    I am so amped that they added the new date. I was (so was Wacks) one of the many unlucky Hip-Hop heads who missed the boat the first time around. Anyway I just got this E-mail fresh from the good people at Guerilla Union, who put this beautiful event together…

    Featured: Hasan Insane

    April 28th, 2007

    My music is like hip hop circa 1971 in its rawest form.

    Up and coming hip-hop producer Hasan Insane has already worked with the likings of Skyzoo and TapeMaster’s Inc. He dropped one of the dopest mixtapes of 2006, Perfect Strangers, which blended Nas and Jay-Z acapellas over his own original beats. His style is one of a kind, with precise kicks and snares laced perfectly over all instruments imaginable. I’ve known him for a few months, but finally was able to catch up with him and do an interview. Know the ledge on Hasan Insane.

    Eargasms:
    Hasan Insane - Hustla’s Clarity (Ft. Lil’ Wayne & Jay-Z)
    Off TapeMasters Inc.’s ‘Young Money Millionaire

    Hasan Insane - Be Easy Remix (Ft. T.I., Pusha T & Jay-Z)
    Off TapeMasters Inc.’s ‘I Am: T.I. vs T.I.P.

    We Don’t Like Austrailia Anyway

    April 26th, 2007

    (Just playin’. Australia is cool. I’d like to go their some day.)

    So Snoop was due to co-host the Austrailia Video Awards this Sunday, but some jerk named Kevin Andrews, who is the immigration “minister” refused to let him stay in the country. Or is it a continent. Whatever.

    “He doesn’t seem the sort of bloke we want in this country,” Andrews told Sydney’s Macquarie Radio. “This man has been a member of a Los Angeles gang, and is still associated with it apparently, that’s been involved in murder, robberies and drug dealing in the LA area.”

    Snoop’s lawyer, Donald Etra, said he has not heard from Snoop since the incident. Snoop Dogg has 28 days to make a court appeal.

    In related news, Russel Simmons was on Bill O’Reilly last night, talking about the same shit every news channel is talking about. Why can’t they just leave us alone?!
