Check It ... Lloyd Banks "Start It Up" Feat. Kanye West, Swizz Beatz and Fabolous

"I met this MILF at the allstar getting action. A cougar w/more rings that Phil Jackson ..."

It seems as if Swizz is back on that Ruff Ryder shit but overall, I dig this track. Ye's verse is by far the best. Oh and I couldn't bare to put up a pic of Lloyd Banks, because when I see him, I see Brian Pumper. And when I see Brian Pumper, I see cheap Claire's jewelry. I can't have that on the blog. So, thank you Kerry Washington for saving the day, even though she has nada to do with this track. Anyway, check this jawn out.

No stranger to hip hop controversy, rap's most infamous ghostwriter Skillz presents "The Last Laugh (J.Period Didn't Do It!

Shad's TSOL Arrives in the US

Shad has arrived. I've had this album for a few months now but TSOL has finally been delivered to the States. This is definitely one of my favorite releases this year. If you're not up on Shad, use this album as an opportunity to get familiar. Or continue to sleep and miss out. You make the choice.

Reality TV Needs "Boss Chicks"

As Reality T.V. is my sometimey guilty pleasure, I think this show just might be a good one. There are a lot of women in the industry, blogsphere and literary world who are doing great things. Talk Dat Ish Entertainment and VH-1 are looking to cast women who dominate in the industry and want to share their story. Now, I know quite a few women that rule this industry and if VH-1 casts the right ones, this show might be something worth watching. You MUST BE in the NYC area to participate. The dates and places are as follows:

Wednesday, October 6

12 Debrosses Street
bet. Hudson & Greenwich
Time: 1-5 PM & by appointment between 5-7 PM
