- Ghetto Revival?: RZA puts rappers on blast for glamorizing drugs and violence, adds, “How you gonna tell me it’s cool to live in the ghetto?”
- Stick to the issues: Russel Simmons defends Hip Hop, tells Obama to look deeper then the lyrics and focus on the real problems of poverty and race they’re addressing.
- Rock, not Rap: DJ Mark Ronson says rappers aren’t as wild as rockers, “Hip-hop’s a bit tame really; it’s just champagne and weed. Rockers are all tequila and hard drugs.”
- Big dog now: Bow Wow grows up and hopes to be the next LL.
- Is this why he’s hot?: MIMS, which stands for Music Is My Saviour, says his flow is the embodiment of many rap styles, “I think the diversity has been what has allowed me to separate myself (from other rappers) and stand out on my own.”
- The Grand Kerfuffle: Mos Def rocks the University of Utah.
