“I see a lot of talking on twitter” were the words of Flex to me. I was like “Who?” He said “I see Dizaster and Mook exchanging words, I jumped in real quick” as to let them know their back and forth jabs are not going unnoticed. Then we found ourselves watching some classic battles and many recent ones(S/O to SMACK & the URL spent many days on their Youtube page, along with some from KOTD, Grindtime, Fight Klub). This became a re-occuring thing, daily battles were being talked about and watched on the net. When I say everyday I mean everyday. To the point that it was like “Yo, I got a site and I want to put a list together” I’m like “copy cool.” Which brings us here, this is not a top 50 in order, it’s a list of battles that were watched. With the explosion of Battle Rap after Canibus Vs. Dizaster and Loaded Lux Vs. Calicoe, we seemed to have battles on the forefront of other things. This is his list (your opinion doesn’t matter as to who was missed on the list and why he chose who he chose) and be clear that it is subject to change (more battles are being watched as I write this). Some dudes will get cut off the list and the list will be updated. I’m sure you will enjoy watching…

WHOA! DJ Khaled’s “Take It To The Head” Video Cost HOW Much To Make?!
Last night, a majority of the YMCMB camp took over 106 & Park to dish all on the things they have going on at the label. Birdman, Mack Maine, Shanell, DJ Khaled, Jay Sean, Jae Millz, Chris Richardson and Lil Chuckee were all in the building and premiered Shanell’s new video with Weezy and Drake, made some big announcements about upcoming projects and more. Of the announcements, the price tag on Khaled’s crazy video for “Take It To The Head” really stood out. It’s insane! Watch his segment below and find out just how much he shelled out for it!

4 Reasons Lil Wayne Is DEAD Wrong For His NY Comments…& 4 Reasons Why We Totally Feel Him [Shout To @OldManEbro!]
Earlier this week while talking to MTV in Las Vegas at the Magic Convention (he was unveiling his new shoe with Supra), Lil Wayne said that he “flat out” doesn’t like New York. He wasn’t all hyped up, he wasn’t saying it with extreme conviction and/or hatred…he just simply said he’s not a fan of the Big Apple. Myself being a NJ native…which by default pretty much makes me a New Yorker since I work there, hang there, date there, etc…didn’t think twice about it. Wayne’s personal opinion holds no bearing on my life. Birdman came out the next day to co-sign his “son’s” feelings, but he wasn’t really saying anything bad either. He just basically said whatever Wayne dislikes, I’ll dislike it too. That’s a loyalty thing, that’s not an F NYC thing. Those that know me are going to think I’m riding the Young Money bandwagon as I have great relationships with many of the roster, but this has NOTHING to do with that. To be fair, however, I’m going to break down exactly WHY Wayne was wrong for what he said, but also, why you should cut him some slack. Thank you to Hot 97 programming director Ebro for help with the songs! In…
