Joe Budden & Co. Discuss Thirsty Females

This is some real shit they talkin, I 100% agree that a lot of women won't show love to a "regular" guy, even if he's about business.  Thank God I was raised to know that I define me, not the social status of the dick I pull.



I gotta say though, men do the same shit with women but instead of money it's looks.  Yes, you should be attracted to the girl, but if you only fuck with video models and wanna-be "singers", lol, then you have no room to judge, sorry fellas.

New Video: Keri Hilson feat. Chris Brown "One Night Stand"

Sexy song & video, though I'm not sure why they chose to go with an auto shop theme, but hey, it takes nothing away from this visual.



Am I the only one who was thinking Ciara would have MURDERED the dance scenes w/ Chris?  Keri did her thing, but still...

New Music: Ryan Leslie "Joan Of Arc"

Anyone who’s followed Ryan Leslie over the last few years knows that this Harvard alum has more overall talent than a lot of his R&B contemporaries. His new song, Joan of Arc, shows Leslie’s ability to write, produce, sing and rap over a track without completely ruining it, a rarity for one individual to pull off. This isn’t the first time he’s spit a few bars, but I think when he attempts to rap through the majority of a song, as he does here, it doesn’t connect with the listener as well as it could. His smooth and minimalist vocals on the hook ride perfectly over his mildly haunting instrumentation of minor guitar chords and light synthesizers. It actually sounds like something ‘Ye left off MBDTF, and I’m not just talking about the beat. This tale of a misunderstood relationship, complete with a NYPD voicemail left for Leslie, would have fit Mr. West’s storyline perfectly. While this is the first (potential) leak from his upcoming Les Is More, which currently has no release date, I’m not sure it’s enough for me to anticipate the drop just yet.  Am I alone?

Mashonda Covers King Magazine

...and could not look better.  I'm so glad they've brought King back at least quarterly.  The singer, and ex-wife of Swizzy is "On To The Next One" (how clever) and talking to the mag about her new show on VH1, her "loyalty" tattoo and male groupies...

On "Love & Hip-Hop." 
I did a few episodes [first], then ended up doing a lot of episodes because the chemistry was perfect with me and Emily. I ended up being a recurring guest, and it worked out perfectly, because I’m on the show and people get to see me and hear my stories. But it’s not like a character that’s 100 percent there.

On Her Loyalty Tattoo 
I got it a year after everything started going downhill. It’s a reminder to me that I have to be loyal to myself for once.
I was so loyal to everyone, and I totally forgot about me. This is what it represents—it represents loyalty to self. Now I have to do things that I love to do, and I have to make myself happy, because I don’t really agree when people say, “I need a man ’cause I want to be happy,” or “I’m not happy because I don’t have a man.” That’s not where it starts. Happiness starts from within, and that’s in my focus.

On Having Male Groupies
[Laughs] Oh, Lord, you know what, I show everybody love. But I don’t like the word “groupie”—it’s so harsh. I don’t feel there’s anything wrong with one person admiring another person.

New Music: Pusha T Feat. 50 Cent & Pharrell "Raid"

When Runaway dropped and I realized Pusha T was the newest signee to Mr. West’s G.O.O.D. Music label, the first thing I thought (after, why didn’t ‘Ye just sign Malice too?), was that this was a big move in the right direction for one of the game’s top lyricists. With every new guest verse and the recently leaked My God Pusha had us all salivating for his next body of work, and with this new recordRaid, he’s continuing to build hype around his forthcoming mixtape, Fear of God, scheduled to drop March 21. On Raid the Clipse alum lyrically reminisces on how his days of slangin’ in VA have ultimately turned into a dream life, while G-Unit boss 50 Cent jumps on board to spit on how the only thing that’s changed about him is the money. On the production tip the piano-driven Neptunes track harkens back to the Lord Willin’ days, as does Pharrell’s hook of “ferocious AK’s” that are “sprayin’ on you roaches.” Ultimately it’s more than enough to have me amped for Push’s mixtape and eventual album - are you feeling it too?

R.I.P. NATE DOGG

This genuinely hurts to write about. Being a 80's baby from Compton, growing up on 90's Hip-Hop, Nate means so much to the game, and it saddens me to say he passed away early morning on March 15th. No cause has been released, but he did suffer from 2 strokes, in 2007 and 2008. Rest in peace to one of the greats. Love you babe...

The Source's Newest Cover: Gucci Mane

I'm not the biggest Gucci fan in the world, but he def has a place in the IPOD. What he lacks in talent, he makes up for in hustle. Gotta respect that.

New Music: J. Cole "Killers"

My favorite MC right now, J. Cole channels 2Pac in a major way on this new leaked reference track, "Killers," complete w/ Richard Pryor references and his usual out of this world word play. All I need to know now is when this fuckin album is going to drop.

New Chris Brown 2X

Two tagged versions of new Breezy music has just leaked and the shit is fire. First up is "Scissor, Paper, Rock" feat. Timbaland, who I assumed produced this, and Big Sean. Perfect song to play on the highway w/ subwoofers on blast.



Second is his collab w/ Wiz Khalifa called "Bomb"...and yes ladies and gents, they're talking about me ;) This reminds me of 6'7 and A Milli, is it just me? Not to mention, Wiz went hard as hell on here.



I can't lie, I was one of those "I'll never support him again" chicks, but I'm addicted to his latest shit. I'm coppin' F.A.M.E. on March 22nd. Is good music enough to overlook an artists' personal shortcomings?

New Video: Lil Wayne Feat. Cory Gunz "6'7"

Weezy and Corey Gunz finally dropped a video to their smash "6'7" directed by Hype Williams last night. Love the literal translation of Wayne's lyrics (i.e.- "Bitch, Stop Playing" shows a female dog rolling around. Simple as hell, but kind of genius). Also, both him and Gunz look fine as hell here, which is something I've never said about either one of them before. Basically, if you like the song, you'll love the video...enjoy.
