Rap Attack takes a "WHAT'S UPPER" look this week with:
Dan Shores (WHRW-NY): "Peace and Blessings from CPP Marketing and Promotion. I'd just like to personally thank all of the RapAttackLives.com DJ's and readers for their support with Cymarshall Law's single "Addiction." Cymarshall Law (see photo above) has been very busy traveling with the Vans Warped Tour. The dates for the tour and the upcoming Rawkus 50 show are at myspace.com/cymarshalllaw. Yes yall Cymarshall Law is one of the Rawkus 50 emcees, please swing by his myspace page and show him some love and let him know you saw it on RapAttackLives.com!!!"...

Jason-D (RadioBoise.Org): "Let me start by announcing the re-launch of www.djjasond.com. The main purpose of the change up was to simplify the site and create an archive of my shows. They now stream in MP3 and will play thru itunes if that's your default mp3 player. Check it out and let me know what you think. Speaking of shows, I had to flash it back this week and played mostly mid-90's boom bap"...

Bri-G (Mixtape/RPM-New York): "What up ya’ll. Long time no hear from, I know. I’m finally done with the Pepsi Superstar DJ Contest. In case you were wondering, the finalists are:
Atlanta – Infamous
Birmingham – Jukebox
Chicago – Dolla Bill
Cleveland – Spare Change
Detroit – Steady Rock
Los Angeles – Bedz
Miami – Wal Gee
New York – Jack Da Ripper
New Orleans – Lucky
Philadelphia – 187
St. Louis – AJ
Washington D.C. – Jeyone

Well, as many of you may have noticed, we’re not really working records at RPM these days. So basically, instead of putting my priorities up here every week, I’m gonna throw up some things I think you should hear. These can be remixes, new records, or just random things I’ve come across that I want to put people up on. Also, I don’t care how much J Grand asks me, The Cupid Shuffle will never make an appearance on this list.

As I’ve been on the road for pretty much the entire summer, I’ve been really out of the loop as far as what’s going on in our world so my opinions are a little limited right now. Give me a week though and next Friday I will be back to put in a little more work.

For now, I’d like you to watch the footage from our NYC Pepsi DJ Event hosted by DJ Enuff. I’d like to call this “Hip Hop’s Last Stand”. This was easily the single greatest night in my life and to think that I contributed in any way to put this together still puts a smile on my face. You will never see a greater lineup of pure Hip Hop on the stage at one time in your life. Especially, when nobody's getting a check for it"...

Nate Abney (WKDU-PA): "Well very humid this week and man was it humid. Props to Barry Bonds on breaking Hank Aaron's record. And
for all those people hatin let's put this in perspective. Babe Ruth's numbers may be a little tainted because after all the Negro League players weren't allowed to play in the Majors then right. So I guess everybody pre-Jackie Robinson has tainted numbers. No props to Bud Selig for his ho-hum response when Bonds tied the record. From All-Star games ending in a tie to Pete Rose to Barry Bonds what a horrible job.

On another note Common album is good, like Guru's too. Keep the good music coming. And to all you people out there stop asking what kind of music I listen too when I say I don't like a record. You want honest feedback so I give it. If you don't want honest feedback don't ask me. I should not have to justify my opinion if I say I don't like a record AFTER I have listened to it. I could change my mind sometimes and sometimes maybe not. I could throw a lot of stuff into the Schuylkill River on my way to work but I don't, I try to give each record a chance. Some things work for me some don't, but at the end of the day it's just my opinion and everybody has one. So till next week"...
 

DJ E-Nygma (WBRS): "It's already August, and while I'm fresh off a weekend in DC (97 degrees there, 67 degrees in Boston right now... I'm disappointed), we've got new music, new charts, and fresh gripes, one of which I will be quickly ranting about in the following paragraph (feel free to skip, you have been warned).

I happened to catch the MTV "special" listing the Top 10 Hottest MCs in the game right now, and, after getting physically sick while watching, and feeling an urgent need to pray for Sway's soul (is this really the same guy who had me sneaking around tape-recording off a friend's radio so I could stay up on current episodes of "The Wake Up Show"??? Really??? This same guy is gesticulating for the cameras at the TRL studios and barely smirking as he raises the pitch in his voice while talking earnestly about Jim Jones on a Top 10 list???)... I came to the following conclusions:

·          Lil' Wayne has fooled an entire generation of idiot savant hip hop "fans", and has a lot of so-called experts, writers, cognoscenti, and the like drinking the kool-aid more efficiently than that other Jim Jones. Really, some of his stuff is solid, a lot of it is empty pandering and vacuous wordplay... but c'mon... he's undisputedly the hottest MC out right now? In 2007? In America, let alone the entire planet? Really???

·          The only person to vocally and consistently stand up for Andre 3000's place on this list is one of the on-air hosts for MTV Radio??? Out of a panel of 10 people???

