Canibus & DZK – Eminem Diss

Well this came out of nowhere. I’ve got a few questions (as I’m sure some/most of you do as well)…
- What made Canibus come with another diss track… now?
- What the fuck is a DZK?
- And who honestly cares what dude has to say?
- What’s with the random D12 verses being added?
- Do you think Em is likely to respond?

Jay-Z x Alicia Keys x Eminem x 50 Cent Live at the AMAs (Video)
No… I didn’t watch this “award” show. Why bother sitting around a TV when the performances and highlights would be on the internet within minutes? Anyways… check as Hov and Ms. Keys perform the number one record in the country. (Sidebar: It’s hilarious how Hov can take the W by just stating an old lyric during an acceptance speech. Where you at Curtis?) And just below Eminem & 50 Cent perform Crack A Bottle and Forever.
And if you’d like you can hit the jump for more performance clips from the likes of Shakira, Black Eyed Peas, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Mary J Blige, Jennifer Lopez and more…

Open The Box (Trailer)
Courtesy of Nice Kicks:
“Open The Box” follows and documents just what the subtitle indicates: sneaker culture in Germany. The above video is a trailer and the full documentary is expected to release sometime next year. We’ve see documentaries on sneakerheads before, but this promises to follow an entirely different culture, where runners are prized and Jordans are not the hands-down preference of collectors. Be sure to watch the video, and cross your fingers for an English-subtitled version.
Maybe I should get back into the sneaker game… Meh, too many elitist douchebags polluting it up nowadays.

Shake’s Sunday Soothing Session (Take 36)

Man I’m never gonna get this back on schedule. No matter if I have the post ready or not, somehow it takes me hours to click publish haha. Atleast it’s still on Sunday again. And this week I’ve got new/unreleased music from J. Holiday, LeToya, Jennifer Lopez, Brandy, Alicia Keys, Toni Braxton, Young Steff, etc. And I guess since the Ne-Yo leaks were a bit light the past few weeks, it’s time for a flood. Sweet…

Beanie Sigel – How I Can Kill Jigga Man [CDQ]
Judging by the comments on the radio rip post, the general consensus is that Beans takes another L. And that this song shouldn’t have been made. Either way… I’ve gotta provide ya’ll with the CDQ. And if you check the above clip you’ll see Beans in the studio with Free. I really hope he doesn’t engage in this bullshit as well.
