2 New From Nas in ‘07, Greg Tate Is Here, Skillz & Common Keep Diaries, Truck’s Northern Exposure, Contest Winners!

• I told myself that I wasn’t going to mention either of those two dudes until the official numbers are in on Wednesday morning, but I have to link to Greg Tates rebuttal to my claims that “Kan can rap” where Greg distinguishes between “The MC” versus “The Monologuist.” Very valid points indeed. I suppose I just feel that it’s the overall impressiveness of Ye’s journey thus far and his will that make him exciting in different ways than what we are typically used to from the greatest rappers.

• NAS, for instance. Last week MTV reported that one of rap’s true legends would drop a new album before the year’s end in addition to a greatest-hits LP in November. They ask all the right questions so if you love Nas like we do, make sure you read that.

• Skillz is keeping a daily diary while on the road with the VH1 Hip Hop Honors Tour. We have more entries to post but are waiting to see if we might get some photos (or video) to go with them. Stay tuned later today.

• Common also has a video diary going! 2 entries so far (Poland and London) and more to come, but B.Kyle warns that entries need to be edited before they are posted, so be patient, we’ll deliver them when they are ready.

• Roots and Okayplayer heads know Truck North from his appearance (alongside Skillz, Devon The Dude, and Dave Chappelle) on “In Love With The Mic” off The Tipping Point as well as the iTunes only “Bread and Butter” bonus track off Game Theory. Now Truck’s here with his own CD called Northern Exposure.

• Contest Winners! Congratulations to Nina S. who won the grand prize of our Ben Harper contest as well to the runner up winners Garrett K. and Willie N. Tickets to see “Till The Break Of Dawn” have been awarded to Jamal P, Gary B, and Lamin F. Everyone check your emails for details.
