Bad Boy civil war?
Now this is funny: for those of you who this Summer watched the trainwreck that was Making the Band 2 on MTV about P Diddy's efforts to create a hip hop group from scratch American Idol style this track will brighten up your day. Recorded by Bad Boy act the Hoodfellaz (featured on on the track "If you want this money" from Puffy's 2000 album The Saga Continues), this dis' track titled "Taking the Band" is aimed at MTB2 group Bad Boy's Da Band (that is their actual name and, yes I know, it's terrrible).
Apparently the Hoodfellaz are unhappy at having to rev in neutral for 3 years while Da Band, signed after them, has their debut album Too Hot for TV released next Tuesday. The first half of the track has them rhyming over the "Bad Boy This, Bad Boy That" beat but the second half is the real hotness when they flip Juelz Santana's "Dispet (Santana's Town)" beat. You have to hear it to see how they clown Da Band by repeatedly referencing a key event from one of more memorable episodes earlier this season.
Also making the rounds on the web right now is a brand new duet between Notorious BIG and 2Pac produced by Eminem. Click here, here or here for more details.
Finally, thanks to Nadine for passing me this breaking AP News item "Signs Show U.S. Underestimated Iraq War." Any time Bush wants to admit he made a mistake on the Iraq invasion, I'm here waiting....
Need something to do for the weekend and you live in the NYC area? Check out the opening TONIGHT of a new BK spot to chill at called Grand 275. Operated by Mark and his partner Carmen this cafe-bar is located in Clinton Hill, just blocks away from the Pratt Institute.
