The similarities are uncanny. Search through the back catalogs of any rapper’s lyrics and you’re almost guaranteed to a find some version of this line: “I’m the black ______.” But are they really?

Safety Words: The Ghostfaced Pixels Mixtape takes vocals from classic Wu-Tang songs and mashes them up with samples from over 40 classic Nintendo games. It's now available for free download (click through). Geeks and hip-hop heads alike will be mesmerized.
Culture Buzz Many rappers and hip-hop artists are known for their eccentric choices in clothing, cars and homes. Their album covers are no different and are the epitome of ridiculousness. Check out the worst of the worst.
Mr.B The Gentleman Rhymer brings you a melody summing up 30-years of “chap-hop”, which seems to just be regular hip-hop sung by fancy English white dudes.
Well this remix wrote itself. Surrounding a Jeopardy category called “MC Trebek”, the master of trivia himself is required to spit a few lyrics therefore creating the perfect material to auto-tune. And auto-tune we shall.
Music Buzz According to various sources, Snoop Dogg has changed his name to 'Niggarachi' in order to celebrate (promote?) his new album 'Baac To That Chuuch Vol. 1' (Yes, that's really the name.)

Music Buzz Calvin Tanella is a former construction worker from New Jersey who became so enlightened after listening to a 10-minute rant by Michael Savage, that he decided to drop everything and become Hi-Caliber, the Republican Rapper.

In Obamanation, Tanella raps, “A Socialist in the White House, what have we done? You think Bush was bad, now the real fun has begun.” F**k it Tanella, let's do it live!
Celebrity Buzz Kanye said that he wants to be like Björk and pose naked, have less fans. If he keeps that auto-tune shit up we're guessing his second wish just might come true. As for getting naked, well, that's entirely up to him. We won't encourage anything.
