Back in May,
I posted a teaser for Fabolous' "Tonight/Love Come Down" music video featuring Red Cafe. The songs are from his "There is No Competition 2" mixtape (free download). The songs are from the rapper's
"There is No Competition 2" mixtape (
free download). The second track is his take on the Dirty Money's "Love Come Down," featuring a Diddy sample.
Aasim has released a new freestyle for download,
"On My Queens S*** (Freestyle)". You can listen to it below, as well.
The last that we heard,
Dirty Money's "Last Train to Paris" was due for a September 20 release date. That is no longer the case. In the clip below, Diddy
announces his August/September cover feature in Vibe, and notes that the album will be released in October. He declined to provide a specific date.
"Yeah, I know I've been saying a lot of dates, so I'm not even going to tell y'all the exact date," he said. "But, at least know the month. The month is October."
Vibe has
posted some snippets from their interview with Diddy for the
cover story in their August/September issue. One of the questions, deals with Martin Bashir's questioning of him during
his June appearance on ABC's "Nightline." This was his answer:
There were times in the interview when I had to give him an ultimatum. The questions weren�t being handled the right way. In hindsight, when I saw him I shouldn�t had done the interview because I know the style of interview that he does . . . The whole thing about giving a Maybach to my son, that�s really like a racist question. You don�t ask White people what they buy their kids. And they buy �em Porsches and convertible Bentleys and it ain�t no question. It�s really a racist question and put things back in perspective with money and the way that people still look at you. And I�m not saying that consciously he�s a racist. But he probably don�t even realize that he would not ask Steve Jobs that. He would be like Steve Jobs has that money and that�s the gift his kid is supposed to get.
The
big announcement that Diddy hinted at yesterday, in regard to his
guest editor stint at Vibe.com today, is that
he'll cover the August/September issue of Vibe Magazine, alongside Dirty Money, Cassie, Janelle Monae, Red Cafe and Rick Ross. Here's a clip of Diddy talking about the cover:

As
I mentioned yesterday, Diddy is today's guest editor on
Vibe.com. There is a special section for his contributions at
vibe.com/diddytakeover with the first being about
10 memorable Biggie lines.
BBC Radio's 6 Music News has a short feature on Janelle Monae that includes some brief interview snippets with the singer. Check it out below.
According to
his Twitter, Diddy will be the guest editor of the day on
Vibe Magazine's website on Wednesday. He promises a "huge surprise."
Janelle Monae has digitally released a compilation of "Tightrope" remixes on
Beatport, to be followed by an August 3
relaese on Amazon.com. Titled, "Tightrope (The Remixes)," the 10 track release will feature remixes from Robbie Rivera, DJ Goodwill, Paul Harris and 10 Rapid. It will also feature the
Wondamix with B.o.B and Lupe Fiasco and an acapella of the original cut.
If you can wait a week or so, the
Amazon.com release will likely be priced much lower than the $24.90 full package price on Beatport.
You can listen to some
long snippets on Beatport and Robbie Rivera and 10 Rapid have both posted mixes available online for a full, free listen. Check out these tracks below.
