Man I wish I was present with a cup in my hand for this performance: Q-Tip, Talib Kweli and The Roots perform a special rendition of my absolute favorite ATCQ track at the Okayplayer Holiday Jam.
Q-Tip tries to jump in half way so they rewind back to the top, in this epic jam session style version.
This guy is not a rapper…..from what Hip-Hop has become in 2013. Thankfully, the remix features a rapper (or two; I’m not really sure from Freck’s stance is, either).

From Hov’s Life + Times:
One of the most personal and poignant songs on his debut album “Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City,” here Kendrick Lamar decodes “Sing About Me, I’m Dying of Thirst” and tells the story behind the song.
This is pretty cool:
Trey Songz Visits a Lucky K104 Listener from Arlington at her Home! She asks him questions and he tells her how big it is!
After tearing down the stage with Wale at the Fillmore last night, Lightshow headed to the studio today to record a new song with his new boss. Produced by LG.
UPDATE: So it looks like weed — and not sex — was the culprit…from TMZ:
Law enforcement tells TMZ, Ocean was pulled over in Mono County, CA for going roughly 90 in a 65 — and when officers approached his black BMW, they smelled the odor of marijuana emanating from his vehicle.
According to law enforcement, cops searched Ocean and found a small bag of pot on his person.
We’re told Ocean was cited for marijuana possession, driving on a suspended license, and tinted windows.
Ocean was released on the spot, but his passenger had to drive him home — because cops confiscated Ocean’s license.
This is from Media Takeout, so take this with a grain of salt:
Frank Ocean and his male companion was allegedly caught performing sexual acts to one another Mister Cee-style when a Lakewood California officer pulled them over. He also posted a picture from the back of a cop car alongside a Tweet (which we don’t see, so it may have been removed) saying ‘worst trip ever’:
Details unfolding…
This is unfortunate, but I’m pretty sure the knowledge that Dee-1 is kickin’ is going to be headed over a lot of folks’ heads. From #TheFocusTape.

“I love when immature kids quote a rapper that has never been friends with Kobe and knows nothing about our relationship”
“Just shows how gullible they are. I don’t need to be in the gym. I’m raising our daughters, signing checks and taking care of everything else that pertains to our home life. […] I really wish people would stop THINK and then realize that they are being sucked into someone’s clear intention to monetize and gain attention off of our family’s heartache. This is real life. I hold down our home life so my husband can focus on his career. It’s a partnership. Since my husband isn’t friends with Drake, we received a text of an apology forwarded from his manager. It’s done and over with and it’s now time for people to THINK before speaking.”

Everybody was in the building (particularly if you’re a long-time Uptown DC resident) for UCB’s reunion concert at Layla Lounge. With Roc Mikey, Tre (who’s been holding down singing duties on a constant tour schedule alongside Wale and MMG) and the band back in full effect, the show was definitely one to remember.
Check out the fight is the video; for whatever reason, the performance of ‘Sexy Lady’ set it off. Go figure.

Jose Guapo got in the studio with Rich Homie Quan to work on some new music that will appear on the upcoming mixtape Cash Talk 3.
