The Clipse: “Fast Life” (Prod. Scott Storch)
Apparently, this is off the upcoming Re-Up Gang album…Even though Timbaland won, Scotty can still make a banger.
“It’s the R-E-U-P-G-A-N-G!”
Worst Rap Songs Ever
June 16, 2008
In celebration of Wayne-mania and the recent success of “Lollipop,” I thought it would be fitting to look into some of rap music’s worst. I actually had a great time reminiscing on these terrible songs, and think you will too. Let me know if I’m missing any crucial ones, and feel free to get mad if your favorite artist is included. That being said:
I’m (not) On
June 16, 2008
Nas: “I’m On (prod. DJ Khaled)”
So Nas won’t give DJ Premier a call, yet he’ll gladly make tracks with the most overrated producer in the game? I really hope to hear at least one song from this album that gets me excited..

Guilty Simpson: “Beastly (Live)”
Here’s the latest from one of my recent favorites, Guilty Simpson. Make sure to check the interview after the jump too.
Wale Puts on His City
June 12, 2008
I don’t care what anyone has to say about hipsters, this guy can rap…Dude is a real-deal MC and I think hip-hop needs more (creative/talented) lyricists in the game.

Mic Terror: “Detention”
Mic Terror just won…It’s a wrap. Check the latest diss record from Mic Terror attacking Mazzi, over PE’s “Don’t Believe the Hype.” I typically don’t like to get into the beef/gossip business, but this diss record is too good to deny. Plus, it’s all in good fun.
If you haven’t been paying attention to this ongoing beef, it started with some diss tracks to all hipster rappers from an MC by the name of Mazzi (“Lesson A” and “Lesson B”) . Even though Terror was never mentioned, he took it a little personal and fired back (“Lesson C”)…Then the flood gates opened.

Only Built for Cuban Leaks
June 10, 2008
Some more Raekwon OB4CL2 goodness just leaked onto the internets. Here, The Chef gets his R&B on, and I’m definitely liking what I hear…If this and “Necro” are any indication of the album’s quality, then let the hype begin…Lil’ Wayne who?
Dilla Day Special
June 10, 2008
Check this audio from last February, celebrating the untimely death of one of hip-hop’s greats. The above link includes an interview with Pete Rock, Talib Kweli, and Ms. Yancey (Dilla’s mom), discussing all things Jay-Dee…Surrounding these interviews is an eclectic mix of his work.
