Fashawn Creating West Coast “Illmatic”
Monday, January 25th, 2010While everyone is looking to the likes of Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Game to revamp the West Coast and restore the energy that it once had when it was the dominant sound in Hip Hop, not enough are taking notice of the young gunners creating their own noise to continue the legacy.
Dropping the critically acclaimed debut album, Boy Meets World, rapper Fashawn looks to keep breaking boundaries by touching a Hip Hop classic that many probably wouldn't dare to, by creating his own version of Illmatic.
Citing his work with The Alchemist from the mixtape The Antidote, the rapper stated how getting more in touch with beats and music before his generation was the inspiration for the upcoming concept behind the new mixtape.
Already in the process, Fashawn dropped his interpretation of “Memory Lane”
Look out for the mixtape, which he says should drop early 2010. What do you think of Illmatic from the West?

J. Cole Created Track for Jay Z's "American Gangster"
Monday, January 25th, 2010Before North Carolina's own J. Cole was rapping alongside Wale and premier lyricists like Jay Electronica, Mos Def and Talib Kweli, the young up and comer was trying to find a way to get his foot in the door to enter the music business.
With the intent to impress Jay Z, what better way than to demo a potential track for 2007's American Gangster. Unfortunately for Cole, the track was never used for the album, but that doesn't mean that it would be left in the shadows.
Titled “On Top Of The World” feat. A.L., the track is reminiscent of the film based album and reflects the name on having everything that one could want and standing on top just watching those below trying to make their own climb.

Monday, January 25th, 2010An 83-year-old Brooklyn man is being charged with assault and menacing after police say he attacked a 99-year-old man in a parking lot dispute.
Gersh Gofman is accused of using his “The Club” security device to beat 99-year-old Steve Pulwers.
The dispute happened after Pulwers asked the younger man to move his car because he was blocking the entrance to his apartment building's parking lot where a practicing doctor was waiting to get in.
Gofman refused however, exited the car and began to beat the man with “The Club.”
"When he came out of his car, he punched me between the eyes and broke my nose," Pulwers said to WPIX-TV. "Then he threw me on the ground and I told him to get off me."
The doctor waiting to park called police.
Pulwers also says that Gofman threatened to come back and “cut his balls off.”
Pulwers turns 100 in two months and was taken to the hospital with a broken nose and broken ribs.
