MTV blasts Gucci Mane’s last interview before being hauled off to jail for a year for violating the terms of his probation stemming from a previous assault conviction. Since his release in 2006 Gucci Mane has completed no more than 25 of his 600 hours of community service. Mind you that Gucci barely got off an unrelated murder charge when he shot and killed rapper Henry Lee Clark III (Pookie Loc) in 2005. The charge was dropped as the grand jury in the case ruled the shooting was in self-defense.

What’s the lesson here?
Don’t push your luck.

Run-D.M.C., Metallica nominated for Rock Hall

CLEVELAND (AP) — Run-D.M.C. could “Walk This Way” into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The 1980s rap act, along with Metallica and the Stooges are among the nine nominees for next year’s hall of fame class, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation announced Monday.

The other nominees are guitarist Jeff Beck, singer Wanda Jackson, Little Anthony and the Imperials, War, Bobby Womack, and disco and R&B group Chic, the only nominee back from last year’s ballot.

The five leading vote-getters will be announced in January and inducted April 4, 2009, in Cleveland.

The ceremony typically has been held in New York but is returning to Cleveland after more than a decade-long absence. Tickets will be made available to the public for the first time.

Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five opened the door for rap at the Rock Hall as the first hip-hop act to be inducted in 2007. Now, Run-D.M.C., nominated in the first year of its eligibility, has the chance to follow on the strength of rock and rap blends such as the 1986 cover of Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way” and classics like “It’s Tricky” and “My Adidas.” …

We loves us some Odd Squad/Coffee Brovaz/Odd squad over here at buhbOmp and we wanted to share the love with you.

Kanye Fett

So Kayne’s released a mastered version of Love Lockdown, a song that I took as a cry for help from Young Yeezy. As it turns out, his VMA performance of the emo-diocre song must have prompted millions of Becky’s to break out the Visa’s because Love Lockdown is the #1 song download in both the Zune marketplace and iTunes… Finally something that Mac and PC users can agree on.

Top Songs downloaded from iTunes

1. Love Lockdown – Kanye West
2. So What – P!nk
3. Whatever You Like – T.I.
4. Love Story – Taylor Swift
5. Hot N Cold – Katy Perry
6. Disturbia – Rihanna
7. Paper Planes – M.I.A.
8. Crush – David Archuleta
9. I’m Yours – Jason Mraz
10. American Boy (featuring Kanye West) – Estelle

Sidebar: There must be some sort of strange synergy between the artists on the iTunes top downloaded songs list, because whenever they collab, vomit happens. But I’ll get to that later…

Here’s the live version of Love Lockdown from Mtv’s 2008 VMA’s that has the Becky’s dripping in their A&F panties.

…as instrumentals!!!

I’m not sure why no one thought of this before, especially when UBB was far more relevant in hip-hop and every dj and their mama wanted instrumental copies of all the classic breaks. 20 years plus after their initial release, El Michels Affair comes through with expert remakes.

Wilson Pickett or El Michels Affair? You be the judge:

Now if they can only remake Take me to the Madri Gras without the bells and smarmy organ leads…

You can pick up the UBB instrumentals here.

I didn’t want to sully the sanctity last blog post with anything unrelated to my mid-life crisis, but I just had to post another MeLo-X related download. Skimming over the MeLo-X blog, I stumpled upon this gem, The way I see it Remix Ep produced by none other than MeLo-X.

Raphael Saadiq x Melo-X(?)

Although, it could use a considerable amount more Saadiq, you still need to download this.

I suppose it’s my middle aged crisis creeping in early, but I sorely miss the times when I was a heartbroken simp over some new faceless, nameless girl that is now more of a idea than a real actual person. Somehow this song reminds me of those youthful, innocent times before the true weight and burdens of adult life took their toll on my hairline.

MeLo-X (above) pays invokes the spirit of the late, great J. Dilla with “And I know (Treat her right)”. Peep game @ 320Kbps.

King Most X Obama

Big up to the dude King Most for blessing the intrawebs with an uplifting mix celebrating the historic nomination, campaign and eventual swearing in of the next president of the United States, Barack Obama. Enough of my thoughts, here’s what King Most had to say about the mix himself:

KING MOST – THE OBAMIX

The intent of this mix was to try and capture what WE’VE all been feeling these past months: hope, struggle, and the importance of facing a challenge. It also serves as a reminder, and perhaps an introduction to what OUR candidate is all about. With that being said enjoy, register, & get involved

History, Change, & Victory In November
