Gucci Mane Talks Working With Usher For The 3rd Time from LowKey on Vimeo.

Lowkey posted this latest clip from that my sit-down with Gucci Mane, over at his BET Soundoff blog. In it, Gucci reveals that “Spotlight” is in fact, not his first collabo with Usher, it’s his third. He was the original rapper on “Love in the Club.”
(so what was the 2nd?)

By the way, thank you to a lot of youse.

Bdot/RR went to Best Buy in Union Square to see the Doctor and Jimmy Iovine promote their latest Beats by Dre hardware, and I believe Diplo, David Guetta and the Monster Cable suits were on hand too. Sadly, Bdot reports that Iovine blocked Dre from answering any 50 vs Game questions, but that’s not surprising. They were there to shill, lol.

Rihanna called into the Bert Show in Atlanta and discussed her ex, Chris Brown, and shuts down the rumors that she’s dating CB-look-a-like (sort of), actor Tristan Wilds (aka the pup on “The Wire”)…(spotted on TMZ via Ill)

Rihanna on Atlanta radio (The Bert Show)

Interviewers: Do you still miss Chris?

Rihanna: Um, sometimes. Actually yes. There are alot of reminders, alot of hotel rooms, alot of places that we’ve been to together, music, different things that come up that are reminders of your ex….I’ve gotten over it, but there’s definitely constant reminders. Alot of it is listening to the radio, songs that come on, that were our favorite songs or his songs.

Interviewers: Is there any truth to the stories that you’re dating Tristan Wilds [The Wire]?

Rihanna: I don’t even have his number…I had a house party, this is funny, you know how a bunch of people come over that you don’t even know. And he came by, which was fun for me, I appreciated the company and he brought a bunch of friends….but I dont even have his number, so I dont know how I can be dating him.

Interviewers: Are you even open to dating right now?

Rihanna: Um, no. I’m a very flirty girl though…

Exclusive Preview “Food For Thought: Conversations With 50 Cent” from LowKey on Vimeo.

I’m looking forward to the 2nd installment of BET’s interview series “Food for Thought,” this time pairing 50 Cent with Angie Martinez, Harry Allen and Stephen A. Smith. The show airs tonite at 7:30pm, but along with 50’s much ballyhooed comment about “Mr. Knowles,” in this clip we see Fif telling Angie what songs he wished were his over the years….2 of them, I get. The last one? LOL. (thnx to Lowkey)

I like The Game, he’s a talented lyricist, and very personable, friendly, animated, and at times, hilarious on Twitter. But at the same time, I take everything he says with a massive silo of salt, because 1) its liable to change before you’re done transcribing the quote, and 2) Game is skilled at retro-fitting reality to fit his theories. That said, the homie Joe LaPuma had an interesting chat with Game about his upcoming R.E.D. album, and, of course, 50 50 50.

Read Joe’s entire interview over at Complex, here are a few excerpts.

Complex: So working with Dre again, it seemed to piss 50 off a little bit…
Game: That made 50 mad, man.

Complex: Do you think it was a jealousy thing?
Game: 50’s just bitter, man. For what reason? I don’t know. He doesn’t have to be. Me and his beef is old at this point. It’s pure comedy for me at this point…. Nobody is going to kill each other. Nobody is gonna beat each other’s ass. I’m not gonna do none of that. So we might as well get along. We exist in hip-hop. You know with opening arms he can re-join my band of brothers. Just say sorry and you want to make music. He’ll never be as big as he was and he’ll never be able to put out an album that people will be waiting for and anticipate as much without me, period. And I ain’t saying that he needs me, but me and him made the best records together. [Note: how many records was that? Don't most fans think GRODT was Fif's best work?] I understand it, he needs to understand it, and maybe one day we’ll record. He said recently in an interview that he’ll never work with Game again but that’s all him talking and his ego. I can’t wait to mend the ties with Eminem…That’s his artist and his homie and what not, and I understood it but I’d love to get back with Eminem and work again and sort of restructure the Voltron if you will. [Wait, did all three ever work together?]

Broadway/Thisis50 just posted footage of Beanie Sigel in the studio and transcribed these lines that Sigel spit…again towards Jay-Z.

“You in the hall already/on the wall already./ Youse a work of art/man, this boy all petty./Type to not feed no workers/cuz he grubbed already./Noodles, I had the sauce we coulda made spaghetti./ But i’m a shine on my own/ i’m a star already./Lost the best of both worlds/he coulda called R Kelly.”

Related: Dame Dash tells Mixtape Monster that he’s “surprised” by the position that Beanie took.

Now this is amazing…well maybe it’d be less so if you weren’t an avid fan of The Wire, one of the most underappreciated unrewarded shows ever (along with Arrested Development, and maybe The Corner, and Deadwood….and Cheaters ; ). But as a fan, this totally makes me want to rewatch the series. Thanks to Illionaire/UHTN for sending over the link.

Note: I wish I had a combination Snoop x Buboy in my life.

Bonus: I noticed that the same youtube-er created a montages of great movie lines that weren’t included in the official AFI compilations….also endlessly entertaining. I might have picks different quotes, but still good stuff…after the jump…
