Diddy gets an XXL cover

When the likes of 50 cent and Jay-Z have about 10 XXL covers each, it may come as a suprise to hear that Diddy has never graced XXL's glossy front cover. Sure, he may not match the lyrical and commercial success of the fore-mentioned - but not even one! With all the entrepreneurial, and yes, musical contributions he's made to Hip Hop; I think he deserves this one. Should be a good read.

AZ speaks...

As someone who rates pretty highly in my 'top lyricists of all time' list, it's refreshing to hear something from former 'The Firm' group member AZ. As Nas's long time rap-partner, AZ has always been in somewhat of an Esco-sized shadow, but none-the-less his contributions to rap cannot be ignored.

This is an interview he did recently with Canadian-based Montreality, in which he speaks on several areas including; Do Or Die II, the possibility of a reunion with The Firm and his views on Nas and Damian Marley's collaboration, Distant Relatives (released tomorrow).



He really seems quite nonchalant when it comes to the question of Nas and Damian Marley, but then again, the sound track to this interview really reminds you of the chemistry that NaS and AZ have on a track; maybe it's hard for him to see Esco with a new rhyme-partner?

So, I guess, it's a case of watch-this-space for any new releases from Mr. Cruz...

Hov's family time

Just had to put these up, becuase I hardly ever see pictures of Jay with his family. None-the-less, he took Grandma - Hattie White - to the Yankees Vs Minnesota Twins game at the Yankee stadium.

Wonder how Bey and Nana Hov get on?

Chipmunk - Superstar [VIDEO]

Really feeling this video for Chippy's Superstar single; it's like a trip down Chipmunk lane. Is it me, or is he on a bit of a Hov vibe when he's in that warehouse?



The video is directed by Ben & Vertex from Marvell, and the song features on the deluxe edition of Chip's I Am Chipmunk album.
