I missed Flashback Friday, so lets make this Flashback Friday Saturday (work with me here, people). It’s almost ‘08 but I’m still chillin’ like Souls of Mischief back in ‘93 til.

Stays in Vegas Will end up on the internet. I didn’t drop any posts on The Block yesterday, after over 12 hours of canceled flights, rebookings, layovers and a five hour flight, I’m in the Sin City for New Year’s. We almost didn’t make it but me and the Ozone crew finally touched down in Las Vegas last night. Ozone is presenting four parties in Vegas this weekend to kickoff the grand opening of Spin nightclub and last night Yung Joc jumped things off.

My dude Thaddeus came through and you can peep photos from Joc’s show on exclusiveaccess.net here. If you notice any pics of your boy R.E. looking unroyally, cut me some slack. First, my barber wasn’t around before I left ATL to get my weekly fresh cut. Then, Delta airlines still has our luggage only God knows where, so I was stuck wearing a random “flight outfit” to the club (one that I’m still wearing right now. Where the fux is my bag, Delta!). And then, since there’s a three hour time difference from ATL to Vegas, it may have only been 3 a.m. in the club here last night but back home it was 6 a.m., so I was tired as hell. But then again, I might have been looking crazy, but bitch, I’m in Vegas.

Anyways, I’ll try to recap my Vegas nights as much as possible while I’m here, but if for any reason I can’t update The Block, Happy New Year’s to all my Block readers and I’ll catch ya’ll nuccas in ‘08.

Random Weezy video…yeah, very random.

Bonus Track: Wale ft. Lil Wayne - Nike Boots (Remix)

We can’t bring in ‘08 without a 2007 Rap Up from Skillz…we just can’t.

Below, behind the scenes footage from the “2007 Rap Up” video shoot.

(Shouts out to eskay, who I pretty much swagger jacked this post from and hit up Riz for the 2002-2007 Rap Ups).

I think it’s the time of the year to crank those end of the year awards, and I’m going to start by listing my fav rap albums. I’m gonna go ahead and crown Graduation as the best album of the year. You can disagree if you want but it’s my favorite and you can catch the rest of my Top 10 after the jump.

I have to tip my Santa hat to David Banner. While most of you bum azz rappers waste money making it rain for dirty azz strippers, Banner (and JB), spent his Christmas passing out toys and money to families in Jackson, MS. For all successful rappers that didn’t give back to the community in any shape, form or fashion this holiday season, I hope your next album goes double wood. Matter of fact, kill yo self.

Bonus Video: Merry Christmas From T.I.

We interrupt your Christmas morning to announce that yesterday Jay-Z stepped down from his position as President of Def Jam Records. (Full story here).

Now back to opening gifts, making Xmas dinner, watching A Christmas Story, sending annoying azz “Merry Xmas” text messages or whatever the fux you were doing this Christmas.

I fuxs wit’ this joint.
