We told you about David Holmes aka Dave the Rapping Flight attendant a few weeks ago. Here’s Dave playing Meal or No Meal on last night’s episode of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. [TRU TV]

Despite all the publicity Asher Roth enjoyed from his apparent obsession with nappy-headed hoes, his debut album Asleep in the Bread Aisle only managed a moderate 65,000 copies in its first week. That was good enough to land A-Roth at No.5, behind Depeche Mode, Rascal Flatts, and the Miley Cyrus sountrack. The Bawse, on the other hand, easily cruised to numero uno with 158,000 units.

Because everything is bigger in Texas. Peep more bluntastic pics of Devin’s recent Austin concert at Roc4Life.

As reported last week, New York DJ Funkmaster Flex declared that he was boycotting any and all artists signed to Interscope Records and would not spin any of their records/songs on his program. The higher ups at Hot 97 had something else to say about it.

“We’ve never held back on a whole label’s music,” said Ebro Darden, program director at Hot 97, in an interview with the New York Daily News. “And we won’t. We’ve got good relationships with labels…We had to muzzle Flex…People know a lot of what he says is showmanship, but that went too far.”

Showmanship is one thing, but having your boss say you needed to be muzzled is pretty rough and quite another. I hope for Flex’s sake there isn’t any additional blowback from Interscope or anyone else over this – that might be a little idealistic though.
