Stay Hatin'
This is the best rap podcast out there.
Every week @SergDun, @matthewafrica & @soft_money give listeners some of the deepest/weirdest/most ignant raps on the internet. Their commentary is great too.
A few weeks ago Matthew Africa passed away from a car accident. It's weird how close you can feel to these guys just from listening to them bullshit with each other over music. Compared to anyone really famous who passed away, I was much more deeply affected by Matthew Africa's death. My deepest condolences go to his friends and family.
The show is still alive and strong. Subscribe on itunes or listen here

4-EVER FRESH
"Urban Sound Surgeon" is a really fresh name for a group. Anyway, this song has some lines that have been used through and through in hip-hop.
"create rap music cause I never did disco"
"Holy calamity scream insanity all you'll ever be is just another big fan of me"

A lil somethin somethin
This is the next book by the RZA. It's been guaranteed by the some 6 review I read to have many unreleased stories and insights into the formation of the Wu. I'll post some links too, but here's some of the nuggets I stole from the reviews I read:*RZA says that in 1991, Ghost was very into trying rip off a Brinks truck.
*Ghost used to call Old English “Wu juice,” and RZA used to call Ballantine Ale “Shaolin.”
*In 1989, RZA showed some of his friends Eight-Diagram and says some of them started crying because it’s so real.
*RZA used to ride the subway wearing a Big Daddy Kane-style gold cable, a book of 120 lessons, and a .38 revolver.
*If you see Method Man on the street and yell out “Shaquan!” he’ll probably turn around.
*A sampling of RZA’s early production tools: 1982, Technics SL-6 turntable; 1985, Roland 606 drum machine; 1988, Casio sampler.
*RZA used to live in a basement below some family members of Prince Po from Organized Konfusion; Po used to come visit him and watch him make beats.
*RZA once hung out with Leonardo DiCaprio, right after Titanic came out. They smoked cuban cigars together and Leo recited some Wu-Tang lyrics.
*RZA holed up at Trump Tower while working on the Bobby Digital album; for fun, he used to hang out on the front stoop of The Plaza, drinking 40s, smoking weed, and watching the celebrities come and go.
*Method Man, the group's most recognizable voice, was nearly killed before the band formed, Wu-Tang's chief producer, RZA, writes in his forthcoming memoir.
Meth was walking to buy marijuana at 160 Park Hill Avenue in Staten Island -- the house in Wu-Tang's "Protect Ya Neck" video -- when RZA saw him across the street, he writes in the book.
"Come over here, yo!" RZA beckoned, according to "The Tao of Wu" (Riverhead). "He stopped and came running over. A few seconds later -- pow-pow-pow-pow-pow! -- a guy started shooting up the front of 160. A buddy of ours, Poppy, an innocent, school-going, nice guy -- he was shot and killed right there."*"The 36 Chambers needs to be on Broadway, baby!" - The RZA
*RZA writes in the book that he once witnessed ODB force his own son to watch him do drugs. RZA tried to leave, he writes, but ODB wouldn't let him
