Video: Lupe Fiasco ft. Pharrell – I Gotcha

Watch Lupe Fiasco’s “I Gotcha” (windows media)

I would post a YouTube rip of the vid, but you already know the deal with stuff like that. As for the song, Lupe’s 3 for 3 right now, even though this isn’t as strong as his previous cuts.

Featuring: Jay-Z, Beyonce, Janet, Ciara, David Banner, Diddy, and the worst rapper alive (I’ll let you guess that one).

And…let’s just say that Aretha Franklin looks different these days.

Oh yeah, guess who crashed OutKast’s “idlewild” listening party?

4. Iceman (feat. Young Buck, Scarface & Eightball)
5. Dollar Bill (feat. Rakim)
6. Help (feat. Keri Washington)
7. Addicted (feat. Musiq Soulchild)

Whether or not people will still believe in the G-Unit regime depends on the outcome of this Rotten Apple.

I was really rooting for Banks prior to the Hunger for More. Imagine my chagrin when his mixtape murder attitude was nowhere to be found on HFM, an album that was still two songs shy of a great effort. Then, he started taking the whole Blue Heffner thing a little too seriously…

Busta Rhymes Arrested for Assault

Sez Yahoo News:

Rapper Busta Rhymes has been arrested and charged with assault, police said Sunday.
Few details about the arrest and the attack that prompted it were immediately available, although police Officer Martin Speechley said they occurred about a week apart.

Police have been wanting to interview Rhymes since the February shooting death of one of his bodyguards, Israel Ramirez. Ramirez, 29, was killed outside a Brooklyn studio where Rhymes was recording a music video.

I was hoping they would arrest him for squandering his advance on dookie chains. I bet he’ll start snitching now.

Stephon Marbury and Steve Barry Present "Starbury"

Biz Markie, Rocsi, and others were in the house to support the new clothing line by Knicks guard Stephon Marbury. $14.98 for a pair of sneaks? $9.99 for a crisp tee? How real is that?

Video: Ludacris ft. Pharrell – Money Maker

Ludameister was on a winning streak with “War with God” and “Tell it Like it Is,” but he ended it with this complacent single. Still, I’m hoping he’ll make me proud by emptying the vault on Release Therapy.
