See, even though our personal playlists may give us the energy we need to keep bringing you that nonstop raw & uncut, it’s you the reader that gives us that extra push to keep doing what we’re doing.

- Additional responses ranging from Kanye’s “Champion” to “Fry” from Crime Boss were thrown in the fray when Darius Sinclairâ„¢ kept it “short but sweet.”

- When Ms. Weber took time out to vent on some bs, well wishers assured she had her head on straight.

- Who would’ve thought cats were up on Runny Ray?

- Lil’ Wayne + Jada G. = A whole lotta discussion!

- Jason Hortilla’s unveiling of Omen’s 1000 cc’s of audio cocaina caused 500K Flea to proclaim “Another banger!,” but we all know he’s made bigger statements than that…

- And everybody agreed: The industry needs to step up their marketing game.

Edutainment lives here. After everybody realized exactly what David’s actual argument was against Nas, the people reached a mutual accord. And he was right too. Nas dropped a couple of dope joints when he decided to lay off the racial undertones for a moment. But it didn’t prevent M.Z. from betting the odds against him among other Def Jam employees. And let’s not forget that Russell Bell spoke on the state of our ratings system.

But of course there was entertainment as well. Sorce-1 relived From Where with Skillz where he admitted to passing on a particularly famous beat, while Khalid (and you guys) reminded us how creative album covers used to be. So with the Crew clocking the overtime numbers, it’s the readers that make it all the worth our while. Keep checking in and we’ll keep dropping heat as well as discussing those Celts’ and Lakers.

And for the record, that is definitely NOT my ass in that pic.

It’s Gotty.
