The latest installment of the Bangers & Cash leak features Amanda Blank -the first announced nominee in the 2007 Criminal Slang Awards, “Baddest Bitch”, category for her clear views on sexuality.

“I fuck to bust nuts, fuck a man’s respect“

If a couple of Pandas in Thailand would cosign that, then the zookeepers wouldn’t have to resort to Panda porn.  Get, get that download while you can.

***ON BLAST PREVIEW***

Who’s watching the velvet rope these days? Someone must have had to take a leak, because how the fuck is Ja Rule creepin’ back up to the bar after gettin’ 86′d years ago?

“He’s never had a fraction of the sales 50 Cent has,” Fif said. “They could have only one scan and have it count four times. West’s entire career hasn’t sold half what I sold on my first album.”

It’s official, 50 got bodied by Kanye 600k to 430k. The G-Unit General himself couldn’t dip a plaque in gold his first week out -capping off a series of forgettable releases (ex. the only Lloyd worth mentioning in the past year doesn’t wear a G-Unit pendant). In an ironic, Kanye-esque fashion, Mr. 9 Shots is disputing the figures.

Where the f—k was Kenny Chesney at? Dude was allover Billboard Magazine last week, with shoutouts from his people at ASCAP etc. Maybe his people should have spent less time courting the industry and more time with HOV on 106 & Park (which was equal parts tight and awkward btw).

Regardless, the real winner is #1 with a full-clip -Universal Music Group. Looks like they took a page from US Foreign Policy circa 1980.

If you slept on Dinner with the Bride, redeem yo’self with the latest from Heartfood -Strobelights Make Me Dizzy-

New Jordan/SB consignments, new deliveries from Hellz Bellz (feat. Kate Moss), Diamond x Vehicle & Staple

also, a new XIII Artist Series shirt -featuring the work of Danny Estrada is right around the corner.

Criminal Slang was bad since the day it is was born.

Spank Rock is killin’ the game right now with his original style -a symbolic foam middle finger to the pseudo-intellectual haters. The media has been quick to draw comparisons to another Philly native (Schooly D), and to exhault him as the sound of the future after the revolution. I’ll tone down the nut-swinging a bit and just agree that dude and his people (which includes Diplo, Low Budget, Amanda Blank, MIA) are just doing them (what a concept!) and a growing number of (open minded) people are feeling it.

In the spirit of trying out something new, get yourself ready for Bangers and Cash -a team-up with Benny Blanco (a Disco D protege, so you know it’s drippin’ sex) that waxes explicit with 2 Live Crew sampled tracks and Spank’s rapido delivery -the soundtrack for sweaty club night hendoism and empty wallets in the champagne room.

There’s going to be a five-week consecutive Myspace leak of new tracks off of Bangers & Cash -available for download for two days at a time.

Check the drop dates:
September 6: “Shake That”
Septmber 13: “BOOTAY”
September 20: “Loose”
September 27: “Bitch”
October 3: “Loose” Video

Download: Shake That

And if you’re in LA, he’ll also be holding down Sur Central later this month. Update to follow.

”It’s funny how with every record that comes out, we’re aware of the urban [competition], and none of those acts acknowledge that I exist,” Chesney tells Entertainment Weekly via email.

”Until I have that No. 1 debut on the Top 200.” –pause for emphasis–

Translation: This cracker’s (no racial) coming out the box on top (nullus squared).

50 claims he’ll retire if Kanye outsells him If that’s the case, sign me up for a case of Graduation, and I’ll pre-order MCAT, LSAT, GMAT -or whatever higher education themed record Kanye puts out next. It’s not like Curtis needs the money anyway, and maybe with him out of rotation XXL wil run an Amanda Blank cover.

I’ll dare be the one to say this chick is saving hip-hop with that educated pussy. She’ll be in South Central LA on September 29th -more on that later.

In the latest issue of Vapors Magazine (the fuckin’ sneaker issue no less), Store 13 is featured as a haute (say hoe with a t) spot!

If that wasn’t enough, the ubiquitous XIII and ultra-rare Jenaveve Jolie (read: sorry kids, sold out) t-shirts got some shine as well. Stop by and give your boys a pound if your in town. A new program of artist collab shirts and other new product is about to hit the shelves real soon, stay up on the drop date right here.
