We’re still on our Ozone FLA Tour this weekend. We’ve been to Orlando to Miami to Daytona for the Black College Reunion, and tomorrow we’ll be in Pensacola for the Get ‘Em Magazine Awards.

You can check out pics from last night’s Rick Ross show here. From what I’ve heard Rick Ross put on a good show, but I wouldn’t know because I was working the whole night.

You can check pics from the Scrappy’s and Buck’s show dinner (them nuccas ain’t even perform) from Thursday in Orlando here.

I’m tired as fux, I’m running off of three hours of sleep right now and I’m feeling like I had a sip of Cam’s Snapple or something. I should prolly try to go out and party since I am at BCR but what’s the point, someone’s prolly just gonna get shot. I’d rather just get some sleep.

I think Drama’s gonna be aight. Peep his interview with Billboard Magazine where he finally speaks about his RIAA raid.

DJ Drama – Billboard Interview

New mixtape coming with Block & Boyz N Da Hood

It’s Gangsta Grillz you bastards!!!

I was having trouble deciding what direction I wanted to go for Flashback Friday. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do a Young Buck video since he dropped an album this week, or a Shyheim the Rugged Child video because I saw him perform at a club in Orlando last night (random), or a Trick Daddy video cause I’m headed to Miami today, or a Lost Boyz vid in remembrance of Freak Tah, who was killed eight years ago this week. But in the end I decided to go with Reggie Noble because I miss the true essence of hip-hop in the mainstream. Thank God for the internet.

Shout out to the boy Tarence Kinsey. The former South Carolina Gamecocks basketball standout is lighting it up in the NBA for the Memphis Grizzles right now as an undrafted rookie filling in for the injured Mike Miller. He’s averaging 19 points a game over his team’s last three contests, including a game where he outplayed Kobe Bryant and held Kobe to only 23 (and we all know Kobe has been dropping 50 lately like it’s nothing).

It’s kinda funny watching a kid that used to do the K-Wang at frat parties get buckets in the Association but it feels good to finally have a couple of Gamecock alums to cheer for out there. I don’t remember ever having a former Gamecock drop 20 in a game since I’ve been a NBA fan (or get playing time for that matter), shit, I missed that whole Alex English era.

It’s nice to see a Gamecock athlete (former or present) making headlines for something besides getting arrested. Go Cocks!!!

Riz, has the Rihanna track on his site. You can head over to The Rap Up and download it. I’m too lazy to upload sometimes. (I wonder how Beyonce feels about this).

I’m headed back to the Sunshine State and my favorite city of all cities in the country…the beautiful Miami (which is another reason my job is better than yours). I’m not sure exactly whats going on this weekend but I’m sure JB will keep us busy. I do know there’s an Ozone April issue release party with Rick Ross so that’s reason enough for you all to hate on me, and the Black College Reunion is poppin’ off in Daytona too. I’m sure I’ll be able to get some internet connectivity in our hotel but I’m not sure how much time I’ll have for blogging, so I might just have to catch ya’ll when I get back. If I don’t holla back tomorrow, I’m prolly somewhere sticking d**k in a dancer. Have a good weekend.

This is why Eve is relevant and Lauryn ain’t. Drop that album and quit playing, Eve.

Bonus Video: Kelly Rowland ft. Eve – “Like This”

Phonte of Little Brother is one of my favorite rappers in the game…one of my favorite singers, um, not so much. But he’s always entertaining.

Phonte – “Take On Me” (Wait a minute, where’s my Get Back T-Shirt Tiggalo?).

Oh yeah, Lil Wayne does his rude boy thang on Cham and Alicia’s “Ghetto Story”.

Lil Wayne – “Lil Wayne’s Story”

My dude from worldstarhiphop.com came through with some vids from John Brown and Paul Wall. While I can tolerate Paul Wall, somebody please get John Brown the fuck outta here.

John Brown – Dead Serious (Video)

Paul Wall – I’m Throwed (Video)

Update: Charlamagne Tha God takes a look back at the White Rapper Show in his latest Chin Check.

With all due respect to the ubiquitous R. Kelly and the drop-a-verse-for-everyday efforts of Weezy F., T-Pain has got to the the hottest cat in hip-hop/R&B music (nullus). Since the rappa ternt sanga fell in love wit’ a stripper, every time I turn on the radio there’s a new song featuring T-Pain. Here, I’ll list them for you:

Bow Wow ft. T-Pain – “Outta My System”

R. Kelly ft. T.I. & T-Pain – “I’ma Flirt (Remix)

Plies ft. T-Pain – “Shawty”

J-Shin ft. T-Pain – “Send Me An Email”

E-40 ft. T-Pain & Kandi – “U and Dat”

J-Bo (of the Youngbloodz) ft. T-Pain – “Studio 54″

And I didn’t even mention that his own single “Buy You A Drink” ft. Yung Joc is fuxing bananas and if it hasn’t broke in your city yet it will be played for the next 2 to 6 months so just get used to it. Who would have thought a dude that couldn’t make it rapping would be shutting shit down across the rap game. Especially coming from a dude that can’t sang worth a damn (deep down inside I know Nate Dogg is envious). I’m still convinced that I can sang better than the fella, especially if I get one of those vocal enhancers but T-Pain, I fuxs witcha (no homo). I slept on your first album but I will be coppin’ that new joint (damn, I never thought I’d be saying that).
