Now, my gift to YOU guys is a wonderful track from ya boi Bobby V. That's right...he's baaack! Back with the very sound that we all fell in luv with on his self-titled album, Bobby Valentino. That's right...I sure did skip over that 2nd one didn't I? Now don't get me wrong, Anonymous was fiya! But such a misrepresentation of the rest of the album. "Mmmmm not so much". Key phrase by yours truly to remember.lol

However, after hearing this joint below, be expecting great things from Bobby V. No joke. This leaked track You're Not Alone is fiya! If you got a nice ride and it ain't rainin, pop this in with the windows down on your way somewhere at least 3-4 minutes away. Let me know what cha think. I'LL HOLLLLLA!

R&N - 01/31/08 - Hip-Hop Exclusives

Go DJ! Nah, that's not MY DJ.After being late for an appearance in Richmond, VA, Friday (Jan. 25) due to his legal woes, Lil Wayne once arriving on stage made his frustrations clear by ripping into members of his entourage. Weezy, documented on video, goes on to rant and rave about how some members of his "entourage" weren't there for him, and how he don't need them 'cause he got the crowd. He then prompts the whole audience to follow him in giving his crew a big "F**k You." The video just adds to the recent madness, entertaining, but madness that is Lil Wayne and is highlighted with Wayne throwing his jacket directly at the head of his DJ. See for yourself here.

Kanye West: Glow In The Dark Tour?

I've been waitin' for an announcement for a tour for a minute now, but although no announcement still hasn't been made, there is a flyer going around that may be part of the promo for Ye's new tour. The poster bills Kanye as the headliner with Rihanna, N.E.R.D., and Lupe Fiasco has supporting acts...when and if this happens, you can definitely count me in. I don't buy cds, but I buy show tickets :)

50 Says, "You Ain't Crazy"
The man who's been relatively quiet for a man of his stature is trying to make some noise with this track U Ain't Crazy and I don't think this is the one to do it. 50 is doing what 50 on this track and I think it would have been a good joint a few years back but now it's kinda like...man I'm waitin' for you to rap about something else. See for yourself here.

50 Cent - U Ain't Crazy

More Honey from Badu

The most eccentric chic in R&B is here with her video to Honey. Remember yall peeped the track here first as Music Forecast well here go the video and let me tell ya, this is one of the most creative joints I've seen in a looonnngg time. How many album covers can you name in that video...watch it first to answer.

Clipse presents...The Re-UP Gang
Clipse is bringin out their boys Ab-Live and Sandman collectively known as The Re-Up Gang this year. Their group album is suppose to drop this year hopefully, 'til then bump this banger here.

The RE-UP Gang - 20k Money Making Brothers On The Corner

Pharrel's a N.E.R.D againMy homey Pharrell is back with his partners in crime Chad Hugo and Shay Moss for their experimental group's N.E.R.D's newest single for the third album. The track is classic N.E.R.D. Peep it here. Also, I got this video with the same single "Everyone Nose" as the background for an exclusive look at Pharrell's new jewelry line, called Blason, with Louis Vuitton. ::Shakes Head: Dude got too much money.

N.E.R.D - Everybody Nose

Rick Ross ain't the only one speedin'Rick Ross is back at trying to create some much needed buzz for his forthcoming album, Trilla. He has called in the boys and record a remix to his track "Speedin." Peep it here and tell us what you think.

Rick Ross ft. Everybody - Speedin' Remix

R&N - 01/30/08 - What To Watch For

Lenny Kravitz new album (It Is Time for a Love Revolution) in stores February 5th. Kravitz has proven through each album that he is able to evolve, but still keep that Rock & Roll funk in his songs. This is a must have album, and seems to be some of his best work.

R&N - 1/30/08 - Rock

Led Zeppelin World Tour

Could it be? One of the greatest rock bands of all time going for another world tour, it seems like a dream to many. Jimmy Page and lead singer Robert plant say after their success of their reunion concert last month they are ready for serious gigs. Considered by many to be the " Hard Rock Kings", buzz about a new tour would send millions worldwide into a frenzy. Fans will have to wait until the end of the year before they see the legend of Robert Plant and the god of guitar Jimmy Page on stage.

R&N - 1/29/08 - Let There Be Rock

Although it may be 2008, It's only fair to give this band credit for their efforts on their 2006 release Stadium Arcadium. The Red Hot Chili Peppers are still smoking from their 1987 debut album. 2006 and 2007 were huge for the Peppers, playing concerts and selling out to "Woodstock" size audiences, show just the level RHCP is at.To say the very least, these guys are ageless. Stadium Arcadium's 28 tracks show that The Chili Peppers are still Red Hot. Millions remain ecstatic about a hopeful album release in late 08. After multi platinum albums, How much more can this band do? Stadium Arcadium proves to be one of their strongest albums to date, but history shows, these guys only get stronger.

R&N - 01/28/08 - Mixtape Monday

Hey folks,

Check out the stuff we got for ya today.

Uncle Murda - Almost Murdered!


New York rapper, Uncle Murda which has done tracks with Jay-Z, Fabolous as well as others was shot in the head last week... Apparently, it was a small graze, and there was no brain damage... So, now, he's got 50 Cent type comments. Please believe he's gonna end up using this in new songs and try and get a major deal off it, lol.

Lil Wayne - Video Update


You know, I'm gonna need Cash Money to stop volunteering themselves to go to jail by having all sorts of guns and drug paraphenalia in their whips. Honestly and truly... unless you really think this is gonna promote "5 Star General" and "The Carter 3", I'm a need y'all to chill... Anywhere, here is the video of what Dilly was talking about earlier....



Collin Munroe- Flashing Lights Remix

This remix seems to be pretty good... If y'all haven't heard it, check it out.
