To help combat the current famine in East Africa, Lupe phoned into the Islamic Relief USA Radio-A-Thon this afternoon, to raise some awareness. If you can, donate to the cause here.

More than 13 million people across East Africa are facing the worst drought in 60 years. Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia are among the countries hardest hit by food and water shortages. Crops, livestock and homes have been completely destroyed. Without water, crops have failed, livestock has died and food prices are too high. People cannot afford the basic food supplies they need to survive. With malnutrition already over 20% in the region, aid agencies now estimate about $150 million is needed in aid to begin to alleviate the suffering in the region.

While on the red carpet last night at the BMI Urban Awards, Drake commented on Lil Wayne’s diss toward Jay-Z on “It’s Good”. Just like Jadakiss, Drizzy says he’s keeping his hands clean.

“I just got a beat and did a verse over it,” Drake told MTV News from the red carpet for the BMI Urban Awards in L.A. on Friday before he accepted the award for Songwriter of the Year. “Whatever any other individual has to say, you have to ask the man himself. I just did what I know how to do. I just got on a record. I heard the beat, did a verse and heard the final product.”

Awhile back, ESPN tagged Jermaine, and now Travis Barker, to create a new version of the Baseball Tonight theme song for the 2011 Major League Baseball season. Check out both of their versions and vote here.

ESPN enlisted the help of notable musicians to provide their distinctive interpretations of the “Baseball Tonight” theme song during the 2011 season. We’ve already featured these versions of the song on air and in the ESPN Music section, but now we want you to help us crown the best version of them all.

For 11 weeks, we’ll have two artists square off in a poll for you to vote on. The winner will then face the next artist on the schedule and so on until the final week, when we’ll see who is the last one standing (full schedule at the bottom). Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker scored his second comeback victory in a row by knocking off Seether in Week 4 to earn the right to take on J. Cole this week. So vote in the poll at the right of this page now through Sept. 1
