So in case you've been living under some kind of rock you've heard of the whole Barack v. Clinton thing.. so after all the crying and shoulder brushing a victor has emerged and the hip hop community could not be more thrilled. So even though we are Canadian over here I choose not to take that bullshit "It doesn't effect me. I'm Canadian" route well mainly because I know better. Either way congrats and heres some Obama material of the Hip Hop variety...

Skillz Responds to "Fuck Mixtape DJs"
Most of you have probably already found out that i'm not the hugest supporter of Weasel (GET OFF HIS DICK) and i'm pretty sure that his remarks were just the buckley's talkin', anyway heres what my name Skillz had to say about the whole situation:
"Iiight so fuck the dj? For real? Wow! First lemme say I dont get alot of radio/club play, sometimes my record dont apply & I can understand that but I dont care if I had no spins on my record I would never say fuck a dj. No DJ at all, I wouldnt say fuck a DJ that I dont know!! lol It just baffles me how the hottest artist out right now can say Fuck the dj’s!! Where would he be without the DJ tho? Real talk, I hear his records and its always a dj playing it. Be it on the radio, in the club or on a cd. If you hot then DJ’s gon fuck with you but they are part of the reason you hot, its a tag team kinda combo. You rap on everyone’s song (whether they want you to or not) you jump on cats tracks and send em out to the world, wouldn’t you want someone to think its hot enuf to play? So then I heard him on Drama and he said ” Fuck them dj’s”! Niggas takin my music and puttin out CD’s that aint official. Nigga? You rapped on 70 songs that wasn’t official! Alot of these DJ’s are branding you. They making you hot!"

Video: Flashing Lights (Version 3 Breakdown) - Kanye West
This is for those of you who didnt quite understand the version of Flashing Lights that Kanye decided to release after shooting the other two videos he wasn't happy with. Of course the video was portrayed at an artistic/abstract point of view but its kinda funny how the way he breaks it down makes so much sense.
Juan Epstein 21 (6-1-08)
Sorry for the delay, but here’s Juan Epstein with a special interview with The Kid Daytona. We talk about dick head bouncers, approaching woman, and of course The Kid Daytona’s new mixtape “A Tribe Called Fresh”.
The boys are back again, My man Morph put me on these guys and its pretty funny. For those that don't know; Juan Ep is just DJ Cipha Sounds and Peter Rosenberg shooting the shit and randomly arguing (It happens alot). I hate to admit it but I never make it through a whole episode... Check it out.
