She recently spoke to the homie Joe La Puma for this month’s Complex cover story, and touched on the topics of Lil Wayne, T.I and DMX:

Complex: Exactly. Would you say that he’s your type?
Katy Perry: Oh God, I don’t have a type. I guess one thing that’s the same with all of the men I’ve dated is that they’re all communicators and they’re all sensitive. I have a soft spot for musicians, a guy who can write a song or say how he feels and put it into a song, and is super poetic. Travis is really good at that, and he’s just so good at lyrics that I think that’s ultimately why I was so attracted to him. But I definitely do not have a type. You know, he’s artistic and he has that natural swagger. When he puts his hat on, that’s how he puts his hat on. He doesn’t stand in the mirror for like three hours, he just puts it on. So that’s sexy.
Complex: What about a rapper-ternt-rocker like Lil Wayne?
Katy Perry: That might be too grindhouse for me. I think T.I.’s really cute, though. I like the guys that have this face about them, which is like…you know, adorable, and cute, and almost looks like a baby pit bull. A little pit bull is so cute, and all rappers love little pit bulls. They have to have two or three.
Complex: Or 10 if you’re DMX.
Katy Perry: He doesn’t have dogs anymore now. He’s not allowed to. Busted!

Stan goes in over the beat to OC’s “Jewelz”:

I gave you both a shout out in the first verse for supporting me, but also threw a direct jab at Dante Ross for talking shit about me on dontgetgassed.com, which I thought was a weird move coming from a hip hop legend I always admired. Since when is it bad to make a diss song about someone you are competing with in hip hop? I don’t talk shit. I put all my thoughts on wax. To me, that’s a hip hop move. Pardon me, I’ve been going in lately, and I’m not gonna stop. People might not want to admit it, but they know I’m nice. That’s what this song is about. This is not on The Young Professional. Peace, ip.

Rocksmith x Black Star… Blacksmith? Nah right.

Rocksmith x Black Star Collaborative Tees for May 30th Concert:

Rocksmith will release two t-shirts to commemorate the highly anticipated on-stage return of Black Star, the legendary duo of Mos Def and Talib Kweli on May 30th. The two designs will be available during the Black Star show at Nokia Theater in NYC. The Black Star concert, presented by Blacksmith and LiveNDirect, will consist of an early and late show on one day only.

I’m a Black Star stan but I’m not gonna be in N.Y. this weekend to see this. Hopefully they will have another show like this if they can get along (no shots!!!). Someone needs to get footage of “Respiration”, and “Thieves In The Night” if they do it, and send it in. I’ve seen Talib perform maybe 3 times already but never seen Mos. He’s finally coming to town in August I believe so that should be a treat. Where the fuck is that album!??

The artwork reveals the re-release’s subtitle, Paper Trail: Case Closed.

Final, mastered version with an extra 15sec/adlibs.
