Lupe and Kid Cudi at the VMAs

Performing "Superstar" and "Day 'n Nite," respectively. DJ AM and Travis Barker as the house band, too.

Just wanted to remind everybody that Wale performed with Mark Ronson at last year's VMAs and now dude's got a big ol' record deal with Interscope. Y'all know how I feel about both these guys, and now I'm seeing history repeat itself. Somebody get me an A&R job, these ears are too smart.

TRV$-DJ AM Mixtape

Travis Barker and DJ Am collaborated to make this sick mixtape. Girl Talk fans, you should get a kick out of this one:

"He's the dopest drummer alive," said Compton gangsta rapper the Game, summoning hip-hop's highest praise. "He does it so effortlessly. Travis is addicted to it. He loves good music but just happens to be a punk rocker."
