For no good reason, Diddy is in the studio, working on a new album:
Around 1:05?!?!? That beat is fucking ridiculous! I'm sorry. The sad thing is, Diddy is gonna piss on the track and make it stale. That could be some seriously monumental shit. Beats like that make me wish BIG was still here...

Ice Cube "Jackin' 4 Beats"
Enjoy the long weekend!
The Joker's Mortal Kombat vs. DC Fatality?!?!
No word on this being in the final version, but I kind of doubt it - I heard the DC Comics heads were not trying to show its characters in a bad light - if The Joker can play merk than REALLY merk someone, that's a crazy look!Via KKZ.
Madlib ft. Poke "The Ox (805)"
Madlib ft. Poke "The Ox (805)": Fresh new freshness from 'Lib's King Of The Wigflip album, which drops on BBE on September 30th. This album is gonna be fierce!Shouts to Adam for the link/cover.
Meet McCain's VP
What do you think about McCain's choice of Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska? She was a hottie back in the day, right?!?!?Kind of ironic that she has less experience than Barack Obama does...
Shouts to Enigmatik for that Cafferty link, and for Perpetuum for saying the exact same shit like an hour before I saw this...

Latarian Milton x Juan Epstein
Cipha Sounds & Peter Rosenberg interviewed the lil' homey, Latarian Milton. And I am in heaven. Here's the full 18-minute interview from their show. Lil' Latarian endorses Barack Obama for president, and he loves women, too. Holla!
[video] Chubb Rock "We Believe"
This song is apart of the Democratic campaign and it is prequel material to Chubb Rock & Wordsmith's "Bridging the Gap" Album Coming Soon!!! Look for numerous short movies from both artists leading up to their album dropping.
Shouts to Wordsmith for hitting me with this. Good to see Chubb Rock still doing the damn thing, especially for a positive cause.
EDIT: I've updated this with the full version, which didn't come over all the way previously...
[video] T-Baby "It's So Cold In The D"
This is like one of those car wreck situations. I mean, the intention is there... but, no:
Shouts to Perpetuum for making me watch this.

[video] KRS-One, Talib Kweli & Buckshot On Rap City
Three dons dropping some monumental shit in the booth:
Rukus "Amnesia (Intro)"
Rukus "Amnesia (Intro)": Rukus has done done it; he's gone and leaked the intro to his recently released album, Can't Forget (which I STILL need to find the time to review - my bad, bro). And it's sick...This may be a little untraditional, but I wanted to leak the intro of my CD ("Amnesia") out to the masses. For all the people that don't know who the heck Rukus is, what the new album "Can't Forget" is about, and just want to hear something different...I think they can get a taste of that with this leak. Its loud, different, and real. I'm tired of doing freestyles...I want people to hear songs, messages, and music with meaning...I feel like most artists are just rhyming words right now. But what are they trying to do...its more than music to me. My album is about not forgetting where you came from, where you're going and what you're trying to achieve. - RUKUS
Do you want more? Go grab the CD, NOW!

Black ELement "Presidential Paradise" (prod. by BBoySpaz): As is now standard for these Missing EL's, let Black tell you a lil about this cut right here:"Whenever I had a bad day as a kid, like any other child I would drift away into my own fantasy world where everything I wanted was available to me. I revisit that world of total freedom and no limits as a adult, where I'm in charge and there are no rules. If I was on a island and could take a few things..."
I wish I was in a fantasy world right NOW! Lovin' the track. You can also catch Black spittin' a slick 16 for 2ManyMCs.com.
