Mobb Deep's promo plan is to ride the subways to promote Blood Money. Is that really the best idea the brains at G-Unit could come up with? Last time I checked, the New York subway was not the best place to socialize and make friends. Are P and Hav going to walk up and down the aisles with a box of Peanut M&M's and the album asking people to buy the album to keep them off the streets? I don't even think a large percentage of people riding the subways are that into hip-hop. Most just want to get on, get off, and keep it moving. They're not going to want to be cornered by Hav telling them how dope Blood Money is and why they need to buy it. If you really want to promote the album, why not do a free concert or hit a few high schools up and give the kids a positive message? It seems like they could be doing a lot better things for the album than riding mass transit. "Hi, I am a part of Mobb Deep and I have an album in stores with my friend and we were hoping you could support it. Thank you for your time."

Mos Def recently came out against Lil' Jon's Eastside Boyz using the names Big Sam and Lil' Bo. He asked, "What's next, Kunta and Kinte?" Mos, I have a ton of respect for you, but these guys have been out for awhile. Five years ago, that would have been a valid point. And I'm pretty sure Sam and Bo didn't think naming themselves that would be a dope way to get mainstream love. I'm pretty sure those names are more of a "fuck you" statement than a "now rich white people will buy our album" statement.

Ty-Ty Smith recently got hit pretty hard for macing R.Kelly. Ty-Ty got four days of community service and two days of anger management counseling. Is that really necessary to give him two days of anger management counseling two years after the incident? Imagine how many people he could have maced in that two-year span. And props to R.Kelly for claiming Jay conspired to get him off the tour. R.Kelly is the 2006 Julius Caesar.

Should Ja be singing about all the guns they have after Irv's recent court ordeal? You'd think Irv would be asking Ja to rap about all the little things he does and always being on time. And dissing G-Unit now just seems kind of pointless. No one boxed 50 out when they should have and now it's too late. Shit, 50 is doing the View now chopping it up with Star Jones. Does it get any bigger than that?

Props to Big Mike for jacking JR Writer's HipHopGame freestyle and throwing it on his mixtape while cutting off the intro. Damn, I mean, he could have asked me for it. I still would have said no, but at least that's respectable. If we play one of Big Mike's tracks, we don't cut off all his promos or place HipHopGame drops over his voice. Plus, JR did that freestyle for us. He didn't do it for Big Mike. He didn't do it for any DJ. And if JR was going to give it to Big Mike, don't you think he would just edit out his HipHopGame drop and add a Big Mike drop instead with a proper intro? JR told me it was only for HipHopGame, so I'm not even going to disrespect him by asking what's up. If it turns out he did give it to Big Mike, then he broke his word, which I highly doubt. The thing with HipHopGame is now we have proof of the big names going to the site. We can tell you who's on the site as much as we want, but now you know who's really on the site. I guess that's crack. And props to Lokken Load for the beat.

And props to Musiq Soulchild for forgetting the words to the National Anthem. It is a pretty complicated song to learn. Next time just ask Carl Lewis to help you on that. If you know what I'm talking about, then you heard Carl Lewis sing. If you don't know what I'm talking about, look it up. I've been meaning to say that shit for a minute because I'm tired of reading the comments on the interviews and people are writing "Who is this? What is this? They don't deserve an interview." I saw that on People Under the Stairs and Edgar Allen Floe. These guys did not come out of nowhere. Do a Google search and do your homework. The People have been out for mad long. But then again in any high school class there's always those slow motherfuckers asking questions when all they have to do is look in the book.
