Kany West - Love Lockdown Official Video
Kanye drops the video for Love Lockdown. Instead of debuting on 10th & Park he gives Ellen the world premeire. Maybe he is going for a different audience with this album, "808's & Heartaches". I ain't mad at him.

B.I.G. Rocking a Bape hoodie in mid 90's
For everyone who thinks Bape was an overnight sucess story, think again. The fashion game is a grind that can take decades, as evidenced by this picture of none other than the late, great Christopher Wallace a.k.a. Biggie Smalls wearing a Bape hoodie circa 1995. Obviously, the notorious one was ahead of his time with more than just his wordplay. Clipse and Pharrell get credit for popularizing Nigo's brand, but let the record show Big Poppa was doin' it first! Shout out to mykixspace.com.

Raymond Franics "Lefty's Story" Interview
Urban-reviews.com
Raymond Francis, 26, born in New Brunswick, NJ but raised in Willingboro, NJ is an author of urban literature. With a unique style that can only be described as ahead of it's time, he is definitely a force in the ever-changing hip-hop literature game.
His first short story, Lefty's Story is available through Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com, and PublishAmerica.com. He is currently looking for a publishing home for his novel
tentatively entitled Roses in Concrete.
Author's Myspace Page: http://www.myspace.com/youngtraffik
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Urban Reviews: Tell us about your novel Lefty's Story.
Raymond Francis: Lefty's Story is my debut, written in 2006 when I was 24 years old. It took a few months for me to write.
Urban Reviews: Where did the idea for this storyline come from?
Raymond Francis: I wanted to do something that represented my hometown; Willingboro, NJ. I put on for my city, just like Jeezy and Kanye. It is inspired by some personal experience as well as some imagination. Everyone asks me if it is a true story; I always say that it is fiction, but if it was true I would never admit it.
Urban Reviews: What inspired you to become a writer?
Raymond Francis: So many things. First my mother for always encouraging me to write. Secondly, my life is full of events to write about. Also, I'm a daydreamer so I always have crazy scenarios and stories floating around in my head. Finally, I feel like I can tell stories from a perspective that the reader can respect and relate to.
Urban Reviews: What are your goals as a writer?
Raymond Francis: I want to leave a legacy. None of us will be here forever, but generations down the line I want someone to be able to pick up my writing and feel like they know me. I like the idea of being able to communicate with people that I will never physically meet. I've never met Jay-Z, but I have been listening to his music for so long I feel like I know him. That's the feeling I want to leave my readers with. I want them to feel like they know me and the characters I create.
Urban Reviews: Lefty's Story is a rather small book. Did you ever think about including it in an anthology?
Raymond Francis: Yeah, I was new to publishing so I would have been happy to have that book in any anthology. I was rejected by a few publishing houses; Shannon Holmes, Cartel Publications and Triple Crown. But I'm glad I was able to get it out there via Publish America.
Urban Reviews: What things would you have done differently in regards to your book?
Raymond Francis: Nothing. Sometimes I wish I had made it longer, but I've had a few friends who are not really avid readers tell me that they like my book because of the length. Some people living that fast life don't have time to sit and read 70,000 words. I love everything about my book, right down to the cover done by my man Kayo Stokes for BLVD.
Urban Reviews: What do you like to do when you are not writing?
Raymond Francis: I party, I go out as much as I possibly can. Check www.nightlifelink.com, I'm on there! Also I'm into music, mostly hip-hop and soul. I'm a basketball fan, New York Knicks all day and I'm a fashion fanatic, gotta stay fresh. Other than that, I just like to be around my family and friends. S, Kayo, Redd, Burns, H, Jig, Joedaga, She - I love ya'll.
Urban Reviews: What are some of your all-time favorite books or authors?
Raymond Francis: People are always surprised when I say this, but I don't really read much. My favorite book is The Coldest Winter Ever by Sistah Souljah. That was the first book where I really related to the characters. I also think Shannon Holmes is a talented writer.
Urban Reviews: Do you have any ideas for any possible future projects?
Raymond Francis: Yeah, I have another novel complete. Right now it is called Roses in Concrete. I'm searching for a publishing home for that one now. It is longer and much better than Lefty's Story. I'm always working on something.
Urban Reviews: Is there anything else you would like to share about yourself or your book?
Raymond Francis: I just want people to look at this book as an inspiration. I was living in a motel when I wrote this book, but I knew that I was capable of doing more with my life. So to anybody out there who feels like they need to change up their life, let this book let you know that it is possible.

