Jay Z fresh off the hills of a successful collaborative effort with Lincoln Park, has made suddle hints towards making a return. This would mark his 3rd comeback since his first album, Reasonable Doubt was initially termed his last.
Also controversy birthed from his freestyle on Hot 97 where many feel he took shot at Aftermath/G Unit artist The Game. The freestyle titled summer made several references to , "bangers" and the word, "game" appeared multiple times. Many feel that these lyrics were in response to The Game's button up shirt and Maybach references on his song " Westside Story".
The Game quickly dismissed any rumors of potential beef between he and Jay Z and claimed to never disrespect legends. His comments were refuted when while overseas he led crowds in chants claiming , " fuck Jay Z and Murder Inc.
Wars of words are frequent to The Game in that he has been engulfed in lyrical wars lyricists such as Joe Budden, Yukmouth, Memphis Bleek, and Guerilla Black.

Making The Band Season 3
Media and fashion mogul Sean ( P Diddy) Combs will evaluate another assembly of talent in the 3rd installment of his highly dramaticisized Making The Band. However, Combs and his support staff Phil Robinosn, Johnny Wright, and Doc Holiday have chosen to exclusively seek out the next successful girl group in the context of a Destiny's Child, Xscape, or Bad Boy Record's own Total.
Obviously due to the shift in dynamics between hiphop and contemporary/urban R&B the criteria will change. Dietary issues, compliabiliy, dancing, appearance, and overall cohesiveness should factor in determining elimination.
Who knows what potential issues may arise given the setting Combs has set for himself. I don't think the ladies will be taking many trips from their loft in New York City's Soho across the Brooklyn Bridge. Well, we could be looking at the next masterpiece to come from Bad Boy Records or another travesty due to inflated egos and immaturity.
You can view the results of the expirment yourself as Making The Band debuts March 3rd at 10pm ET/PT.

Genesis
" I"m like all races combined in one man like the 99 Summer Jam, bullet proof hummer man, I'm like being locked down around new faces and none of them fam", proclaimed Nas in Nas Is Like his epic analogical comparison off of 1999's I Am. He further proclaims to be , " a poor man's dream a thug poet" , which is indicative to hip hop in general and what this site represents. Unlike print media and online publications this site will serve as an utter reflection of the streets and urban culture. Also, the effects that urban culture has on the facets of our contemporary society( technology, major corporations, non urban culture etc). Hip Hop was birthed by the voices found in urban communities that spoke for those who otherwise went unheard. Sai' block will continue and never compromise that tradition.....
