves. I was holding off on posting it because a) this is technically a Philly record. And b) I wasn't sure that this record was going to get the recognition it deserved being that these sorry Southern ringtone rappers seem to have the fruits of payola wrapped around their fingers. But I was wrong. This record is splitting the turntables in half over at Hot 97. Don't matter that this is a Philly joint... what matters is that it's the East Coast pushing out a banger. Big ups.
Freekey Zekey featuring Weezy Goldberg and Jha Jha "Beat without Base"
"I am God's son but you know I aint Nas/ See he got a positive aim and I aim nines/...you old ass rappers better stay on tour/ You like 44, I got a 44, I'm 24 I can murk you and come home when I'm 44!" --Lil Wayne aka Weezy Goldberg
If she dropped down any harder, her nose might have fallen off her face.
This is nah right. Definitely not.

This is definitely a good look for New York City. The fact that Fab's first single, "Diamonds on my Damn Chain," flopped harder than the Smurf's full length release tells us something: Get off that Down South sh*t and be original. All hope looked lost for Fabo... then came "Make Me Better." I wasn't feeling it at first. But then due to exposure, it grew on me.
The hip-hop scene aint what it used to be, so 159,000 the first week isn't half bad. Especially since a number one single, massive radio/video airplay, and top iTunes/ringtone sales don't even guarantee you more than 90,000 units in the first week. Shout out to Brooklyn. And by the way, Fab's "Brooklyn" is heating up the city.
Check out this clip of Talib politicing with Peter Rosenburg... interesting questions. Interesting answers.
"That's [Mos Def] the big homie you know what I'm saying. That's one of my best friends in the world. And we make music together constantly. We havent made another album in a minute. If we still inclined, we'll put another album out. But that's definitely one of my best friends."
"I wish Rick and Russell was back I miss the old Def Jam/ 'Cause them new monkeys act like they don't know who I am/ The promotion and marketing wasn't worth a damn/ Now they on the balls again 'cause 50 my man?"
From off of "It's a Queens Thing"--LL Fool J featuring 50, Kool G Rap, Yayo, Prodigy
I know, I know. More on Uncle "I swear up and down I didn't get my a*s whupped by Pap's entourage" Murda. Come on duke. Anyone who over explains something is guilty. Why are you sweating profusely over a rumor that "never happened like that"?

I notice a lot of disrespect on homie; whether you never heard his music or didn't like him is not even relevant. Be respectful and decent for crying out loud the man unjustly lost his life. Would you like someone sh*tting on your fam after they died? Be easy.

I knew Stack Bundles' buzz had finally began to accelerate when I heard him spit a verse on "New York" alongside Cory Gunz, Maino, and Jae Millz on DJ Green Lantern's Alive On Arrival. But after watching this video (excluding duke on the first verse), my already positive impression of him has since been upgraded. It's too bad that Bundles never got a chance to branch too far outside of NYC. R.I.P.

Did P sh*tty just sh*t on the choreographer (Laurie Ann Gibson) towards the end of the trailer? I guess that would better illustrate all the drama with Gibson filing a complaint with the NYPD after this particular point in the trailer, I'm assuming. But in the SOHH exclusive vid, she seemed thrilled with the then upcoming television series.
Things change. And for the record, I thought this all-male group thing was gonna be straight h*mo, but not for nothin, it seems a little bit interesting.
First and foremost, rest in peace to the only rapper to ever hold down Far Rockaway.
For those who might not be familiar, Stack Bundles, who was originally down with DJ Clue before moving over to Jim Jones and his Byrdgang crew, was a popular Queens mixtape rapper. Born Rayquon Elliot, Bundles was shot early Monday morning in the lobby of his Far Rockaway apartment building after returning from a club.
This is why n*ggas like me don't go to church. Lmao at the people in the crowd with their eyes shining n sh*t...believing in his blasphemous sermon like they're a bunch of blinded idiots.
So Uncle Murda aka "I Shot the Sheriff" aka "blow that n*gga up with my fo-fo" aka "I told yall I'm a gangsta, I just know how to rap" got beat down? Nah... can't be.
Via publicist email:
"Uncle Murda?? Nah Uncle Bitch!!!!!!! Party goers watched in shock as TOUGH TALKING Uncle Murda came out of T-Pain's release party and ran into a rival rapper and tried to run but not before he was snuffed twice in the face then hauled ass while video cameras rolled on the red carpet. The incident took place at exactly 10pm on 13th street and 10th Avenue [Manhattan]. The word on the streets is Papoose's homie clocked him for running his mouth to a friend of Papoose two nights ago after he and Papoose's situation had just cooled down. Uncle murder has been taking shots at Papoose for a minute now and Papoose ignored him, now when he see's Papoose he runs?? He didn't even try to fight back and the video cameras don't lie!!"
There will be a Gemini carribean-style, touch of red party going down this Friday at Blarney Stone, 2nd floor, at 410 8th Ave btw 30th and 31st streets, Manhattan. All geminis are $5 all night! 21+ only, ID a must.
Dresscode: Trendy/ "Manhattan Chic." They reserve the right to be selective. For more info, click here.

Talib Kweli sat down with DJ Green Lantern at his Sirus Satellite radio show. Kweli hit a few good points; one being that some artists seen on TV with the (rented) rims and jewelry are actually doing worse career-wise than the Brooklyn lyricist himself. He says this quite matter-of-factly.
Apparently, El Barrio aka East Harlem aka Spanish Harlem-- everywhere from 1st ave to 5th-- isn’t feeling your boy too tough. There was too much rambling and music going on and what have you, so I didn’t watch the whole thing. But as for homie in the yellow (2nd clip): “N*ggas been Blood since ’93. You been blood since 2000. I neva heard of you.â€
---->“You wasn’t banging before ’93/ then listen here homie you not a G.â€â€"Tru Life “The NEW New York,†NEW New York mixtape.
Wu-Tang Clan's RZA is "under investigation" for an alleged link to the Gambino crime family. Yeah. That crime family.
This clip proves why Fox News has yet to be taken seriously, and why the Don Imus ordeal is becoming a popular scapegoat in the Republican/racist community. For crying out loud whoever wrote the teleprompter needs to be fired. In addition to that, Sean Hannity will never live this one down.

1991's New Jack City was the classic 'hood movie that immediately left its mark. Even now, the "'hood" genre still lives on through the more recent "ghetto" flicks such as Paid in Full and other (some poorly done) movies that-- although lacking the material needed in being counted as relevant-- are obviously descendants of the movie that-- indirectly-- paved the way.
Where exactly did this phrase, "New Jack City" come from? It evolved from a 1987 Villagevoice cover story written by a guy named Barry Michael Cooper, entitled "Kids Killing Kids: New Jack City Eats its Young." Two weeks later, Cooper was sent to meet Quincy Jones to rewrite a screenplay-- which ended up becoming the foundation for New Jack City, the movie that sparked the then immature careers of Ice-T, Chris Rock, and Wesley Snipes.
First and foremost, RECKLESS HAS NOT POSTED A COMMENT IN MONTHS. So who you thought you were talking to the other day, I don't know.
Thanks.
Second of all, what's with the slow response to Jim Jones' "Emotionless"? This track is decent, yet the buzz is nonexistent. I guess it's hard to beat "We Fly High," especially after people are saying that this hit was the height of his career. Not a good look. Let me help him out a little. Since it's been ignored, be a good sport and check out the vid.
