The first video that circulated for this same song, although labeled "official," apparently was only a rough draft. This is the official, official version.

First, Joe Budden singles out Method Man. And then Joe turns around and apologizes. Now, all of a sudden, this is what he has to say:

I remember doing an interview with Cory Gunz about two years ago (or was it three?), and he said both a DJ Green Lantern AND Gangsta Grillz mixtape was on the way.

So this is what they call "promo" for Fabolous's Loso's Way?

Who is Johnny Kash? Originally he was down with N.E.R.D in Virginia and then came back to NYC to work for Murder Inc. as a song writer. That was three years ago.

This is the final installment of A.C's "Attack of the Blogs" announcements. 

There are many reasons why the post-Big Pun Terror Squad will never prosper. And all the frontin these TS affiliates do is one of them. And one of the other obvious reasons: Pun is dead.

This is part two (of three) to A.C's "Attack of the Blogs Part 2" PSA.

Something about this song is kind of Eminem-ish.

If anyone can answer the above question, you can receive a free copy of Before I Self Destruct. Not that you would really want it or anything.

While I was looking for the (couple of crappy) videos that I was actually able to find for Capone-N-Noreaga (yesterday's Throwback feature), I ran across this stomach-churning joint. And it wasn't "Oye Mi Canto."

F*ck what Fat Joe said about 50 Cent. At this point, anyone having to do with G-Unit is so irrelevant right now that the only one who can make them important again is Jimmy Iovine's embargo lift.

After a little bit of a fall back which stretched from late summer '08 to about early '09, it's safe to say that the kid AC is back again. And this time he's back with the next installment of Attack of the Blogs. (Revisit "Attack of the Blogs {Part 1}" HERE)

Back in April, the making of the video for D-Block's "Get That Paper" was underway. Now, the low-key joint from the Yonkers trio is finally complete. This is for their upcoming project No Security.

C-N-N. Top of New York. Pre-reggaeton nonsense.

Yes! Good choice. A little late. But a good decision on the label's part. I'm actually surprised.

This is for Fat Joe, who has to sneak into The Bronx with a camera to prove himself, and pretend that n*ggas knew he was there.

Indescribable creativity by Bed-Stuy's very own Mos Def.

Not to take away from the Dipset crew, as Juelz's "Dipset (Santana's Town)" was one of the hottest joints in NYC for the summer 2003. And you may say "WTF" while watching this video. But there's an underlying meaning in this.

This for the TRUE old school heads.

I would make a list of all the rappers who try (and fail) to be good actors-- a lot of whom are New York rappers-- but at this point, I'll refrain from doing that. 

Harlem's very own DJ Webstar has come a long way since that viral "Chicken Noodle Soup" sh*t, which went (locally) big back in '06. But that's over now. 

Damn. What a wack news morning.

Kind of surprised at Skull Gang's efforts. Thought this would be yet another street single, but it's strictly for the clubs.

Sure is good to see the Wu-Tang Clan back in business.

With two video trailers currently circulating in preparation for the release of Loso's Way, Fabolous is definitely in high gear for the first time since the release of his summer 2007 effort From Nothin to Somethin.

When I got the memo that original Bronx beat boxer Doug E. Fresh was helping to push a rap group with his sons, I just shook my head. But this video dispels any preconceived thoughts of "corniness."

It all makes sense. They shed that useless little nuisance that they all wrote rhymes for. And now Jadakiss has a successful album in stores, so it's only right that the Yonkers trio get together and drop an album.

Make that nearly a year and a half. Man, this song dropped winter of 2008. Explanation? I have none. But check the video below.

If you think I hate Prodigy, raise your hand. Aight cool. But there was a time when Mobb Deep was coming with that real. Havoc was coming hard with the production, but Prodigy mostly had the superior verses. Before they got with that corny G-Unit sh*t, Hav and Prodigy were actually real representers of Queensbridge. Damn. How times have changed.

Say word. Never would have expected Def Jam to allow this. Check out the new video for Method Man and Redman's new joint "Ayo."

The latest in hip-hop junkies: rap addict Bill O'Reilly is upset because the "lowest form of entertainment" was used to n*t all over Sarah Palin's name.

Yes, that Rick Ross entry had to be deleted, due to behind-the-scenes reasons. But in BETTER RAPPER NEWS, Maino does what most of you clowns don't and actually goes to the store and COPS Jadakiss's The Last Kiss... in stores now, in case you didn't catch that.

Yeszzziiiiir, he sure can. And two of Bed-Stuy's finest would make an interesting Fight Klub session.

Damn fam. THIS is the Damon Dash I remember. The arrogant, high-and-mighty, I-run-this-sh*t Damon Dash. Unfortunately, this bit of footage uncovers the truth about how some things really went down.

I knew that Jimi Hendrix sh*t was too good to be true. I knew it. Because at the end of the day, Fat Joe always resorts back to square one: the Dirty South.

