Good to see that there are still people who’d rather take the time to create a compelling artwork than pose shirtless on their covers.

None Shall Pass is due out August 28th, with production from El-P, Blockhead, and Rob Sonic.

In case you’re counting, this is the 3rd video from Curtis. Album is still well over a month ahead.

Everything you’d expect from a 50 Cent music clip, except “Amusement Park” is an incredibly catchy tune. 50 swears he’ll unleash three more clips before the album drops on June 26.

There are so many things wrong with Hip-Hop Lives, which arrives next Tuesday (May 22), but it’s still one of the most dynamic albums you’ll hear all year. And it’s much better than his last two albums combined.

While I still have your attention, do yourself a favor and check out some behind-the-scenes videos on Koch website, where Kris and Marley offer insight on tracks like “Rising to the Top,” “All School,” and “Kill a Rapper.”

Who else you know with three hot videos, zero audience,and still inked to a major? Seriously though, there’s no way Pharoahe has been eating off cereal and ghostwriting checks from Diddy for the past six years. I’m gonna double-check with my peeps in Queens to see if he’s been “Pushin’” coke all along.

This has been another SmashTube presentation.

Is it just me or does The Game look like Cho Seung-Hui in that mugshot?
