Rap Attack takes a "WHAT'S UPPER" look this week with:
Bri-G (RPM Promo/Mixtapes-New York): "Sometimes a DVR is your best friend. Other times Lost runs 5 minutes late and the damn DVR cuts off just as your about to find out who the doctor is that’s taking care of Sayid, so you have to call a friend who of course is not picking up his phone to find out what the f#ck just happened. Eventually I got a hold of him and I found out, but it wasn’t the same as watching it. Can’t ABC account for an extra freakin’ 5 minutes in their schedule so my damn DVR doesn’t cut off.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who felt obligated to lead off his mixshow this weekend with Kanye’s Dear Mama performance live from the Grammy’s. It’s amazing the clarity you can get these days by just recording something off YouTube. Remember back in the day when you had to tape shit right from the TV into a mini disc recorder? Gotta love technology.

Speaking of the Grammy’s, I was shocked to find out how many people have no idea who Daft Punk is. If I hear, who were those guys pushing the buttons during the Kanye thing one more time, I may

So last Saturday I DJ'dt my usual Saturday night spot. It’s kind a mix of stock brokers, models, and other random rich people who pay $800 for a bottle of Goose. They all think they’re very cool, but you’d never know that from hearing the sets I have to play. I literally can’t play anything new. Nothing. I cleared the dancefloor with Ching-A-Ling. Completely cleared it. Let this be a lesson, older rich white people don’t like Ching-A-Ling…but they’ll go nuts for some Bob Sinclair. Don’t even get me started about how happy they get over OPP and Rump Shaker.

If I didn’t know that Diamond Girl was a Ryan Leslie song, I’d swear Teddy Riley was making a crazy comeback. At least he didn’t steal Teddy’s whole look like a certain Chicago R&B singer did to Teddy’s GUY band mate.

I fell for the marketing ploy and bought a Bowflex the other day. Little did I know, it comes in several hundred separate pieces. Would anyone like to come by and build it for me? My friend/landlord DJ Raize and I are very lazy so if somebody doesn’t come do it for us, it may remain in 5 separate boxes for the next few weeks.

I knew Roger Clemens was a filthy stinking rotten liar the day he signed with the Yankees and broke my heart. Now, we just have documented evidence to the fact. Thanks Roger.

Other documented facts from 2008 include:

The Knicks are terrible.

Universal Music will sign anyone with BDS spins.

The use of spell check is not big in the DJ community.

120 BPM is the new 72 BPM.

HipHopHits.net is like crack to a DJ...

DJ Sage (CFRO-Vancouver): "s that I have been a fan of now for like a decade. Firstly, we had Akrobatik from Boston talk about his approach to creating banging Hip-Hop and I am definitely looking forward to peeping his sophomore album "Absolute Value" on Fat Beats on Feb.19th. He guaranteed us that this album is going to be a Hip-Hop lovers favourite. In addition, we caught up with Planet Asia in between his many studio sessions and right before embarking on his upcoming European tour. Planet Asia has been repping Fresno hard for years releasing music that not only hits you in the head lyrically, but also makes you want to move your feet. So I highly recommend you peep this interview and check his back catalogue, his last album was "The Jewelry Box Sessions" while we wait for his next album"...

Raw-B (KUSF-San Francisco): "What up Peoples! This past Sunday was the 2 year anniversary of the passing of the late great James Yancey aka J-Dilla, so we paid tribute. Dude has an incredible catalouge and will be sorely missed for a long time. To hear the show and more of our past episodes, you can listen to our archives online courtesey of the True Skool Network.

D-Tragic (805HipHop.com): Man! Last week was hella dead for me with the move and everything, but this week is a lot better! My studio is almost back up. So get ready for some new Mixtapes coming out from D-Tragic/805HipHop.Com real soon! Commercial and Underground Mixtapes are on my schedule for now! Also, I am getting more Christian Hip-Hop (Look for Priesthood, Jeremiah the Prophet, Second Chance and Big Milla) that is sounding pretty dope! You know you gotta check those out. Nothing better than some DOPE Hip-Hop Music with a good message! Not trying to get you to go to church or anything, but this music DOES make a difference with all of the PopLockDroppin, Getting LOW & Bottle Poppin’ going on in the club and streets lately!

Last weeks call w/ GURU of GANGSTARR and SOLAR of 7 Grand Records was real informative! It was really dope to learn more about what GURU is up to, how he is feeling about the game, and to learn the real about SOLAR! (By the way, that’s my cousin’s name as well). I’m looking forward to building w/ 7Grand Records on their upcoming projects. Solar dropped some pretty cool names on their roster to look out for. I’ll be sure to keep up with Tasha Denham to keep us laced up with that fire they are putting out in 08!

People need to check out a real humble cat: S.O.U.L. PURPOSE w/ his new cut “Way That We Live” – People need to check out the movement SOUL PURPOSE has going down right now! AND THANKS FOR LETTING ME A NEW MEMBER OF SOUL PURPOSE! PEEP THE VIDEO RIGHT HERE: http://www.royillteeproductions.com/spotpages/Mazzivideofinal.html...

Edgie Kokoski (WUNH-NH): "WARNING: Neither of the links listed below are what I would call "work friendly". You have been warned.
If you have some free time and are looking for a good laugh, check out these graphs that represent some of Hip-Hop's more memorable songs:

They're so funny, maybe they will get signed to T.I's new Grand Hustle Comedy Division. Yep - you read it correctly. I think considering the bind he is in T.I. might want to consider seeking out legal talent rather than comedic talent. But then again I'm not sure who's running Grand Hustle's Comedy Division - T.I. or T.I.P. Which one took the rap for the lousy album sales?
If you are looking for another guffaw, check out this clever marketing ploy that one rap group used to grab exposure off of the Nas album title controversy:

Savvy (KSJS-San Jose): "Peace to MC Lyte for calling in and giving an awesome interview. She's a legend and inspiration on so many levels and it was a true honor to have her be a part of the show. We touched on the involvement of women in Hip-Hop, the direction of where Hip-Hop music going today, and also the different organizations she is involved with ( Make sure to check out Hip Hop Sisters on Myspace). Most importantly, her new project "Beautiful" with Almost September #1 on my charts. MC Lyte briefly mentioned a new album to soon be released, "Back to Lyte." Chicago's 3rd Rail (WNUR), AJ Woodson (TheBestJams.com), Chill Will (WCBN-MI) & DJ Frresh (KPSU-Portland) all have shared the experience of interviewing this legendary icon on their show. So keep your eyes for the LYTE and ears open yall'! Peace"...
