Tyga - Coconut Juice
I hope this becomes a big summer jam for '08, it would be such a vast improvement from Soulja Boy. But then again, what wouldn't?
Video featuring cameos from Travis McCoy (of Gym Class Heroes), Lil' Wayne and Pete Wentz.

Help Roger Waters Find His Pig!

As funny as this is, it's not a joke. Check here for more.

Hip-Hop CHESS Federation?
Believe it. Nice report from NBC 11 in the Bay Area, featuring RZA.
And of course, since RZA is involved, some element of martial arts is also included. Real interesting stuff!
Bizzy Bone feat. Joel Madden (of Good Charlotte) - I'm The One
I posted some new Bizzy on the right side a day or two ago, but this one is way more hot. And that took a lot for me to admit, considering this food from Horrendous Charlotte is on it.

Slim Thug going back on his grind.
Thugga says he's working out a deal to get out of the major label so he can start releasing his shit on his own once again. The whole story's here, but this quote just about sums it up:
"If I'm supposed to be the mutha----ing boss, then I should be putting my [own] sh-- out," he explained.

Jermaine Dupri announces TAG Records
That's right, folks. A joint venture between JD, Def Jam, and TAG body spray. Another half-baked idea to try to break the system. We'll see if it works. Read more about it here.
Bill O'Reilly calls Snoop a "Pinhead"
Mr. O'Reilly loooves to hate on rappers. To be fair, however, that is some ridiculous shit coming out of Snoop's yapper.
Cops crash DMX frat concert at IU
Doesn't that headline sound like something you made up on Mad Libs?
The whole front row at Lambda Chi Alpha's DMX concert/party got maced after the show didn't end on time. IU cops are so lame. Bellyflop kicks Little Five in the ass, by the way.
J-Dubb, is this what it looked like when you were there a couple weeks back?
Read the whole story here.
