We posted a song and video by Mr. Posner a couple of days a go and hinted about the mixtape that would be dropping. Well, here at LCA, we keep our promises (and then some)! Here we have TWO (yes, two) mixtapes. The first is named “A Matter of Time”. It features the original to the song we posted and many other dope songs. It includes features from the likes of Don Cannon, Big Sean, Donnis and Jackie Chain (the last three artists named are on one of the dopest songs on the mixtape, Smoke & Drive (Remix)). It’s truly a hot mixtape! The second is named “One Foot Out the Door”. Not as many features as the first mixtape, but equally as dope as the first. It includes features from KiD CuDi, Bun B, 3OH!3, and GLC.

I really like this dude, I JUST started listing to him. He dropped a mixtape the other day that I have set to post later on today. This song has a pretty good Wale feature too! The crazy thing about Mike Posner is that he signed with J. Records during the summer, but he also just started his senior year at Duke a few weeks ago!! Talk about juggling more than one ball (pause)!
“Well, Beanie Sigel at the time, and you can look it up if you like, was driving two Bentleys. With his momma in the sticks and selling 800,000 records, I don’t know what more you can do for somebody. What people choose to do when they attain of success— at some point you have to look in the mirror, and look at yourself. Beanie Sigel had a record deal, a record label, and a clothing line. And never went platinum, ever. I don’t know in the history of rap has anyone done so much with so little. What more can you do for a person at that point. A record deal, that’s normal. A record label and a clothing line. If that’s not pushing a person, &hitttt…”
I told you I don't think Jay would respond with a diss.
The Air Board ($14,000) is actually available. This gasoline-powered personal hovercraft features a 1.3 gallon capacity for up to one hour of riding time, a top speed of around 15 mph, the ability to run over concrete, asphalt, grass, or shallow wet areas, aluminum, an aluminum frame with fiberglass, a high-impact plastic shell, and rubber surround, and skateboard-style steering. This is some Jetsons/Back To The Future stuff! Crazy! Get your dollars up!
Don’t get it #ucked up, this ain’t the greenlight for everyone to make a diss Jay-Z record. I still got love for the nigga, this is me taking my brother in the yard for 5 minutes. - Beanie Sigel
It sucks to see Beanie go at Jay, because they made so much good music together (e.g. "It's On", "This Can't Be Life", "Ignorant Ish" etc.). I'm a fan of good music & they made good music together! I don't see Jay responding with a diss. It just wouldn't make sense. First off, he probably looks at Sigel like his family even though that didn't stop him from going at Dame. Another thing, when was the last time you really heard anything from Beanie....oh that's right on "Ignorant Ish", which was Jays song. Or on "It's On" which was the best song on The B. Coming, which also featured Jay. I see the whole beef getting squashed real soon. What do you think about the diss & do you think Jay will respond?
Looks like the Stankees are going to need Jay & Ms. Keys to do every pregame! Because Jay-Z & Alicia Keys performing the NYC anthem "New York State Of Mind" was just what the Stankees needed to tie up the series 1-1!
SideBar - Why was Joba vibing to the song harder than Jeter?! SMH
I don't know what D.Wade was thinking about by signing to Converse he's rookie season. But moving to Jordan is a very good look. He'll be wearing the Jordan 16.5 this year (which I wanted till they came out, then I realized I was "off that').
In this first episode of NYC Edition watch Maestro & Nigel ride down the middle of Broadway headed toward the Brooklyn banks, and also checking out Format Queens, Five Guys burger and an extra pit stop in Las Vegas!
SideBar - I have to have Five Guys for lunch today! And I have to get those Nike SBs that Nigel has on!

