A Baghdad Thanksgiving and is DJ Vlad the new DJ Clue?
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving yesterday. As a Brooklyn resident living on the border of the infamous Red Hook projects, here's one of many things I had to be thankful for: "The Killing Stops--Red Hook, once like a war zone, now homicide-free." (Source: Newsday)
Bush pulls off a daring PR move for Thanksgving but only ends up proving to me that how insecure Iraq really is with his top secret 2 hour visit to US troops in Baghdad yesterday: "Bush back from surprise Iraq trip" (Source: BBC News)

More hotness for your stereo:
- DJ Vlad Vlad The Butcher: the man behind Rap Phenomenon I and II is back with more exclusves and remixes from Biggie, Tupac, 50 Cent, G-Unit, Dr. Dre, Diplomats and my favorite new MC The Game. Trust me, if you're into tapes by cats like Green Lantern and DJ Whoo Kid, you need this in your life.
- Cee-Lo feat. Timbaland "I'll Be Around": his last album Cee-Lo Green and His Perfect Imperfections was fantastic but probably went over most people's heads. This midtempo Timbaland banger should do better.
- Mya "Fallen" wasn't really feeling the first single "My Love is Like... Whoa" from her latest album Moodring, which I haven't heard yet, but this second single flips an old Pharcyde/Jaydee beat to huge effect.
