Above, Nicki talks about how Young Money would always try to get her to drink on the tour bus (gee… I wonder why, smh). It took Drake to drop $100 for her to finally take a shot (or three). Then after the jump Fest talks about how his live show was killing Tribe’s…

Fresh of the release of Super Senior, K. Sparks is back at it with a new project with Pajozo. They’ve got a project entitled Soul Food dropping later this month. This track however will not be featured on it. Also… fans of Mr. Sparks can expect him to be providing some heat for our 2nd official mixtape, A (2)Dope Mixtape: Empire State Edition, dropping at the top of the year.

Mr. Cox links up with Officer Ricky for a track about grinding all day and all night. Pretty sure this will be on Bleek’s upcoming album, The Process. And is it just me or does it sound like there’s an open verse at the end of this? *shrugs… shouts to Splash.

This Monday 11/9/09 Mr. Peter Parker is presenting a tribute to one of the greatest emcees of all time. “Happy Birthday Big Pun” The Re-Mix tape showcases Pun classics remixed with all original production from up and coming producers like DJ Pain 1, JJ Brown, Rhaki Beats, and more. This is a must have mixtape for any Big Pun fan showcasing an artist who’s legacy in Hiphop music will never be forgotten..How Hard do You Hustle?

I’ll be completely honest when I say I’m definitely not a fan of these types of projects. I always feel the classic material from our fallen legends should be left how it was. There’s a reason they are called classic records, etc. With that said, I’m hoping for the best and will be listening this Monday.
