Kanye, Jay-Z & Beyonce watch…Wale???

Last night was Mark Ronson's first big Stateside show and everyone was out and about in NYC to support. DC wildman and URB contributer (Jul/Aug), Wale apparently stole the show, according to some reports. One thing that we can report for sure is that his newly dropped 100 Miles And Running mixtape slaughters the slaughter that slaughtered the slaughter. Opening up with one of our favorite Dilla beats evar (flipped by Ronson) doesn't hurt either. Mixed by Nick Catchdubs (who also wrote the shit out of the Lil Wayne story in this month's Fader), 100 Miles is a tour-de-force…when steroids were still cool and yellow jerseys meant something. Click here to have Wale put some .ZIP in your step.

But sometimes Trash is more fun to dance to

This is a great story in the nation's ongoing disgust with hip-hop as these billboards, up around Chicago, are making mainstream media waves and funded by a local church. But trash is so much more fun on the dancefloor…and you know what we think of Weezy. Oh, the irony of the St. Sabina Church paying Clear Channel to rent out those billboards. Our list would look like this:

* Enrique Iglesias ft. Lil Wayne
* Eisley
* Jeff Goldbloom
* Dave Matthews and his shit leaking tour bus
* Billboards denouncing rap around the Chicago metropolitan area
* Twista
* San Antonio Spurs (especially Bruce Bowen & Robert Horry)

Cool Kids & Weezy free MP3

It's been getting close to this for a long time now, and we're not just talking about the Ed Hardy tees either. But Weezy F Baby's collaborations have been getting more and more on that cool kid party-type vibe and here is, with the actual Cool Kids. And while Lil Wayne's recent guest on the Enrique Iglesias album might have had you thinking this shift was thwarted, think again. That, or dude will just hop on everything he can. We're really fuckin' siked he hopped on this. The buzz single off DJ Benzi's up-coming album on Amalgam Entertainment.

Lil Wayne – Da Drought 3 (Review)

Lil Wayne

Da Drought 3

Released by Young Money Records


Once upon a time deeming Lil Wayne the greatest rapper breathing wasn't just considered silly, it was damn near unforgivable. A refined Weezy dropped Tha Carter II, and suddenly holding the rapper in such high regard was tolerable, albeit met with the odd refute. Now, having ravished just about every beat he's graced over the past year (and that's a lot of beats) Cash Money's prized asset is shaming anyone who dares vye for the title Best Rapper Alive. He knows it too, and on latest mixtape Da Drought ...

Lil Wayne: Industrial Psychology

Presiding over Cash Money Records should've tipped us off, but why does it hurt our feelings that Lil' Wayne, URB's rapper of the year, is only in it for the scrilla? 

By Brandon Perkins

The snarl was familiar before I ever put my head on the platinum-buttoned ocelot fur couch. “Get money. Fuck bitches.” Eyes closed, I know that my diamond-grilled therapist isn’t taking notes and I wonder how much he’s even listening, while he hypnotically repeats the mantra—Get money. Fuck bitches. Get money. Fuck bitches—each syllable gurgling like a telltale heart gone hood. I don’t remember if I asked him about the major general of the Queen’s Navy chasing me up the mountain or when I diffused a bomb while slathered in white paint or why, in my waking hours, I would actually break up with perfectly scrumptious, wifey-material because she once wore a silly hat. I really don’t think it’d matter. Dr. Weezy F. Baby (please say the motherfuckin’. . .Ph.D) has one lesson: Get money. Fuck bitches. And that’s …
