In celebration of Def Jam’s quarter century in the music business, XXL has selected a handful of the label’s roster, past and present, to grace the cover of the November issue.

XXL’s new issue will include memorable tales from the MCs about the famed label, along with a complete discography of Def Jam releases and a comprehensive timeline of the brand’s biggest moments. Behind the scenes masterminds, Russell Simmons, Lyor Cohen and Kevin Liles sit for the first time to share their memories and Rick Rubin also takes a look back at the legacy of Def Jam.

I figure since I’m about to be MIA for a good 3 hours… I’d leave ya’ll with some high quality scans of Tahiry’s KING Magazine spread. Aka… no two page cut and paste scans, no distracting text, etc. I also included some (disappointing) shots from Keyshia’s spread. Enjoy…

With a new album on the way, the former Princess of the Roc seems to be making her rounds. From causing a scene with Flo Rida to posing in magazines. When I posted the record, the c-boys came out to admire Teairra’s music looks. So I’m sure folks will enjoy this one. Hit the jump for the goods…

Click each image (except the last) for a larger version. I’ve gotta ask, how do these shots hold up against Ashanti & Jesikah Maximus‘ spreads? Also, I was gonna add Teraji P. Henson’s spread to this post but it far too comic book’ish for my likings. Either way shouts to CC!

Its 4am, I just finished the 2nd season of Entourage (which sparked tomorrow/tonight’s Saturday Night Sexy mind you) and I’m just not tired. So what better way to expend some energy than putting up a post on Melyssa’s KING magazine spread? I don’t care that she hasn’t done a video in three years, she’s still killing 90% of the video vixens in the game now. And I already know 95% of ya’ll aren’t even reading what I say right now and went right to the jump. Ha…

Am I lying? Click each image for the full size. Huge shouts to BJS!

Back when I posted the Playboy cover with Aubrey O’day on it I hinted towards Ms. Milian gracing the cover of KING. Here’s the full spread for ya’ll (esp Splash & Vex) enjoyment. Hit the jump…

The talented(less) femcee(’s body) graces is on the cover of the latest SMOOTH Magazine. Ol(d) girl is the definition of butterface, no? Anyways… someone might appreciate these so here you go. Just know:

Miss Rabbit’s photo shoot >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jacki-O’s.

If you watched the third season of Heroes I’m pretty sure you noticed the chick (Maya) that had the horrible script and odd power. I only watched the first few episodes, the latest being when her and Mohinder we’re getting it on. After that? Nah… I stopped watching. Maya in real life, Dania Ramirez, has taken her look and went the Maxim road (latest issue with Hillary Duff on the cover to be exact). Hit the jump for more…

Is the Monday morning already eating at you and the thought of yet another full week of work/school ahead doing absolutely nothing for your hangover? Let Ms. Maximus help. Sidebar: How come every time I fly I always have either a flight crew that resembles the Golden Girls or a group of gay men? *shrugs, hit the jump for the goods…

As usual, props to CC. Click each image for a larger version. And I’ll have to agree with the majority of comments in the fact that KING royally fucked up letting Milani Rose beat out Jesikah for Web Girl of the Year.

Ozone Magazine catches up with Lil Wayne in the studio to talk about the election, his son, Ozone Mag and his rock star status.

Actress Reagan Gomez Preston graces the cover of the upcoming issue of KING Magazine. T.I. serves as the guest editor. Which is fitting as Ms. Gomez was in his Whatever U Like music video. Hit the jump and enjoy (especially the BACKSHOT).
