Please don't base your assumptions about all rappers on Nelly.

How much of a twat is Quentin Tarantino?

Rap battles aren't the same as beefs.

I was gonna post this, but I assumed nobody would have heard of (Mad) Skillz.

*stocks up on gummi bears and superglue*

Why hasn't any channel in the UK picked up Chappelle's Show?

Like monkey said, he's capable of making decent rap songs that wouldn't necessarily sell well. Most of the stuff he's done is radio-friendly, but maybe Suit will be a completely different side of him. And OutKast are a rap group, even if Andre didn't rap on The Love Below.

The idea is to release one album for the pop fans (Sweat) and one for the rap fans (Suit). Whether we'll be able to tell the difference is another story.

No more than £9.99 £10.99 if I REALLY want it. You can get most new Cd's for £9/10 on Play.com, and the record shop near my Halls of Residence is dirt cheap.

What?!?! This isn't gonna be good for his rap career. He was fin' blow fo' sho'

"This is for The Queen and the Aristocracy" I couldn't hate her more.

Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds. Considerably less funny than Albert the Fifth Musketeer. The only good children's TV show is My Parents Are Aliens, and they had to go an fuck that up with a laugh track.

Cypress Hill are more well known than Kweli, Mos or Bis. You wouldn't see any of those three on The Simpsons

Not quite. Em came second to Otherwize. Wize went on to record tracks for Dre's Chronic 2001, but Dre never used them.

OK, here we go. This is the beef as I understand it. Canibus and Wyclef approach Eminem in 1998 and accuse him of ghostwriting LL Cool J's "The Ripper Strikes Back" (a diss to Canibus). Eminem denied it. Canibus saw him on the Warped Tour the following year and apologised, asking if he was up for doing the track 'Phuck U'. Eminem turned it down because he thought it sounded as if it was aimed at him and LL. It's a shitty song anyway, so I don't blame him. Eminem mentioned Canibus on on a couple of songs, though the lines could have been taken either as a diss or a compliment. Then after MMLP dropped, Canibus decided to continue the story of Stan. On 'C True Hollywood Stories' Canibus had a skit called 'Stan Lives' where Canibus witnesses Stan driving off the bridge and he pulls over and helps him. On the first song of the album ('U Didn't Care') Canibus takes the role of Stan and writes to Eminem. This is the track where we find the first bonafide diss, albeit coming from 'Stan' Up on hearing this, Eminem replied on various tracks. 'Square Dance' from 'The Eminem Show', some mentions/subliminal disses on other tracks and the beginning of 'Without Me', which takes the 'Round the outside' line from Canibus' song 'Boxcutta, Bladerunna'. He also dissed Canibus on the Xzibit album, on the track 'Say My Name'. Then Canibus dropped 'MicClub' with, disses on two of the songs. 'Dr C PhD' was pretty much an outright diss to Eminem. And then on 'Curriculum 101'; On 'Nail in the Coffin', a diss to Benzino, Eminem says Which again is open to interpretation. On 'The Brainstream', a Canibus mixtape, 'Bis says: 'Can-I-Bitch' cropped up on the internet in December 2003. Some say Benzino leaked it to provoke Canibus, some say Eminem leaked it to take the heat off the racist tracks Benzino had put out. Because the beat is very similar to 'Without Me', it's natural to assume that it was recorded circa Eminem Show. Eminem clearly calls for a reply, which 'Bis has yet to provide. Em also mocked Canibus on a skit for the Obie Trice-hosted mixtape 'The Bar is Open', mimicking his voice and content. In my opinion, I think it's just a case of two emcees going back and forth, provoking each other just to hear what they have to say. I don't think there's any serious 'beef' there. They've both given each other props in interviews and the such. I think it's just friendly competition, really. I'd murder a small village to hear a collaboration.

Immortal Technique. He's the underground's current poster boy. Bit too political for my personal tastes, but he has skills. Songs: Freedom of Speech, The Poverty of Philosophy MF Doom AKA FM Mood AKA DM Food AKA Viktor Vaughan AKA King Gheedorah. He's got a very weird style, kind of making-up-as-he-goes-along, free association speech kinda thing. Very cool, though. Songs: Strange Ways (as MF Doom/Madvillainy) Canibus is borderline, you should have heard of him. If not, get the following: Songs: Poet Laureate II, Master Thesis, Second Round K.O. Talib Kweli. Got a little radio play a couple of years back. You might know him. Songs: Get By, The Blast, Lonely People Jean Grae. With the possible exception of Lauryn Hill, the best ever female emcee. Songs: God's Gift, My Crew, No Doubt Also: Murs, Swollen Members, Jedi Mind Tricks, Del tha Funky Homosapien, Tech N9ne, Ras Kass, Pharoahe Monch

The 50 and Cam'ron verses are from two different tracks over the O.C. beat. The 50 verse is HOT. That's the track 'Nigga Like Me' which was supposedly left off 'Black Album', with a new hook and a Game verse.

I'm surprised none of the participants had seen the thing with the black and white photos before. It's a popular card trick. Great show though, I'm a big Derren fan. Russian Roulette was great, and I still have yet to hear a decent explanation of how he staged it (a blank would have killed him, or at the very least wounded him) Russian Roulette, The Seance and Trick of the Mind are some of the most interesting and entertaining things I've ever seen.

OK, I'm not 100% convinced... There have been a lot of rumours of a rift between Jay Z and Dame Dash for years and years. There was speculation about Jay starting his own label recently as well, and stuff about a possible Dre-produced album after the Black Album. I'd like it to be true, though. If you've heard 'Nigga Like Me', you'll know that Jigga sounds goooood on Dre's shit. Plus we might get a 'Renegades' Part 2.
