Maceo’s back, and he’s back with a vengeance. While other rappers that have been out of the game for a minute will come back with some obscure mixtape with little to no promotion, Maceo is pulling out all the stops for his latest mixtape release, Mexico City. Mexico City is scheduled to drop November 24th, and he doesn’t stop with just the mixtape. The rapper, best known for his 2006 anthem, “Ho Sit Down” is releasing a short film to go along with the mixtape, which both feature appearances from fellow Mexican, Future, Young Scooter, Slick Pulla and more.

Asher Roth Signs with Def Jam… Are White Rappers Trending?

1

A Twitter conversation between music journalist, Elliott Wilson and Def Jam’s Shawn Pecas revealed that Asher Roth has signed to Def Jam. Although he is still working  under the Universal tent, the question arises – how will the legenadary hip hop label affect Asher’s mainstream output? With the rise of Yelaowlf and Mac Miller, it seems that Def Jam wanted their slice of the wonder bread as well.  Asher is known as perhaps the most lyrical white rapper opposite Eminem but lacks the appeal that most fans want (tattoos, black boy/white boy image etc..). His last hit “I Love College” was a world wide smash but turned him into somewhat of a one hit wonder.   The Pennsylvanian emcee will also release a new album in 2012 whereas his Pabst and Jazz project will hit iTunes on December 21.  Lets see what happens from here.

Hot New Music! Dolla Boy- Controlled Substance

0

Playaz Circle has been somewhat of a oval lately wtih 1/2 of the group, 2 Chainz, becoming the hottest rapper in the streets, while the other 1/2, Dolla is becoming the hottest hustler in the streets. Dolla just dropped his newest mixtape Controlled Substance in early November. After a listen and a glimpse of his latest videos, its evident that just because you aren’t on TV, doesn’t mean you’re broke and that’s definitely the case for this College Park Hustler. Dolla’s lyrics revolve around hustling, women and money.  All of which are a part of his every day life, so it’s a breath of fresh air to hear some truth put into his rhymes. Controlled Substance has production and features from some of the hottest in Atlanta. In terms of his trailer videos, they’re epic. Take a look.

Maison Martin Margiela metallic "sci-fi" sneaker

There was once a time when I preferred silver jewelry over gold. And after taking one look at these Maison Martin Margiela “sci fi” metallic sneakers, I have once again found the silver lining around my heart. Make no mistake, it would def take a brave soul and a special occasion to wear these. But given the right accessories, the look can be pulled off nicely!

New Music: Young Jeezy ft. Jay-Z and Andre 3000 “I Do”

0

Young Jeezy’s “I Do”  was already leaked in early 2011 complete with the usual funeral-worth verse Andre 3000. As of early November, a surprise verse from Jay-Z was added to the song. Knowing Hov, he’s probably been listening to the song all year and felt it was too hot to leave alone.  This could be a sign that Jeezy’s TM 103 , dropping in December, is so good that legends can’t say no to being featured on the most anticipated album in hip hop. Check it out below.

Police Accuse A New York City Man of Plotting to Make A Bomb for Terror Purposes

0

A New York City man was charged last night by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office of plotting to make a bomb for the purpose of killing government employees and military soldiers returning home for the holidays according to a statement released by Mayor Michael Bloomberg last night at a 7:30pm press conference.

Police describe suspect Jose Pimentel as a “Lone Wolfe” who is acting on his own and not a part of any terror network as someone who was disappointed with the American policies abroad as it related to the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. According to the police affidavit, Pimentel was busted in a Harlem, New York apartment finishing the final stages of constructing a pipe bomb from a recipe he got off the Internet.While the story of anyone plotting to cause havac in a city that has already been the victim of terrorism comes as a complete shock to many however there are some questioning the way Mayor Bloomberg made the announcement by calling a press conference on a Sunday night leading up to the holiday season was just motivated by some of the negative publicity the city has seen for the “Occupy Wall Street” movement. Suspicions were even more greater because of the non involvement by federal law enforcement.

It appears the Adventures of B.O.B. seem to have time for the hungry and homeless. The Decatur, GA resident made his way to the  Atlanta based headquarters of  Hosea Feed The Hungry to donate 10,000 dollars of his hard earned money. This is just an example of the the often over looked power of hip hop artist and their relationship with their community. V-103 the people’s station was on hand as B.O.B. made a difference in his hometown.

Power of that P!! Paula Patton Covers Complex Magazine

1

Paula Patton, actress and hubby to R&B crooner, Robin Thicke teamed up with the folks over at Complex Magazine for their December2011/January 2012 issue. Patton is co-starring alongside Tom Cruise in the upcoming Mission: Impossible 4 and she dishes on how it felt to play a gun-toting action hero. “Making Mission: Impossible was a dream come true. It challenged me as an actor because it’s so technical. Any time you’re challenged you get better. I learned so much from working with Tom Cruise—it was remarkable. Also, I got to do my own stunts, and that felt more freeing than anything I’ve ever done. To be able to be that physical was exciting” said Paula about her role in the upcoming film.

Patton also talks about everything else from mommyhood to wearing skimpy clothes. Not to mention, the issue features some pretty sexy pics of the gorgeous actress. Issue on stands now.
