Not just Natalee Holloway missing.
Q-tip, Ronson & Blu Jemz on the set TONIGHT.
Speaking of Mark Ronson, The Swift Chancellor lays out the argument for why his protege Rhymefest is the next big thing in hip hop.
Thanks, O-Dub.
And spotted via O-Dub's other site, Poplicks: this is kind of industry-orientated and maybe slightly old news for many but for those who care, the SD-50's Dante "The Scrub" Ross vs. DJ Six-Seven of overlooked 90's LI hip hop crew Hard to Obtain (aka H2O)
How did Boyz N Da Hood get a collab hooked up with the late, great Eazy E where he even mentions that his car stereo is "bumping that ATL funk" in his rhyme?! (real mp3 snippet of "Gangstas" courtesy Tower Records)
Hot 97 accepted payola?!! Say it ain't so (I could barely type that out with my tongue so firmly planted in my cheek. Related: 'sup Dan?)
The greatest blog post ever? Joey thinks so. The other Ian in the hip hop blogosphere does an incredible job running down hip hop artists and their equivalent college football teams.
And speaking of sports The Swift Chancellor touched on this a little bit last month wrt to the NBA and high school players, but is Carmen Bandea being fronted on by the LPGA?
The story of missing, pregnant mom Latoyia Figueroa (above) might not be garnering quite as much coverage as the Natalee Holloway story but it is starting to gain some traction including a lead slot on Tucker Carlson's "The Situation" TV show on MSNBC a minute ago.
Finally, anyone catch the premiere of this new Iraq war-centered dramatic TV series Over There last night? I'd say this was redundant and premature but since no-one can get any real, substantive coverage of the war from the news media right now, maybe we actually do need this show. Damn...
