The BK MC is rapping in Spanish now? Yes! At least for 1:42 minutes on his new album The Ecstatic on a track named “No Hay Nada Mas.” It’s a mellow track with Mos Def rhyming efficiently in Español. I actually heard about via Talib Kweli's Twitter account where he tweeted, “RealTalibKweli My new favorite song- Mos Def No Hay Nada Mas http://bit.ly/YObPy.” Mos does a better job than most (ha!) with his Spanish lyrics. Peep the song below.

BK All Day,

Jesus

Q-Tip is one of the few MCs I still check for because well he’s a grown man talking that grown man talk. I had the opportunity to chat with him a couple of months ago and he dropped some gems on me. Also check the new clip for “ManWomanBoogie” off The Renaissance.

I’ve been a strong advocate of Massachusetts MC Termanology. I’m definitely not alone.  The half-bori was recently interviewed by Talib Kweli on his site (check here). Talib has some experience as a pen-pusher (he interviewed 50 Cent a few years back) and turns out a good read. Below are some highlights.
