RealTalkHipHop.org met up with ScHoolboy Q after his performance at Chene Park in Detroit, MI on June 5, 2013. He talked about the type of focus and stress he went through for a year while making Oxymoron. He discusses what classic albums he listens to, working with A$AP Rocky on Brand New Guy, and how dope Californication is, how to make a Mac Miller face and a challenge with Action Bronson. Guess how many bucket hats he owns?
To everyone who was saying that Step Bros ain't dropping this year... Nov 19th is the day. @rhymesayers #LordSteppington

Today, we have two new videos from Daz Dilly, the ‘Goin Gorilla’ clip above (taken from the upcoming Witit Witit) and the below video, ‘Love2Hate’, taken from another album he’s dropping called Weed Money. This man’s work ethic is serious right now.

From TMZ:
Toni Braxton may still have a song in her heart after filing for bankruptcy, but she just lost more than 2 dozen tunes that made her famous — because some dude bought them right out from under her … TMZ has learned.
TMZ broke the story … Braxton struck a deal in her bankruptcy case, in which she settled with her various debtors. Part of the deal — Toni could buy back 27 songs from her music catalog for $20K — with one BIG string attached … she could be outbid.
Enter a guy named Ross M. Klein, who doubled Toni’s price and nabbed the tunes.
Among the 27 are a few hits, including “You’re Making Me High,” “How Many Ways,” and “Always.”
“Un-Break My Heart” is not among the 27, and we don’t know its fate … although it looks like it’s still hers.
