Perhaps it's late afternoon and you're stuck in traffic on the 110 North after arriving at LAX, or perhaps it's 2 a.m. and you and some friends have wadded together enough beer-soaked bills to get a safe ride home from the bar. Whichever the case, you're stuck in a taxi with a driver that has seen and heard it all before, but you've probably never seen a taxi like this, ever. Despite its standard blue and yellow Checker Cab exterior, once inside it becomes obvious that Taxi No. 3502 is not your normal taxi, and Lonnie "Wisefool the Cab Driver" McCreery is not your average cab driver. No, you still can't smoke inside and, yes, he still only carries five dollars in change, but Wisefool's taxi doubles as a mobile recording studio for spoken-word poets, rappers and any fare who has the freestyle skills to get on the mic. The good thing? It doesn't cost a penny extra. Also a musician, Wisefool first decided to convert his cab into a mobile recording studio in 2009 after realizing that five years spent circling the airport terminal and babysitting drunks had left him with little time to work on his own music. He equipped Taxi No. 3502 with microphones, a laptop and Pro-Tools, all powered through the cab's cigarette-lighter converter, and soon Wisefool was recording more than just himself, but also some of underground hip-hop's finest, which he now documents on camera as part of his "Off the Meter" video series. From rappers Kosha Dillz, Black Skeptik and Verbs, to impromptu sessions with surprisingly well-versed Valley girls, if you've got what it takes to lay down a track while cabbing through L.A., then "Wisefool the Cab Driver" has you covered, seven days a week. (213) 858-3786.

If you aren't up on the latest in "beef".. here's the short story. T-Pain is djing in Las Vegas and talking shit on the mic about Jay. Jay responds with a fuck T-Pain, then T-Pain responds with some Age-ism referring to Jay's age. The result - this Track where T-Pain freestyles over Drake's Successful and gives a heartfelt apology to Jay as well as defends his "average" looking wife. I mean, I know a few rappers who dumped their wives/girlfriends once they got a little paper so this, to me, is a good look! Dudes stick by your bitches LOL.

“Some people call it being soft, some people call it bitching up…I just gotta be, I just gotta be more careful….so that Nuvo got me poppin’ s–t, and even worse, the people around me ain’t knockin it…alright, so lets talk about the Jay shit. Some days I wish I never say shit, and Diddy said ain’t no excuse for what I did, but I felt like he was knocking the same shit that feeds my kids…and Jay one of the only n out here bringing it, so I didn’t think he would even entertain the shit. Cuz entertainment is see-thru but if you really feel like I’m dead, then me too. I ain’t tryin to write your rhymes but you coulda skipped one DJ and all you had to say is, “T-pain, we cool.” But by all means, don’t take this as a diss or hatin’, I just wanna explain my side of the situation, so if you knew how much respect that I have, you’d know I’m a real n when I say, “My bad.”

(*the section about people hating on his “regular-looking” wife is somewhat heartwarming but also obtuse, because no, Pain is not the only one featuring video models of different skin tones, whether those castings are calculated or not.)
