1. The Importance of sending Feedback

2. Your TOP 30 chart will now go Top 40 but why aren't you sending in your chart?

3. Are you breaking NEW Hip-Hop on your show?

4. What happened to my MIXTAPE DJ's?

5. How much are you involved with your school?

6. Can we set up artists to perform at your school?

7. BRANDING the name "RAP ATTACK" or "RAPATTACKLIVES.COM"

8. Anyone still down with vinyl only?

9. Who's on SERATO?

10. Are CD singles important or are MP3's important to get airplay?

RAP ATTACK will shut down for the Holiday season on December 9th (last day to report) & back on January 13, 2010 (1st day to report). Also debuting on Monday, January 18, 2010 our weekly Rap Attack Top 30 chart will now expand to a Top 40 chart. So our DJ's will now be able to chart & break 10 more Hip-Hop singles on their ALL NEW Rap Attack Top 40 chart!...

WE'VE GOT SOME OF THE WORLD'S BEST DJ's! THE RAP ATTACK DJ'S! GET TO KNOW OUR DJ's BY LOGGING ONTO:
www.MySpace.com/RapAttackLives  AND PEEP OUR UPDATED PHOTO PAGE...

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

DJ Sage (CFRO-Vancouver): "We started off by featuring a couple tracks from the new A.G. & O.C. album, "Oasis" on Nature Sounds. This is one that was heavily anticipated by the Urban Renewal Project crew and it is a quality disc just as we expected. If you know what's up with Diggin' In The Crates, you won't wanna miss this album. These two MCs have been on the top of their game as long as I can remember and they keep it up on this one.
Do it!

We kept our month of epic guests rolling tonight with the legendary Bronx duo, Camp Lo. We were first by Sonny Cheeba and then by Geechi Suede. We discussed their original merger, the parental influence on their eclectic music and their new album "Another Heist". We also tried to pry some info from Suede about some new projects that are in the works, but plans have to be kept under wraps for the time being. They involve some big producers though, so stay tuned! Keep up to date with Camp Lo at www.CampLo.net.

There was a lot of great music being played tonight as well as a fair share of venting. Make sure you check out the podcast, available shortly on www.UrbanRenewalProject.net. We are also in the middle of our pledge drive at Co-Op radio, which means we are taking donations, however small or large they may be. Just visit www.CoOpRadio.org and donate, but don't forget to specify the Urban Renewal Project as the show you'd like to contribute to! As a thank you download this new URP Radio/Finale Design CD mixed by DJ Sage.

Kazzeo (KHDC-CA): "Change is good. I'm in a good mood actually since the Raider finally benched Shamarcus Russell and let Bruce Gradowski handle business. No doubt we put in work this past Sunday against the Bengals but now we gotta go into the heart of Texas on Thursday to knock off the Cowgirls. Without a doubt I'm super hyped for this weeks game. LET'S GO RAIDERS!

Nothing funnier than seeing J-Lo bust her ass on the American Music Awards. Nice.

Tila Tequila sex tape? Carmen Electra sex tape? Looks like Ol' Kazz has some shopping to do.

Hope every had a Happy Thanksgiving.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDRANIK!!!!"...
 

Nate Abney (WKDU-PA): "Listened to the Rakim album and I love it. You can't tell me he is the greatest emcee of all time. The oldheads are keeping it interesting. KRS & Buckshot, Ras Kass. Looking forward to ending the year with a bang. Oh yeah check track 9 on JJ Brown's Connect The Dots pure fire. Nittany Lions headed to the BCS. Eagles beat the Bears and the Sixers still stink"...

Chill Will (WCBN-MI): "What's up People? Had a dope night of Hip Hop with Brother Ali and Evidence in town at the Blind Pig. They had the crowd rocking along with Toki Wright and BK-One who also did there thing. It's been feeling like the 90's all over again with all the Hip Hop shows. The artists are rocking venues were their up close and personal with the audience. Packed to capacity and hot as hell inside(LOL). Those were the days. I'm usually not a winter person (living in Michigan go figure) but, we have some dope shows coming up. Themselves, Eyedeas and Abilities, Capone & Noreaga, Reakwon the Chef. December's not gonna be half bad. For more information about me DJ Chill Will go to www.myspace.com/djchillwill734...
 

Vernassa Feilds (Spyn Cycal): "Spyn Cycal will be merging with an organization that I founded called "A Penny For Your Thoughts: Military Mental Health Initiative... Everything will remain the same except the website.

Spyn Cycal Raydio will still be up, and play lists will still be coming in, but this time the music will be for a much greater purpose.

This is a project that I have been sitting on for about 4 years out of fear, but I finally got the courage to follow through with it.

I am planing big things for the music as it pertains to this project. Music has been my life since I was a child, and now I have a chance to utilize my passion for music in such a way as to provide our servicemen and women with what they need to continue to serve this country long after their military service is completed...
