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. His new album, Mr. Conservative , was influenced by the likes of conservative pundits ranging from Sean Hannity to Bill O'Reilly and hip-hop artists from Run-DMC to the Beastie Boys. 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!

Sara at Best Week Ever has a theory that the further you are away from Ludacris, the sadder you are as a person. And she has a chart to prove it, so really it's more like scientific fact than a theory. Q.E.D. Now somebody get Ludacris over here so I can feel joy again.

MUSIC BUZZ: One-time Eminem collaborator Trick Trick is making news this week with his announcement to AllHipHop.com that he doesn't want gay people buying his new album. Trick Trick personally called out gay celebrities Rosie O'Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres, saying that he was going to send a “scud missile right through their f**king cruise ship.” No word yet on whether heterosexual people have any plans to buy Trick Trick's lousy album either.
