Looks like Kim Kardashian took exception to her body being used as the cover for The Sex EP. Seems kind of weird since the EP was free and it would be like re-posting the picture on a blog or something, but I'm no lawyer. At least we get some bonus material (and a new pair to enjoy...)!
Off Rappin' 4-Tay's album, Still Standing, which is out now. The album features appearances by Mistah FAB, Celly Cel, Matt Blaque, Skee Lo, San Quinn, Myra, E The Don, No Name, Kyle Owens, Montell Jordan, Treach, Mac Mall, Dru Down, Baby Bash, and Icon.
Eso Tre and Subz are L.A. duo Substance Abuse. The former URB Next 100 picks dropped their debut Brand New Crime in 1998, following up with 2006's Overproof which featured Motion Man, Saafir and Rasco and received four-star marks from URB and Scratch. "We"re big fans of Tha Alkaholiks and have fond memories of going to the Coast II Coast release party back in the day, so working with Tash was a pretty surreal experience," says Eso. "We tried to capture a little bit of the vibe from the 21 & Over and Coast II Coast albums with this track but with a more updated feel. We wanted to have a party jam but still keep the lyrical content, and Tash definitely came through in that respect. Tash also was really proactive in coming with ideas for how to flip the video and we appreciate how involved he was in that. We also got to perform with him the night we filmed the final sequence of the vid which was a lot of fun."
Things are finally shaping up for Jay Rock's debut album, Follow Me Home, which is due out July 26th. We know he's working with Dr. Dre and others on his album, so it should be a good one.
You can pre-order the album below for $18.98 and you will receive an autographed copy of the album, a limited edition t-shirt, a bonus track, and a sticker. Not a bad deal at all.
Hard Knock Tv's Nick Huff Barili sat down with the ambassador of the Bay: E-40. The interview starts out with E-40 speaking on longevity and giving advice to all the MC Fly By Nights to remain HUNGRY and HUMBLE! After a snippet of 40water performing Yay Area Nick ask 40 if he thinks the Bay Area including Too-Short, Hieroglyphics, Living Legends and himself get their due props from laying down the blueprint for moving units independently. You are gonna have to peep the video for the answer to that!
