Gucci is still doing him and well if I might add. Check out the new video for “3rd Qtr” directed, in accordance with the rest of Gucci’s life, by Hood Affairs. On a side note, I can’t possibly be the only one excited about that Gucci Mane/Yo Gotti mixtape!

In his continued quest to bring the cool back to city, our boy Scottie Brix put together a little something to liven up Tuesday nights. This Tuesday’s special guest is true-school aficionado Peter Rosenburg, but look for the kid Treats to hold down the jammy jams.

Throughout Mexico, riot police are out in full force in attempts to prevent attacks against emo-kids. That’s right emo-kids. Punks, metal-heads, and various other sub-cultural groups have sparked a recent wave of violence against the kinder and more sensitive music scene. In response to the recent carnage, on Wednesday, “emos,” clad in tight jeans and signature black hair and makeup, marched in a demonstration in Mexico City.

Check out the Mass Appeal TV video on the right, for a preview of the issue 50 cover story, where, amongst other things, he talks to Lord SHR about why he wasn’t down with it.

Mass Appeal guilty pleasure Francis And The Lights will be getting it in, this very evening, at the Mercury Lounge. Fall through. You shan’t regret it.

This trailer for a supposed upcoming reality show about Sugar Bear has been making the rounds on the net. In all, it looks to be pretty much the same Suge you’ve come to know and detest, but how about my man that tells Suge that they’re cut from the same cloth. Really?

Poor little rich girl. Earlier today, Remy Ma was convicted on 4 of 9 charges regarding the shooting of “friend” Makeda Barnes Joseph outside of Pizza Bar. The thing is, Remy never claimed that she didn’t shoot her, she just said it was an “accident.” Here’s a thought: when you’re waving the burner in somebody’s face, there’s really only one kind of accident that can happen: somebody gets bucked!
