Lupe Reacts To “YN’s Blackout”

Last night, Lupe Fiasco responded to Yellow Nigga’s “Blackout” rant at his home base. Sorry folks, but there’s no “beef”. As the saying goes, opinions are like— well, you know, and everyone has one.

DJ Enuff’s Torn On Playing “Exhibit C”

DJ Enuff is experiencing a crucial conflict. On his blog yesterday afternoon, the Heavy Hitter put himself through the ringer for not playing Jay Electronica’s “Exhibit C” on your Hot Nine Seven.

Pacquiao To Sue Mayweather

Uh-oh. According to ESPN, Manny Pacquiao is on the verge of suing Floyd Mayweather, Jr for defamation. Reportedly, Mayweather, Sr and his camp have repeatedly accused Pacquiao of juicing. “Enough is enough.
