So much has gone down like Lewinsky this past week; if you missed anything, allow me to reinitroduce it to you. Why else d’you think we call it The Rap Up?

Here’s a break down of notable events in the last one – two weeks:

50 Cent thinks Kanye West is a moron for speaking up against Bush? I know Fiddy’s got serious childhood problems traumatizing him and stuff but damn.

After denying the rumors of an eminent collaboration, el presidente Jay-Z and NaS finally did what BIG and ‘Pac never had the chance to do.

Fresh off the reliable rumor mill, Jay-Z to buy The Source Magazine?
XXL-bred Harris Publication is also interested in the deal. Picture Source and XXL enjoying a brother-sister relationship a la Vibe and Spin. Unfathomable.

So, Cam’ron arranged for some unemployed crackhead to shoot him in the arm just to build up anticipation for his album and movie? (I blame 50 Cent for this bs).

There’s no way The Game’s arrest could have been a hoax to hype up The Doctor’s Advocate.

But isn’t is suspect that Wikipedia defined G-Unot as some kind of movement initiated by Game?

Young Jeezy ’s popular brand Snowman’s getting a bad rap. In fact the guy who makes snowman didn’t even know that the symbol represents, um, da snowman

And, un-rap-related, MC Hammer has decided to put his entire music catalog on ebay complete with his parachute pants.

The first woman to lie in state at Capitol is none other than the great ROSA PARKS. R.I.P
