Visuals of this…
Up top Curtis talks about Ricky Ross, Joe Budden x Tahiry and Vivica Fox. Then after the jump he talks about the state of G-Unit, Kanye West, Hov, Beanie Sigel, Lil Wayne, Perez Hilton, and more. UPDATE: And the whoremotion tour continues. I’ve also included Fif’s interview with Tavis Smiley after the jump as well.

Aubrey speaks with MTV about the Drakeberry incident that went down back in April.

“I’ll never forget the night, man, when I went up to Hot 97, and it wasn’t scheduled,” Drake explained. “It wasn’t like, you know, ‘Drake’s coming up here Tuesday.’ It was literally like, ‘Funk Flex wants to meet you,’ and bam, like, two seconds later, it was like, ‘Let’s go on the radio and just kill New York.’ I’ll never forget how nervous I was. It was such a rookie hip-hop moment — and, obviously, the controversy of me pulling out my phone and rapping off my phone because I just wasn’t prepared. A lot of people don’t know the difference between freestyle or off the top and coming to a radio show knowing you got to go there, so you got verses cued up in your head, whether they be off your upcoming album or verses just that you have laying around. A lot of artists get that preparation time.”

Drake said the moment was an important steppingstone.

“That moment, just as far as hip-hop, as far as MCing goes, that moment was one of those … it was just, ‘Whoa! I’m really here and I got to get better. I got get to be better than this. I can never be caught off guard again,’ ” Drake said. “That was probably one of the most interesting moments of my life this year. I’m a writer, man. I appreciate the elements of hip-hop. I appreciate a guy like Common who goes city to city and just spits at the crowd for 10 minutes about everything he sees. I admire talent like that, because that’s just not my creative process. So, you know, as far as moments this year go, though, I’ve had amazing stories. I don’t want to tell them all in interviews, because then Thank Me Later will just be empty, so I think I’m going to tell them in this album as vivid as I possibly can.”

When he’s not on a quest to make the “best record In hip hop history” (haha… pardon me I had to laugh at that) Fat Joe chops it up with Angie Martinez about J.O.S.E. 2, Drake being the hottest rapper in the game, making a song that will make the world stop, and more. Hit the jump for the rest…

In yet another hilarious interview, Curtis talks with Angie Martinez about Kanye & Lady Gaga’s “gay tour”, how Jay-Z is the coolest punk, smashing Kim Kardashian (kidding, sort of), how he thinks Eminem isn’t happy with the features on Forever, how his career hasn’t peaked just yet, Lil Wayne and more. Shouts to RR on the rip.

It’s definitely not as bad as the title suggests, but there’s really no other way to put it. During his time on Hot97 with Angie Martinez, Ghost speaks on the lawsuit he had to place in RZA’s hands over some family business. Everything is all good though. Shouts to RR on the rip. Suuuuuuuuu!

Diddy talks with DJ Absolute about his new Dirty Money project, his new distribution deal (not really), and about Shyne (1:40 mark) and his upcoming release from prison. Ya’ll think Diddy is gonna look out for him next month? Or act like nothing happened 8 years ago?

Jay-Z called into Hot97 from across seas to chop it up with Angie Martinez about his second week sales, his MSG performance, Lil Mama and more . And since it’s a Hov post… hit the jump for the goods.

I would never do that, I would never have the nerve to do that.. I thought it was the equivalant to what Kanye did to Taylor Swift, but nobody really talked about that cuz I’m not a little sweet girl from Middle America… We worked really hard… It took weeks to make that performance happen. If you look at those screens, we had to go to Yankee Stadium. We did rehersals, run-throughs… I was a little angry, yeah. But what I’ma do, fight Lil Mama?
