Where’s Uncle Al when you need him?

-Beyonce to dump Sony for Jay-Z. [Post Chronicle]

-Jin - “Rain, Rain, Go Away” (VA Tech tribute) [Nah'Right]

-Miss Jones (aka Hot 97’s Don Imus) KO’d by an aspiring female rapper. [Complex]

-Culture police Al Sharpton, who’s obviously salty because Barry Obama has a better shot at becoming the first black Vice President than he does, plans to spend the remainder of the week interrogating Democratic candidates.[Boston Globe]

-Blame Cho Seung-Hui for buying Alberto Gonzales a few extra days, which has now allowed him to compile a 25-page apology ahead of tomorrow’s testimony. [Democrats]

-And all this talk about banning bad words from hip-hop. Beetlejuice has a better chance of becoming the next President before that happens. [Different Kitchen ]

Parts 1, 3, & 4.
I see we’re gradually becoming a race of response; Don Imus says something stupid and folks start calling for hip-hop censorship without looking at the real hole in our soul.

Part 3 is the best part–it’s where Kevin Liles calls himself God and nearly stabs a heckler with his collar bone.

And why isn’t Young Dro on this panel?

-Not even a remix with Junior Reid and Cham can redeem Mims from onehitwonderland. [SmashTube]

-Ornette Coleman wins first music pulitzer. [Vibe]

-Lionel Richie inadvertently disses his own daughter: ““I think it’s a cliché to say, ‘I’m going into rehab. I bumped my foot today — rehab; I hit my head on something — rehab,’”[MSNBC]

-Marco Polo ft. Masta Ace - Nostalgia [Video]

-Jigga, Diddy, and other rap moguls will hold a conference to determine a less provocative synonym for ho. [NYDN]

“Target practice, baby. Only thing is, I’m not the shooter…I’m the bully…And ye’ ain’t shit if ye’ ain’t never been screwed UP.”

I doubt Weezy will get kicked out of University of Houston for offering such graphic details of his escapades with daddy.

(”Screwed Up” appears on Trae’s upcoming new album, Life Goes On.)

-32 Students massacred at Virginia Tech. It’s the deadliest shooting incident in US history, according to the AP.

-Researchers say the Internet is a failure. They suggest scrapping it and starting all over.

-Win a date with Cappadonna, and earn an opportunity to have a journal entry that reads “A Day in the Life of a Cab Driver.”

-Apparently, Diana Ross is still around.

-Are Americans Getting Dumber? (Switch the first two words and delete the “?” for answer.)

-Being the innovative media leaders that they are, Rollingstone jumps on the MySpace bandwagon.

-Pharoahe Monch’s Top Three Rawkus Albums.

-In case you forgot, that HHTV Zune Contest is still on.

Music by 50 Cent. You dig?

Apparently, Capo reached out to inline skating filmmakers The Brown Brothers after seeing one of their documentaries. Over a drink of Dipset Sizzurp, the Brown Brothers told Jimmy that the Dipset movement is the realest thing out there. The rest is history.

Jim Jones and his Harlem-based crew The Diplomats are partnering with the newest phenomenon in the world of extreme sports, Freestyle Rolling, to create DipSkate, a Diplomat Records-sponsored skate team.

Now that Jimmy has helped Cam body Jay, Nas, and 50, he’s decided to move on to more lucrative (and less lyrically challenging) endeavors.

Diddy: Can I have that Unbelievable CD?
Mick: Take that, take that.
Diddy: Shut up!
Mick: I can’t stop cause I won’t stop

Mick Boogie won’t be saying “ho” on his mixtapes anytime soon. On the other hand, rappers who insist on using such verbal weapon of mass destruction, will continue to drink from the firehose of fair and progressive media outlets like FOX News for inventing the slang and forcing Don Imus to say it at gun point.
