ProVerb of DC responds back to LeBron and Hov with "ProV PSA"...[audio/download]
"Pro, he's one of the young greats/ going at Jay with a flow he helped create/...It's like David vs. Goliath/ So let me see what happens when I aim this at a giant..."
I have to be honest, I've never heard of ProV, but the diss track isn't all that bad as the attention-seeker snuggles up the media fanfare surrounding DeShawn and LeBron. It could be that Just Blaze production but his lines are fairly clever. I highly highly doubt Jay will ever respond or even acknowledge the dude but can't knock him for trying. That being said, it is a shameless media stunt capitalizing on a feud that doesn't involve him aside from the fact that he lives in a region relatively close to the sports team indirectly involved. ProV has a good point though, DeShawn isn't a rapper, so why get Jay involved? Big homie watching out for the Youngin' that's cool, but DeShawn is a ball player. "Dribble the ball OR draw lyrics..."
The only other interesting aspect of the LeBron/DeShawn story (besides Jigga's freestyle)...
DJ Premiere to produce a track for Luda's upcoming LP Theatre of the Mind...

The Game dedicates "911 Is a Joke" to Sean Bell...
The Game speaks
out against police brutality and the recent Sean Bell verdict on the
new track '911 is a Joke,' which the rap star will premiere on his new
website ThisizGame.com. "I'm outraged and speaking out for my
generation that are afraid to speak out against police brutality and
murder..."
The Roots vs. Def Jam...
?uestlove: "At a time, it was safe to be the Roots...Now as each album goes by, the risk of annihilation becomes closer and
closer. That's why this album is almost our defining moment."
The album opens and closes with snippets from a 1994 conversation
the group held regarding their unhappiness at MCA. Thompson told Billboard
the drops were included to show their current struggles at Def Jam
aren't the first time The Roots have "been mired in some sort of label
battle."

Jam Master Jay murder suspect sentenced...
A man federal officials believe was involved in the murder of Hip-Hop
legend Jam Master Jay, was sentenced yesterday to 17 years in prison
for unrelated robbery charges...If the government had a case,
they’d bring it...The reality is, they have no idea...
First peek at The Roots' Rising Down...[download link]
"The Legendary Roots Crew is back with yet another offering of their
soulful-yet-heavy delivery. Following in the dark tones of 2006's Game Theory, Rising Down is a collage of lush and deep soundscapes I have yet to fully appreciate. Like much of The Roots' catalog, Rising Down seems like the kind of album worth listening to over and over again to get the real feel of the record..."

Nas - "War is Necessary" snippet...[listen]
"Whatever kind of flack Nas gets for the song, it's done it's job. Only
out a day, the song has sparked controversy and spawned talk between
critics and media alike..."
That's HHE talking about this song right here...
"Wow, that song is not that good people. It boggles the mind that
183,000 people (not to mention however many people had copped it before
last week) would pay money for that track. Especially when all you have
to do is type this into Google...[via NahRight]"
Slug deploys his storytelling abilities...
"Since blitzing the subterranean rap establishment circa 2000,
Atmosphere has followed a basic boom-bap formula: Ant lays catchy
guitar and drum-spun beats; Slug spills observations and emotions over
them. On their new disc, When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That S---
Gold..."
