3 people you probably never knew were buds...

Kevin McCall (Deuces), Gucci Mane and Marilyn Manson.

File this under "WTF!?"

According to Kevin:

“I’ve been doing a lot of work for Marilyn Manson,” says K-Mac. “I’ve been trying to venture out into that crowd. It’s real different. He’s such a visual genius. He’s gonna direct a couple of videos for me.”

“I actually met him through Gucci Mane, which is weird and Gucci Mane is my big bro,” he said. “We do a lot of work together, so it’s so funny to meet such a rock icon through a trap dude. It just shows you the power of music. It could really unite people.”

Could you imagine Gooch & Manson just hangin out @ a waffle house talkin about current events and life? 

Me neither.

hahaha @ "Young Goober"

Jeezy remixes his current banger with the help of K.Dot, the guy who got beat up by Drake and Y.G (who I like to refer to as "Young Goober")

Great News!

I spoke about this a month or so ago, but more details have surfaced about the movie based off the famous novel "The Great Gatsby" (Starring Leo D.) and Jay-Z's involvement in the production.

Says Jiggaman:

“As soon as I spoke with Baz and Leonardo, I knew this was the right project. The Great Gatsby is that classic American story of one`s introduction to extravagance, decadence and illusion. It`s ripe for experimentation and ready to be interpreted with a modern twist. The imagination Baz brought to `Moulin Rouge` made it a masterpiece, and `Romeo + Juliet`s` score wasn`t just in the background; the music became a character. This film`s vision and direction has all the makings of an epic experience.” 

The Great Gatsby is scheduled to hit theaters May 10th & the soundtrack will be released on Interscope.

"Hov!"

Long hair, don't care (No, he REALLY does not care!)

1 of my good friends and #PatronBoyZ business partners, Mr.Abe Siddall, has decided to let his hair grow all summer (He's obviously bored). After sending me a couple pix over the last couple weeks, I have decided to monitor his hair growth on my blog, for all of us to enjoy. This guy is such a goober, but I love him and for a guy with no hair (gotdamn you, male pattern baldness), I'm vicariously living through him. Expect weekly updates & pix as Abram continues to show me & the world, that he absolutely does not give a fuck! Ha!

the cat is officially out of the bag!

(I been wanting to share this news for a minute now!!!!! Eeeeeeek!)

NEW Biggie blend tape by DJ Rhude

I’ve always wondered what Big would sound like rocking with some of today’s producers, which was the catalyst behind this project. I’ve taken 9 of his songs and matched them up with some of the dopest producers out now. Some noteworthy beats featured on The Notorious 9 are from Harry Fraud, No I.D., Large Professor, The Alchemist, Jahlil Beats and a few others. Along for the ride are some respected heavyweights from the industry in Datwon Thomas (Exec. Ed. Vibe Mag) Shaheem Reid (The Round Up, XXL, Shade 45), Jayson Rodriguez (The Content King, host of The BQE), Rob Markman (MTV News) and DJ Goldfinger. They all took some out time to share their thoughts on Big. Hope everyone enjoys this tribute to one of the greatest rappers to grace the mic. RIP to the late, great Frank White. Peace. – DJ Rhude

pass the mic

This dropped the other day, just peeped it tho. A bunch of muthafuckas over a Hit-Boy beat. Word.

Nausea...

Writer's block is officially over.

New music coming soon. Very soon.

Take me out to the ball game!

Batter up!

"The greatest rapper of all time, died on March 9th." - Canibus

Never forget.

"I look in the clouds, hope you past the sun

Hope you right next to God and he calling you Son.
Taking you in, Angels breaking you in
This is heaven and no longer do you have to sin.
And may God bless your mom and your two children
Your wife, your family and all your friends.
Everybody stay strong, the good die young
Where we from it's all wrong, we all confused.
Never know what we have til what we have we lose,
Think Big, we just lost a very big jewel.
Hip-hop itself is at a pit-stop itself,
Seeing Big die, I wish the shit would stop itself.
It hurts, you're probably too good for this earth,
Genius at his work,
Made dirty cats wanna get a clean shirt
Pop Cristal and rock they ice work, go Big!
Everybody wanted to know Big,
Made the rap biz, glitter like showbiz.
Ask anybody, who could flow? Big.
All the cats shined, but you would glow, Big.
Frank White lyrically, moved n***as spiritually
Made you wanna get a cup, fill it up with Hennessy
Front in the club and light a dutch where the women be
If you seen the show then I know you felt the energy..."

Friday can't come soon enough!

This guy is seriously the leader in keeping ME interested in hip hop in 2013. 

Harry Fraud recently announced that he'll be dropping a new project this friday titled "Adrift". Below is the 1st leak off that project featuring Action Bronson "Morey Boogie Boards"

Here's what Harry had to say about Adrift & other upcoming projects.

“Adrift is a project that rounds up all the random songs I have produced for people over the last year and a half outside of my immediate Coke Boys and SRFCHL families, as well as previously unreleased songs from Action Bronson, Mac Miller, French Montana, Chevy Woods, and Chinx Drugz. This project is meant to serve as a prequel to the EP I will be releasing with Scion AV in late April. Also look out for an instrumental project, as well as a collection of music from me and French Montana coming in the next two months.”

Is it Friday, yet!?

"La Musica De Harry Fraud"

PSA

and now... a message from the King (via Rap Radar).

Last night I performed at the University of Arizona, I had a ball!! Through all the excitement and joking around (as well as the technical difficulties) I missed out on the opportunity to say something important..

On the show as well were Third Eye Blind and Kelly Clarkson.. I thought that to be the oddest pairing EVER but, soon realized, it’s what I’ve always professed..There is NO such thing as BLACK music or WHITE music only GOOD or BAD music..It’s stupid cool to like things that are not like you, and that goes for outside of music.. If you’re an African American you can have a jewish friend. Wait, does Lyor having some Israeli mixed with his jewish count? (Sure they are paranoid but, so are black people after they’ve smoked weed, haaaaa, and plus the JEW fro and the BLUEprint fro are the SAME thing.)

I think concerts like this should happen more often. ( Outside of the one or 2 festivals a year or “Zootopia”) I’m putting that into the universe..next up Taylor Swift and Uncle Murda!!

Sorry I don’t “Tweet” (do I?) so this will have to do..

Love.

Let's Talk About Sax

West Coast producer Terrace Martin does a saxophone cover of Kendrick's song* with Aubrey. Shit's dope son! Peep it!

* = 

I got next.

Keezy 1st, then Darius... Tubby on deck. 

I'm coming. 

If you ask me, I'm ready.

"I look into your eyes and I see me. Eye contact, I never seen a girl look as nice as she. 

Every time I'm with you I feel we're the same, 

your pain is my pain, I want you to carry my name.

My love for you is unconditional! 

You're my baby, you're my girl, you're my lady, you're my world, you're my... 

Well, you're so much more than all of that, 

I love you more than music, Yeah, I love you more than all of rap! 

Yeah, that sounds funny, but it says a lot, coming from me, 

coming from someone selfish, coming from a real emcee. 

But that is truly how I love you, place no thing or no one above you! 

And when I'm not there, know that I am thinking of you, 

know I'm counting down the seconds til the next time I can hug you, 

and tell you that I got a lot of women in my life, 

but no woman that I'll love just like my daughter...

And when I'm not there, know that I am thinking of you,

Happy birthday to my daughter Alani Tae-Young.
