Nas’ lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, is asking the judge to take another look Nas’ monthly Finances.

As we first reported, a court ordered Nas last month to pay more than $87,000 in back spousal and child support.  The judge also ordered Nas to pay Kelis $10,000 a month in spousal support to stay current.  It’s unclear how much Nas is required to pay in monthly child support.

Nas says in the new legal docs obtained by TMZ … the judge predicated the order on Nas making $152,031 a month, but the rapper says he makes “substantially less than that amount.”

Turns out that track from Jeezy’s Trap Or Die II had another element to it in the form of Rick Ross.

Produced by The Olympicks, you can expect to find this on the DJ Smallz hosted Albert Anastasia EP. A rather peculiar name, but I’m sure it’ll make more sense as we get closer and closer to its Memorial Day release.

Speaking of two of the game’s most popular D-Boys, they look to close the month of June out strong with Jeezy liberating TM 103 on June 22 and Ross stacking shelves with Teflon Don on June 29. This will be the last time I mention June being a big month. This week.

This must be “National Mixtape Week” or something because these things are being released quicker than I can comprehend.

A lot of people may not remember DJ Smallz hosted Drake’s first tape all the way back in 2006 called Room For Improvement. Just some background info for those not familiar. This time he hooks up with Nappy Roots for a tape that looks promising upon looking at the track list.

At this point, waiting for Detox isn’t even an option anymore. If it’s real, you just hope it surfaces sometime before you either A) move on to the after life or B) lose interest with Hip-Hop altogether. For years, we’ve been hearing this person is featured on the mythical album and these people are producing and even these people have written for The Good Doctor.

Aside from a few reference tracks, no one would even believe this thing even existed.  And “Under Pressure”? That was supposed to be the record that shut the industry down…a month ago. Anticipating the record is only going to lead to high blood pressure and random acts of anger. However, the good folks at It’s The Real decided to document the entire journey. Nursery rhyme style.

By now, you should know Jeff and Eric’s track record. Just click play and let them do the explaining.

When your company has had the bad publicity Toyota has, something like this doesn’t seem like that bad of an idea. Keyword: seem. I’m no Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Barack Obama or Huey Newton for that matter, so this isn’t one of those “we gotta-gotta” type speeches. However, if Toyota thinks this is going to help them sell cars, they should have went with their second or third idea. I’m not exactly positive how this would make you want to purchase a mini-van, but to each their own.
