A$AP Ferg – Fly Times Daily Interview
Juicy J’s “Stay Trippy Tour” made it’s way through the Triple D last night. Alongside J for this 37-city tour is ASAP Mob memeber ASAP Ferg. We got a chance to speak to Ferg about his upcoming project “Trap Lord”. He also talked to us about life’s struggles prior to signing a record deal.
Lil Reese ft. Wale & Waka Flocka – Money Stackin (Prod. by Young Chop)
Honestly, this is the first Reese song I’ve heard since that whole controversy and I’m not that impressed with his verse. Flocka comes through and does his usual yell-rap but it works as does Wale’s verse.
N.O.R.E. – DJ Drama Interview
P.A.P.I. hits up DJ Drama to speak on Student Of The Game, Guru, a phantom Gangsta Grillz project and more.

Taken from the NY Post:
Kanye West is due back in the States next month, Page Six has exclusively learned, but it’s not necessarily to rush to the side of his very pregnant reality star girlfriend, Kim Kardashian. Sources tell us the rapper — who’s been working on a new album in France — will appear as musical guest on “SNL” on May 18. West’s been holed up in a palatial pad ever since Paris fashion week in February, leaving his baby mama alone to brave pregnancy and public scrutiny over her weight, maternity fashions and upcoming divorce trial with Kris Humphries. Sources tell us the rapper’s even pondering a permanent move to Paris. An NBC rep would only say the show hasn’t announced its lineup.

Ludacris has a new #IDGAFFridays series, and this track is the latest. ‘Fried Day’, indeed.
The O’Jays Sue Crown Royal, Diss Big K.R.I.T. Over Song Use
The O’Jays have sued Crown Royal for the use of ‘For The Love Of Money’ in this commercial…..but the true sting is what they had to say about Big K.R.I.T.’s addition to the track (which was a collaboration with 9th Wonder). From BET:
The O’Jays have a $1 million bone to pick with the makers of Crown Royal for unauthorized use of their 1973 hit “For the Love of Money.”
Founding members Eddie Levert, Sr. and Walter Williams, Sr. filed a lawsuit, claiming the company’s new commercial featuring NBA legend Dr. J is “humiliating” and “demeaning.”
Despite the theme and Crown Royal’s past attempts to woo urban radio listeners (the brand has teamed up with Big Boi and Jermaine Dupri in the past), Levert and Williams are not impressed. They are seeking a seven figure payout and turned their ire on K.R.I.T., too, calling his rhyme “childish” and calling him a “poseur with limited ability to carry a tune.”

A$AP Rocky & Adidas – #QuickAintFair Advert
A$AP Rocky gets a quick check (the ad also uses the single ‘Goldie’):
When you’re Quicker than your opponents, it ain’t fair. It ain’t fair that Quick goes number 1, makes All-Star teams and wins Rookie of the Year. It ain’t fair that the Crazyquick has the innovation and technology to make you Quicker. A$AP Rocky tells the story of #QuickAintFair featuring John Wall, Damian Lillard and Jrue Holiday.

BEHIND THE SCENES: Sean Kingston Feat. Chris Brown & Wiz Khalifa – Beat It
This song ain’t saying nothin’ new, so getting an original, extremely creative director like Colin Tilley is a plus.

Curtis Williams, FatKidsBrotha and Retro Sush! performed in D.C. the other day and cameraman GUNNERSELLWHITE shot and edited some footage of their live performance. Trust that these kids are up next.
