Spotted over at Eskay's; according to Nation this is one of several versions of the video for "Flashing Lights."

Say what you want, but this here is a beauty-ful song. Shouts to King Kobra for putting me on to this joint when it dropped like a year ago or whatever. Late passes to A.D. and I.A. on the video look.

Busta Rhymes f/Lil Wayne, Nas, The Game, Big Daddy Kane, Spliff Starr and Reek Da Villain - "Don't Touch Me (Throw Water On 'Em) remix"

Busta Rhymes got half of the world to hop on the remix to this joint. Tis a banger, indeed. Shout out to Langston over at ThinkTank for being on his hustle.

I was sent this press release this afternoon regarding Slick Rick:

"My family and I are eternally thankful to Governor Paterson, my attorneys Michael Krinsky and Craig Kaplan at Rabinowitz, Boudin, Standard, Krinsky & Lieberman and to all of the people who have supported me throughout the past seventeen years. This has been a long and difficult road and I am happy for this to be settled once and for all. I look forward to enjoying this time with my family and friends and to continue leading an honest and productive life." – Ricky Walters

Phat shout out to Slick Rick and phat shout to Gov. Paterson for doing the right thing.
