Only Rappers would get asked to sign books that are completely unrelated to them. Judging by the confusion as to the meaning of ‘Off That’, Beck & O’Reilly didn’t pick up Blueprint 3. “Peace, Bill. Off that.” Via Gawker Sphere: Related Content

KRS-One & Buckshot – The Way I Live (ft.Mary J. Blige) (prod.Black Milk).

This wouldn’t be such a surprising combination in 1995, when Smif N Wessun kicked verses over Mary’s “I Love You”. But this is definitely a little surprisingly in ’09.

Marco Polo & Torae – Double Barrel (ft. DJ Revolution), Video.

The video for Double Barrel’s title track looks like a thugged out Gap commercial. Either Torae or Marco must have an eye for editing because this, the “Party Crashers” video, and even the Double Barrel Training videos were on point. Makes me wonder why other indie artists’ videos suck so..
