Doggumentary, in stores March 29th.
Mikey Rocks drops the first set of visuals from his upcoming solo debut, The Rocks Report. Isn’t stealing snatches… well, you know… the r-word almost though? Unless it’s in the Dru Down, “Mack Of The Year” sense I guess.
YouTube is the new mixtape. Curtis drops another one for the VEVO heads of the world, quite possibly off that new mixtape he keeps referring to.

Above is an interview and some footage from Big Sean’s Toronto takeover, courtesy of The Come Up, while over at Complex he talks about working with Mike Posner, his G.O.O.D. Music life and times and more.
“There was one point in my career when I felt like I was abandoned by everybody. [That was] just how I felt. This was around 2008. Kanye was busy all the time, but Kanye is an artist himself. It was just a miscommunication between us. I felt like my management wasn’t on point at the time. I was just home in Detroit having to work on music myself. I didn’t really know how to do that. I was fresh in the game, I had just gotten signed, and I didn’t understand what the hold up [was]. Even at Def Jam I was like, ‘Man, why isn’t my stuff coming out? What’s up with this? Why isn’t Kanye making me my single?’ There were just a whole bunch of things going through my head, but I just had the completely wrong idea. Def Jam wasn’t in the wrong, Kanye wasn’t in the wrong, G.O.O.D Music wasn’t in the wrong. I realized that it’s not that I was abandoned, it’s just that I needed to still work like I wasn’t signed. They were supporting me as much as they could, but they had nothing to work with, honestly. It was like, ‘Man, how you gonna want us to put a single out and we’re not gonna make anything off of this? This isn’t gonna happen because you have no leverage.’ I was strictly signed off talent, but I had to gain my own leverage and I didn’t understand that at first.

Sauce Money stops by Rap Is Outta Control with Torae and DJ Eclipse to kick the knowledge about why the cost of gas keeps going up. Or something.
Regardless, since this is a Sauce Money type of deal, I invite those that actually know them to jot down their favorite line from ol’ boy in the c-section below.

So which rapper did the double-time flow the best: Ali or Mac Lethal?

If the title of this post sounds a bit… well… full retard (and I agree), it’s because rather than ask some possibly insightful question pertaining to, say, the motivation or inspiration behind Pharoahe Monch’s upcoming third album he gets asked how it felt when Kimberly desecrated his beat to rap about Nicki Minaj on that PayPal-sponsored mixtape everybody’s bought but nobody’s received yet. Meh.
I should have taken my ass to that event last night…
Young Chris and discuss making Chris’ solo debut album, Alive.
