R&N - 04/30/08 - Hump Day EXCLUSIVES

Maaaaan, I got sum stuff for yall. Download, watch, and enjoy.

Busta Rhymes Made It

Busta IS Back, and is pulling out all of the spots. Always one to be different, Busta is late on this one and hooks up with Linkin Park for the single, "We Made It." The single is suppose to be the lead single for his upcoming album, Blessed, that is if the street single, "Don't Touch Me," doesn't grow bigger than this. MF 3.0's got the video and the track for you first. Enjoy.

Usher Teams With Beyonce AND Lil Wayne

Three of the top artists in the industry who have each crafted their niche in the game have hooked up for Usher's Make Love In The Club part 2. The song is less of a remix and more of a new song and I guess was created in order to generate more steam before Usher releases his album, finally. The track is hot, Beyonce outshines all of 'em as usual, and Lil Wayne sound like he saving a little too much for his Carter III album either way the track is hot and just shows the star power that Usher got.

R.Kelly's Hairbraider VideoWe finally get to see the chick who did this to his hair! J/k, but really. Kels next album will be called TP: 4th Quarter and is dropping in the summer. Should be a hot, like most of Kelly's album, but it always do seem when he put that Twelve Play name to it, it just elevate the status. Guess we'll have to see, 'til then enjoy the video.

Raheem & R. Kelly Serve Up The Customers

The joint was already hot when Raheem dropped it as a single now R. Kelly done put his touch to it on the Customer (remix). When you first hear the track it was already reminiscent of a R. Kelly track so it only makes sense for him to jump on the remix. Raheem is really one of the promising R&B cats that knows how to make good music. It definitely won't hurt for him to collab with R. Kels just as long as they keep it strictly musically. No hair, fashion, or girl, I mean women tips. HA.

Raheem Devaughn - Customer (remix)

Mariah Carey and Jay Z Are Both Saying Bye Bye To The GameI'm just playing. But they are both together on yet another remix to a Mariah Carey joint. Many of yall probably have not heard this joint yet, unless u done copped the album E=MC2, but either way the track has already been blessed by Jay-Z and has been hitting the airwaves. Pretty solid joint, but what do you think? P.S. Did yall hear that MC and Nick Cannon might be engaged? WTF? I didn't even know they were dating. Props to Nick Cannon, yall gotta stop hatin' on him 'cause obviously he's pulling em. From Christian Milian, to Victoria Secret model, to MC? That's a high ass batting average.

Mariah Carey - Bye Bye (remix) ft. Jay-Z

The Dream Needs Your LoveAlthough his album is banging, The Dream has been receiving TERRIBLE reviews for his segment on the Heart of the City Tour with Jay & Blige. City to city have been saying the Dream really ain't that good of singer, he can't move, etc. Despite all that, The Dream is pushing through and has just dropped his video for his third single, "I Love Your Girl" ft. label mate, Young Jeezy. This track is one of my favorites on the album, but definitely don't think it's gonna help ol boy push any more units. Maybe he's going for a European push. Either way, enjoy the video here.

The Dream - I Love Your Girl (video)

Ying Yang Twins DropThe always animated duo of Ying Yang Twins are back doing what they do best with their new club song, "Drop." The song both similar and unlike any of their classic booty songs of the past is produced by Issac Hayes III, yeah the legendary Issac Hayes son, and uses a Beastie Boys sample. Man, I swear music is just comin full circle but anyway here's the kicker. After it's release just a little over a month ago on Myspace, as the Ying Yang Twins used the net before they offcialled decided on it to be a single or not, the song has been played over 30 million times! Very close to a Myspace record. Whether the song is hot or not, somebody likes it. Is this the year of the Ying Yang Twins? Their album, "2 Live Crew," a nod to the original Two Live Crew drops later this year.

That is it, I'm out to get ready for this Glow In The Dark concert tomorrow, HOLLA!

Alicia Keys Is Caught In A Teenage Love AffairMy baby boo, Alica Keys, keeps things rolling and has just released the video for her third single, "Teenage Love Affair." The video is a homage to Spike Lee's classic movie, School Daze, which is centered around college life at a HBCU and starts Tisha-Campbell Martin. A Keys keeps her creative juices flowing in this video and MF 3.0 has the world premiered right now.

Nas releases first single of album, Ni**erNow you know I already talked about Nas and his new album, Ni**er, but after hearin' his track I think my stance may have slightly changed. Nas, as he said previously, that the album title is driven artistically and not as a ploy to create attention in order to sale records. With this track, "Be A Ni**er Too," I understand, in a way, what he trying to do with this album. Listen to it here. And whether you like it or not, this is Hip-Hop, excuse me, Music, excuse me, the right to express oneself, in its rawest form.

