SPIN has also posted a preview of the cover story in which Writer Jonah Weiner takes a pilgrimage to Em’s old house at 19946 Dresden Street and speaks to the rapper about why he too frequently visists locations from his past.

Ross and Jeezy will be beefing withing a week or so. Yesterday during his promotional conference call somebody asked Jeezy whether or not his version of “B.M.F.” with Meech was a shot at The Cop and he made a point of not denying that it was, so yeah. Jeezy better watch it or he’s gonna risk coming off like a clown though. Yeah, you got the real Meech on your shit, but Ross has the hotter song, which is all people care about at the end of the day.

LOL, this nigga. And say word that’s the Bambu shirt they advertise on the package.

Curren$y’s Pilot Talk is out today.
