I’m not even going to try and come up with nifty prose this time because I know half of you are glued to your screens watching NBA All-Star weekend. I know I am.

So anyhow, what happened this week?

What you need to know:

– If Rappers Were Characters in the Wire

– Crew Love aka what the TSS Crew is listening to.

– Stickers. EZ-Splitz. Coming Soon.

What else happened? Well…

Album Reviews:

– NASA’s The Spirit of the Apollo

– Ryan Leslie’s Self-Entitled Album

– Cappadona’s Slang Prostitution

Mixtapes GALORE:

– Jay Rock is supposedly Coming to a Hood Near You

– Uncle Gotty™ hit us with some valentine mixes

– Lola P. came through with DJ Lissa Monet’s Lovestoned Vol. 3

– J.Kim told us Mochilla, Carlos Nino & Miguel Atwood Ferguson are working on a Suite for Ma Dukes EP.

– DJ Green Lantern and Jadakiss did it again (pause)

– DJ Drama presented LTD Living Notoriously

– We finally got that Marsha Ambrosius without the bloody Cannon tags.

– October’s Very Own finally dropped his long awaited mixtape. That kid Drake has one Hell of a following, as he’s currently at 50+ thousand downloads…in 2 days. His label better not wait till the buzz dies.

Videos

– TC found some vids Rap City would have otherwise put us on to.

– We learned some of E.Sermon’s secrets.

– Mistah FAB kicked bars from his hospital bed.

– CNN returned with Ron Browz and Busta Rhymes.

– Asher Roth brought his drunken misadventures to your YouTube screen.

– My favorite song from last year finally got visual representation.

– Our favorite little sister, LC caught up with Phontigga, EV, Will.I.Am and Blu on the set of their new video.

– The best 27 minutes of my life (in profanity) courtesy of K.Strick and the Sopranos.

– The guys from Lonely Island took T-Pain with them on a boat and apparently he “fucked a mermaid”. They are also boasting the No.1 Album on iTunes right now…so it’s really not a joke anymore.

– Maino however…

Other than that…

– 50 and Ross went at it again, and again, and again and again…and once more.

– Madonna’s baby beaver sold for 38 large.

– Raekwon dropped “Heat Rocks.”

– Cam’ron is officially back and pissing more people in his camp off.

– The Grammy’s sucked.

(Anyone else notice how I avoided that whole Chris Brown, Rihanna saga? Figured I’d let you focus on the important stuff.)

Like DUNKS…AND MORE DUNKS…. and that All-Star game tonight.
