“Havoc is a fuckin’ monster, B.”

You may have already seen a part of this segment where The Abstract speaks on Dilla, but he also gives it up for one of the greatest rap groups of all-time, Mobb Deep. If they’re not at least in your top 5, you don’t know shit about hip-hop.

In an interview with the Associated Press, Mrs. Carter says she’s not feeling the Twitter phenomenon. 

“My sister is the Twitter queen. She told me about the twittering, but I

don’t get it, I feel like I’m getting really old. I’m like what? I don’t understand. Just call me.

Call you? What you think this is, 2008? Shawn knows what’s up.

Vibe.com reports that Ray J’s cougar is prepped for her official comeback:

“Diane Warren, the songwriter behind Houston’s comeback single, has

the goods. ‘The song is called ‘I Didn’t Know My Own Strength’, Warren

told an audience at the Experience Music Project’s annual Pop

Conference in Seattle on Friday. ‘Whitney’s back. Big time.

Warren said she wrote the song specifically for Houston. ‘I tried to

get inside her head,’ Warren said about the track, which Houston

performed at Clive Davis’ Pre-Grammy Gala on February 7. “Strength”

will be featured on the 45-year-old singer’s seventh solo album, and

will be produced by famed hitmaker David Foster. “

Should be interesting to see how Whit fares in the land of the Auto-Tune.

Bonus: YN was at the aforementioned gala before Rap Radar launched. We lost.
