Soul Saturdays...
I know that Three6Mafia also sampled this for the track "Stay Fly," but i just like Theo's version better! Enjoy
Countdowns of 2010...
As most of you have already noticed the year is coming to an end and all your favorite music media sources are labeling down their top albums/artist of the year. I juss have one issue with all this, why are we including mixtapes in this content? Is it fair? Im saying this in the recent hype over Kanyes album which some considered a flop compared to his "Good Friday" tracks. I personally dont think that an artist album should b there best work. But we have seen that to be untrue in 2010. Whats your view on this subject? I will be following this with my top albums, artist and mixtapes of 2010.

LACOSTE X STONES THROW - LACOSTE LEGENDS / CHEVEL (MEN'S SNEAKER)
Stones Throw has teamed with iconic French sportswear brand Lacoste for a limited edition sneaker, a part of the Lacoste Legends series. Pre-order for the Lacoste/Stones Throw Chevel sneaker is available now. Expected ship date is December 13.
The story of Legends begins with René Lacoste. Reigning tennis champion of the 1920s known as ‘The Crocodile’ for his on-court tenacity, René was a true legend of his time. Famed for his sportsmanship, elegance and enduring sense of style, René went on to found the Lacoste brand that over 75 years later still bears the crocodile emblem.
Inspired by the legacy of René and the Lacoste tradition, the story lives on through the Legends footwear concept that unites 12 contemporaries to pay homage to the great man and the iconic L.12.12 Polo - Stones Throw, Sébastien Tellier, ato, Christophe Lemaire, Tim Hamilton, Sneaker Freaker, i-D, Bodega, D-Mop, and Colette.
Materials & Design: Stones Throw's sneaker is full grain leather upper with textile detailing - a tongue crafted from petit piqué cotton, incorporating a woven Lacoste-branded tab finished with a mother-of-pearl button, referencing the intricate detailing found on the L.12.12 Polo. Designed by Peanut Butter Wolf.

Backstage with 9th Wonder - No. 2 from LRG on Vimeo.
Black History and Hip Hop academia, do you think it’s important to fuse those two? We don’t know about you, but hip hop aficionado 9th Wonder seems to think so. In this second installment of our backstage pass video series with 9th Wonder, sit back and listen as 9th sheds some light on Black History and Reaganomics. Listen as 9th exposes the corrupt New York city school system for pulling the funding out of arts programs and investing in dogs to deter graffiti artists from painting trains. Do you know the significance of April 4th 1968 or March 9th 1997? We here at LRG, advise you to sit back and take notes because knowledge is power people! - LRG

Alicia Keys Gives Birth To Son Egypt
Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz are celebrating the birth of their first child, a son called Egypt Daoud Dean.
Alicia Keys has given birth to her first child, a baby boy called Egypt.
The 'Empire State of Mind' singer and her husband Swizz Beatz were celebrating the safe arrival of their first child together, Egypt Daoud Dean on Thursday (14.10.10).
Their spokesperson confirmed: "Swizz 'Kaseem Dean' Beatz, 32, and Alicia Keys, 29, joyfully welcomed their first child together, a son Egypt Daoud Dean on October 14 on New York City. Egypt is welcomed by Beatz's three other children."
The couple - who wed on the French island of Corsica in a romantic and intimate ceremony this summer - are delighted at the latest addition to their brood.
Shortly after Alicia gave birth, Swizz tweeted: "I'm so thankful for everything I been blessed with in my life wowwwwww! (sic)"
Egypt will be a younger brother to the rapper's sons Prince Nasir Dean, Kaseem Dean Jr. and daughter Nicole, from previous relationships.
Prince Nasir was his father's best man during his recent wedding, and handed over the rings to his dad and new stepmother. via Contactmusic.com

T.I. sentenced to 11 months for violating parole!!
The rapper T.I., arrested on drug possession last month in Los Angeles, is headed back to jail. A federal judge today sentenced the Grammy-winning hip-hop star to an 11-month prison sentence in Atlanta today. The arrest was a violation of T.I.’s parole; he was previously arrested in 2007 for trying to purchase illegal firearms and served jail time. The news comes at a bad time career-wise for the rapper. He had been working on a much-anticipated album called “King Uncaged” and recently scored a hit with the film “Takers,” which he starred in and produced.
Well i guess the so called "rescue" he pulled a day before his sentence didnt really matter much... def #schoolofhardknocks for the MC. smh

I find out the day before the album is supposed to drop that it got pushed back to the 19th? Do I win some kind of prize for having the latest release date change ever or what?

