Finally got my hands on this. Responding to criticism from “Internet Connection,” Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek broke a new song on Green Lantern’s Sirius radio show last Monday.

This is more like what you’d expect from them.

Juan Epstein: Reflection Eternal

Wednesday, March 18 2009 7:29 AM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Focus

Fun Fact: YN was the first guest on Juan Epstein. Now there’s no Juan Epstein without guests. Multiple shots! Anyway peep Cipha Rosenberg’s latest rap nerd fest. This reminds me that Kweli and Hi-Tek also performed “The Blast” live on Green Lantern’s Sirius show last Monday that I co-hosted. They also broke a new song. I think I finally ripped it right from that night last night. Ha! Stay tuned.

Guess the tape recorders and the flip cams were out all reckless last night. Ha! Internets. It’s your dude Dallas Penn. Internets. He’s got some crazy footage from last night. Internets.

Guess The Bawse still got a few in the chamber but the overall consensus is that the album is pretty good.

So can the laughing stock rock if his shit’s hot?

Jay-Z Nets RapRadar.com

Just when I lost all hope on my property value, there are new reports that the Nets will indeed be movin’ to New York for the 2011- 2012 season. Too bad for Hov and company that’s a year after LeBron is free. Would the Roc Boy play in swamp land for a year? I wouldn’t bet on it.

Tyrese Butchers Kanye West Song

The thing that sucks about being an artist today is that with very lil technology someone can take your song and fuck it up. Someone tell Black Ty he owes Mr. West an apology. This is worst than the Ray J video.
