Lupe returned to his native Chicago yesterday and at the 4:20 mark, planted his flag on The Throne, Lil Wayne and Drake. After all, two is not a winner and three nobody remembers.

“When you’re done Watching The Throne, turn around and watch me, when you’re done with the Carter 4 come back to me for more, when you’re done with that Drake, no, I ain’t trying to hate but I’m back up on my grind and I’m about to skaaaaate on these niggas…Put it on your blog and your tumblrs on your twitters that Lupe said that he’s the best, NIGGA.”

For the first time, Jay-Z and Kanye West performed “Otis” tonight at the MTV Video Music Awards. Peep the foiled crash attempt at the 2:00 mark. More footage later on.

The Throne is now covered in gold. After two weeks, Watch The Throne has now moved 612,911 copies. The album also remains at the top of the Billboard charts. Black excellence!

Jay and Kanye aren’t doin’ any press but I still got something to say about the album everyone is and should be talkin’ about. Issue on stands Sept. 6.
