The Woman from Drake's "Over" video: Rita Ora

RITA ORA looks edible in Drake video.
If you seen the Drake video for "Over", you probably noticed a stunning lil sutn near the end. We got a few glimpses of some beauty in an elegantly decorated room waiting for this Drake character to finish singing, when she should've been waiting for The Specialist to come throw her up against the wall. This chick's name is Rita Ora, she's from the UK, and she's apparently signed to Roc Nation (good luck coming out with an album) as a singer. The Specialist investigated her skills and while he was suprised to hear a halfway soulful voice, he's still more struck by her sheer beauty and ranks her as #2 on his impregnate list, only below Alicia Keys. That's no easy acheivement.

"Why Does Rap Suck Nowadays?" -- A Forum Post That Explains It All.


Every once in a while, you come across something that sums up everything so beautifully, that you just have to wonder why you never get the type of moment of clarity that its creator had. Here is a post I found on a forum that addresses the oft-asked question of "Why Does Rap Suck Nowadays?".

Lupe vs Alicia Keys = Neptunes Drum Kits


The Scrumptuous Alicia Keys with her engineer/enforcer.


Apparently, The Neptunes stole some AK vocals and pasted them over a Lupe song they were making. This made Alicia Keys' trusted engineer, Ann Mincieli, so incensed that she was went straight to twitter and gave Lupe Fiasco some words of war. It's rumoured that she then spent 3 minutes pounding her fists against $60,000+ equipment in the studio, but thats just speculation. What's clear is that in retaliation, she leaked "The Official Neptunes Drum Kit". Which is the only part of this story that anyone really cares about.

The Wrath of GURU Fans: www.FUCKSOLAR.com



I wasn't the biggest fan of GURU solo but I was a BIG fan of GANGSTARR since time immemorial. I only last year learned of the rift between GU and the man they call Primo, but it really saddened the don to find out that THESE icons were bickering. A year later I come on web and find out my dude GURU was in coma, so I monitored the entire shituation from the false statements released to the nephew's pleas and everything else, so needless to say I'm abreast on this whole Solar shituation.

Some dude has set up a site called "Fuck Solar" where he keeps us abreast of all the latest happenings in this whole GURU fiasco by aggregating news, articles, providing original commentary sporadically, and monitoring every move Solar makes, mossad style.
