Future’s not singing on this but it’s surprisingly good. Mostly all about bumping haters/traitors and being your confident self yada yada. It’s a look into his life as a touring musician most importantly, and why he doesn’t regret anything.

Covering a soul standard, Busta and The Abstract team up with famous friends (who don’t actually rhyme on the track). Still it’s a jam for the older folk and some revivalists.

Kanye stops by Philly’s Power 99 morning show for another epic sound bite. Yeezy speaks on why he decided to include confederate flags on the Yeezus tour gear, a Yeezus sequel, “New Slaves,” Watch The Throne 2, the paparazzi and more.

Louie and Herb rep the east side of the Chi in a doom-filled visual for “Eastside Sh*t,” which will live on King L’s upcoming Drilluminati sequel.

In the category of Awwww Reasons Why J. Cole Is Adorable and nothing more, this little girl livens up his performance by zoning out dancing. If only this kind of magic could happen every time he picked up a mic.

Part 2 Of Eminem’s Interview With Zane Lowe Part 3 after the jump. (more…)

This is a vet with respect for the legends. “Rap God” made him smile. He hearts Kanye’s live performances.

From his album Black Man’s Wealth II, SGP brings us some pimp talk and features.
