Behind the scenes from the video shoot for the first single off Stat Quo’s Statlanta, in stores on May 4th.

The new Gasface video recounting the story of PowerPlay Studios and how Rakim and EPMD had their masters held hostage:

This one takes place where Rakim recorded the whole Paid in Full LP, where Nas did the first of It Ain’t Hard to Tell’s many versions… Fat Joe, LL Cool J, Mobb Deep, Run-DMC, BDP, Biggie, and Jay-Z also laid classic verses here.

This studio was called Power Play until it was sold in 98. In Ya Ear is the new moniker, Joell Ortiz, Cory Gunz and Cormega are some of the regular customers… Rob and Ax, the new bosses, shares thoughts on the vast legacy of this joint.

Greatest moments include the (long) making of The Big Picture, Big L’s posthumous album, by his friend and mentor Lord Finesse.

Baddest moments ? Power Play was sold for a reason : the old owner was fed up with rappers and labels not paying their studio time. That’s why he kept each and every reel until somebody paid the bills. That’s why Rob and Ax ended up with dozens of masters from Finesse, EPMD, Rakim, etc.

I’m sure you’ve started guessing : the treasure was sitting here, and… something bad happened. In a New York Minute.

Marvin tells BET that Interscope dropped him two years after his first album and he’s considering the independent route for his follow-up.

But he says he won’t consider signing with the top independent, KOCH E1, which 50 infamously told Cam’ron was a “graveyard” in 2007.

This will be featured on Smiley’s single also featuring “Think First” which is produced by Lord Finesse and “Pass The Death Age,” produced by Chaze. His project Antidote Part 2 drops in May.

At Cool & Dre’s Lake Oasis studio in Miami, Fat Joe gets Clipse on the phone and plays a preview of a track he did with them. Scoop Deville stops by afterwards.

It’s been said before but I’ll say it again, Fat Joe’s ear for beats>>

I only worry that he won’t clear all these samples. That killed the best tracks on his last album:
