Ski Beatz talks about Notorious BIG

Ski talks about how BIG wanted Camp Lo's Luchini beat (can't blame him) and witnessing the friendly competition between BIG and Jay-Z.

Nothing better than official live vids...

No Malice?

Poor Malice.. looks like he's officially lost his mind. This has been a long time coming, but the artist formally known as Malice (of the Clipse) has officially changed his name to No Malica aka Yes My Lord. I don't get it. If anyone has any real information on this, please enlighten me.

Ground Up - The Get Up [Mixtape]

Our boys out of Philly are at it again with their new mixtape, The Get Up, hosted by DJ Damage. Jahlil Beats on a couple tracks. Definitely worth listening to.

Joe Budden on The Breakfast Club

Jump off stops by The Breakfast Club on Power105.1 to chop it up about the Slaughterhouse album coming out (drops May 15th), his solo album coming in June (? Mood Muzik please please please), new record with Wayne (fuck, but apparently it bumps), and more. I hate the whole Breakfast Club.. especially Charlamagne. DJ Envy is a sell out.

I honestly thought Joe Budden was better than sunglasses inside though. Can that shit get retired soon?

Obie Trice - Love Me

New shit from O. Trice. Stoked about this mixtape. Feels good to hear the Whoo Kid on something half-meaningful. Drops March 12th.

The Hundreds X G-Shock Present: Gucci Mane

Check out some footage from Gucci's Hundreds/G-Shock sponsored show at Belasco in Los Angeles. Watch out for some OFWGKTA and Soulja Boi cameos too. Hate all you want, Gucci gets me hyped. BRRR.

BEHIND THE SCENES: Game - 'The City' (Feat. Kendrick Lamar)

Some behind the scenes footage from this banger off the R.E.D. album. Looking back, I guess I understand why this album got so much love throughout the industry. The production is pretty ridiculous and the songs are just good. Needs more Dre beats (circa 2001) though.

Swizz Beatz - Enlists A$AP Rocky, DMX, Rick Ross, Nas, & The Lox For Mixtape

Looks like Swizz is looking to make some noise with his upcoming mixtape. As much as I can't stand this guy anymore, I'm sure every one of these songs are gonna be ridiculous. Check out what Swizzy had to say:

“When the Rick Ross mixtape, Rich Forever, came out that inspired me to do a mixtape because sometimes people need to get back into the element of what you do, since they see you doing so many different ventures,” he said. "My first single is with me and A$AP Rocky.

People have to know that you can take it back to the basics and keep it hip-hop and keep it fun and just do what made you the person that you are. That’s why I think this mixtape is important,” he said. “I’m vibing with Nas on it, Rick Ross, DMX, The Lox, people that everybody's like 'Man, when are you guys gonna do a track together?' and 'When is this happening? I thought the mix tape was a great way to bring that to life.”

Here's the artwork for Wiz's next mixtape, Taylor Allderdice, set to drop next Tuesday. Of course he's wearing that fuckin' hat. Should be interesting.

XXL Explains 2012 Freshman 10

The editor-in-chief and the contributors of XXL's 2012 Freshman list sit down with Hot97's Cyph and Rosenberg to explain the process, A$AP Rocky declining, and Chip The Ripper being a liar.

Below, the crew talks about the rest of the list. Future is seriously trash and Action Bronson got robbed.

DOPE: Big K.R.I.T. - '4Eva N A Day'

Now this is a project worth talking about. Big Kritter not only produced AND mixed every track on this, but there's no features either. It's refreshing to see someone who can still carry themselves throughout an entire record. Respect.

Wiz Khalifa - Day Today (New York)

Wiz runs through the Big Apple doing what he does best, smoking weed and laughing. He might rap every now and then also. Muva.