This is the kind of unity the game's been missing in the past ten years.

Damn. It's been five years since the entire New York City underground scene first got put on to the house that Remy built.

"Yeah, it's f*cking hilarious," Ja Rule recently said of the 50 vs. Rick Ross 'beef.' "I'm sittin' back getting a good laugh and sh*t. But yo, check me on that 'Mafia Music' remix. Holla back. Ross, you know how we do, n*gga."

"...stop imagining. I'm not doing it."

Jim Jones, so much for your little PR effort.

New video from Maino. Song came out a while ago. Sure is a far cry from "Hi Hater." The only thing I would have to say about this joint is that this nuisance T-Pain strikes once again.

The first thing I thought of when I saw the trailer to this video is "Gimme Some More."

What in the stick-a-fork-in the-South-Bronx is going on?

Now that these clowns understand what the definition of a "blog" is and that they DON'T HAVE TO SPEND THEIR TIME READING THIS F*CKING COLUMN (for crying out loud) even though they seem to keep reading anyways (smh), let's begin this Monday in HORRIBLE HIP-HOP...

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

"NEW YORK CITY?????????!"

So the proof is here after all. Even though "50 Cent's" face is blurred out. Hmm.  

Jim Jones was that bully in the 5th grade who picks on people he knows will do nothing back.

Say word? The big dog at Def Jam let Jadakiss do an MTV joint? Wow. I'm impressed. Considering how lackluster Elfie has been with the hip-hop side of things, this causes for a celebration.

DAMN. Wrote the sh*t down in my planner and STILL forgot.

Shout out to my boy Mikey Fresh for reminding me via his AIM away status. lol.

Did I say a Muppet baby? I take that back.

Note that this pic was taken BEFORE she got yet another nose job.

Damn. When is this dude gonna stop?

Or a black Donatella Versace. Up next? Severely bleached skin and tatts on her eyelids that changes colors when she blinks. And a completely missing nose.

Who sat down with Faux News this time? Well, none other than Mr. Simmons.

Both Jim Jones and Cam'ron dropped new videos. Both are dropping albums soon. The bid for the most internet buzz is on!

Damn fam. Just when I thought this dude was gonna disappear... he's back. But only this time, he's not running around with his head cut off.

"I been a way for a while n*ggas like 'what for?'/ I did bad bidness with a n*gga that I thought/ was gonna do me right but he didnt now I'm off." -- Juelz Santana aka SUU WOOOO BLOODGANG! freestyle

Cam is taking your calls.

There's lots of irony and hidden humor in this video. Cam comes out and addresses one of those hidden jokes in his first answer to the girl "from" Harlem.

Sub O DVD did exactly what Ja Rule asked them NOT to do: include all the 50 Cent sh*t talking in the video.

R.I.P Big L aka Lamont Coleman, the Harlem dude that had Jigga shook on that 7 minute freestyle.

Lil Cease and Nino Brown sat down with the untouchable Mikey Fresh to discuss some things.  One of those things included Lil Kim, and Cease's desire to reconcile with the first lady of the now defunct Junior Mafia.

First and foremost, we know Fif hates Khaled because he hates Fat Joe. Being that Khaled f*cks with Rick Frauds Ross, that just puts more strikes against Khaled. BUT, I think Fif is becoming too consumed with this e-beef madness. At the end of the video, he has gun shots sounding off. After reciting a very threatening poem to Khaled's mother.

So Havoc is trying to come correct. By the way, where is that bitch made n*gga Prodigy? I haven't seen or heard of any of his blog rants lately. Must've dropped that soap one too many times.

Why is this corn ass n*gga STILL doing interviews, talking about the same ol sh*t? Still addressing the same ol artists that made comments about that stupid line he spit almost three years ago. Who gives a f*ck!?!

Everytime I want to walk away from this corny e-beef, something else pops up to make me laugh. Talk about f*ckery. And I hate stupid words like "f*ckery" and "bitchassness," but damn. F*ckery couldn't be used in a more literal context than this. Take this as a warning sign.

Ron Browz jumped "right out the window" with this horrific rock-n-roll remix for his lead single.  And before he stepped off the ledge, he took Forever the Sickest Kids with him-- whoever they are. I should Google them. But I don't care. So I wont.

On February 7, 2000, we lost one of Bronx's Finest: Big Pun. And since then, there hasn't been a single rapper from New York City's upper-most borough who could establish the same amount of success-- "physically, lyrically, hypothetically, realistically." 

Uh-oh. Liberals, you'd better hang on to your hats. The wind is blowing hard in the East-- and the air is full of nasty rumors.

So Va$htie, one of the VERY FEW-- if not only-- female video directors, put a spin on the video for (the lead single?) "Letter to B.I.G." A little does a lot.

