Yesterday (9/3) was Friday, which means it was the day Kanye West gave out another free tune.  This time, it was the song “Devil In A New Dress.”  Check it out above, and while you’re listening, read all of the crazy tweets Kanye blasted out this morning (9/4).  We’re not sure what exactly is fueling the manic messaging, but dude talks about everything from his displeasure of the media, to his love for country music.  He even apologizes to Taylor Swift.  Something’s not right here.

B.o.B. released his newest video today, which is for the track “Magic” that’s currently be worked at radio.  The tune features Weezer frontman, Rivers Cuomo who as you are about to learn, is not the best dancer in the world… or even, the best hand waiver.  Dude looks a little uncomfortable in this video, a feeling we bet a lot of B.o.B.’s earlier fans are sharing right about now.  After establishing quite a bit of cred in the hip hop world, we’re not sure Bobby Ray is gonna get any love from the hood with this sugary single.

Last night, Eminem and Jay-Z kicked off their string of shows in Em’s hometown of Detroit.  Obviously Em had some tricks up his sleeve as he brought Drake out for the song “Forever.”  Have a look above as the crowd goes ballistic.

You had to figure Drake owed Marshall one since the roles were reversed last month in Toronto.  As for Jay, is it safe to say that he’s gonna bring out Alicia Keys in New York?  Just sayin’.

Uh-oh.  Although T.I. has only been out of prison for a matter of months, it looks like he may end up going back in.  Early this morning, the rapper and his new wife, Tameka Cottle were pulled over in West Hollywood when cops smelled marijuana coming from their vehicle.  The officers on the scene not only found the marijuana but also arrested the couple on 4 counts of possession of a controlled substance.  Bail was set at $10,000 each which has been paid at this point.  Can’t wait to hear how he handles the press with this one.

UPDATE: Now sources are saying they found ecstasy.  This could get ugly.

Black Rob Claims He’s Cool With Diddy

Last week we showed you the video of Black Rob trash talking Diddy, saying how the mogul took advantage of him and never helped him when he was in a struggle.  Well now the rapper has a new video circulating the web which says he no longer has any issues with Puffy.  Apparently that video was at least a month and a half old and between now and then, they worked everything out. 

Rob says he was “dealing with emotions” when he made that first video.  Seems to us like he might have just come to his senses about reality in this industry.
