Lil Wayne's Interview on Hot 97
Lil Wayne Speaks on His kids, Speaks on living a sober life with no drinking, no smoking. Talks about retiring at 35, and how he wants Drake and Nicki to surpass his success. Over all I think this was a good interview, its different hearing Wayne w/o the slur, but he was very honest about babymamas, and different situations. Check out the Interview Below

Lupe Fiasco still held a Top 10 position. The Chicago, Illinois emcee may have had his share of disagreements with Atlantic Records over the content and direction of his third album, Lasers, however the work is fast approaching 300,000 units sold. Lupe's album features label-mate Trey Songz and longtime 1st & 15th singer Sarah Green.
For the first week, Floetry alum Marsha Ambrosious' long-delayed solo debut slipped out of Top 10 rankings.

Remembering Freaky Tah From the Lost Boyz
Over the years it seems that Senseless violence has become way to familiar in Hip Hop. Just recently we lost Dj Megatron to a "Random" act of violence. Its starting to seem like every month we have a remembrance for one of our fallen brothers. Today we would like to shine light on Lost Boyz Member Freaky Tah. Some would say he didn't rap, he was just a hype man, but if you don't understand what a good hype man does, then 9 times out of 10 You don't understand Hip Hop. Freaky Tah's adlibs, and antics on stage definitely were one of the best next to Flava Flav, Spliff Star, and of course the great Eddie Cheeba. Take some time check out the video below. Read up on the wiki info below the vid, and remember it's bigger than music. We must support and remember all those who have given to this great art form called hip hop.
Salute.
WiKi:
Raymond Rogers (May 14, 1971 – March 28, 1999), better known as Freaky Tah, was an MC, hype man and promoter. Freaky Tah was a member of a hip hop group called the Lost Boyz, together with Mr. Cheeks, DJ Spigg Nice and Pretty Lou.
On the night of March 28, 1999, at fellow Lost Boyz member Mr Cheeks' 28th birthday party, Freaky Tah was shot in the back of his head while he was going towards the exit of Sheraton Hotel. He was pronounced dead at about 4:20 AM, after being rushed to nearby Jamaica Hospital.The getaway driver, Raheem Fletcher, was sentenced to 7 years in prison. It was also revealed that a man named Kelvin Jones was the killer. Jones pleaded guilty to murder. Freaky Tah was 27 years old at the time of his death

Backpackrap Throwback: Goodie Mob - Black Ice
Goodie Mob is a hip hop act based in Atlanta, Georgia that formed in 1991 and currently consists of members Cee-Lo Green, Khujo, T-Mo and Big Gipp.
The group's name acts as a double backronym. As explained on the track "Fighting" on Soul Food, Goodie Mob means "the GOOD DIE Mostly Over Bullshit".
All four members were born in Atlanta, and the group is based there with the rest of the Dungeon Family, a collective which includes OutKast and P.A. (Parental Advisory). Goodie was first heard featured on several songs from OutKast's first album Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik.
Cee-Lo was the most visible member of the group prior to his departure in 2000 (among other projects, he is now recording in collaboration with DJ Danger Mouse as Gnarls Barkley), while Big Gipp has made several rounds on other Dungeon Family members' albums, and T-Mo and Khujo form a duo within the group called The Lumberjacks.