·          ...and another point: MTV has a radio station??? That plays hip hop???

·          Buttahman, who used to be a go-to guy as far as supporting local hip-hop and overlooked/underappreciated MCs and artists back in the day when he was at 92Q/WERQ in Baltimore, has given up all semblance of doing anything that strays from the party line... first, he's actively championing some cats based on having "ridiculous swagger"? And he's hosting a show called "Hood Fab" that cuts into otherwise (read: sometimes) decent blocks of videos on MTV Jams? Buttah is not really representing Charm City that nicely at the moment...

Anyway, new music from Camp Lo (Sonny Cheeba and Geechi Suede are back, so all discussions of "who have the most swagger" should have ceased T-minus 20 minutes ago), Tru-Paz, N.O.R.E., and more. Fresh Top 30 for you, courtesy of the kind folk who send us music (some of y'all have swagger...); grazie, much appreciated.

As always, the complaints department and accounts payable are one and the same, and can be reached at djenygma@gmail.com or hiphop@wbrs.org. I even reply to people telling me I'm wrong about something I said above (you and I both know that isn't the case, but my mom taught me to be polite, so you will get a response"...
 

Papa-D (WRBB-Boston): "Peace everybody....Papa D here, fresh off a plane from Seattle....I got to see the Red Sox win 2 out of 3 against the Mariners, which was dope....I also got to check out the dope Experience Music Project museum where they had a special exhibit on the first ten years of Hip-Hop complete with stage clothes from DMC, Busy Bee and more, and other classic materials....and the Northwest music hall there had a dope section on Hip-Hop with a big ol picture of Nasty Nes.....peace to Nastymix Records! Anyway, check out www.papadpromo.com for a dope new Raheem Jamal song from the 'Boombox' album called "The Thang"...

Ahan "The Golden Child" (WRSU-NJ): "Just to update you I'm still doing my show, I just found out today that the Mailbox Etc/UPS store where I had my mail going closed down. I wanted to know if you can let any record reps who might of received any return mail from me in the past, that they can resend to the following address, this also be our new address going forward:

Edgie Kokoski (WUNH-NH): "Pretty slow week for your man as I finally enjoyed some peace and quiet for the first time in several weeks. I took in the movie “Sicko” this past weekend. If you haven’t seen it yet, I’d recommend checking it out before it bounces from theaters. Still need to catch “The Simpsons”, but the mixed reviews I keep hearing make me cautious.

If you’re looking for some dope background music, I strongly suggest Evidence’s “Red Tape Instrumentals”. I copped it on Saturday and it hasn’t left the car since. My favorite song right now has got to be Little Brother’s “Good Clothes”. Especially the part about dudes wearing leather jackets in hot clubs and chicks with the “muffin tops”. Hilarity! I’ve attached the mp3 for your listening enjoyment.

 Five game lead now…how much longer will it be before the Red Sox complete their inevitable slide and let the Yanks cruise past? I’d sell Wily Mo Pena’s soul to the devil to have that 10 game lead back…I guess it’s almost that time of year when football recaptures my heart despite the Red Sox’ attempts to break it. At least “Hell’s Kitchen” never gets boring"...

Adam Lowenstein (WMHB-ME): "Sorry to be out of touch the last two weeks--I was out of town for a while and didn't have consistent email access. I spent part of the time in DC, where it hit record temps of 103. Glad to be back in Denver for a few weeks without the humidity, before I head back to school at the end of month. I'll be back on air beginning September 6th. I'm still catching up on emails, etc., so it might be a minute before I can hit everyone back with feedback on new joints from the last few weeks. Let me know if you need anything from WMHB! Peace"...

D-Tragic (805HipHop.com): "Just wanted to let you all know I just posted the pics from the BumSquad Reunion on the 805HipHop.Com website! The event wa soff the hook! Be sure to check out the pics. Another good week has passed by with new DOPE cuts being added. Did you pick up your copy of Public Enemy’s new album today!  “How to sell Soul to Souless people who soled their soul” -Another dope add of our top 5 is Roc-C OhNo feat. Chino XL “LIKE WHAT”. You need to peep this track. This is just one of the newest singles coming from that project on Lyger Records. Hit me up if you need the new single! Its HOTT!! So be tuned in to the 805HipHop.Com website for more when it drops! We just put up a new session from The World Famous Wakeup Show with King Tech and Sway. They have been giving Roc-C and OhNo a lot of love on air…Go to 805HipHop.Com and click Listen Now!!"...

The Wonder Twinz (SIRIUS): "Immortal Technique is currently on the road all over the country along with a few other dope emcee’s in his crew…. They are currently on the road as part of the rock the bells tour and they are interested in building with you in regard to radio interviews, magazine write-ups, video show interviews, extra live shows, track features, etc….