Mos Def Signs With Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music
Kanye West has expanded his roster again, and like the most recent addition to his G.O.O.D. Music label, Pusha T, the new signing is another familiar face: seasoned hip-hop favorite Mos Def.
The Brooklyn MC and West talk about the deal and break down their musical relationship in the October issue of XXL, which comes out on Tuesday and features a Kanye cover story. And Mos Def makes an appearance on West's G.O.O.D. Friday single "Lord, Lord, Lord," along with Swizz Beatz, Raekwon and singer Charlie Wilson. Mos' decision to join G.O.O.D. Music follows the release of his last album, The Ecstatic, on indie label Downtown Records in 2009.
The rapper/actor and Kanye first collaborated on the Chicago MC's College Dropout, for "Two Words," and then again on "Drunk and Hot Girls" from Graduation. On "Lord, Lord, Lord," Mos Def opens the slow-moving track.
"Cool ruler standing still, sweatin' through the shade," Mos says. "He knew those lights only grew bright to fade/ Dead-wrong pageantry, lottery and games/ Sleight of hand provided by extravagant and fake."
With the signing of Mos Def, West continues his movement, pulling in MCs — often with a devoted following outside the mainstream — who come ready to break down creative barriers. Back in July, Pusha wouldn't confirm or deny that he'd signed with G.O.O.D: "I mean, you know. I been to Hawaii. Hawaii is a nice place. Good music is made down there, ya know. So, yeah, I was there. I can't say too much about that."
Of course, that's no longer a mystery. Pusha confirmed to MTV News at this year's VMAs that he was onboard with Kanye. The only question remaining is who else will be popping up on the bubbling label.
What do you think of Kanye bringing Mos Def into his G.O.O.D. Music fold? Tell us in the comments! via MTV.com

BREAKING NEWS: Lyfe Jennings Sentenced to Three and Half Years in Prison
R&B singer Life Jennings was sentenced to three and a half years behind bars today (Sept 22) in an Atlanta court for a 2008 indictment.
“This will be my last post” Jennings wrote yesterday on his Twitter. “To everyone who gave me a chance I am forever in your debt. I have had a fabulous career because of you. All I can say in parting is that I have been honest with [ya\'ll]. I didn’t sugarcoat a word didn’t hold back a single [syllable] of my life from [ya\'ll]. I’ve lived a hundred lives in these 6 yrs so I not only won’t,I don’t have the right to complain. I would like to think that I’ve changed lives by changing my own, tho[ugh] I can’t be sure. But one thing I am sure of is God gives and takes away in measure. He is fair, just and forever. Amen from a man… Smile, its contageous:)”
In October 2008, the “Statistics” singer got into a heated confrontation with ex-girlfriend and mother of his children Joy Pound. Jennings reportedly kicked in the door of a house in Smyrna, Georgia, belonging to Jeff Kendrick, then fired rounds from a .40 caliber glock in the street according to police.
Jennings then fled the scene in his 2005 Corvette and according to his warrant allegedly refused to stop for officers when given audible and visual signs to do so. Driving in excess of 70 miles per hour, Jennings was eventually stopped and refused to take a sobriety test.
Booked at Cobb County Jail, the singer was charged with DUI test refusal, criminal trespassing, discharging a weapon near a street, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and fleeing or attempting to elude a police offer.
After being freed on$50,000 bond, Jennings released his fourth studio project 'I Still Believe,' August 31, 2010, the follow-up to his 2008's 'Lyfe Change.' The album is said to be his final offering.
The 13-disc track is what Lyfe considers a reflection of his “greatness.” Despite the personal and public trials in his life, Lyfe Jennings still believes in this love. “I keep a lot going on. It’s tragic; I think I have a horribly charmed life. But I think God puts me through stuff and keeps me there so I can talk about it.”
He carries these experiences into the album. “[The album] is about all kinds of relationships,” says Lyfe. “How we try to hold on sometimes for the sake of holding on. But, in reality, no matter how many breakups turn into make-ups, sooner or later we realize that this person is who they are and we need to let go. No grudges, no regrets. Just realization. Just acceptance. Just life.”
Jennings will hit the road in support of his reported final album, 'I Still Believe,' playing in clubs in major markets throughout the nation this fall.
Jeff Johnson from BET spoke on his behalf as a character witness during sentencing. No word on when he will begin serving the time.
