Im surprised that Eve is dropping so soon. I don’t think “Tambourine” did anything. I thought they would have pushed her back into the studio and back into 08′.

I’m glad you’re still making a fuss about the Jena 6 incident. Black people are REALLY sleeping on racism, and this is what happens when you just let that kind of shit chill…

On a happier note, hopefully, you’ll get recognized for your efforts on this blog…it’s pretty much in touch with the face of Hip-Hop, IMO

I got UGK but it’s still in the plastic.
But damn, I can’t wait for that Kanye.

Jena 6: Has anyone seen this on the news?? Cuz I watch CNN headline everyday and I’ve only heard one mention.
