Rap Attack takes a "WHAT'S UPPER" look this week with:

Kazzeo (KHDC-CA): "So Method Man got busted for weed this week. Gee, this shocked me just about as much as if Cypress Hill got busted for transporting bongs.

Sad news this week as I saw an interview on Allhiphop.com with Charlie 2Na saying that Jurassic 5 has broken up. Maybe this is something that was already out there and I missed it but oh well. This really bummed me out since I've been a fan of J5 since day one. I remember being in LA back in 94 and Chino (Q) who worked at Def American back in the day had original copies of "Unified Rebelution" in his trunk and hit me off with them. Not the version that came out on TVT / Blunt mind you. I'm talking about the super rare, yellow label. Without a doubt, one of the many trreasures in my collection.

Soprano's gave us another great episode this past week. Tony's "curb stomp" was awesome. I laughed my ass off when Tony noticed a tooth in the cuff of his pants when he was in the therapy sessions and nonchalantly removed it. AJ's actions solidified what I always knew. When you're into a super hot Latin chick and she kicks you to the curb, you will go insane. But him trying to kill himself was hilarious. He couldn't even do that right. What a loser. Paulie Walnuts is about to get taken out. 2 episodes left. The violence better step up"...

D-Tragic (805HipHop.com): "What it Do Family Members? Thanks for all the support you guys are showing me! Big Ups TO Chris Roker of Spin Doctors Music Group for supportin The New Tash Single feat. Fameus "COMING CLOSER" Thanks for coming out to "THE CONNECT"! Be on the lookout for new artists from Take Over Records: Original Sin - Fameus - Savion –

We got mad props for The New Mike Jones "My 6-4" from the partygoers. People said that "My 6-4" was being played alot on local radio waves and were Happy to hear it in the club now! The new Mike Jones Project will be a favorite out in our market "The 805"

New Single "POP LOCK AND DROP IT" by Baby Huey is still continuing to keep the club off the hook. You should see what happens when that track hits. ALL the ladies love this track! Did you see the new dance move. People are submitting vides of how to Poplock and Drop it to Baby Hueys Website.

Another new young Artist from KOCH (THE MOST REPRESENTING INDEPENDENT RIGHT NOW IN THE GAME) is making huge moves across the cali area right now! His name is Yung Berg. The new track "SEXY LADY" has beeen getting the most requests on air and in the club as of now. Be sure to check out Yung Berg. Definitly a new cats who is making huge waves everywhere from LA to the Bay"...

Nesto (WODU-VA): "What up people? The weather it starting to become a little more stable for the time of year we are in, but I have a bad feeling the Hurricane season is going to nasty this year. I'm looking forward to warmer weather, but not looking forward to walking out in the morning into 90% humidity after taking a shower and ending up in a puddle of sweat again.. ahhhh.. the joys of living in VA in the summer.

Got a question for everyone out there. With the cutback on servicing of vinyl from the labels to blasting MP3s and setting up webpages with MP3s for servicing, how has that affected you as a DJ? Has it taken away the feel of doing radio for you? Do you get the same excitement to spin the newest MP3 versus the newest piece of vinyl?"...

EarthQuake (Live365.com): "Happy Birthday to my son Kevin who just turned 1!!!!!! Can you believe it’s been a year? What a year it’s been too!!! Check the pictures on www.myspace.com/quake551...

Solo (WECI-IN): "I am calling my reporting days to a close. Numerous reasons apply, but the main one is my family needs me right now. My wifes stress level is thru the roof and my daughters autism is wreckin havoc. I am moving into my new house at the end of this month and I have a feeling I will be without internet for a while. Verizon is some slow ass bitches. As far as radio goes, I still plan on rockin the airwaves like always, but you know as I do the music industry isn't the same anymore. Hit me up any time and take care"...
