Let me get this straight. Cam gets shot in D.C. A couple of months later he disses Jay-Z and insinuates that he may have been responsible for the shooting. Now, he announces that he has violated his probation and has to serve 30 days in jail. His album and movie are scheduled for release sometime in early 2006. Do the math.

I’ma do the right thing though, take Shock anyway/
6 months right back on the damn block anyway…

I suppose this is from the same Shade45 session where Kay debuted the two dis tracks. I don’t know because I haven’t listened to it yet. To be perfectly honest I just wanted an excuse to post that picture.

AZ – 50 Cent Dis

Remember a couple of months ago when 50 spit that line at AZ on that inconsequential song on that already forgotten G-Unit mixtape? I believe it went something like: "What if I put out bullshit joints like AZ." As if 50 has ever made a song in his life that could touch an AZ joint. Well I knew Sosa wasn’t gonna let that ride and he didn’t let me down. He doesn’t get around to mentioning ape boy until about halfway through the song, but then he spits a few nice bars at him:

That had to be the shortest Editor-in-Chief tenure in history. It now appears to be official, The Source Board of Directors have finally removed Dave Mays and Benzino from their positions. I for one am looking forward to purchasing my first copy of the magazine in about 5 years.  UPDATE: It’s starting already…

That’s the cover of the new False Profit mixtape, Crucified for the Hood. Yep, that’s really the title. Whatever. All I know is, song number 7 is called Going Back to Harlem. Yeah right Betha, I’d like to see that.

Saigon Stabbed in Attempted Robbery

Wednesday, January 18th, 2006

Damn, your boy Saigon went and got himself poked up something serious. It was probably some disgruntled Southern hip hop aficionado. Hiphopgame.com spoke to him and has posted an exclusive breakdown of the events from the man himself:

"I was at 23rd and 9th Street, that’s where everybody goes after the club," Saigon told HipHopGame.com. "I’m out there with me and my man. My man is 135 lbs. soaking wet. I have an $18,000 chain on. I guess someone thought I was food. They were probably scheming the whole time. I didn’t even realize it. One of them asked my man if he sold weed. My man was like, “Nah.” We were with these girls. One of the kids walked up to me. I thought he was a fan. He snatched the chain right off my neck. I took it right back from him and my man knocked him out. My man dropped him. We’re stomping this nigga out thinking he’s crazy that he’s going to come and snatch my chain.

We didn’t know he was with somebody else. His homeboy came behind me and stabbed me in my temple. I lost a lot of blood. When he stabbed me, I started fighting the nigga but I was losing a lot of blood. I faked a jack like I had a ratchet on me. I didn’t have no burner. I was like, “Hit the nigga, hit the nigga.” They started running. Me and my nigga were standing there and they ran. I had my chain and both of their cell phones. They dropped their cell phones when they started running. I’m out there like, “Yeah nigga!” but at the same time I’m losing a lot of blood.

Damn homey! Of course like I said this is coming from Sai’s own mouth so he may have embellished the facts a little, but it’s still a crazy story nonetheless. You’re definitley gonna want to go read the rest, trust me. I almost fell over when this nigga said he hailed a cab because he didn’t want to mess up his whip with blood. In all seriousness though, I’m glad dude is aight because getting stabbed in the temple ain’t no joke. Me and Saigon have a love/hate relatonship, but he needs to drop his album before he even thinks about dying on us.

Cam Finally Disses Hov

Damn, a nigga takes an hour off to watch Lost and all hell breaks loose. Killa has finally come out his face with the dis track everybody’s been anticipating since he left the Roc. Understand that when I say finally, I mean finally like it took him long enough, not like I wanted him to dis Jay. But awwh man, who am I kidding, I wanted to hear this as much as anyone. In his usual fashion, Mr. Giles pulls no punches in this one, which you can probably gather when you peep the name of the mp3. The line I found most interesting though was when Cam talks shit before he starts spitting and says something along the lines of "I saw them niggas throw that diamond up before them shots were fired." What’s that about? For some reason he also seems pissed that Jay likes to where open toed sandals? Did you hear that? It was like a flushing sound…I think it was Juelz career going down the toilet. Props to Will for scooping me on this one too, I see you!

Cam’ron – You Got It (Jay-Z dis)

*UPDATE – Second track – Cam’s version of the I’m Not a Writer I’m a Biter and the Jeezy version of the new XXL cover

Lord Finesse On The Underground Railroad

Wednesday, January 18th, 2006

 

Jay Smooth over at Hiphopmusic.com has posted some great flicks and 2 hours of audio of a recent visit by the legendary Lord Finesse to WBAI’s Underground Railroad show. There goes my Wednesday night. Anybody who knows me knows Finesse is one of my all time favorite M.C.’s and he holds a permanent spot on my top 5 dead or alive list. Alot of you youngin’s are probably wondering what I’m talking about and who this old man is. What can I tell you other than, put down that Jeezy CD and step your rap game up.

Game DVD Will In Fact Be Released, Maybe

Wednesday, January 18th, 2006

After endless speculation and reports that the Stop Snitching – Stop Lying DVD had been suppressed by the G-Unit/Interscope machine, it now appears that the DVD is in fact shipping and some customers have indeed already received it. Allegedly. I mean who the hell knows anymore, all I know is that sure looks like a shot of the actual DVD up there.

From ShadyBlock.com:

Dont Believe The Hype – Customers Receive Stop Snitchin Dvd

01/18/2006 10:27 AM
ShadyBlock.com: All previous statements made about the Dvd have been inaccurate, regardless of the sources. The LA Times, SOHH all mislead us into believing the Stop Snitchin Dvd would not be released.

Well, they were wrong. People who chose Amazon.com to order the Dvd from, will not have to even wait until the 24th to see if its released. The copies are currently being shipped out, and some have even been recieved.

Dave Mays, Source Editor-in-Chief ?

Somebody has to help me out with this one, because this just doesn’t make any damn sense. Didn’t this guy just narrowly escape getting thrown out of the building on his ass? (Of course when I say "building" I mean it figuratively considering the Source now holds the title of The World’s First Homeless Magazine). Now, AHH reports that Mays has fired Dasun Allah and assumed the EIC position himself? How is that even possible? Wow what’s next, Benzino: Chief Brand Executive? Oh wait…
