Marvin Isley, the bass backbone of his sibling band The Isley Brothers, died today in Chicago at age 56. The cause of death has not yet been announced, though Isley suffered from diabetes severe enough to have caused him to leave the band in 1997. His condition led to the eventual amputation of both legs. (R.I.P.)...

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

Jason-D (RadioBoise.Org): "I know many of you are disgusted and frustrated like me about the BP oil spill. One thing I did not learn until today is that this pipe leaking all the oil is only 20 inches in diameter. That's like your toilet. With all the modern miracles of science and technology, we can't cap a toilet?!?! Damn"...

Chill Will (WCBN-MI): "What's up People? Gonna be a short, trying to make it to a record release party during rush hour. Found a couple good things on tv, or kind of. The NBA Finals no brainer. And The VH1 Hip Hop honors were they honored the south on this show. Brought back memories but!!!! And yes I had a Miami Hurricane jacket(favorite college team)back in the day. Why did the 2 Live Crew rhyme over there vocals and why the Yankees hat. Wasn't a good look but you gotta respect them for the road they paved. And no one mentioned Outkast, Goodie Mob, Geto Boys, 8Ball MJG, Uncle Al and Pastor Troy who were early pioneers. But okay shout to DJ Savvv who's in town. For more information about me DJ Chill Will go to www.myspace.com/djchillwill734 or www.twitter.com/chillwill734 "...

Shareef Abdullah (WRFL-KY): "Peace fam...this week in the mix we add new bangers by D-Sisive dropping his new single "West Coast" (Remix) featuring Moka Only, a breezy ode to the coast that is undeniably the toast. Next up is the mighty return of the first lady of the flipmode, Rah Digga. Her dope new single, "This Ain't No Lil' Kid Rap" is definitley relevant to the times. Verbal Kent comes up nicely with a Illmind beat on the solid "Examples," Canadian emcee Arabesque drops a remarkable soul sample on the impressive "Understand," and rounding things off is L.A.J. with his banging new single "The Drama Way." Thanks to all who are providing the heat!! Peace and be safe"...

Nate Abney (WKDU-Philly): "Another week of championships and such. My Flyers trying to hang on hopefully we get Game 6. The NBA Finals will probably go 7 games.Bilal and Erykah Badu's show was nice(thanks Jess), what a relief from the everyday grind. Out for now speak to everyone next week"..

DJ Sage (CFRO-Vancouver, BC): "Back again, brightening the airwaves like only we can! We skipped the Double Shot this week and got right into the music! We played tons of tunes from Jadakiss, Frank 'N Dank, Statik Selektah, Royce Da 5'9, Big Boi and plenty more...

We were then joined one half of the Michigan duo, Frank 'N Dank, Frank Nitt. If you're up on J. Dilla (R.I.P.), you know all about what the boys are about.
