Alchemist – That’ll Work (F/ Juvenile and Three 6 Mafia)

Alchemist – That’ll Work (F/ Juvenile and Three 6 Mafia)
Hre’s a new jawn from Alchemist, alongside what’s left of Three 6 Mafia and … HOLY SHIT! when did Juvenile come out of his crypt? Chemical Warfare is still slated to drop on 7/7/09. Slim is on the title track, so that should help get Alc some well-deserved attention.

Pastor Troy at the Strip Club [Video]

Behold Pastor Troy performing some of his hits at a strip club, because the best way to test the durability of one’s music is by showcasing it in front of a bunch of coked up romp shakers. Just another day at work for the hip-hop minister.

Slaughterhouse Announces New Deal with E1 Music

Behold your favorite hip-hop supergroup announcing a new deal with E1, which I gather is the new and improved Koch Records (thanks for exposing my ignorance in the comment section). Honestly, I don’t care if they drop the album on Dr. Seuss Records, just make sure it exceeds the hype. Anything short of a masterpiece would be considered an epic failure.

Screencaps from the Real “Paranoid” Video

real-paranoid

As he does whenever his music or video is met with widespread skepticism, Kanye’s pointing fingers at some foul play. Mr. West claims that someone leaked the wrong version of his “Paranoid” music video. He’s probably right this time, because that video was nothing but a snoozefest. I mean, it was four minutes of Rihanna staring at the camera and touching herself, while fully dressed. There’s no way Yeezy was going to let anyone else get more face time in his own music video.

Proceed for Ye’s ALL-CAPS RANT and some screengrabs from the real “Paranoid” video:

I Guess I’m Coked Up Now

red_bull_cola

I’ve been drinking Red Bull Cola lately, because I’m broker than Sean Price and can’t afford the real deal. Well, the Germans are now saying that they’ve found traces of cocaine in Red Bull Cola. I’m sorry, what? Does this mean I’m coked up? Let’s investigate.

Sez the old reliables at BBC:

The authorities in six German states have ordered retailers to stop selling Red Bull Cola energy drinks after traces of cocaine were found in it.

Red Bull says b-b-ut it’s only a small trace:

“Decocainized coca leaf extracts are used as flavoring in food products around the world and are considered to be safe,” Red Bull said in a statement Tuesday. It cited a Food and Drug Administration code that lists de-cocainized coca leaf as a safe, natural extractive.”

Eh, isn’t that like saying it’s coffee but de-caffeinated coffee? Germany isn’t buying it. They’ve already started clearing their shelves and a ban is in order.

Meanwhile, the Bolivians are laughing their asses off:

Bolivians have tried to get the world to understand that the leaf is not a drug if it’s not put through the extensive chemical process that yields cocaine.

Bottom line: The amount of cocaina in Red Bull Cola is harmless. You can’t fail a drug test by drinking these things. Well, unless you drink thousands of them, in which case you’ll probably fail at everything. Now if only they can figure out why it tastes like dog shit.

Kanye’s “Paranoid” Video

Okay, the title’s a bit misleading because this video’s all Rihanna. The plot centers around Rihanna touching herself for 4 minutes. Not that anyone’s complaining. Oh, and if Rih Rih looks like she needs acting lessons in this clip it’s because she does.

From the old reliables at NY Daily News:

“Rihanna will start filming Personal Protection later this year,” an insider told nydailynews.com. “She’s not ready, actingwise, yet, so she’s meeting with a coach.”

See what they did there?
