Nas & Damian Marley: As We Enter
There was nothing intrinsically wrong with ‘Strong Will Continue’ the first leak of the Nas & Damian Marley collaboration ‘Distant Relatives’. But it wasn’t Nas & Damian going back and forth over a Mulatu Astatke sample like the snippet we heard somewhere in the summer of ’09. Now the full version has arrived and my repeat button will soon break down. These events are certainly related. More (including tracklist & production credits) after the jump.

Here’s the Top 100 broken down by year.

NBA for Whites
BUAHAHAHAHA! Did you hear about this so-called all-white basketball team for “fundamentally sound white players.” Why stop there? Why not take it a step further and establish a league for whites? It will be just like the NBA but for light skinned people with no negro dialect. You’re only allowed to shoot from 3-point line. Slam dunks will be outlawed. Offenders are assessed a fine and locked up in a dark room with Ron Artest for 24 hours.