50 Cent to drop "Before I Self Destruct" Movie
50 Cent’s life is like a movie, so it makes sense that he’s writing one. The rapper is working on a feature film, Before I Self-Destruct, which is based on his album of the same name. “It’s not Purple Rain,” 50 says of the flick, which he also directed and produced. “But it was inspired by the actual music.” (His album is due out December 9th; 50 plans to release the movie simultaneously.)
The film — which isn’t autobiographical — aims to show the complexities of what 50 refers to as “urban life” in a new way: “When [movies] portray certain lifestyles they don’t show cause and effect,” he says. “But I showed characters under pressure in scenarios where they felt like there were no other options, even though there were.” He adds, “There are always options. People just usually start to see them while being incarcerated — for not seeing them in the first place.”
As for a soundtrack, tracks from Before I Self-Destruct the album will be missing from the movie. “Then Interscope would automatically have the rights to it, when they had absolutely no ownership of the actual material,” says 50, who penned a separate score for the film and recruited unsigned artists to record vocals. But that doesn’t mean the tunes are sub-par. “I kept the music up to standards,” says 50. “I worked with it until it was right.”

Biggie Smalls movie coming in 09
Anxious to see how Gravy does as B.I.G.(baby baby), Anthony Mackie as 2Pac (Hit em up!), and Derek Luke as Puffy (take that, take that, take that!) Should be a good flick.

Kanye West Performance at VMAs
Mr. West debuts his new single at MTV's Video Music Awards. Kanye goes in with "Lock Love Down". He raps through the auto-tune/vocoder and crushes his performance. The only other people I've seen move a crowd with a song they never heard before would have to be the Carters (Jigga & Weezy). I'm not feelin' the suit with the light up heart, but the song is crazy!

Beanie Sigel co-signs Asher Roth
If ya'll don't know who Asher Roth is, he's a white rapper out of Morrisville, PA (yeah Morrisville, where Seasame Place is). Beans takes time out to call Asher the future. P.S. Sigel takes a little shot at Gillie by calling himself the REAL king of Philly.

Rick Ross Haircut
Some fans are still showing support for Rick Ross the boss. By the way Rick still denies ever being a C.O. He says the whole thing is a smear campaign. My solution; hook him up to a lie detector test!
Rick Ross Birth Certificate
Rick Ross birth certificate from Mississippi. Apparantely he wasn't "born & raised in the county of Dade" like the song says.

It may be over for Rick Ross the boss
Now this one is photoshopped, but it's too funny. I don't know how Rick Ross is going to recover from this. Will all the rappers who were so quick to jump on songs with him still be in his corner?

Rick Ross - More Evidence
Somebody is really trying to expose Rick Ross. Rick said the C.O. picture was photoshopped, so these dudes came back with more pics. Plus, they even show negatives to the original picture. To top it all off, they even refer to him as Rick False! Rick got some explaining to do.

Rick Ross - Corrections Officer Picture
Rick Ross denies that he was ever a C.O., but this picture says otherwise. "The Real Noriega" was in federal prison in Florida, maybe that's how Rick knows him.

Jigga really is a rockstar. He has definitely come a long way from Marcy, and Memphis Bleek has ridden his coattails the whole time.

The King of da South is back! First single off of "Paper Trail" This is the best way for T.I. to silence the haters - make good music!
G-Unit album coming soon
G-Unit T.O.S. commercial - like the NBA playoffs theme. My guess is Young Buck won't be in any of the commercials.

We On Fire, Up In Here
It's not clear on who started the fire, but the house is owned by 50¢. And it's the same house his Baby's Momma is being evicted from. Is this another case of the "BBS", Bitter B!tch Syndrome.

McClaren returns in 2010 with a new super car that is now under the codename P11. Since the chances are I will never own one, I at least get to spend time figuring out whether this car's year is a 10 or a 0-10.

B Is For... Belly?
I have to agree with mediatakeout.com on this one. Beyoncé never had a stomach like this. Did Jay get that late text, that "I think I'm late text"?
