Video: Game Disses G-Unit Again

Game takes aim at G-Unit, referencing Terminate on Sight’s pathetic Soundscan figures. Game is like that old girlfriend that just never lets go. As soon as it seems like everyone has moved on, kapow! Ex-girl shows up again.

Newsletter Happy Hour

Last month, I called for newsletter sign-ups. Many of you responded kindly, and I’ve been thinking of ways to thank you since then. If you’re a current TRU Newsletter subscriber, I have good news for you.

To show my appreciation for your subscription, I’ll send you a little token of gratitude which I will not disclose here. So, if you’re already on my list you don’t really have to do anything. Just sit back and keep an eye open for an email from yours truly. Your gift will arrive within the next 1 hour (12 midnight CT).

Oh, if you’re not a subscriber and would like to receive the small token, it’s not too late. Sign up between now and midnight and the gift is all yours. Enjoy!

UPDATE: Signed, Sealed, and Delivered. Thanks!

Fabolous and His Son


I doubt anyone even knew about Fabolous and his son. [via: BlackCelebKids]


Word has it that he’s been with his baby’s mom (above) since 2005.

Now there’s one person who knows exactly how to keep his personal life closely guarded. Young Jeezy could learn from this guy.

Nas is No.1

nas untitled

As rightly predicted, Nas’ latest album arrived at the No.1 spot on the Billboard 200.

From Billboard:

One rapper replaces another atop The Billboard 200 this week, as Nas’ untitled Def Jam album dethrones Lil Wayne’s Cash Money/Universal set “Tha Carter III.” Nas’ album sold 187,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, becoming the rapper’s fifth No. 1 here.

Nas’ prior album, 2006’s “Hip-Hop Is Dead,” also debuted at No. 1 but sold 354,000 over Christmas week. Meanwhile, after three non-consecutive weeks at No. 1, “Tha Carter III” slips to No. 2 with a 15% sales decrease to 105,000.

Congrats, Esco. Enjoy it it for six days.

Video: Khia - “Be Your Lady”

This song actually had some potential, but Trina Khia just had to go and ruin it by shooting the video in her kitchen. This is possibly the sloppiest editing I’ve seen in a music video ever. I’m posting for the sheer hilarity of it.
