Despite his album leaking online a month in advance, A$AP Rocky's Long.Live.A$AP debuts at #1 with 139,000 sold. I'm not sure why most rappers don't utilize the open terrain that is January, but this is a good look for Rocky.

Pusha T - Exodus 23:1 Video

This video was a bit disappointing, I mean, they could've at least shot the shit at night to fit with the feel of the song. Oh well, the song is so dope, it really doesn't even matter.

Lil Wayne - Goulish (Pusha T Diss)

Welp, looks like this YMCMB vs. G.O.O.D. Music battle is on. Here's Lil Wayne's first official diss directed at Pusha T.

Lil Wayne - Goulish (Pusha T Diss)

Wait, did Lil Wayne bother listening to hear Exodus 23:1? I feel like he would've decided against dropping this and went with something completely different had he heard how hard that record is. If this was just a random freestyle, I'd say it was okay; there's some good lines in there and there's some bad ones. BUT as a response to Exodus 23:1? This shit is WEAK!

I could imagine Pusha T hearing that Lil Wayne dropped a diss record and feeling some nervous excitement, then actually playing this shit and laughing as he remembers that he's now the Thunder to Lil Wayne's Lakers. Yeah, you were good at one point, but there's no question who's better now.

It'll be interesting to see if Pusha even feels this is reply worthy, or just let Lil Wayne continue to hang himself struggle diss by struggle diss.

G.O.O.D. Music 1, YMCMB 0

Lil Wayne Twitter Disses Pusha T

If for some reason you follow Lil Wayne on Twitter and were up at 4:52am, you were probably shocked to see the following tweet being sent from his account.

Hmmm, this couldn't have anything to do with that Exodus 23:1 record Pusha T just dropped that was widely reported to be a Drake diss, could it? And the plot thickens...

Drake - HYFR & Take Care Videos

I don't know if Drake really recommitted to Judaism or not, but this was a dope concept for a video. (Much better than the bullshit you're about to see below.)

I still don't know what to say about this nigga Lil Wayne, so I'll let my man Kain Carter handle that.


What the fuck?

No, seriously, what the fuck? I really had no idea what was going on or why it was going on besides to make us feel like Drake and Rihanna are really artsy and cool. I feel far more confused than impressed, but I still like the song.

Mystikal - Original (feat. Birdman & Lil Wayne) Video

You know how weird it is the first few times you see a person who had dreads/braids/afro after they cut their hair? I don't have that feeling about Mystikal at all. Maybe it's because he hung onto those struggle braids so long that you could tell what he'd eventually look like bald if he just looked straight forward? Well whatever the case, I'm glad he's home and making great music, even if his new song and video were interrupted by the weirdness that is Lil Wayne and Birdman.

On another note, yesterday on 106 & Park, Mystikal announced that his new album will also be called Original. How original.

Drake - The Motto (feat. Lil Wayne & Tyga) Video

I see it's becoming a bit of a tradition for Drake to make at least one question fashion choice per video. In Headlines it was the Bill Cosby sweater and this time it's the cheetah print jacket (that I have a hard time assuming he found in the men's department). Oh well, at least he had Lil Wayne's inflatable green boots in the video to soften the blow.

(Side note: Young Real Nigga murked everybody on this beat!)

Mystikal - Original (feat. Birdman & Lil Wayne)

As if it wasn't taking him long enough to drop his first post-prison album, Mystikal has officially signed with Cash Money Records. Mystikal on Cash Money, how wild does that sounds? If you would've told 13 year-old me Mystikal would end up on Cash Money one day, I would've said you were a fucking crazy. Then again, if you told 13 year-old me Mystikal would leave No Limit, rise to the top of the game, and then go on to spend the majority of the 2000s in prison, I would've killed myself. (Yeah, 13 year-old me was the biggest Mystikal fan in the world.)

Anyway, fuck all that, let's get into this new record!

Mystikal - Original (feat. Birdman & Lil Wayne)

I can't lie, this shit is pretty tough. Dope beat, dope lyrics, and they only let Birdman be on the chorus. That's a win if you ask me. The only thing that would've made this better is if Mannie Fresh produced it.

Mac Miller Plays Guitar Live at House Of Blues Las Vegas

I'm not even gonna front like I'm a huge Mac Miller fan, but this video is quite impressive. I mean, of course, he's no Lil Wayne or anything, but I'd say he did a good job.

I wonder where he got that Forrest Gump bench from though? That shit is pretty swag.

Speaking of guitars and Lil Wayne, while I was Googling for videos of Weezy sucking at guitar, I found this awfully funny one by this Canadian kid named Relatively Large Steve. Check that shit out:

Nicki Minaj (Unfunny) Public Service Announcement

If you ever needed a reason why comedy isn't for everybody, look no further. I mean, fuck, you would think she collaborated with Dormtainment to do this Lil Wayne parody by the overwhelming unfunniness of it. And most egregiously, she didn't even pull down her pants! The whole reason I (and hopefully many others) turned off the Wayne PSA was because the nigga started pulling down his pants, and what did we get from Nicki? Nothing. A big ass shiny plate of nothing. I now know how Def Jam felt after they signed Shyne.

So let's recap: not only did this "parody" not contain one morsel of comedy, but there was also no Nicki nudity. Fuck! I guess I should be more pissed off at myself for watching the whole thing than anything else, but fuck that, I'm deflecting the blame. Nicki Minaj is hot, thus she doesn't have to be funny, so I'm sending a big "screw you" out on the cameraman and uploader for even putting this out there to be seen. Screw you, cameraman and uploader!
