I figured since I’ve been getting so many replies (Hate Mail) about me not feelin’ Neyo, I’d show all of you Neyo fans (Exclusive1) that there are no hard feelings. I mean, me and Exclusive1 had a debate (as we often do) back in September and the posts just haven’t stopped! I made a couple of comments about Neyo being an Usher wannabe (nothing’s changed), and boy have I been catching it! I hope this squashes the hate. And no, I’m still not a Neyo fan. Sorry!

Now for those of you who don’t know, God Emcee Talib Kweli , Res ,and Canadian rapper, Noel Graph form the new group Idle Warship. With a variety of different sounds, Talib shows why after all these years in the game, he is still one of the most respected. The album Party Robot is supposed to drop sometime this year(but probably won’t, Year of the push back). The bonus is a retro look at Kweli and his beginnings with the mega group BlackStar, with Mos Def. That one’s for my main Dunn, Exclusive1! Enjoy.

Big UP to the Ohio All Stars!

Just in case you don’t know, today is the 4th year anniversary since OL’ Dirty Bastard’s death. I just watched the Wu Tang Clan story on B.E.T and it was pretty good for B.E.T( If you can get through all the commercials). I felt compelled to do this post, because we can’t forget those MC’s who set out years ago to move the crowd. ODB was definitely that guy to get the party goin’. It was like when you heard his voice on a track, you was ready to get gutter as F&^%! I remember first hearing the Wu( Where were you?) and have been a fan ever since. Get ready to break ya neck! Here’s a couple of Throwback Tracks from The Wu - Tang Clan Greatest Hits CD. Oh yeah, today would have also been ODB’s 40th birthday. Happy birthday ODB. R.I.P.
