-Video: The Game teams up with Travis Barker. Travis apparently broke his right arm while shooting a video for his side project +44, but still ripped the drums like a pro. (Update: Full Video)

-Oh word.com has a lengthy synopsis of the NYC leg of Rock The Bells tour. They also offer you the sweet escape option of a photo gallery.

-Cam, look what you’ve done to hip-hop: Pink is the new blue.

-Let me find out this is how one of my favorite emcees is spending his retirement.

-Unbeknownst to many, Chris Rock predicted O.J. Simpson’s book title nine years ago. Who woulda thunk it?

-Rising producer J.R. Rotem signs with Epic, launches own label.

-New Clipse video interview. These brothers are very articulate.

-Exploring crack rap in hip-hop.

Rant: From what I gather, 4 major rap releases have leaked in the last 2 days. Is the music industry self-destructing or what? Note to IDJ: Whatever you do, do not leak Nas’ Hip-Hop is Dead. I mean, it’s already bad enough that Jay got to shoot his video in Europe while Nasir only gets $200 for his.

    links posted on another blog site…i didn’t want to drop a name on the rap up, but smoking section’s Nov. 30th post has it listed in the comments.
    i haven’t listened yet and don’t know if i will. i listened to the Jay before it dropped and it’s mediocrity made me not want to buy it…and i didn’t.
    i dunno if i’d rather be tricked or save the cash…

    Good for Rotem I didn’t know he did ‘Best friend’ for Olivia, I thought that was a hi-tek beat…hmm..

    The links are crazy. I guess this might bring about some kind of revolution as far as music esp. hip hop is concerned. It’ll be interesting to see what happens in the coming years.

    The beats i heard off the k-fed album were hot as, just the rapping and image were beyond terrible lol.
    JR did the 2 best tracks off doctors advocate IMO, hes a real beast on the boards.

    In other news, i heard lil scrappy/young jeezys albums, which were both terrible imo, and then i heard mod defs, and it was pretty amazing, so ima cop it.
