The end of the week has arrived, and it ended with the Cavs losing to the Celtics in game 7. Shoutout to Lebron for putting up such an incredible fight. Who would have thought Pierce was gonna show up today? MTV showed up with their “Hottest MC’s” list this week too and it seems like everyone has their opinions on it. Nas made his rounds all through the press this week as well. Word is he changed the title of his album, i guess we’ll see what happens. Remy Ma got the news that shes gonna be property of the state of New York for 8 years and even the ‘victim‘ of the shooting was making her rounds on the radio. At least she didnt skip out on hospital bills like DMX did. Dissapointingly, rappers cant even co-sign their own albums anymore, while everyone is so caught up with the Suge knockout guy. Enjoy your 15 seconds of fame kid.
On the music side of things, Lloyd Banks came up short from the Top 5 but he made the cut for heat this week. N.E.R.D. hit us with a crazy remix and Lil Wayne got autotuned out of the biggest smash of the year and his own remix, by the hottest MC in the game, Kanye West.
Our prayers go out to Justo and his family. This week marked 3 years since his tragic passing. We will always remember.
