In hip-hop news...
Elliott Wilson and Jimi Izrael have got the internet going nuts. Dope questions from Jimi, dope answers from Elliott.
Benzino loses it on JB from Ozone Magazine. Allhiphop argues there's two sides to every story (link via Jay). Cause calling someone a slut monkey could have many different interpretations.
The Saturday Night Live "Narnia" hip-hop track/skit is getting big-time buzz. I wondered if that might happen when I saw it. It manages to spoof hip-hop without taking the usual white-people-with-raised-eyebrows-cleverly-clowning-hip-hop-route that annoys the hell out of me (and other writers). And musically it's not bad, in an early Beastie Boys kinda way. My first thought was: if these two wack dudes from SNL can record a decent track, what's wrong with half the hip-hop industry? (Note: this doesn't mean SNL is funny again, cause it's not. And it damn well needs to be. For the love of god, you are SNL. Step up your game. Jon Stewart has you licked.)
Very long (but well-done, I hear) article on Biggie's murder in the current Rolling Stone (link via Ian).
Check out this interview with Saigon (link via Hattie). Saigon is one of my favorite rappers right now. But I wanna know: where the funk is his album? I am getting sick of Warning Shots (I have bumped it so much) and I want the new shit. I also want an interview. Holler.