Aint heard from Cam since that infamous "CURRRRRRRRTIS!" phone call. Or was it the boy shorts video with the kiddie "pool in the back"? Perhaps it was even more recent than both of those.

"I wanna thank the mothaf*ckas who helped them move they sh*t up out the White House. Keep it movin bitch! Cause my president is mothaf*ckin black, n*gga!"-- Young Jeezy

Yeah. Thislittle beef was over earlier this week. But then Saigon turned around and shot it two more times at Joe Budden just to make sure it was dead for sure. Now we've got the last dis. And Saigon indeed went in.

Too much boom bap. Too much truth. Too much rhyme and reason. Too much consistency. Check out the video below. 

First and foremost, happy belated birthday and R.I.P to Martin Luther King, Jr. (1/15/29-4/4/68), who paved a way for black America-- and this country as a whole-- in more ways than anyone could ever imagine. For those who have crappy jobs, I hope they at least have the decency to let you enjoy MLK day at home.

High or not, DMX never fails to entertain. And this video is no exception.

Def might as well relocate their offices to Yankee Stadium, because they've been striking out so many players, Babe Ruth's legacy pales in comparison.

What? The "New York Post"? This is so strange I'm wondering if they were paid to write a review this nice.

Yep. It's a new year. And Juelz is making new moves.

Dipset who?

As seen in previous posts, I'm using the upcoming "Notorious" motion picture as an excuse to showcase some of Biggie's work. Only this time, I'm posting more of the unpopular items not usually found around the net. At least not all in one place. Check it out below. 

Big, big shout out to the people over at Ifihavent, who collect classic hip-hop articles. An interesting site I've never seen before.

Yezzirrr! This cornball Mic Error aka Mic Terrified aka Got Punked On The Phone By Mazzi is in this video spitting some hot garbage over Boogie Down Productions's "P is Free."

Son. Is that YOU Mic? This can't be the same Mic who was Terrorized on the phone when Soul Purpose's Mazzi SONNED him. This can't be the same Mic Terror who was rocking some tight ass ashy colored jeans, a gypsy cloak, some crooked high top fade, and some other Kid N Play sh*t in one of his Myspace pics. Now this dude is wearing a hoodie and a chain while brandishing a gun? Ahahaha!

Remember when Cash Money was supposedly the sh*t back in the late '90s? Well that was about a decade (and some change) ago. What made me reminisce about Juve and the Cash Money crew? Papoose's song "All That."

There's a couple of things wrong with this song. I notice lots of fill-ins to make the words "all that" not seem forced and awkward. And I'll leave the other complaints out. But if you listened to this song acapella, you'd cringe. 

Check out the video below:

WOW! I can't believe what I'm seeing. The folks over at Def Jam actually let Nas make -- and release-- another video. At least on the internet.

This is something that just recently occurred to me: Bill O'Reilly loves hip-hop. Every time I turn around, this dude has some rapper's name in his mouth. I thought it was because he was just racist, but he never talks about anyone else besides who's doing or saying what in the rap genre.

Jay-Z and Mary J Blige - "You're Welcome"

Just when I thought music was as dry and rusty as a copper brillo pad.

"I wanna say what the deal to the South/ but don't think yall the first with them grillz in your mouth." -- AC

AC- "Rae Told Me"

---------------------> Pete Rock f/ Redman- "Till I Retire"

This video is definitely hot. And this song is much, much better than "We Roll," which had that annoying Jim Jones on it. I totally felt Krush Groove-ish with that DMC cameo, and I like the way Pete flipped the beat on Redman’s end of it.

Sorry folks. News today. Madd twisted.

So Hov got that opening in Las Vegas afterall. Peep some footage below. Can't see everything, but it almost looks better than that joint on 20-something street in Manhattan.

So Cam'ron is dormant, huh.

Shout out to the kid Mikey Fresh for the vid --Mikeyfresh.blog

This dude says he's been doing this since 1998 and is just now releasing an album...

Hov called into Power 105 to speak with DJ Clue about his upcoming LP American Gangster. When speaking to Clue, he made it clear that he wishes to be called "Jigga" once again. I guess he's really playing into this "taking it back" thing. He's taking it back to the 90s for real.

One thing about Cam, you may hate him or love him, but you damn sure can't ignore him. Here's his new video for Touch It Or Not/Wet Wipes which features Jimmie "J.J." Walker as Jay-Z and a bootleg looking Beyonce impostor that looks nothing like her. Let's just say that if Killa ever decides to quit rap, he can probably make a good buck doing comedy.

The first half of the video is a standard club scene with the Dips and a bunch of voluptuous stripper looking chicks partying while Cam spits Touch It Or Not with the fake Beyonce bouncing on his lap. If you've never heard the song, it's pretty much about what the title sounds like it's about, so I don't know how much daytime airplay Cam thinks he's going to get with this one.
