Rap Sheet: Kanye Gets Fingered By Comedians
Throw your hands up: Comedian duo Barats and Beret put the “Daft Hands” video to shame with their Kanye West’s “Stronger” rendition.
Green lighted: Complex caught up with DJ Green Lantern to discuss Murda, squashing beef with 50, and why Hip Hop’s been disappointing lately.
Facing the music: The Black Crowes weren’t the only ones to get shafted by Maxim and get a review of their album without it even getting listened to. Nas’ N*gg*r LP also suffered a similar fate, but he ain’t sweating it, “That kind of stuff doesn’t reach my radar or effect anybody around me. I don’t know what a music rating from Maxim is . . . I don’t know what it even means really.”
On the house: Miss Info hit Smirnoff’s signature remixer event and has some vids of Qtip, Common, and KRS One performing.
Win-win: This past Monday was the Hip Hop Summit Action Network awards dinner at Capitale. Pharrell gave Snoop the best introduction, “The next time they start attacking a legend, even if it’s because he smokes, I say, 'So what?’ Willie Nelson smokes a lot of pot, and people only talk about the good he does, like Farm Aid. When they come down on Snoop [for drugs], remind everyone about all the positive things he does.”
