Cellblock Weezy closes out the weekend of two more pieces of evidence proving how terrible of an LP Rebirth was. Rock on!

Estelle counters her David Guetta single with something a little more down to earth and pretty similar to “American Boy”. Two versions – one with nice guy John Legend, the other with bad man Nas. Estelle – “Fall In Love” (feat. Nas) Estelle – “Fall In Love” (feat. John Legend)

There are a lot of people trying to do what Sage Francis does really well. One of the fundamental problems with the indie hip-hop movement was that it allowed anyone with a computer to attempt to make a name for themselves. Granted, this problem runs rampant in commercial hip-hop as well, but the underground was [cont.]

More from the endless vaults of Dr. Dre, which also contain mythical albums from Rakim, Eve, Last Emperor, Hittman, King Tee, and more. YourAudioFix leaked these Stat Quo Statlanta gems, left over from the Shady / Aftermath recording sessions. Both tracks feature rhymes from Em, with “Classic Shit” taking some shots at some 2003-era competitors. [cont.]

Interdependent Media founder TRUTHLiVE looks to make a name for himself with Patience, an open, honest debut album produced entirely by Jake One. Hot off the heels of Jake’s critically acclaimed Stimulus Package with Freeway, TRUTH has got a cocked eyebrow or two looking in his direction with this release. TRUTH’s debut is one that [cont.]

Nicki comes through with her (potential) second single after “Massive Attack Failure”, and unfortunately this one doesn’t look much better. We dig everything that Nicki has done up until this point, but this lame attempt at crossing over by sampling Annie Lennox falls flat. Can we expect mimes in drag for the video? Maybe third [cont.]

We had to dig this one up. This disastrous freestyle session isn’t quite a battle, but goes crazily awry when an over-excited Freaky Tah “goes in” live on Tim Westwood’s show. It begins with Spigg Nice doing his thing, only to be over powered by his pal Tah (R.I.P.). Heltah Skeltah try to salvage the [cont.]

Ugh, what a mess.

Lauryn Hill going out to eat at a restaurant, does not equate to her releasing a new album anytime soon, guys. Just saying.

This is almost as funny as that time that Jay-Z caused the towers to fall with the release of The Blueprint. Almost.

Nothing like sportsmanlike conduct, huh? Quite possibly the douchiest rapper YouTube moment since this.

Another 50 Cent directed video for Lloyd Banks, taken from his Halloween Havoc mixtape. Ask questions later.

Ciara returns with two new videos – the first, her new duet with Ludacris, which you can expect to hear on urban radio all day long. And the second….ah, the second….. Ciara takes it back to the streets, yo. Or better, a backlot with lots of dirt and shrubbery. Here, she shows us just how [cont.]

Wow, isn’t a funny that just now cats are starting to realize that Shyne is not a great rapper? Where were you guys ten years ago when we weren’t giving Shyne any props on this site because he sounded like Biggie? (That goes for you too, Guerilla Black). Anyway, Shyne still sucks and his latest [cont.]

Jeezy’s looking so intelligent on the cover to his forthcoming Don Cannon mixtape release, Trap Or Die II: By Any Means Necessary. We’re sure this is exactly what Malcolm X had in mind. Jeezy + Don Cannon – “Greatest Trapper Alive” (MP3)

The long-awaited, highly anticipated collaboration between Bobby Ray and Marshall Mathers. Oh, and Haley Williams. Taken from B.o.B.’s Adventures Of Bobby Ray, dropping April 27th. We’re going to do our best not to quote “Ether” here.

Diabolic rose up through the underground circuit in the early 2000′s, winning a number of rap battles with his well thought out, multi-syllabic punch rhymes. Now signed with Immortal Technique’s Viper Records, the little known emcee finally makes his official debut with A Liar and A Thief. The album finds Diabolic teaming a group of [cont.]

Our favorite rapper’s financial problems continue to stack up, after leaving L.A. County Superior Court in his continuing divorce saga with Kelis. The judge, who apparently has never heard Illmatic, ordered Nas to pay $47,249.42 in back child support and $40,454 in back spousal support, followed by monthly payments of $10,000 a month until a [cont.]

Mark Ronson struck gold with Amy Winehouse, by delivering genuine, quality music, usually backed by the production of himself, Salaam Remi, and and the instrumentation of the Dap Kings. This became a new movement in music, which took off heavier in the U.K. than in the U.S., creating a unique fusion of classic funk-soul vibes [cont.]

John Legend has a level of class about him that his buddy Kanye could only wish to attain. In a joint effort with American Express’s “Pairings” series of events, Legend joins up at Craftsteak in New York City with renowned chef Tom Colicchio and winemaker Susan Lueker of Simi Winery for a “special evening”.
