Just my thoughts at the time, Ladies and Gentlemen.

1. Where the f&*k is Rakim and his Seventh Seal album?
2. Why do rappers suddenly have an issue with Robin Givens?
   “And yes, I know the rules: Never marry Robin Givens” (Lil Wayne on “Damn, I’m Cold”)
   “I hope you’re more like Anita Baker than Robin Givens” (Andre 3000 on “Green Light”)
   

3. Why is Dre still avoiding The Game like a leper?
4. Why is Dre still avoiding the game like a leper?
5. Do Weezy fans live in Denial Island or is he as great as they say he is?
6. If Roger Troutman was still alive, what would he say about the vocoder craze?
7. Now that we’ve seen white rapper and female rapper shows, when will Ego Trip give us the Asian Rapper Show?
8. Were Bonnaroo fans justified in their outrage towards Kanye?
9. Is Robin Thicke still the king of blue-eyed soul?
10. What’s worse: Shaq dissing Kobe or Ne-Yo dissing Chris Brown?
11. Does Kanye really use a ghostblogger on his site?
12. Which would you rather see — a Tribe Called Quest reunion or a Fugees reunion?

I haven’t done one of these in a while, but the public’s been asking for it. So, heeere we go….

1. If Detox could talk, what would it say to Dr. Dre?
2. Is anyone else surprised that Dre & Em each made made less money than their “protege” in 2006?
3. Which hip-hop slang should be added to the dictionary next?
4. Whatever happened to that “Hustlers” video we were promised?
5. Was Rihanna’s “Shut Up and Drive” about drag racing or sex?
6. With Kurupt now repping Cash Money and his wifey Gail Gotti repping G-Unit, can we anticipate a G-Unit vs Cash Money beef?
7. How many more “Shawty” songs should we expect before the year runs out?
8. Was Curtis vs. Graduation a fabricated PR stunt?
9. Whatever happened to that Nas/Kelis reality show?
10. Where is The Game?
11. Did Hov give LL “a pass” out of fear or out of respect?
12. Why did it take Riz 4 (conv: 400 Internet years) days to update The Rap Up?
