Uh-oh, looks like Kamaal’s calling on Bloomberg’s countrymen to put an end to his incumbency this November. According to Tip’s Twitter account, he gripes that the Mayor is going to “turn the city into the office for rich folk and kick out the middle class/poor folks.” When you consider the gentrification of neighborhoods in Harlem and Brooklyn, Tip isn’t completely off his rocker. Hell the price for a one bedroom in, could feed a third world country. Transportation fare’s up, […]

Outta the way Usher. Yesterday, the Black Eyed Peas broke Mr. Raymond’s record for the longest consecutive stay at the top of the Billboard charts. Eclipsing “Burn” and “Yeah!”, B.E.P.’s “Boom Boom Pow” and “I Gotta Feeling” have collectively reached number one for 20 weeks. I’m far from a fan, but that’s one helluva of an accomplishment. I’m sure [insert your favorite rappa here] would sell their soul publishing to achieve that level of success. With that said, check out […]
[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.866625&w=425&h=350&fv=%26rel%3D0%26border%3D0%26] It’s not that Yayo can’t stop; it’s just that he won’t stop pumping out new videos. In fact, here’s the latest from his upcoming Gangsta Grillz mixtape, Gangsta Paradise. No Coolio cameos here.
According to ESPN, Cheddar Bob Plaxico agreed to sit his dumb ass in prison for the next two years. The former NY Giants star shot himself in a N.Y. nightclub last year. After his release he will have have two years of supervision. No sympathy here. You do the crime, you do the time. Besides, everyone knows NYC’s super strict when it comes to weapons possession.

Normally, I’d call bullshit. Afterall, Big Boi’s been plugging this album for the longest. But with Maurice there to give it an added co-sign, I believe it is. Maybe Def Jam felt otherwise?

It's pretty intense reading that Guru released a statement on his health while recovering. Hearing directly from a hip-hop icon after such a scary medical scare gives everyone a massive sigh of relief. You can tell he really values setting the record straight himself. It reminds me of how people want to look and feel their absolute best after going through tough times, whether that's overall wellness or even specific cosmetic refreshes like getting a Blepharoplasty Limassol routine done for a fresh look. Overall, seeing him send love to the fans shows his resilience, and we're all just hoping for a full, speedy recovery for the legend.
