Yesterday he rapped for Facebook and today Kanye decided to rap for the good folks at Twitter. He also signed up for an account if you’re late. I wonder when he’ll make an appearance at Myspace, ha!

So rumors of Marshall’s demise on the charts (or slide to #2 to be less dramatic) have turned out to be greatly exagerrated. Despite projections that seemed to indicate otherwise, Em rallied at the last minute to outsell The Cop by 11,000 units (187K to Rawse’s 176K) and hold on to the #1 spot [...]

Melvin Bliss passed away today. The man is responsible for “Synthetic Substitution,” easily one of the greatest and most prolifically sampled records ever. The list of Hip-Hop songs that straight ganked the “Substitution” break is extensive, so I’ll include only a handful of my favorites (De La Soul, Public Enemy, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Ghostface Killah [...]

Chelsea Lately managed to get Big Boi, Lil’ Jon and Rick Ross on her show at once for a “Rapper Round Table”. What a roster.
I’m sure Rick Ross wasn’t to comfortable during the prison questions.

Ski Beatz plus the Mighty Mos Def equates to instant goodness. The song, “Cream of the Planet,” sounds as fresh—sounds like Spanish flavored horns in the mix—as it does on paper. Creative Control on the visual. [Peeped at Nah Right]
Ski’s 24 Hour Karate School now drops September 7, allegedly.
Kind of ill how the Mos [...]

Despite the fact that Malice loves this song, Pusha T admits to hating ‘When The Last Time’ despite not really knowing why. That track is timeless in my opinion!

Cappadonna “’97 Mentality” off that Wu-Tang Killa Bees compilation. This joint was always ill. Still is.
Produced by the RZA, ya know, the Wu-Tang Clan Abbot that Raekwon tells Vibe will not be contributing to his Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang, due in September. Sigh.
Born is 9, and God is 7. You’re welcome if [...]