Nas - Be A Ni**er Too

Busta Rhymes Throws Water On Em
Busta Ryhmes, one of the hardest working, most animated, and entertaining man in the music industry is trying to create some buzz for his next album with his single, "Don't Touch Me (Throw Da Water On Em)." Busta, as we all know, has been going through a tough time for the past two years, and I am glad that he is finally getting back to making music. Recent reports have stated that Busta Rhymes has cleaned house, cutting dies with Flipmode Squad, and his right-hand man, Spliff Starr, and Busta is in a whole new mindset right now. All I know is, this track is classic Busta and that is exactly what I like. Listen.

Busta Rhymes - Don't Touch Me (Throw Da Water On 'Em)

Bobby Valentino Leaves Disturbing The PeaceBobby V, DTP's first R&B signing has departed ways with Ludacris's Disturbing The Peace imprint and has gone the independent route. According to Billboard.com, plans to release a six-track EP followed by a full-length studio album, called his time at DTP a "great stepping stone and learning experience. I look at this as my going off to college. It was time for me to step out on my own and show the world who Bobby Valentino, the artist really is." Yeah, I think it's a wrap for this child. Oh well, at least he blessed us with this track right here.

Bobby Valentino - Slow Down

Aiight, that's it for now.
This is Dilly, holla at me.

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.

Lil Wayne arrested, AGAIN!ABC News reports:

Rapper Lil Wayne has been arrested in Yuma County, Ariz., on drug charges, law enforcement sources told ABC News. The rapper, 25, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter, was traveling in his tour bus near Dateland, Ariz., Tuesday, when it was stopped at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint on Interstate 8. Around 11:30 p.m. a Border Patrol dog signaled the possible presence of drugs, and the bus was directed to a secondary inspection lane, where the bus was consensually searched. After a search by the Border Patrol canine, agents reported finding 105 grams of marijuana, 29 grams of cocaine, 41 grams of ecstasy and miscellaneous drug paraphernalia. Agents also found $22,000 in cash on the bus.

Now, I know you's a rapstar, and think you's a rockstar, but damn it Weezy, have some sense. I was just tellin' myself how I was actually getting excited about Carter III droppin' next month but now with this who knows what'll happen. We'll keep you posted.

Diddy...nah call me Sean JohnThe man who forever entertains me announced today that he is thinkin' about changing is name, again. Rap mogul, formerly known as Sean Combs, then Puff Daddy, then P. Diddy, then Diddy is thinkin' about changin' his name to Sean John, the same name as his clothing line. Diddy, I mean Sean was quoted as sayin' he evolves over time and so his name changes with the evolution...whatever, all I know is I am gonna watch his new MTB show premiering some time soon.

Busta Rhymes escapes jail timeI don't know how he did it, but he did. Busta Rhymes, faced with two counts of assault, a DUI and driving with a suspended license, managed to plead down all the charges this morning. Busta will now serve three concurrent years of probation, ten days of community service and pay a $750 fine. Back in July, the rapper rejected a plea deal that would have put him in jail for one year. Whoever this man lawyer is, is the s**t. T.I. and Lil Wayne need to holla at that man. Keep in mind 3 or 4 white celebrites have just finsihed jail sentences for DUI charges, add that with TWO counts of assault I was for sure my homey Busta was goin to Jail. Apparently not, and I'm glad, now hopefully he'll act right and get back to the music.

Cassie & Diddy together?

Ok, so apparently I'm late on this. Supposedly one of the many girls Diddy's been "swimming in" while doing his g/f/finance/baby mama Kim wrong has been Cassie. Yes, Me & You, Bad Boy artist again. Word is these two have had as you say, relations, and have been on again, off agian ever since she got signed. This will explain why she didn't get dropped after her album flopped. Ok well now peeps are sayin' Diddy is in LOVE and Cassie is the one he wanna settle down with not Kim. Man I tell ya that boy is a mess, but he still my n***a though.

Usher's bro, J Lac signs publishing deal with EMI

Usher's bro is stepping out on his own and just signed an exclusive worldwide publishing deal with EMI Music Publishing. James Lack, or JLack as he goes by has been making beats ever since his big bro got major and finally cracked the scene with Lloyd's club hit "Get It Shawty". Yeah, I ain't know he that beat either, well that joint and presumeably others were good enough for him to sign a deal and now he should be own his way. He just got work on his intro, his "This is a J Lac track, man" is not what that is. Go back n peep that Lloyd beat ya dig.

Lupe Fiasco is the coolest

Lupe Fiasco is this close to dropping his sophmore album, and let me tell ya I can't wait. Lupe is a breath of fresh air and if you ain't heard his joint Superstar yet then your a clown. Nah, not really but go peep that joint and the video Lupe making good music right now. We got the title track to his album "The Cool" and this joint is even more quality music. Turn up your volume and let us know what you think.

Lupe Fiasco - The Coolest
