Rap legend Kool G Rap has a new album due in March called Half A Klip that is produced by DJ Premier. The first street single is called "What’s More Realer Than That" and is quite bangin’.
In case you don’t know, G Rap is widely considered the creator of Mafia-influenced crime rap, and the guy that cats like Biggie, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Jadakiss, Saigon and everyone else with street cred and two guns up considers to be The Don.
Meanwhile, Premier is best know for his work with groundbreaking Gang Starr beats, but recently has produced pop hits for the likes of Christina Aguilera.

Back in the day, the only thing NASA had to worry about were the Russians...
It seems that the former Soviet Union is a thing of the past as the People's Republic of China has boldly blown up something that no country has blown up before....a satellite.
As U.S intelligence slowly reveals the event that took place on January 11th, it appears that the Chinese "performed a successful anti-satellite (asat) weapons test" that destroyed "an aging Chinese weather satellite with a kinetic kill vehicle launched on board a ballistic missile" at an altitude of more than 500 miles.
NASA, the CIA and National Security Agency responded with "Oh, snap!"
If this test was indeed a success, who knows, maybe the US will pump billions of dollars into a Reagan-like proposal to develop a Death Star.

Mobb Deep rapper Prodigy will release his sophomore solo effort, Return of the Mac, on Koch Records in early, 2007, to be followed later in the year by H.N.I.C. 2, the follow up to Prodigy’s Gold solo album, H.N.I.C.
Return of the Mac once again teams the Queensbridge MC with The Alchemist who produced every song on the album.
“Alchemist and I put this CD together to get people ready for my new solo album H.N.I.C.2.," Prodigy said in a statement. "I’m ‘bout to turn it up hot with H.N.I.C.2. I decided to ride with KOCH Records cause I got a lot of sh*t to do and say, and I know KOCH won't hold me back or censor my sh*t plus the entire company will push the CDs to the maximum because they truly love and respect my music. We’re all very excited about the whole thing.”
“Stuck On You” will be the first single, with a video will follow shortly. Meanwhile check out the underground street videos for “Mac 10 Handles” and “New York Sh*t” on Youtube.com.

Somark Innovations has come up with one of the most unique and arguably coolest ways to track biological life forms, the tattoo, but not just any tattoo. Within ten seconds anyone, man or animal can be marked with a passive RFID ink tattoo, which emits a traceable signal up to a whopping distance of four feet.
The ink comes in a variety of colors, including transparent, which is good, because I have a devious idea I’d like to try out.
Just for a goof, I’d like to drug all of my closest friends while they sleep and tattoo invisible penises on all of their foreheads and then track them… okay, not track them, but I’d definitely do the penis on forehead tattoo thing. On second thought, I don’t really need special tattoo ink to do that. Awesome!

This one leaves me speechless:
A couple of anti-gaming laws are currently wending their way through the government of New York state.
The first one aims to limit sales of games which contain:
commission of a violent crime
suicide
sexual violence
violent racism
religious violence
illegal use of drugs & alcohol
The most amazing part: The law seeks to restrict the sales of these games to anyone under the age of 30. Thirty years old. So you're old enough to vote, drink, fight in a war, have kids, rent a car, and attend Adult-Skate-Night at the Moonlight Rollerway in Glendale, California, but you can't play Grand Theft Auto.
