If people are still thinking like that, it’s so ignorant that I can’t even entertain it for a minute.

Nas & Damian Marley preview session for ‘Distant Relatives’ in Harlem last night. Missed all the West Indian food, but made it in time to grab some Bacardi and Coke and listen to them answer a few questions.

“Alabama rapper Yelawolf has developed some serious buzz in the underground hip-hop scene in recent months. On Monday (March 29), Hot 97 radio personality, Miss Info, reported that the rising MC had inked a deal with Interscope Records after a heated bidding war between labels.” - TheBoomBox
Kid Cudi - Soundtrack to My Life.
Wish he’d included some footage of him clocking that kid in the face during his Vancouver concert.
My eyeballs have been forced to skim over so many “Telephone” related posts that I barely want to watch this video now that its finally premiered, but this is dope.
