The Combat Jack Show: Watch The Throne Edition
You know, I really wasn’t going to speak on this particular issue…….and I’m still not. Lol…..seriously, though: I think we all make mixtakes, and we have to learn from them. What a fellow blogger (and homie) did was probably an example of that. The problem is that I wasn’t present at said event (unfortunately) and so can’t really speak on something I wasn’t present for……but I do believe that his intent was nothing short of contributing to the culture. Whether or not it’s worthy of all of the negative attention is really up to you.
For the record though: I think that regardless of the snippets being there or not, D-Dot did a damn good review of Kanye & Jay’s project to the point that it only makes me want to go out and purchase it even more…..and I KNOW I’m not the only one who feels this way.

Get More: MTV Shows
Styles P tells MTV he’s about to flood the game by releasing his new mixtape The World’s Most Hardest MC in the next few weeks and follow it up with the Master of Ceremonies in September.
“It’s just gonna be hard. It’s gonna be like the old feel, but kind of a new feel. Expect another crazy in and out with me and Kiss. Expect a joint with me and Louch. I’m just gonna kinda go ape on it. I’m gonna do original beats. The mixtape game kinda switched now, because I don’t want the Feds knockin’ at my door for using Weezy and Jay-Z and Kanye and everybody’s beats, so you kinda gotta go original.â€

NY Times, Kids These Days: A Group With a Sound if Not a Genre
Vic Mensa was so determined to get into Lollapalooza last year that he tried jumping a fence near some downtown train tracks, brushed against an electrical transformer powering the trains, fell 25 feet to the ground and wound up in the hospital.
He will be back at Lollapalooza on Friday — but this time as a performer.
Mr. Mensa, 18, belongs to the band Kids These Days, which will play on the first day of the festival. This group of eight Chicago musicians, four from Whitney Young High School, may be new, but the task ahead is as old as rock ’n’ roll: striving for stardom, writing new music, building an audience and negotiating their way into a fragmented and bottom-line music business.
