What's Upper? 

Happy Memorial Day as RAP ATTACK remembers our troops who lost their life & fought for us to give us freedom!. What a week! Bret Michaels is our new "Celebrity Apprentice," Nicole Scherzinger & Derrick are new "Dancing With The Stars" champs and  Lee DeWyze is this years' "American Idol!"...

It's the Lakers vs Boston in the NBA Playoff Finals this Thursday!...

Rashaad defeats Rampage in UFC 114 last Saturday & my boys L.A.J., YSL & Arash & I had a fun night watching the fights (see photo above)...

Rap Attack remembers Gary Coleman (February 8, 1968 – May 28, 2010). Gary Coleman has passed away from injuries he suffered from a fall at
home. Coleman, 42, had been in a coma after suffering a brain hemorrhage, and his wife, Shannon, decided to stop life support. The former child star of "Diff'rent Strokes" had family and friends by his side at the Utah hospital. And we also remember actor Dennis Hopper, whose portrayals of drug-addled, often deranged misfits in the landmark films "Easy Rider," "Apocalypse Now" and "Blue Velvet" drew on his early out-of-control experiences as part of a new generation of Hollywood rebel, died at his home in Venice, Calif., on Saturday, according to reports. He was 74...

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

Chill Will (WCBN-MI):What's up people? Rock the Bells just announced there line up, and if you haven't seen it. It's ridiculous. WU, Rakim, KRS-1 and a host of other. Definitely check for it and the homie Big Sean from the D. Gotta support ya know. It's finally getting hot and the clubs are packed. So shout to everyone who's been following me up and down I-94 it's much appreciated. For more information about me DJ Chill Will go to www.myspace.com/djchillwill734 or www.twitter.com/chillwill734 "...

DJ Sage (CFRO-Vancouver, BC):Hip-Hop fans are liking it in Vancouver these days. Since EPMD, Public Enemy and Reflection Eternal are hitting off shows this week, we decided it was only right to hit you in the head with a ton of tracks from these three legendary groups. If you're up on Hip-Hop, you'll be digging the tunes tonight!
We were also joined by Deep, one half of the NYC production duo, 2 Hungry Bros... We chopped it up about collaborations, past and upcoming projects as well as the best place to get a good meal, coast-to-coast. The Bros have been and continue to make big moves in the Hip-Hop realm and have probably worked with some of your favourite artists so get familiar! Make sure you check out 2 Hungry Bros on www.twitter.com/@2HungryBros  and www.Facebook.com/2HUNGRYBROS  and last but not least, http://2HungryBros.BandCamp.com

Like we said, we got into a ton of great tunes, many of which were EPMD and Reflection Eternal related, so we really couldn't go wrong now could we! This has been one of our best shows of the year so don't sleep! Don't sleep, and download the podcast at: www.UrbanRenewalProject.net  very shortly!"...
 

Shareef Abdullah (WRFL-KY):What up Hip-Hop fam! This week in rotation we add more heat, starting with Bomshot's ridiculous collabo with an incarcerated Max B. on "Ever See The Streets Again," that is what I call a dope hook up, no pun intended. 2nd is the nasty turntabilist joint "Strangest Secret" by the TX homie NickNack, dude really breaths life back into the art of making DJ inspired joints...and coming in third is the raucous banger "2 Kool 4 Skool" by Deuce Ellis, who gets mad props for dropping one of the illest chorues I've heard all year, "Hip Hop taught me more than my high school...Black man misunderstand viewed as a fool..." real talk! Until next time...keep the vinyl alive!! Peace & blessings"...

Savvy (KSJS-KDON- CA): Hay hay hay hay errbody hope all is well. lot's of shows this week to hit the Bay Area and also the Central Coast. Just yesterday, Talib Kweli and Hi Tek were performing at The Fillmore in SF while on tour for the new album, Revolutions Per Minute. Black Smith label mates, Strong Arm Steady also came out to peform with the fellas known as Reflection Eternal and the crowd was thick (show was almost sold out). The crowd really went bannanas when surprise guest Jacka came out to show some love to the SAS family. Peeps were in for a big treat though, because it did not stop there. When it came time for Reflection Eternal's encore, fans were hit with another surpise performance of "93 till Infinity" by none other then Bay Area veterans, Souls Of Mischief. Very dope to see the love between all these talented stars shared on one stage. That is what hip hop is about. Tommorow I am heading out to the Catalyst in Santa Cruz to check out Nneka perform with Nas and Damian Marley. Friday I head out once again to check Zion I perform with Erk The Jerk, and then after party at the Red Room in Santa Cruz with DJ Shea and DJ R-Cade for some funk, hip hop and reggae. Stop by our page and peep all the new music videos I have posted up from Statik Selektah & Consequence, Fashawn & Blu, and the Chosen Few. Have a blessed day everyone!"...
