Isn’t this from the leak he had this summer?
I thought he said the finished product wouldn’t sound like this…
Either way though, this song is dope. Can’t wait for the vid.

New! Jedi Mind Tricks - Monolith
Over the past 12+ years, the name Jedi Mind Tricks has become
synonymous with raw, gritty underground hip-hop. With November 11th's
6th studio release, "A History of Violence," Vinnie Paz, beat maestro
Stoupe and long estranged "partner in rhyme" Jus Allah reunite,
rekindling the spirit of their last collaborative full length, 1998's
renowned classic "Violent By Design." A mature masterpiece, Jedi's
signature style continues to evolve as the group moves self-assuredly
into their second decade as undisputed leaders within the independent
hip-hop landscape; their unique sound, and the movement that it has
spawned, is responsible for no less than the genesis of an entire
sub-genre of music.
And now Jedi Mind Tricks has returned with a renewed vigor. With the
first single, "Monolith," Stoupe laces sultry vocals upon a
head-nodding drum line, setting the backdrop for Vinnie's politically
and socially incendiary lyrical delivery (political sentiment also
served to inspire the album title and accompanying cover imagery).
And for the first time in years, the duo's inimitable sound is rounded
out by the fiery vocals of erstwhile member Jus Allah. Re-united and
reconstituted, this is the Jedi Mind Tricks that both captivated a
generation and paved the way for a flourishing sub-culture of hardcore
independent hip-hop.
Kim Kardashian to replace injured Misty?
Kim Kardashian might be returning to Dancing With the Stars to replace the injured Misty May-Treanor. She should go back to being a jump off.
Kim was eliminated from the show last week. But looks like she might get a second chance.
According to ABC: “[Misty's] condition will be addressed on the show,” and Kim is not officially confirming that she is back in if Misty is out, but when contacted by E! News, Kardashian (who is in New Orleans for boyfriend Reggie Bush’s Monday Night Football game at the Superdome) says: “If they ask me to, I’m available. I’m back home tomorrow. We’ll see!”
Misty suffered an Achilles tendon injury on Friday.
Producers released a statement saying, “Doctors will reevaluate her condition on Monday and determine the outcome of her participation on the show.”
They voted untalented people off for a reason and let’s face it, Kim has no talent whatsoever.
Why put her and us through the whole thing again?
Kim should just go back and do what she’s good at.

Nas Reacts To Jesse Jackson's Comments
The recent comments by Jesse Jackson has created quite a stir in both the world of politics and Hip Hop.
On a Fox News broadcast Jackson, who assumed his microphone was off, shared that he wanted to cut Obama's nuts off for [click to read] "talking down to black people."
Recently, rapper Nas shared with MTV his opinion on Jackson's comments.
"I think Jesse Jackson, he's the biggest player hater," Nas stated on his recent conference call with the media. "His time is up. All you old n---as, time is up. We heard your voice, we saw your marching, we heard your sermons. We don't wanna hear that sh-- no more. It's a new day. It's a new voice. I'm here now. We don't need Jesse; I'm here. I got this. We got Barack, we got David Banners and Young Jeezys. We're the voice now. It's no more Jesse. Sorry. Goodbye. You ain't helping nobody in the 'hood. That's the bottom line. Goodbye, Jesse. Bye!"
Nas' latest untitled album will be released on July 15 and has already received much publicity due to the album's former controversial title, Nigger.

Chamillionaire Returns to Save Houston Hip-Hop with Mixtape Messiah 4
Chamillionaire has been on hiatus for so long I was starting to wonder if Bill O’Reilly had ordered a hit on him. King Koopa’s back though (at least, I think he is). According to his able publicist Nancy, the latest installment in Cham’s Mixtape Messiah series will be out on August 27th. Mixtape Messiah aside, Cham has been keeping busy with collabos, freestyles (see mp3s above), and whatever else rappers do when they’re not busy bitching at their record companies (most of which deserve to be bitched at, by the way).
“It’s raining Benjamins, but that ain’t 3K” - Chamillionaire (”ChaMilli”)
After a bamillion “A Milli” freestyles, I’m not sure how eager you are to hear Chamillionaire’s version. Just in case anyone asks, he absolutely killed it. Plus, it sounds more authentic hearing a Forbes-recognized millionaire named Chamillionaire rhyming over that beat.

Dave Chappelle To Appear At Kevin Powell Rally
Today (July 9) comedian Dave Chappelle will make another one of his rare appearance's at an event for Democratic Congressional candidate Kevin Powell.
Powell, a former Real World-er jumped into politics at a young age and has since served as a political activist, poet, journalist, essayist, Hip Hop historian, public speaker, and entrepreneur.
As of recently, Powell has been campaigning to gain a seat in the United States Congress in the 10th Congressional District in Brooklyn, New York.

"I am completely committed to the ideals of freedom, justice, and equality, in America, and on this planet, and I am proof that much can be achieved if we are determined to make a change, personally and politically."
The event will be deejayed by DJ Reborn and there will be a special performance by Emily King.

Chicago Hip Hop Veteran Returns
Fans of Chicago rap scene before it blew up may remember Malik Yusef, for his work early in the career of Kanye West and Common. Yusef, earning more acclaim as a poet in recent years, dropped a new track today, which can be downloaded here. Rumors has circulated that he will be dropping a full length album before the end of 2008 on Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music imprint, and the leak of this track makes those rumors seem more like the truth. No info on who produced the track.
Young Buck is a Cry Baby
Despite all his tough talk on wax Young Buck was reduced to tears when talking to Boo Boo on the phone. Apparently, he wants to be reinstated into G-Unit, but that doesn’t seem likely. Instead, 50 Cent will milk this for what it’s worth until he’s done promoting T.O.S. 50 barely interrupted him which should have been a dead giveaway that he was recording the conversation. Buck Marley is a dope rapper and all, but this right here is a low for him.
