Drake - Slow Down (feat. Tommy Star)
Not sure if this is new or old but keep this shit far away from Thank Me Later (if it comes out that is...I still have my doubts lol)! First off, who the fuck is Tommy Star and why is he even near the same studio as Drake?? I pray he's a songwriter and did this as a reference track since he can't sing for shit, but i doubt it. And as far as the Drake part goes, it was fine at first, but the cadence got a bit boring/annoying heading into the 2nd verse.
Just keep this shit far away from the album. Hopefully its old because it'd be sad to know Drake was doing shit like this poor man's November 18th instead of working on good music (that may or may not come out lol).

Look Back At It!
No real reason for posting this, I just thought it was gangsta that Pres. Obama still looks at ass. And to think they tried to say he wasn't in touch with what regular people like to do (or whatever shitty arguments they tried to make against him in '08).
Then again, he could just be looking at something on the ground lol.
Joe Budden Speaks On Inspectah Deck Diss
A few things stuck out while listening to this:
1) The person conducting this interview was terrible! She waited all the way until the end to tell him to stop cursing and then she basically told him he was done talking because she had someone else more important on the line. How do these people get on the radio?? lol.
2) The fact that Joey was allegedly trying to reach out to Meth to have a face-to-face makes Deck's diss seem even more out of left field than it did yesterday.
3) Joe said he was working Mood Muzik 4!
LeBron's Abuser Speaks!
No time to talk really but here's video of Jordan Crawford speaking on dunking on LeBron. Still SMH@ LeBron and Nike.

I really have no other reason for posting this besides it just being funny as hell lol.
Question: Will you try Hardees' holes??
1) Artest Officially A Laker
Welp, there's that #37 jersey we were promised. I hope he's working on a Michael Michael part 2 or a remix or something because I need another good laugh.
2) Four Team Trade Lands Marion In Dallas
The trade is very complicated but basically the Griz and the Magic jumped in to help the Raptors and Mavs complete this deal. Should be interesting.
Anyway, Bill Simmons put his thoughts on the trade on Twitter: "This year's Mavs are like great seats at a 50 Cent concert. You'll see them and think, 'Shit, it's too bad this isn't 2004.'"
Classic! LMAO!
3) Cavs Re-sign Varejão For $50M
What?? Are we sure the Cavs are really trying to win a championship?? Why sign a role player who proved to be absolutely USELESS in the playoffs for $50 MILLION?? Eight points and seven rebounds for $50 MILLION with the cap going down?? He's gonna be making more than Ron Artest lol. Insane!
More classic Simmons: "Statement from Cavs: 'Look, any time you can lock up a role player for $42.5m + incentives with the cap going backwards, you have to do it.'"
4) McDyess Set To Sign With Spurs
Three year deal for $15 million. Nice move, look out for the Spurs to make one final push at a ring this year.

LeBron Got Dunked On & Didn't Want Anyone To Know
I heard about this on First Take this morning and apparently LeBron James got dunked on something vicious by Xavier guard Jordan Crawford at one of his basketball camps Monday. From all that I've read, the dunk was 2-handed and nasty! So nasty that LeBron reportedly called over Nike Basketball Senior Director Lynn Merritt and had him confiscate all footage of the Balls Martini he was served from everyone videotaping it.
How wack is that??
In my book, EXTREMELY wack! Come on LeBron, stop being a bitch and let us see the tape! Everyone gets dunked on and frankly you trying to hide the tape makes you look even lamer than you would by getting dunked on. The tape will leak eventually anyway so I don't know what was the point of confiscating it in the first place. SMH @ the alleged King.
Anyway, Jordan's brother, Knicks guard Joe Crawford, agrees with me when he "tweeted" the following: "my brother dunk on Lebron, nike i wanna c the tape hahaha."
Joe has spoken LeBron, now lets see the tape!

