I have to admit that I haven’t been following this Miss Hip-Hop Beauty UK competition, but I might have to go ahead and vote for shorty on the strength of her choosing to do an interview with Royce as one of her tasks. This won’t be the most in-depth Hip-Hop interview you’ll ever see (Why are you here? How’d you come up with the name ‘Slaughterhouse’?) but it’s worth a look nonetheless.

Bonus: Check out some footage from Shanielle’s photo shoot after the jump.

Chapter 9, titled “Frenemies”, reverts back to Dipset drama, including Freaky Zeekey’s release from prison, Jim’s unexpected, brief alliance with 50 Cent (”The moves I make are the moves I make, whether n*ggas like it or not”), Dame’s thoughts on Jim and Cam’s ongoing estrangement and Jim’s final thoughts on the situation: “I always told Cam there’d be a separation; deep down inside, I’m just waiting for the get-back”.

Thanks to DrJays.com’s BossLady for the writeup of all the chapters .

Apparently we missed the clip they gave to ArtistDirect.

Haters: go thatta way.

Nicki Minaj feat. Lil Wayne – Go Hard (NoDJ) | Mediafire

Nicki Minaj feat. Lil Wayne – I Get Crazy (NoDJ)

Lil Wayne – In The Morning (NoDJ)

I’ve been saying it since it came out… Go Hard’s the standout track here.

I scroll past blends everyday, but when I actually I want one (a Go Hard mix with Ye+Jay+Wayne mix), why can’t I find it?

Props to Karen Civil & Jabari.

Elzhi – Deep (prod. Black Milk)

Previously: Elzhi – The World Is Yours (Snippet) | Elzhi – The Genesis (Snippet)

Warren G feat. Travis Barker & Black Nicc – Let’s Get High

If people offer me money, that makes me sick. I understand what you’re trying to do, but maybe you should feel someone out first before you’re just like ‘hey! are you completely corrupt?‘.. It would be the same, like I never cheated on a girl,well at least for me—mostly because of Jewish guilt—but I could not cheat on my girl or take money for a record.

Shouts to Zack.

Who knew Dame puffed? In this clip he calls up The Morning After with Angela Yee, YN and Danny Danko, Senior Cultivation Editor of High Times Magazine on and talks about his weed habit and history.
