On my latest poll I asked Hip Hop AD readers who’s they feel is the next best thing. While the results were all close, Canadian MC Drake was the winner. You may have seen him on the hit high school show Degrassi where he plays the crippled ball player Jimmy. He has now ventured into music being a new rapper/singer signed to Interscope under the name Drake. He is also apart of Lil’ Wayne’s entourage Young Money. Being affiliated with Young Money granted Drake numerous Wayne collabo’s and he is rumored to produce Drake’s debut album Thank Me Later. Drake being signed to Interscope, radio-friendly joints, and his Lil Wayne affiliation gives him the potential to be the next big thing.
Peep the full story to get Drake’s latest mixtape and peep the rest of the poll results.

What’s Beef: Joe Budden Vs. Saigon
19 01 2009
Only three weeks into 2009, diss tracks have been all over the net. First, 50 sounds off on Lil’ Wayne’s “Lousianimal” which he Weezy subliminally took shots at him. He also throws in Kanye and Oprah into the same diss track titled “Play This on the Radio”.
But one of the more blatant feuds is the Joe Budden and Saigon beef. Instead of dissing in a subliminal fashion like many other MC’s do, Joe Budden not only name drops in the diss track, but even puts Saigon’s name in the title. Saigon then responds getting personal with Joey, calling his son gay and his girl a jumpoff. Let’s recap the history of the beef to cause Sai to spaz like that, and give the diss tracks a listen.

Dope or Nope 1/19: Unreleased Nas (Produced by Kanye)
19 01 2009Nas – The World (Produced by Kanye West)
What’s iller than a storytelling track by Nas meshed with soulful Kanye West production? I’m not sure what album this was supposed to appear on, but it’s nice. Nas and Kanye should consider doing a project together. “We Major”, “Still Dreaming”, and “Let There Be Light” are all great tracks and a full album would be crazy!

19 01 2009
Pardon the absence of last weeks CotW entry, I’ve been crazy busy in and out the office. This weeks Chick of the Week is Naturi Naughton. If you’ve seen Notorious over the weekend, you know exactly why I’m posting this. In Naturi’s 3LW days, I overlooked her, but her portrayal of Lil’ Kim brought my attention to her and boosted her sex appeal. Of course that was the roles intent being Lil’ Kim was a sex symbol of that era, Naturi did her thing being the film’s eye candy. Hit up the full story to peep more pics!
