This new track from Nas, is pretty interesting, I definitely prefer this one over his earlier track Be A N*gger Too. It is a slow but it touches on issues that we should be concerned about, and the beat is pretty good

Check out the new track with Usher and Jay-Z, Best thing. Personally I’m not fan of hip hop and r&b collabs, but with this song, Jay-Z’s lyrics where pretty good, and Usher actually sang instead of pretending to be T-pain.
A representative for Def Jam has confirmed to EW.com that hip-hop artist Nas has made an eleventh-hour decision to change the title of his new album from N—– to simply Nas.
Ugh, I saw this one coming, and what sucks is that Nas is going to be looked at as someone who can not delivery. This is clearly going to be another strike against his falling career, He should have fought this to the death, and even if execs decided to drop him, his pride would still have been in one piece.
SMH.
There is a growing debate on the definition of real hip hop, but this time not underground versus mainstream but real hip hop versus the new rising sub-genre hipster rap. Apparently people have a problem with this new genre because the artists have a lack of knowledge about what they rap about; for example, the hipster group, Cool Kids, rap and maintain an image of an 80’s, early 90’s group like EPMD, with that individuals would say that they know nothing about the artists they claim to get their inspiration from. Another argument against this new fad is that the artists and their style of music are solely based on their fashion sense.
Rim, the manufacture of the blackberry phone, are preparing to launch their new touch screen phone which will be called the Blackberry 9500 or “Thunder”. According to Wall Street Journal, the Canadian manufacturer will be offering the BlackBerry 9500 on Verizon Wireless and Vodafone networks, exclusively. Vodafone has a track record of getting BlackBerry smart phones exclusively in Europe, and an exclusive agreement will obviously also cause extra buzz for Verizon Wireless.
The BlackBerry Thunder 9500 is scheduled to hit store shelves in the third quarter of 2008, most likely in September.
FYI: The image is not the real Blackberry Thunder…But just mock done by the people at BGR
MTV recently released a compiled list of the Hottest MCs in the game. This listed was created through a heavy debate by a panel of respectable individuals in the Hip Hop game.
Here is the list, and the link sends you to a page to tell you why the artist was chosen for that specific position.
1: Kanye West
2: Jay-Z
3: Lil Wayne
4: Rick Ross
5: Snoop Dogg
6: 50 Cents
7: Lupe Fiasco
8: Young Jeezy
9: Andre 3000
10: T.I.
The chart makes sense, but some things are a bit sketchy like Rick Ross. Def Jam probably paid MTV for that spot, just like how they bought out his album.
Check out the 3rd Mummy with Brendan Fraser. The trailer looks impressive, like kung fu meets the original Mummy, but for some reason, I don’t think this movie is going to be any good.
Once upon time, there was a fake battle which was cooked up by a record label to increase sales amongsts two artists, 50 cents and Kanye West.
It looks like they’re are it again, both G-unit’s Terminate On Sight and Nas’ Nigger will be released on July 1st, and 50 cents has already been taking shots as Nas’ new effort..
So the question, is who is going to take home the win this time, G-Unit or Nas?