HTC has debuted HD2 which will follow, in my opinion, one of it’s best phones, the HTC Touch HD. What makes this phone so special, you ask? A couple of things. This is the first Windows Mobile phone with a capacitive touch screen. This means that it has multi-touch capabilities. Now before all the iPhone fans start boasting that they been had capacitive screens (MisterJ1S), let me finish. The HD2 totes a massive 4.3'” (diagonal) screen with a screen resolution of 400x800 (WVGA). It has a super fast 1GHz Snapdragon processor, which makes running multiple apps (MisterJ1S) that much smoother. The phone comes with Windows Mobile 6.5 installed and gets a facelift via HTC’s Sense UI (which debuted on the HTC Hero – our post). For the photo enthusiast, the HD2 has a 5MP camera with a dual LED flash (MisterJ1S) and autofocus. The battery life is good at 490 hours of standby and 380 hours of talk time. All the usual connectivity suspects are here, 3G, WiFi and GPS along with a G-Sensor (which comes in handy for the digital compass) and Bluetooth 2.1. This phone should be out in the UK around next month, which made me start doing research for how to unlock the phone and port the US settings. Then I found out that T-Mobile (my carrier) is supposed to getting the phone in the US in 2010, first quarter. If that happens, I will be the first to get one and I will do a video review for our LCA fans!
That's the same reason why I've never seen anything with Madea in it. Not any of the plays or movies, nothing. I look at those types of movies as a modern day minstrel show. But on another note there's no comparison between Spike Lee & Tyler Perry. Mind you these are all my opinions which means they are right.
There was a lot hype surrounding these track before it leaked, and I feel like it didn't disappoint. I would have greatly appreciated a better Cam'ron verse. Pusher T & even Malice out rapped Cam! But hey, what are you going to do?!
SideBar - The track was produced by Pharrell The Neptunes.
Apple has reached another milestone by bringing gestures to the desktop with a mouse that’s unlike anything ever before. It’s called Magic Mouse. It's the world’s first Multi-Touch mouse. And while it comes standard with every new iMac, you can also add it to any Bluetooth-enabled Mac for a Multi-Touch makeover. Magic Mouse uses powerful laser tracking that’s far more sensitive and responsive on more surfaces than traditional optical tracking. That means it tracks with precision on nearly every surface — whether it’s a table at your favorite cafe or the desk in your home office — without the need for a mousepad. I'm kicking myself now, because I was in the Apple store yesterday & I didn't even play around with it (pause). Magic Mouse retails for only $69.
Peep Diddy's body language. He looks very uncomfortable! Now look at Mase's body language. He looks like he just won the Superbowl! This all took place on LegallyCrazyATL's V-103.
This is the first permanent monogram line for men, Louis Vuitton introduce its Monogram Macassar Collection for the Fall 2009 season. It was first spotted during the fashion house’s Fall/Winter runway show, the lineup captures the legendary LV monogram print with inspiration from hazel-brown and black striped Macassar Ebony, a type of exotic wood utilized in luxury furnishings. 9 different pieces make up the collection, including hand bags, messengers and totes. Personally I like their Damier Graphite print better. What do you think?
Jordan Brand is now set to unleash the third colorway in the form of this Jordan 60+ “Atlanta Hawks”. The Jordan 60+ combines elements from the Air Jordan I, the Air Jordan II, the Air Jordan V and the Air Jordan VII. If you recall, these are the four sneakers Jordan scored 60 or more points in during his career.
I saw a clip of this on a late night show last night & had to find the full video! This video makes me want to go back to New York even more! This was an argument between a pedicab driver and a taxi cab driver. This happened while Reid Lamberty (Fox NY) was doing a story on the price of Taxi cab medallions. This is great footage!
This is the best song I've heard from Usher since they re-released Confessions. In this song Usher goes into the feels one may have at the end of a relationship marriage. Usher's best music in my opinion comes when he's going through breakups (e.g. The Chili Breakup). So I expect for this album to be well worth the download...I mean the purchase! One thing I didn't realize till I did some research was that Ushers album Monster Raymond V. Raymond has a release date of December 8! That's right around the corner..... but until then enjoy the single.

I always knew something had to be wrong with those Barney kids, but I could never quite put my finger on it. I ran across this video and couldn’t stop laughing. Makes you wonder how they got those kids to act so chipper all the time!
I've been listening to J. Cole's mixtape The Warm Up a lot as of recent. It took me a minute to get into him (pause), because everyone was comparing his mixtape to So Far Gone & that might be my choice for "'Album' of the year". But J. Cole's has got some talent.
Ron Mexico is back with Nike two years after the company cut him off because of his involvement in a dogfighting ring. "Mike has a long-standing, great relationship with Nike, and he looks forward to continuing that relationship," his agent, Joel Segal, said Wednesday. Nobody knows the terms of the deal. But I highly doubt he gets his own shoe again! Yesterday, news quickly spread that Nike signed Michael Vick. Today, Nike clears the air about their relationship with Vick.
Nike said Thursday it does not have a “contractual relationship” with Michael Vick, a day after the quarterback’s agent announced a deal with the manufacturer.
In a statement released Thursday morning, Nike said it has “agreed to supply product to Michael Vick as we do a number of athletes who are not under contract with Nike.”
On Wednesday, Michael Principe, the managing director of BEST, the agency that represents Vick, announced the Philadelphia Eagles player had a new deal with Nike during a panel discussion at the Sports Sponsorship Symposium.via
I guess I was right, he's not going to get his own shoe! If I was him, I would keep it all the way fucky and wear my old Nike Vick sneakers!
