A Day In The Life: Ice Cube Attends Oakland Raiders Game (Video)
November 25, 2011
I’m an Oakland Raiders fan & I’ll be flying to Oakland early tomorrow so I can catch Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears. I usually fly to Cali at least once a year specifically to be in attendance to watch my Raiders play. Fellow Raider fan & West Coast legend Ice Cube & his wife made a trip out to a game two weeks ago on November 6th against the Denver Broncos. Our Raiders didn’t beat the Broncos that day, but hopefully my presence in the “Black Hole” this Sunday will edge us a win over the Chicago Bears. Maybe I’ll use my iphone & do my own “Raiders: Day In The Life Of Jayforce” for y’all depending on how I feel. In the meantime, Hue Jackson & the team need to keep doing it for Big Al Davis. Just Win Baby!
Update: Jayforce attends Raiders Vs. Bears game… Raiders Win 25-20. Video below…

M.O.P. Speak On The Reason They Left 50 Cent’s G-Unit Records (Video)
November 25, 2011
For years people have been asking M.O.P. what happened with their deal with “Ferrari F-50’s G-Unit records. When I interviewed them the last time they came to Atlanta for a show at Atlanta’s Apache Cafe they told me the same reasons mostly off camera. The impression I got from my interview with them back then is the same impression I got in this interview now & my assessment was that maybe they were a little stubborn & some longtime fans weren’t feeling the musical marriage.

Tanya Morgan – ‘You & What Army’ (EP)
November 24, 2011
For Donwill and Von Pea, ‘You & What Army’ marks another defining moment in their careers, a melding of their solo and group work into a unified, fully-formed sound.
“The EP is a natural progression, in that it blends the production sounds that you heard on our solo albums into one cohesive set of songs,” says Donwill. “We also were conscious of people noticing that the trio is now a duo, so we wanted to ensure that this and all future projects have a different sound and feel than Brooklynati and Moonlighting.”

Snoop Dogg x Wiz Khalifa feat. Bruno Mars- “Young, Wild, & Free” (Video)
November 24, 2011
First video from the lead single to Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa’s upcoming album & film ‘High School’. The song ‘Young, Wild, & Free’ featuring Bruno Mars was supposed to be on Wiz Khalifa’s ‘Rolling Papers’ album, but they both came up with the idea to just lock in & record a joint album that later expanded into shooting a movie for it as well. I think Snoop & Wiz have great chemistry & this cool laid back joint is proof of that…
