The entire world is shaking their collective heads based on comments left on social media by Kanye West fans. I can understand how time can make youth not knowledgeable about former stars… but the same method (social media) that created this buzz could have easily helped fans find out information on Paul McCartney.

@DuesNice remarked: ‘Kanye has a great ear for talent. This Paul McCartney guy gonna be huge.’

@percyBlacksom posted: ‘Who is Paul McCartney? He boutta blow up thanks to Kanyer!!!’

@CurvedDaily added: ‘This is why i love Kanye for shining light on unknown artists.’

Now I would like those fans to use social media to find out about the Beatles…

The assualt charge in Australia apparently won’t stop the show… Joey Bada$$ will go on to New Zealand.

Australian police say 19-year-old Bada$$ punched a security guard and broke his nose after the guard asked him to prove his identity before a show.  I guess security in the Down Under didn’t know that you don’t ask Hip Hop artist that…

Charged with assault causing bodily harm, Bada$$ appeared in court under the name Jo-Vaughn Virginie Scott. He spent one night in police custody and was released on unconditional bail. If convicted, he faces a maximum prison sentence of five years.

The 40-year-old Sigel was shot Dec. 5 in the abdomen.  According to Sigel’s attorney, he was an unintended target of the shooting.  According to Billboard, Sigel was reportedly released from the hospital Monday, after a month-long stay following a shooting in New Jersey nearly killing him outside his home.

Khari Digital is breaking down 10 in a “Hip Hop Collabo” series… not greatest… just 10 collabo’s that had meaning to the game and still resonate throughout the Hip Hop community today… Today we feature Ja Rule, Fat Joe, and Jadakiss… “New York”  This record came out when NY was losing it’s swag… I thought this might bring some back… It didn’t… New York still has yet to find it’s way in today’s Hip Hop… Keep your fingers crossed…

You already know that Skillz hailing from 2 up 2 down… VA… Back at it again… 2014 “Wrap Up”

Macklemore stopped by the Ebro in the Morning show — on New York City’s radio station Hot 97…

One of the more innovative groups in Hip Hop history… Das EFX… burst on the scene in 92-93 doing what had never been done before…  “Nursery Rhyming” over Hip Hop tracks… making Hip Hop music “They Want EFX”…  that eventually became hit records and changed the rap game… Skoob (the books in reverse) and Krazy Drazy saw their style copied by many during that time period…  Why not… the style was crazy and set the world a blaze… What many wondered however…  was… How long can that style last?  What  may have hurt the group more was the fact that so many at that time bit their style eventually turning Das into ordinary rappers with a slight hint of their former selves on their follow up album “Straight Up Sewaside”… You began to hear less and less of the “Iggidy Riggidy” on records and more traditional flows… The funny thing is they were nice rappers no matter what flow they had…  Das EFX put a style out there that worked… their look and energy carried them to the pinnacle of Hip Hop for a moment…

RapUpTV interviewed L.L. – “I got a lot of young gunners on this album,” he told RapUpTV. “People that are hungry and want to make the best music. It’s about the beats and the bars and the rhymes. It’s about being current and fresh and riveting — not a bunch of old tired 95 nugget ring bullshit. It’s newness.”

The album will feature T.I. and Eminem for starters…

Ludacris, who’s real name is Chris Bridges, gets engaged to Eudoxie Agnan.  He did it by getting a private jet and projecting “Eudoxie Will You Marry Me” in vibrant blue lettering on the ground below.  According to Luda on social media… “She didn’t say yes. She said HELL YES!”
