“The Lakers beat the SuperSonics.”
Speaking of legends, Ice Cube closed out LA’s raucous Rock The Bells show. No mon, not Nasir and Damien Marley. With the Westside Connection homie W.C. as hypeman, O’Shea laid down his monstrous mellow classic. Happy Sunday, everybody. Ha!
Note: It does get cut off at end. A nation of flip cam amateurs.

Contrary to popular belief, not every rapper was in Cali last night. The legendary Big Daddy Kane took it back to his hometown BK and tore down a free show. Even 50 Cent’s manager was impressed. Ain’t nothin’ like the old school.
Joe Budden is live on his Blog TV channel as we speak but there appears to be a confrontation that just took place in Cali. Joe was hit in the eye. IceWaterTV recorded it. More details coming.
And yes, Mickey Factz is still hangin’ around.
Update: DDot ripped Mouse’s post fight recap.

Pardon this horrible footage of Slaughterhouse closing out their Rock The Bells set with “The One” and skip to around the 3:40 mark. Hear the crazed Slaughterhouse chants and see Crooked I with a whole lot of backup address the drama of the day.
“Don’t believe everything you see on the Internet. Don’t nobody gonna disrespect one of my niggas on the muthafuckin’ West Coast.”
I’m sorry my G, but I think that already happened.

Before he brought Ms. Winfrey to his old stomping grounds, Young HO was the other main attraction in the West Coast last night. He headlined the big summer jam for L.A.’s biggest radio station, Power 106. You know the home of Big Boy. Big Boy! Yeah you’ve prolly seen this before but it’s just as good as you remember. Got a problem? Make a better catalogue!

Ruh-oh! It’s that time of the year again boys and girls where MTV’s Brain Trust The 1515 Boys select the hottest rappers in the game. The draft starts August 17th with the number seed announced on August 24th during Diddy’s Making His Band. Get your wet wipes ready.
Wale, in this track, shows once again his ability to blend different genres. He doesn't limit himself to hip-hop, but enriches it with R&B nuances, creating a familiar sound. This fusion is not only an exercise in style, but serves to intensify the emotional impact of the song. And then there is his ability to rap. Wale is a master at playing with words, creating complex rhymes and modulating his voice to best express his emotions. In 'Blanco', his rap part is an explosion of words that intertwine with the melody, creating a hypnotic and relaxing effect. His ability to go from moments of pure energy to moments of deep introspection is what makes this track so engaging; it reminds me of when you would slow dance, hugging your woman.
