Three/21 Media Takes you Behind the Scenes at The One Video by Slaughterhouse. The One, which was shot last week, is the first video and single for Slaughterhouse’s upcoming E1 Music debut album. The whole video takes place in the penthouse of the Night Hotel, where Slaughterhouse delivers some serious bars.
IKeepsIt100 chops it up with Statik Selektah, as he goes on to answer 21 Questions. Mobb Deep or CNN? MPC or ASR-10? 978 or 718? Press play to watch what Statik Selektah answered to each of these questions.
DJ Snips of All Elements got some footage of the Hip Hop Legends show that went down at BB Kings. Consider this lineup: Blackmoon, Smif-N-Wessun, KRS-1, Inspectah Deck, Raekwon, Busta Rhymes, Nice and Smooth, Das Efx. That’s a true hip hop fan’s dream. No Lil Wayne, no Soulja Boy, but still a packed house. No hate, I’m just saying!!
Drake performs Every Girl and Uptown (With Bun B) at Bun B’s Friends Concert at Warehouse in Houston. Is there any doubt as to just how big his first album is going to be? Drake has been taken under the wings of what seems to be every hip hop and r&b heavyweight right now.
Well, Drake went ahead and released the final cover for Best I Ever Had after deciding against a more abstract rendition for the hip hop song. Best I Ever Had is doing some serious damage on the charts, as Drake has the third best single on iTunes at the moment between two B.E.P. (Black Eyed Peas) songs.
Nickelus F checks in to let you know that he is pushing back his Portishead Remixes Album, R.A.R.E. to June 26, 2009 in order to touch up a few things. To make up for the delay, Nickelus F drops a freestyle on video. Get familiar with the name, Nickelus F…. he’s a hip hop artist’s hip hop artist. Believe that.
Inspectah Deck speaks on the Joe Budden situation, and lets it be known that when you beef with one member of Wu-Tang, you’re beefing with all of them. Inspectah Deck also speaks on his artist Fes Taylor, the making of Triumph, and its video shoot. He also speaks on the worldwide/global nature of Wu-Tang’s fanbase, and that while Joe Budden has been growing a huge fanbase on the internet, he doesn’t have the legacy, domestic or international, that Inspectah Deck and the Wu-Tang have. I’m not sure if this beef will continue to spawn, but if it does, maybe Joe Budden is secretly trying to bring the Wu-Tang Clan back into the limelight? I don’t know about you, but a hip hop music scene dominated by Slaughterhouse and Wu-Tang really does not sound too bad.
