We may not know who the man who laid hands on Nicki was or how it all went down, but we know one thing: Nicki ‘s not being honest. According to TMZ , not only does the police report confirm that Nicki did in fact get swung on in Dallas, it also confirms that Scaff Beezy did the swinging. TMZ broke the story … Nicki and Samuels were arguing at a hotel pool in Dallas Monday night and took it upstairs to the room. According to the police report, Nicki followed Samuels up to the room they were sharing, to make sure he didn’t take any of her stuff. Nicki was in the room looking into her suitcase, which had some of Samuels’ belongings, when she says he “grabbed the suitcase and as he was picking it up, he shoved the suitcase across [Nicki’s] chin and lower lip.” The police report goes on: “[Nicki’s] teeth struck the inside of her lower lip, causing the inside of the lower lip to cut and start to bleed.” According to the report, a paramedic arrived on scene, but Nicki decided she didn’t want to press charges so the case was closed. SMH. Sometimes, you’re better off just not saying anything than lying to accuse someone else of making sh*t up. Flip through to check out the police report.
If you’re like us, you were probably disappointed about the wackness that is Lil Wayne’s latest mixtape release Sorry 4 The Wait . So we decided to take it back to the good ole days to remind you why the “F” in Weezy F. Baby stands for “phenomenal” (get your boy). They Still Like Me Probably one of the most classic of mixtapes, Dedication 2 showed that Weezy was destined for greatness and yes while even covering a song by Dem Franchize Boyz. Sky’s The Limit One of the hottest songs off the Drought 3. Period. Best Of Me Frestyle A throwback from Squad Up 4 over the Jay Z and Mya hit. P*ssy, Money, Weed Wayne shares his favorite 3 things over Outkast’s “Jazzy Belle”, from The Carter III Sessions. Ok so we knocked Wayne’s newest tape but we did like at least one song from it… Gucci, Gucci So what do you think? What’s your favorite Weezy joint?
We thought we’d roll into the weekend with one of our new favorite singers out, Frank Ocean . You’ve probably already acquainted yourself with his latest mixtape Nostalgia/Ultra and heard all the buzz of him appearing on Kanye West and Jay Z’s new album, Watch The Throne. There’s also been talk of a feature on Nas’s new project. But because we’re so nice, we’re providing 5 more songs from Mr. Ocean that you may have not have heard yet. So get familiar. You’re welcome. Frank Ocean’s latest leak, we are loving this joint. Anywhere Theses next songs are off his first project when he went by the name, “Lonny Breaux”. Acura Integurl Broken Pieces Taste The last joint, is one of the standout songs off his latest mixtape. And one of our favorites. We All Try
John West – Right Now Whenever a new artist gets signed to a label and we love the first single, we always hold our breath for single number two. Because it could go either way. In this case, we’re still loving John West. (Shout out to Vibe.com on premiering this joint) DJ Khaled ft. Fabolous, Mary J. Blige & Jadakiss – It Aint Over Til It’s Over Khaled brought back the Mary J. Blige we LOVE on this joint. The “P.S.K. What Does It Mean?” sample with Fabolous and Jadakiss patterning their delivery after the original solidify this joint as a summer classic. Remember we said that when your local radio station starts playing this joint 15 times a day. Bertell – Simply Beautiful Newcomer Bertell takes a crack at remaking this often sampled Al Green classic. And the young man does Reverend Al proud. If you’re a Mary J. Blige fan, you’ll remember it as the foundation of her song “PMS” from the “No More Drama” album. If you’re a fan of the magic that Kanye West and Talib Kweli make together, than you’ll remember the sample from “Good To You” off of the “Quality” album. Ladies, click here , watch Bertell, pretend he’s singing to you. Wale – That Way feat. Jeremih & Rick Ross This song just hit the radio in some markets, even though it’s been online for about a month now. But we felt it necessary to tell Wale that THIS is what he needs to do more of. Y’all pass the word along, please. Tabi Bonney – Parachute Here’s another example of those easy rap joints you can just throw in a playlist and bump effortlessly. The kinda song that just blends into whatever you’re doing… but in a good way.
