West Coast Veteran Kokane recently dropped a bomb, more or less reprimanding his West Coast rap peers for their lack of individualism, kreativity and cojones.

Some kind of epidemic seems to have spread throughout the Golden State and all of its neighbors.

In effect, it’s developed somewhat of a “Twilight Zone” and Koka’s testimony is an attempt to bring the West back to its senses.

ATL, Cube and others check in for the visual.

Mo’nique took to the stage last night at the 82nd Academy Awards to accept a well earned award for her stellar performance in the breakout film Precious.

She thanked Tyler Perry and Oprah among others, appearing somewhat overwhelmed by the moment. However, she kept her customary kool, gracefully exiting stage right in front of a gracious crowd, save for Samuel L. Jackson.

The veteran actor, who has been critical of rappers and other entertainers who have made the transition to film, clapped but seemed to do so out of formality.

Peep the 1:46 mark to weigh in.

A couple months back we got work that Chilli and Floyd “Money” Mayweather were an item. Well, turns out he was one of a long list of candidates to win the award winning singer’s heart.

Chilli’s innermost desires will be on display next month when VH1 unveils “What Chilli Wants” – a reality television show aimed at finding love for the TLC founding member.

Based on this official trailer, she wants the whole kit and kaboodle. Missy Elliot tells her she should date Jesus or a disciple and others, such as T-Boz and her life coach, do more of the same.

Look forward to our exclusive sit down with Chilli where we will delve further into her fastidious ways. Until then, details on “What Chilli Wants” are forthcoming…

The buzz for Revenue Retrievin’ (Day Shift & Night Shift) is coming on hard and heavy in anticipation for a release later this month. It should stay that way as long as the Cashmere Agency has anything to do with it.

Here’s some exclusive footage from the Ambassador’s work place (that’s a studio… any studio) where he breaks down the science behind the album(s) and how he’s made it 22 years up in this.

Hard work, innovative spit and self editing. No computers. No blackberry notes. Just a pen, a pad and the microphone.

Real classical type shit right there!!

The results will be available in stores and online March 30th.

Despite what the GBC may think, DJ Khaled’s philosophies and trademark lexicon have seen him excel in the music industry to the point where he can boast about his achievements.

Instead of doing it all by himself (which he only does on stage at award shows anyway), he brought along Snoop Dogg, Rappin’ Rick Ross, Ludacris and T Pain to do the deed.

Unsurprisingly, Luda kills it, leaving particles of the track for the remaining emcees to do their respective thing(s) and Pain, well, he does what he does.

Hopefully we won’t have to hear it every five minutes on the radio this summer. Khaled’s Victory is available for purchase online and in stores across the country as of today.
