Lil Wayne seeks help from ex FBI
Gangsta rapper and the G-man? It's not your usual hip-hop double bill, but Grammy-sweeping rap artist Lil' Wayne is hoping a former FBI geneticist will get him off the hook for the .40-caliber semiautomatic cops grabbed from his tour bus near Columbus Circle two years ago.Weezy has hired Bruce Budowle in hopes of challenging the DNA test that matched him to cells swabbed off the gun.Budowle is set to argue that, with too few cells to test conventionally, Manhattan prosecutors relied instead on a problematic test called low copy number typing, according to court papers.

The Ecstatic, is it Mos Def's best work???....
Mos Def’s last album was two and a half years ago called the True Magic, but the rapper/actor, born Dante Smith, returns to Hip-Hop after his lengthy sabbatical.His return comes in the form of his newest album The Ecstatic, his fourth solo album.At this point, Mos is an acquired flavor of Hip-Hop that one hopes will pierce the trappings of traditional media and commercially tinged outlets.The Ecstatic album is set to bring the balance so needed in Hip-Hop, but its redeeming value is so much more. The first track on the album, “Supermagic,” displays the lyrical power of Mos Def’s distinctiveness, his nasal voice is evident over the guitar riff. He’s got that brooklyn bluster, but offers a unique conscious and educational perspective that seems original, nearly formless. From this moment on, there is no doubt that Mos Def is back reppin' BK to the fullest.The album overwhelmingly demonstrates Mos Def’s ability to weave tales and project his ideals. One such song is “Wahid,” which is laced with Muslim musical sentiments.Even for the fan, Mos will probably make you retrain your Hip-Hop ear, because he’s unique. His style is demonstrated on other songs like the boom bap of “Twilite Speedball,” the minimalist “Quiet Dog Bite Hard,” and the thought provoking track, “Priority.”There are some instances where you want more from Mos – more energy, more engagement – as it’s the case with “Pretty Danger.” More than anything, absorbed listeners will appreciate risks like “Roses” with Georgia Anne Muldrow, which clearly indicate that Mos Def is operating on a plane reserved for passengers like Andre 3000, Lauryn Hill and others.If you are not a fan of Mos Def, it is unlikely that his new album The Ecstatic will yank you into his universe, but if the casual listener does venture out, they will likely stay on this flight into the stars.Download album below>>>
