Juelz?

Joe Budden – Hottest In The Hood Freestyle

Props to Shake.

From all firsthand accounts, the 1997 party was legendary. Everyone danced the night away and popped bottles. Big’s “Hypnotize” spun incessantly. No one had any idea that tragedy awaited them. Footage of the party has recently surfaced on the Net, and true to the stories from 12 years ago, heavy revelry abounds.

More than seven minutes from an amateur recording of the party show highlights such as Puff Daddy dancing to “All About the Benjamins” surrounded by a circle of women, along with various crowd shots of stars such as Missy Elliott, Irv Gotti, DJ Klark Kent, DJ Clue, Chris Tucker and Ginuwine. The party spinner, identified as DJ Ace, shouts out people such as Da Brat, Aaliyah and Jermaine Dupri. A note at the bottom of the screen said Biggie himself refused to be videotaped.

While the party was in L.A., the time on the tape seems to be in Eastern Time. Big left the party at 12:30 a.m. and was pronounced dead at 1:15 a.m., but the video has everyone partying at 1:30 a.m. The party was actually shut down before that because it was too crowded.

“Rest In Peace to Tupac” – Ed Lover @ 5:58min

Whoever put this together analyzed the tape like he was the FBI, even caught a glimpse of Chris Tucker walking around.

Now, on a new song that leaked to the Web on Friday afternoon (March 20), Wayne is taking another stab at 50. This time the lyrical dig is more blatant than the one on “Louisianimal.”

The song in question is called “Let’s Talk Money,” by the late Pimp C and featuring Lil Wayne and a sampled T-Pain chorus. A few bars into his verse following Pimp’s, Wayne speaks about advice he got from the controversially outspoken half of UGK, who passed away in 2007. “That n—a Pimp called me before he left this b—h/ Told me keep doin’ ya thing and don’t tell 50 sh–.”

(While UGK’s final album, 4 Life, is slated for release at the end of this month, “Let’s Talk Money” is billed as a solo Pimp C track.)

Actually we leaked it last night, but still.

9th Wonder talks to DJ Jelly about his background, history, teaching a hip hop class, upcoming projects and more.
