Joell Ortiz x Sean Price x Troy Ave Perform At S.O.B.’s
One reason why I wish I lived in NYC: everyday there’s a rap show. Here’s one…from Dallas Penn:
Joell Ortiz hosted a legendary night of underground Hip-Hop at the classic NYC nightclub SOBs. Sean Price tore it down. JuJu from the Beatnuts did his thing. Up and coming underground emcee Troy Ave caught wreck. Mostly it was just a dope night with Brooklyn’s best rappers keeping Hip-Hop from the streets alive.

When T.I. gets out of jail, his probation is going to further bend-end (new word) his career. From TMZ:
According to the docs, T.I. won’t be allowed to leave the Northern District of Georgia — Atlanta, Gainesville, Rome and Newnan — unless he can prove it’s for “verified employment within the United States.” That means he can’t leave the country.
T.I. is also banned from leaving northern Georgia for more than seven calendar days per month or for more than seven days in a row.
And that’s not all … as long as T.I. is on probation, he can’t drive a vehicle, can’t own “any firearm, dangerous weapon, or other destructive device,” and must participate in a drug/alcohol testing and treatment program.

Bush Speaks On Kanye (Video)
In case you wanted to actually see that part of the interview.
Kanye Gets 5 Stars In Rolling Stone
I guess I’m not all that surprised, but we’ll see what he gets in the Hip-Hop editorials as well. Spotted on YK2Daily:
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is his most maniacally inspired music yet, coasting on heroic levels of dementia, pimping on top of Mount Olympus. Yeezy goes for the grandeur of stadium rock, the all-devouring sonics of hip-hop, the erotic gloss of disco, and he goes for all of it, all the time. Nobody halfway sane could have made this album… on Fantasy, he gets ridiculously maximal, blowing past all the rules of hip-hop and pop, even though, for the past half-decade, he’s been the one inventing the rules.
It’s his best album, but it’s more than that – it’s also a rock-star manifesto for a downsizing world. At a time when we all get hectored about lowering our expectations, surrendering our attention spans, settling for less, West wants us to demand more.
Nobody else is making music this daring and weird… With Fantasy, he makes everybody else on the radio sound laughably meek, but he’s also throwing down a challenge to the audience. Kanye West thinks you’re a moron if you settle for artists who don’t push as hard as he does. And that means pretty much everybody.
