The first one received such a warm reaction that they had to do another. YM’s own Gudda Gudda takes you back to where it all started for Back 2 Guddaville accompanied by DJ Ill Will and DJ Rockstar.

Gudda has been establishing his own identity with the YM co-sign. Throughout the trip, you’ll find guest features from Vado, Jay Rock, Killa Kyleon, Waka Flocka and the usual appearances from fellow label mates Mack Maine, Jae Millz, Short Dawg and Lil Wayne.  Also be on the look out for the “I Don’t Like The Look Of It” video featuring Weezy set to drop soon.

Enough talking, more music. Tracklist and link after the jump.

If you’re in the area tomorrow, be sure to check out Styles P at S.O.B.’s tomorrow night in celebration of his new book Invincible. I’ll give the utmost respect to P for doing something like this for a variety of reasons – the most important being the promotion of literacy in a genre where people think ignorance overshadows education. In some cases, it does, I guess.

Anyway, from recording with Biggie to dropping classic posse cuts to one hell of a debut album, P’s been around the block in Hip-Hop for well over a decade now. Show your support.

It’s hard to trust a Black woman [sometimes] because a lot of Black women’s mind frame is that the man gotta do everything for her⎯ he gotta pay for this, he gotta pay for that, and if it ain’t about money then a lot of them ain’t fucking with him. If that’s what you’re here for then I don’t want to be with you. Most single Black women feel like they don’t want to settle for less. Their standards are too high right now. They have to understand that successful Black men are kind of extinct. We’re important. It’s hard to find us so Black women have to bow down and let it be known that they gotta start working hard; they gotta start cooking and being down for they man more. They can’t just be running around with their head up in the air and passing all of us.

My girl is Black and White. I guess the half White in her is where she still cooks and do all the shit that I say, so we make it. She just takes care of me and I like that. She don’t be begging and I don’t gotta buy her all this crazy ass shit. And she’s a smart girl too. She graduated from Columbia [University] and I like that about her so it’s cool. I’ve dated girls that will buy a $3,000 bag and don’t know how to pay it off on their credit cards. They walk around in these Louis Vuittons and red bottoms but they’re riding around in raggedy cars, so it’s just getting your priorities right.

Less than a month away from Big Boi’s solo project, Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty, and ‘Twan’s old fling is trying to prohibit good music from being heard. Fret not, strings are being pulled, so hopefully we will finally be able to see the reunion of Big Boi and Andre on wax on July 6.

Regardless, if he makes it on the album or not, Three Stacks will still get producing credit as he was the architect behind the Yelawolf assisted “You Ain’t No DJ.” After the jump, feel free to take a look at the entire tracklist. It’s almost that time, folks.

Same summer spectacle, entirely new venue. Summer Jam has long been one of Hip-Hop’s marquee moments. The live show coupled with the thought of the unexpected always leads to great hype and anticipation heading into the event. Held at the new Meadowlands Stadium, thousands of fans filed in to see their favorite artists hit the stage.

The crowd was still entertained early on by artists like Gucci Mane, Estelle and Talib Kweli. Gucci had the audience energized early on as he went through some of his biggest hits including “Freaky Girl” and the party classic “Wasted.” Ludacris later came out for a set that was briefly interrupted by an audio problem – he went nearly a minute with no sound. Thankfully the crowd didn’t lose much energy as they interacted with him during the mishap.

Maino, Juelz Santana and Fabolous would later grace the stage garnering satisfactory reactions from their hometown crowd. Some of the biggest performances of the night, however, came from Trey Songz, Drake, Nicki Minaj and DJ Khaled (and friends). Songz, who is a newcomer to the event, had ladies everywhere in a frenzy as his sexually charged set was aimed directly at every female in attendance. Regardless whether the guys liked it, their girlfriends adored his time on stage as he performed “Neighbors Know My Name” – the song many were claimed was the ‘wildest’ of the entire evening. He even brought one lucky fan on stage and after pouring water in her mouth, kissed her (with tougne) in front of the entire audience.

Drake’s second Summer Jam comes roughly nine days before his debut album Thank Me Later is to hit shelves and on the heels of his first visit with Lil Wayne behind bars. He paid homage to his incarcerated mentor throughout his set while managing to keep both his female and male fans happy as he went through a bevy of songs. For good measure, he brought out his Young Money counterpart Nicki Minaj which the crowd thoroughly enjoyed as well.

DJ Khaled played hypeman as he brought out a laundry list of friends including: Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe, Nicki Minaj (again), Vado, Cam’ron and Rick Ross. The changing of performers almost at will kept the crowd on their feet as Khaled’s unique voice was heard throughout the stadium. Usher was one of the last performers of the night and while he will always have a one of a kind catalog to perform, the crowd seemed less enthusiastic towards the R&B veteran as they were for Songz only minutes earlier.

In conclusion, Summer Jam 2K10 did not have the surprise Kanye performance many were hoping for or last minute showing by Jay-Z, but did its job by keeping those who attended entertained and with something to talk about the next day. Hit the jump for more photos.

Days after her now infamous shots as Nicki Minaj, the newest victim of her barrage is Nicki’s new manager/Kim’s long time associate, Diddy.

The “Queen Bee” had a performance at Baltimore’s Club Sonar on Sunday. During the run through of the classic posse cut, “It’s All About The Benjamins,” Kim decided an impromptu line switch was needed when she said,”Puffy should be ashamed of his f*ckin’ self.” As if that wasn’t enough, Kim later bought out fellow anti-Nicki supporter Keys The Problem to speak her mind on Young Money’s leading lady.
