This turned out great for a $20-budget video. And I refuse to post Shesus Krhyst on this blog. Sue me.

Special Teamz (Edo G, Jaysaun, and Slaine) team up with hip-hop’s courtyard jester Devin the Dude on “Long Time Coming,” the lead cut from Special Teamz’ upcoming Duck Down debut Stereotypez.

The 9/11 lineup is getting ridiculously crowded. Awesome news for all the Pacavellians out there:

On September 11, 2007 distributed by Koch, West Coast rap label, High Powered Entertainment will make hip hop history with its release; Thug In Thug Out. The highly anticipated project is the first official collaboration by original Outlawz members Young Noble and Hussein Fatal since the much publicized fallout that followed the death of their mentor Tupac Shakur.

The millions who adore Tupac Shakur, loyal Outlawz fans and music lovers from around the globe will consider this reunion LP well worth the wait.

Good for Outlawz and all but I’m still copping Kenny Chesney’s album.

When I first heard about this collaboration I was ready to say that Madonna is only a few decades late to the Skateboard P bandwagon. Thankfully, they’ve managed to produce a minimalist banger (sans the commentary: “let’s do something different,” “let’s give em something to think about”).

Re-up: The Beat Goes On (Will expire in a few hours, so get it while it’s sizzling.)

T.I. orchestrated a party at the Madison Square Garden Screamfest stop, according to MTV. Hov, Fif, Kanyeezy, T.I., and Diddy were all onstage at the same time. You can tell from the tone of the article that it must’ve been an exciting moment for everyone present:

But there were no incidents and no signs of rivalries — as Kanye rapped, 50 ran around the stage like he was doing a victory lap, stopping along the way to bump shoulders and say what’s up to Tip, ‘Ye and Jay. Then, out of nowhere, Diddy ran up and got onstage with them.

Although the audience was rocking to West, the spectacle of seeing everybody together onstage — especially the two guys who have been hyping their September 11 in-store showdown—on one stage at the same time took precedence They were all smiling and dancing and genuinely enjoying the camaraderie.

Maybe they were celebrating the fact that they all made Forbes Hip-Hop Cash Kings list.

Soulja Boy is bringing white tees back

Meet Soulja Boy, the latest product from Interscope’s Build-a-Ringtone-Rapper workshop. Take a good look at that album cover because you won’t remember this guy in six months. (Just ask Mims.)

Give Soulja Boy credit, though, for being the first second rapper to title his album with a url. Souljaboytellem.com hits stores on October 2nd. (Shout out to Eskay and Ian for exposing my lack of knowledge in the comment section.)

I can’t place my hand on that interview right now but I remember Boo Boo saying that Ja Rule is stupid for scheduling his album around the release of Curtis. Well, it looks like Ja’s camp is taking that threat seriously. His new album, The Mirror, has been moved from September 25th to November 13th. Poor Jeffrey, he only has Trisha Yearwood to worry about on 11/13.
