Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!

Say cheese. Freeway makes his rounds around town and lets the camera take its course in his new visual. Off his upcoming Freedom Of Speech project with Karmaloop Music and Rocksmith.
Last night at Tammany Hall in NYC, 1982 also known as Statik Selektah & Termanology held a listening session for their new album, 2012 hosted by Bun B. In case you were not in attendance, EME Takeover got a recap of the night’s festivities. Show some support and cop the album here.
Sugarhill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight” is among the 25 recordings that have recently been inducted into the National Recording Registry. Other notable recordings making the list include Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love” and Prince’s “Purple Rain“
24. “Rapper’s Delight,” Sugarhill Gang (1979)
The Sugarhill Gang’s infectious dance number from late 1979 might be said to have launched an entire genre. Although spoken word had been a component of recorded American popular music for decades, this trio’s rhythmic rhyming inspired many future MCs and rap artists. The album version of “Rapper’s Delight” is an epic 14 1/2 minute salvo of irreverent stories and creative wordplay. The song dates from hip-hop’s infancy. As such, it does not address subject matter that has given rap music both positive and negative notoriety, but the song’s inventive rhymes, complex counter-rhythms and brash boastfulness presage the tenets of hip hop. “Rapper’s Delight” also reflects an early instance of music sampling, drawing its bass line and other features from Chic’s 1979 hit “Good Times.” As a result of an out-of-court settlement for copyright infringement, songwriting credits for “Rapper’s Delight” include that song’s composers, Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers and bassist Bernard Edwards, as well as Sylvia Robinson and the Sugarhill Gang (Michael Wright, Guy O’Brien, and Henry Jackson).
As the 76ers evened the Celtics series with last night’s 82-75 victory at home, former player AI’s attendance was also a highlight. During the game, Meek encountered Iverson for a flick. Philly stand up!
E-40 really never stops working and earlier today Big Von got the green light to premiere the remix to his new track now featuring a list of heavy hitters. In case you didn’t know, The Block Brochure in stores now.
Kanye premiered his short film, Cruel Summer during the Cannes Film Festival last night. The half hour flick was projected on 7 screens inside a white pyramid tent with guests including Jay-Z and a few of members of G.O.O.D. Music. The film shot in Qatar, is now open to the public in Cannes until May 25.
The Guardian breaks down the story line:
Made in association with the Doha Film Institute, Cruel Summer stars West’s GOOD Music protege Kid Cudi as a bloke of bad stock. Dad was a car thief – Kid’s desperate not to follow in his footsteps, so instead he walks through a sparkly purple door into the middle of the desert. Men on horseback arrest him. He’s taken to a palace full of fruit. A blind girl plucks a giant guitar string. Cudi’s wrapped in bandages. A hawk flies. In, ultra, slow, motion. Cudi resolves to cure his love of her blindness. The cure for blindness is a remix of a song by Coldplay.
During the screening, Kanye spoke on the film’s vision:
“It related to a post-Steve Jobs, post-Windows era, where we’re always on our BlackBerry in a ball game or at the movies. I was very particular about having the screens separate, where your mind puts the screens back together, the way you put memories together. I’m not the best director in the world, but I had an idea that I thought would be amazing to inspire people, like a dream of one day this being the way people watch movies. You know, [Quentin] Tarantino doing a movie like this or a horror movie like this, animation, 3-D … in this form that surrounds you. People want to go back and see it more and more because they missed something to their left or to their right, and it feels more like the experience of life.”
Juicy J is still on his Blue Dream & Lean shit. In today’s clip, his early morning is interrupted by stray gunfire. Good thing he got Riley. Uh, too be continued?

Lil Wayne WEEZY F (@LilTunechi) May 24, 2012And so the drama begins (again). Apparently, Lil Wayne wasn’t too pleased with Pusha T’s subliminals on “Exodus 23:1“. Instead of stepping into the booth, he returned fire last night with the tweet above. Lord have mercy.
