Getting the Band Back Together?

It's been 10 FUCKING YEARS since the Lox released an official studio album. I was thinking of writing a "We didn't start the fire" of all the shit that's happened since We Are The Streets dropped but then I realized I have better things to do. These two full group appearances are promising, I don't know if rap has gotten worse or Sheek has gotten way better, but who cares? What isn't promising is the talk of Diddy putting out the next album. How many bodies does this dude have in his closet? Is it not a fact that your career dies the second you sign with Bad Boy? Why are rappers not catching on? New L.O.X. Order is allegedly coming in 2010.......With Dame Grease behind the boards??? Sigh. That Bad Boy fuku is a motherfucker. Nothing ends Kiss, nothing ever ends.

Hip Hop Tweets: March 9th...........Mourn You Till I Join You

In today's edition we look back to Tuesday as the Community paid tribute to the Greatest Rapper who ever lived. Christopher Wallace died 13 years ago and his presence is still felt and remembered as vividly as it was that fucked up day.

Verse of the Year

The fish and cheese! Good lord. This has been blessedly pasted onto Banks' dreary "Beamer Benz Bentley" on New York radio (amongst 2-3 spins an hour of Drake's incredible "Over" hook) and it's the best piece of writing I've heard in a long time. The greatest part about it is it's SO Joell, taking Banks' and Juelz gaudy conceit and giving us the Every Hustler reality beneath it, re-ups off the BQE or at the Home Depot on Northern Boulevard, the rotation of hoop-ds, fuck. Why can't his official singles be as good as his mixtape one-offs?