Ron Artest - Michael Michael (MJ Tribute)
LMAO!!!! LMAO!!!! LMAO!!!!
I saw this when it came out last week, but actively tried to avoid it because I know how terrible a rapper Ron Artest is, but I was finally convinced to listen to it after my homegirl Tah couldn't stop telling me how hilarious it is last night. Now I'm pissed I tried to not listen to it because this is the best unintentional comedy moment of 2009! "Michael Michael Michael, you my nigga," will go down in the "Why Must I Cry Hall Of Fame!" Its an instant classic!
I got a few questions though...
Question 1: Why wasn't this played at the memorial service yesterday?? I would've much rather saw the kids singing this than We Are The World.
Question 2: Ron said, "I know you in heaven, I hope to see you next year," at 1:51 in so is he predicting his own death??
Question 3: How is he gonna join the Lakers and not put Kobe on this??
And in other Ron Artest news, the newest Laker is planning on rocking the #37 for L.A. next season in honor of Michael Jackson's Thriller which spent 37 weeks on top after its release in '82. The nigga obviously really liked Michael Jackson. I think he'll change his mind and wear #7 after he reads TMZ's theory on MJ and the #7.
Inspectah Deck - House Nigga (Joe Budden Diss)
Uh-oh! Inspectah Deck is taking up for Meth and bringing it right to Joe Budden's door step!
For some reason I decided not to write about the Method Man and Joe Budden feud (it was not really a beef), but mark this as the starting point to FiyahMuZik.com's coverage!
As far as the Deck diss goes, it started off pretty slow, but it really picked up at about 1 minute in after he did the "name 3 Joe Budden songs" line. After that point its was pretty much all flames. Joey is gonna have to come with it and not half-ass it like he did in the Saigon battle. I don't know what he's gonna say, but I'm hoping for something mean and vicious!
Question: Now that another member from Wu-Tang jumped in, is it fair for a member of Slaughterhouse to jump in??
Michael Jackson Continues Billboard Dominance, Sales 800k!
You thought MJ's reign ended after his memorial service yesterday?? Think again! The undisputed King will once again grab the Billboard charts by its throat and choke slam it to the mat.
Its the first full sales week since MJ's death on June 25th, he moved a total of 800,000 collective units, which is a 90% increase from the 422,000 he moved last week. About 656,000 of the 800k were actually physical CDs as retailers found time to re-stock their shelves. Number Ones will continue to be the top selling album in the U.S. as it moves 339,000 alone. Thriller is #2 with 187,000 sold over the past week.
Unfortunately, Billboard is still blackballing Michael's clear cut dominant with a stupid "cataloged album" rule so he won't be appearing on the Billboard 200 again this week so tomorrow I'll be covering with the Top Pop Catalog charts or the Top Comprehensive Albums chart. Fuck the Billboard 200!
Speaking of MJ and numbers, check out TMZ.com's #7 theory if you have a chance. I don't take much stock into it because it proves nothing, but it is pretty interesting.

How Homo Is This??
[Editor's Note: I've never seen this video before Monday.]
Wow. Just wow. Is this what's hot on the streets right now?? Are we in some kinda time warp or something because this is the EXACT opposite of how people dressed in the 90s. I thought I was watching a remake of Chappelle Show's Prince skit from season 2. On a homo scale of 1-10 (1 being Perez Hilton and 10 being B. Scott) the clothes worn in this video are a 12! Wild homo shit going down in the Bay. Again, wow.
Here's a suggestion to the misguided youth of today: If you have to sag your pants, not because they're too big, but because they are too tight to get past your man hips, you need not wear them.
Mark my word, dudes wearing skinny jeans WILL be the biggest fashion regret since the Hammer pants. Trust me, in 10 years these kids will be ashamed to show their kids photos of themselves wearing these denim Peter Pan tights.
DMX - Fuck You Bitch
Okay, I have 2 reaction to this track:
1) If this is an old unreleased throw-away track from 2000 (which it could be judging by the style of the beat), then this is acceptable.
2) If this is a new track DMX is planning on using on his come back effort, then the Dog needs to hang it up. He's all over the place on this shit so if this is what his rap career has come to then I hope this project never sees the light of day for his music legacy's sake.

Lloyd Banks - For The Moment
I'm loving this beat! That jazzy shit is the bizzomb son! lol. Seriously though, I really like this track but its a damn shame its such low quality. I mean damn, 50 not letting him record in the good studio anymore or something?? Banks needs to get that fixed if he's gonna keep dropping tracks frequently because right now his sound quality is on some Charles Hamilton shit.

Red Cafe - Heart & Soul (Prod. By Pete Rock)
I've heard this same sample used a few times now BUT I still like it. I'm not gonna front like I'm a huge Red Cafe fan and have heard all his music, but this is probably the best track I've heard from him. It was an overall good song. I just hope his album finally comes out.
