Featured off the forthcoming Buddy Leezle release Leezle4Hire, White Girl Lust serves up one of their most grimey beats ever with assisting vocals by Cerebral Vortex. Get On Up (Dirt Style) – Buddy Leezle feat. Cerebral Vortex (Produced by White Girl Lust) (Z-Share)/(YSI) Eventually WGL will be doing a mix for Still-Listen, they have been really busy which is a very good thing. According to Page Six Suge to pull the plug on Deathrow, what has come out on Dethrow in the last 5 years anway? I am hearing rumors that D12 is going to release their new album 'Natural Born Killers' in June and then Eminem will release a new record in November. The fourth quarter release schedule watch begins now. The first D12 single will be out in April and I guess it pokes fun at fans that have been upset over the recent releases by D12 and Eminem. I imagine fans heads will explode when they hear this song, what to do? Can you complain about a song that is about you complaining about a song? Speaking of release schedules- I recieved an update from Asylum and guess what album after 3 changed released dates and a changed album title is now "TBD"? - Mike Jones 'American Dream' move from 04/03/07 to 05/08/07 - Lil Wyte 'The One & Only' moves from 05/01/07 to 05/22/07 - Bryd Gang Compilation moves from 04/24/07 to 06/05/07 - Cam'ron 'Crime Pays' moves from 05/15/07 to TBD Here are a couple of great star wars mashups: ABBA The Hut is brilliant and USPS is rolling out a line of R2D2 mailboxes in honor of the 30th anniversary of Star Wars. These are very cool, TheForce.Net has some great pictures.

If you haven't listened to the Rich Boy/Mick Boogie mixtape 'The Prefix' do so. It is the first mixtape in a long time I have listened to the whole way through. Right now it is all about "Role Models" with David Banner, but still not sure about the 9 minute track "Lets Get This Paper". Listen to 'The Prefix' over at The Fader. Here is a rare video of Dirt Dog on Howard Stern back in ‘98, the day after his infamous Grammy speech. vyle. has started a blog, and if you are in Montreal tonight (March 2nd) go see him and TTC at Zoobizarre. Kocky returns with the Vol 2 of Wear the Crown mix. Once again, if you haven't listened to it yet check out Willy Joy's 'Ethnic Food' mini mix. Lil B from The Pack (who can be seen rocking a TNMT Tee) is dropping tracks on his myspace page make sure you check out "Drip 4 a Stunna". Thanks to V for pointing this out. Anyone catch the rap-centric "30 Rock" episode last night? If not watch it here.

The video below is an interview with Jim Jones from True Stores. Days after Busta reaches is offered a plea deal he is "Busta-ed" again, this time for driving with no license. Writers Block 4 sold 12,900 copies in its first 7 day cycle. Is this good or bad? For a mixtape not too bad right? Idolator has some new Redman tracks from his new 'Live From The Bricks' mixtape. I'm not even going to listen to this Fall Out Boy/Kayne West song, but you can over at HHNLive. Didn't Jay-Z "executive produce" the new Fall Out Boy? Think Fall Out Boy and Kayne are a weird combo (at least they are both from Chicago), Jermaine Dupri and +44's Travis Barker starting a clothing line. Dupri has partnered with Barker's line Famous Stars and Straps. Their clothes will first be available this Spring at over 200 stores nationwide and then will quickly move to Marshall's and TJ Maxx. Here are links to the new Stephen Marley tracks and the new k-os video: Stephen Marley feat Mos Def - "Hey Baby" (Stream) Stephen Marley feat Damian Marley and Phantom (beatboxing) - "Traffic Jam" (Stream) k-os - "Sunday Morning" (Video) The Jibbs "King Kong" remix makes me want to listen to Lil’ Wayne's verse over and over again. Listen to the track at Discobelle. "Young Money, Young Money, Young Money" Finally, make sure you check out the Willy Joy mix that I posted earlier this week. It has been making the rounds on the internet.

Friday Things (Camron/Curtis update)

I am trying to keep score in the Cam/Curtis beef, what is at now Cam 4 : 50 1? Ethan Brown is reporting this: Somebody called Cam’s probation officer and told him that Cam had put a hit out on 50 Cent. Cam was then told to come down and talk to the probation officer–or face arrest. When Cam arrived to speak with probation officer, he was told that they had seen the ‘Cuurtis’ video as well as 50’s video about Cam. Cam was also asked about Supreme: ‘How do you know Supreme?’ Cam said that he did not know Supreme but that Supreme is a stand-up guy and 50 should not have been laughing at him on Hot 97. At the end of the interview, Cam stressed that the Diplomats ain’t got no beef with G-Unit. This is just music. Interesting..I have no idea what to really think of this. Here is an interview of Cam in Harlem talking about some things? Anyone notice the line in the diss track that goes "...no sand around, but I'm in my beach chair". Really nice that Cam threw that in there, Cam sees you Jay. More Dips involved in beef. In this case we have Katt Williams going at Jay's crew, this time the against the Young Gunz. I heard a while back that Katt was going to be releasing a rap album called 'The Birth of Pimp-Hop'. Listen to the track here. In other non-Diplomats things... More trouble for Foxy Brown who was arrested in Miami after a disturbance at a beauty supply store. (Sand)Wich Boy "Throw Some Cheese on that Bitch" Video I suggest you read Bryon Crawford's article on XXL about music thus far in '07 and free mixtapes. Speaking of mixtapes- Grind Time Official Presents Skulls & Roses. Not sure who Grind Time Official is? Check out their myspace. I'll tell you this much, the real name of one member is Michael Render but he goes by the name Killer Mike. This Teddy Ted mixtape called 'Euro Crunk Vol.2' has been posted around various myspace sites, listen to it if you haven't yet. What We Do is Secret has a nice video of some lethal self defense courtesy of Bas Rutten. Finally, a comeback for Scotty Pippen? What in the name of God is he thinking? Shawn Kemp back to the Sonics? What is it, 1995?

Punxsutawney Phil did not see a shadow, which means Spring is right around the corner. I suggest you listen to the whole Angie Martinez 50 Cent, Styles P., Camron, Jim Jones interview from yesterday. Game bragging about finger banging Vida Guerra at Jamie Fox's party. Mick Boogie and Little Brother will making their new mixtape 'And Justus For All' available for free download on February 13. Read an interview by Eskay from Nah Right With Mick Boogie and Phonte What the hell has been going on this week with these Nas remixes? I wasn't really been paying attention as all this was happening, then all the sudden three days later there are three remixes with a massive amount of people on a track I can't even remember of 'Hip Hop is Dead'. Notes From a Different Kitchen has them all as well as all the guests listed. What is with the growing trend to have a remix with 5 or more people on it? Ian at Different Kitchen also has the Kayne and Common Super Bowl song called "Southside Superbowl". Harrison Ford might drop out of Indiana Jones if he can't use a real whip Horror remix of When Harry Met Sally Why isn't Camron in Freeky Zekey's top 8 or even top 16?

So, it turns out my tipster might have been on to something when a few weeks ago it was predicted that Justin Timberlake would start dating Scarlett Johansson. Perez is now reporting it, so it must be true. If Friday afternoon finds you in an e-card sending kind of mood here is the Justin Timberlake/Pink tour e-card. Send it to your little sister, or little brother. On February 27th Slim Thug and Boss Hogg Outlawz will be releasing 'Serve & Collect' via Koch Records.

I don't like to get too into politics on here, but this really shocked me. Link from the White House.
