Everyone loves to hear this story over and over again dont be? Jay-Z breaks down how he writes, or doesnt write, his lyrics.

MTV caught up with Drake to discuss his collaboration with Jay-Z on Dreezy’s upcoming debut LP.

Here’s a video of Stat Quo and Busta Rhymes working in the studio. Bussa Buss goes off on his different nicknames and they joke around a bit. Kinda funny. Stat Quo’s album is in stores May 4th. The name of it is Statlanta.

Max B was granted an appeal yesterday for his guilty conviction of a robbery gone bad which resulted in fatality. Max has new legal representation according to his manager Jolie O’Shay. The 2006 robbery, which occurred at a Fort Lee, New Jersey hotel, also involved his then girlfriend, Gina Conway, who was sentenced to 15 years in prison for her role. His stepbrother Kelvin Leerdamn received life in prison with an additional 35 years.

Max is serving a 75 year sentence for his role in the robbery gone bad. Before being sentenced, he was signed to a three year deal with Amalgam Digital in 2008 and was also affiliated with the Diplomats and co-wrote several songs which included “We Fly High” by Jim Jones.

This eleven minute video portrays how the media literally destroyed DMX and his career. Don’t get it twisted; X played a part in that. But the media went too far and exposed too much. X goes off in a prayer-like way  fixated on the industry. The video starts off with a snippet from “Lord Give Me a Sign”. Fire back with your thoughts. Some of the shit in this is righteously fucked. I feel for you Mr. Simmonds.

The official video for “Bad Habits” by French Montana featuring Bun B.

Bone Thugs -N- Harmony has released a follow up video off of UNI 5: The World’s Enemy entitled “Meet Me In The Sky”. The first full length video off of the album was” Rebirth” featuring Thin C. Click here if you missed it. This video has a “Crossroads” vibe to it. This video was released earlier this morning via Myspace. Props to them for providing the video.

We here at StreetHop.com value the Bone fans as well as your opinions. Fire back and let us know your thoughts on the new video.

UPDATE: The album after being pushed back several times is slated to hit store shelves April 27th. Let’s hope, and I personally have been a fan of Bone Thugs since they first hit the rap scene, don’t push it back any further.

I don’t know what the deal with Trina is lately. But she seems to be turning pop instead of trying to hold down the Tiara for Gangstress of the South. Which she managed to take from Jackie-O and Khia. This track features Diddy and Keri Hilson in “Million Dollar Girl”. Set aside the pop vibe, Trina and Keri Hilson still look sexy.

This isn’t your typical Memphis Bleek track. He seems kind of soft in “Still Ill”. It’s a montage style video. First track off his upcoming The Process album due in stores this summer.

Even though Joell Ortiz and Jim Jones bet them to the punch [click here], here is Lloyd Banks and Juelz Santana’s video for their smash “Beamer, Benz & Bentley.”

UPDATE: Added the HD video instead of yesterdays low quality one.

Joell Ortiz and Jim Jones beat Lloyd Banks and Juelz Santana to the video punch with “Nissan, Honda, Chevy” which is a freestyle/parody of Bank’s and Juelz’s “Beamer, Benz & Bentley,” which is coming today too.

Here’s the first track off Joell Ortiz‘ upcoming album Free Agent called “Call Me”. It features Novel. Straight fire with a throwback vibe.

First Dr. Dre [click here] and now while in Norway 50 Cent says he just recorded a dance song for his upcoming album Black Magic.

One of the film clips Lil Wayne rushed to film before going in. Just a hook from Weezy and verses from Playaz Circle and Birdman.
