Shake’s other stomping ground just put up a video for the lost intro off Rick Ross’ Deeper Than Rap album. I’m with the general population in that this should have been included on the LP.

This premiered over at the plantation yesterday and I decided to give it some burn there before posting. Off that Ridin High LP that everyone should have.

Murs and Roxy Reynolds get together for yet another video off Murs for President. They went through the good, the bad, and now the aftermath sets in. Despite the subject matter of this video, I know Murs had a good time filming it. Exhibit A anyone? How about Exhibit B? Rewatching all three, I really dig this little series. Great stuff Mr. Carter. Great stuff. Shouts to HipHopDX on the premiere (again).

HipHopDX recently caught up with MF DOOM to talk on a few things. From his impostor shows character direction, retirement of the DOOM character, how homo Batman is, masculinity bitchy-ness in hip hop, his family, upcoming projects (Ghostface, Madlib, etc) and more. Great interview.

DX: What’s the status of the album with Ghost?
DOOM: Now that this one is out the way, progress will be picking up. It’s about 40% done. Forty-two percent done, if I had to say. But then it’s hard to gauge because everything is speeding up now, so it could probably be done real fast, within two months I could have it done. Madvillain seems like it’s closer to being done. I’m working on the shit now. That shit’ll be done within the next two months. I don’t know when they gonna put it out. Otis [Madlib] is the producer, so I don’t really have to do too much. I think on this record, we’re mixing it up. I’ll have more production on this one.
