Listen, cause I know how New York be, yall niggas be like The Apollo, yall niggas is a hard crowd to please b… don’t have me on stage looking fucking stupid b…

More footage from the Nokia Theatre is show on its way.

Here’s Angela’s rundown of the events:

I had the great opportunity to sit down with Shallah Raekwon to discuss his “Only Built for Cuban Links II” album and we got into everything… and then some. The extremely entertaining interview is below, and it gets even crazier when Felicia “Snoop” Pearson from HBO’s “The Wire” joins in the conversation. So get ready for Rae’s candid opinions on RZA, the “8 Diagrams” album, some classic moments in Wu history, his feelings on homosexuality, and the Wu mansion. Oh, and best believe he still plans to release that Shaolin vs Wu-Tang album!

Listen here.

They also discuss the Joe Budden/Method Man beef, as well as RZA taking advantage of the situation (financially.) Salutes to TeamYee, you can read a couple choice quotes over there.

“I’m drinking with Jesus, whooo!”

via MTV:

Today, we bring you the debut of a new viral video by Tony Yayo called “Streets Keep Calling Me.” The clip features fellow Queens giant Cormega and is off Yayo’s Public Enemies mixtape.

“The Internet is everything for me,” Yayo said about putting out music and accompanying visuals on the Web. His videos, like the one for “Candy Man,” have been viewed millions of times on ThisIs50.com. “Fif is a smart dude. He has the power to see stuff ahead of time. So it’s like, I’m seeing how hard he’s going with the Internet — MTV.com and all these other dot-coms, that’s poppin’ right now. It’s the plateau to get yourself out. Before, artists had to pay to get the music out. This is my plateau right now, so I’m going hard.”

Public Enemies is Yayo’s third mixtape in just a few months. “The way we had it in ’03, 04, I’ll never forget that the mixtapes made who we are,” Tony explained. “I feel like a whole new artist. I feel like I’m starting all over again. The mixtapes were crazy. I’m still in the ‘hood with it.

“It’s just everything you’re doing yourself,” he added about the difference between making his own mixtapes and working on G-Unit projects. “When you got perfectionists like Eminem, Lloyd Banks, 50 Cent and [Dr.] Dre in the studio, you learn a lot from them. I seen 50 say lines 20 times over. The same line. He learned that from Dre and Eminem. I feel the pressure of them still being there. I want the mixtapes to come out right, and I want 50 to be impressed, as well as Banks. It’s the same kinda feeling, just a little more pressure, ’cause you wanna make sure everything is good.”
