Cam’ron (@Mr_Camron) – You Know This
Apparently, this song (a radio rip) marks the 10-year anniversary of Dipset’s debut. Way to make me feel old.
@SlumVillage Feat. @T3sv, @YoungRJDetroit & @ThatSimpsonGuy – Decadence
So, is T3 not apart of Slum Village anymore? Whom does the group even consist of at this point? Seeing how dope this record is, does it even matter?
Dirty Slums 2 is coming soon.

Heatmakerz (@THEHEATMAKERZ) & Fred The Godson (@FREDTHEGODSON) In The Studio
Fred The Godson has to be one of the dopest emcees to be slept-on…..with hope, this new mixtape will hopefully put him back in the correct spotlight. Check out some in-studio footage of him with the Heatmakerz working on the as-yet-untitled upcoming project.

Khia (@QueenKhia) – Come To Moma
This song doesn’t really suck, but I’m pretty confident Khia won’t be going places as a result of it. Here’s to hoping she knew how to manage her entertainment dollers since ‘My Neck, My Back’.
Macklemore (@Macklemore) & Ryan Lewis’ (@RyanLewis) ‘Thrift Shop’ Goes Platinum
I’m really amazed by how these two are doing it: the Seattle duo have scored a platinum plaque with their single ‘Thrift Shop’. Kudos, gentlemen.

Blue Ivy Voted Worst Baby Name of 2012
From The Grio:
According to BabyNames.com, Blue Ivy has been voted the worst celebrity girl’s name of 2012.
Over 2,000 members of the website voted for the best and worst celebrity baby names of 2012. About 47.1 percent of participants voted Jay-Z and Beyonce’s daughter the worst celebrity baby girl’s name.
Founder and CEO of BabyNames.com, Jennifer Moss told the press celebrity parents aren’t as daring when it comes to naming their children as some have been in the past.
“We’re not seeing crazy names like Pilot Inspektor or Moxie Crimefighter anymore,” Moss explained. “I think celebrities are becoming a little more sensitive to the fact that the child has to live with his or her name.”
Lion, son of Alex O’Loughlin and Malia Jones, was voted the worst celebrity baby boy’s name of 2012. While Charlotte Grace, daughter of Jenn Schefft and Joe Waterman, was voted the best celebrity baby girl’s name and Luca Cruz, son of Hillary Duff and Mike Comrie, was voted the best celebrity baby boy’s name of 2012.

A few sites around the web (including Examiner) are listing a reported cast list for Pixar’s ‘The Good Dinosaur’ that includes Lil Wayne, Joan Rivers, Jason Alexander and, of course, John Ratzenberger.
We’ve reached out to reps at Disney and Pixar for comment but, as of press time, haven’t heard confirmation on the news.
‘The Good Dinosaur’ is scheduled to hit theaters on May 30, 2014 and goes like this:
“What if the cataclysmic asteroid that forever changed life on Earth actually missed the planet completely and giant dinosaurs never became extinct?”
