Here is one of the many "Attack of the Blog" exclusives floating around in the blogosphere. Collect them all.

This is the final installment of A.C's "Attack of the Blogs" announcements. 

Yezzzir.

This is the official cover art for Maino's If Tomorrow Comes, which will be in stores June 30th.

There are many reasons why the post-Big Pun Terror Squad will never prosper. And all the frontin these TS affiliates do is one of them. And one of the other obvious reasons: Pun is dead.

This is part two (of three) to A.C's "Attack of the Blogs Part 2" PSA.

Director Rik Cordero and Saigon linked up in Brooklyn to do a video for "Change Gon Come," for what seems to be a soundtrack joint for the upcoming movie Inside A Change, which received good reviews.

Something about this song is kind of Eminem-ish.

If anyone can answer the above question, you can receive a free copy of Before I Self Destruct. Not that you would really want it or anything.

Just a little something for the die-hard internet thugs who will take a bullet for a rapper who doesn't give a damn about them.

There's nothing new about Dead Prez's take on the shady U.S government, so the blog title should come as no shock. But M-1 got a little more specific with his latest "f*ck the president" routine.

Who is J. Cole?

While I was looking for the (couple of crappy) videos that I was actually able to find for Capone-N-Noreaga (yesterday's Throwback feature), I ran across this stomach-churning joint. And it wasn't "Oye Mi Canto."

F*ck what Fat Joe said about 50 Cent. At this point, anyone having to do with G-Unit is so irrelevant right now that the only one who can make them important again is Jimmy Iovine's embargo lift.

After a little bit of a fall back which stretched from late summer '08 to about early '09, it's safe to say that the kid AC is back again. And this time he's back with the next installment of Attack of the Blogs. (Revisit "Attack of the Blogs {Part 1}" HERE)

In this video, Queens rapper Nicki Minaj said "I would not want to paddle my career after any female... especially any female rapper."

Back in April, the making of the video for D-Block's "Get That Paper" was underway. Now, the low-key joint from the Yonkers trio is finally complete. This is for their upcoming project No Security.

 There's a new stan in town.

But then, I almost feel bad for all the bad sh*t I said about Jaz-O. The broke bum is just trying to get a bite to eat. And the only hope he has to make that happen is Jay-Z.

C-N-N. Top of New York. Pre-reggaeton nonsense.

Yes! Good choice. A little late. But a good decision on the label's part. I'm actually surprised.

Joe Budden is a sad individual. When that Ransom sh*t fizzled out (remember?), and especially after he and Saigon made up like two bitches, Joe attached his jumpoff and her ass to his hip to keep him worth paying attention to.

This is for Fat Joe, who has to sneak into The Bronx with a camera to prove himself, and pretend that n*ggas knew he was there.

Indescribable creativity by Bed-Stuy's very own Mos Def.

Last week was the making of DJ Webstar's "Dancing on Me" video. This week, the complete product has been distributed.

Not to take away from the Dipset crew, as Juelz's "Dipset (Santana's Town)" was one of the hottest joints in NYC for the summer 2003. And you may say "WTF" while watching this video. But there's an underlying meaning in this.

This pic is not a good look. Just like this song.

Joe Budden is mad because he didn't make Vibe's "best rapper ever" list.

This for the TRUE old school heads.

Yep! Another online listening session. Check out Method Man and Redman's Lights Out mixtape in full.

I would make a list of all the rappers who try (and fail) to be good actors-- a lot of whom are New York rappers-- but at this point, I'll refrain from doing that. 

Preceding the release of Method Man and Redman's Blackout 2 and Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II, both teams are pushing out mixtapes.

Harlem's very own DJ Webstar has come a long way since that viral "Chicken Noodle Soup" sh*t, which went (locally) big back in '06. But that's over now. 

Damn. This beat is kinda hard.

So Cam'ron is dropping his album Crime Pays on March 12th. So far, the music sounds good. Can't cosign that corny "Cookies and Apple Juice" nonsense. But everything else is good money.

Damn. What a wack news morning.
