Kanye West, who is known for his musical abilities and his various other ventures, has teamed up with philosopher/author J. Sakiya Sandifer to release "Thank You and You're Welcome." Kanye says that Sandifer was the inspiration behind the book.

He told MTV that; "He inspired the format of the book, because he wrote a book called 'Think, Think, Think and Think Again.' [He did] bullet points in bold graphics, and he expounded upon them ... whereas books hide the main points chapters in. You have to read so much to get so much out of it. We wanted to make it simple for people who are non-readers, who don't feel like doing all that, and still get the point across"

The book can currently be picked up on Kanye's site for only ten dollars. The book will hit store shelves July 7.

A clash of the titans! Two of hip-hop's greatest lyricists battle head to head to see which album is the greatest. Many hardcore hip-hop heads will tell you that Nas' Illmatic was the "end all, be all" of all hip-hop albums. That is, until you mention Big's Ready To Die. Both albums are true jewels. Damn this is torture for me, I'll let You all decide!

The Cool Kids, probably the most under-hyped duo in rap music. I got to show them some love, they're holding down the Midwest. This is the new mixtape, Gone Fishing. The tape paves the way for their upcoming album When Fish Ride Bicycles. Their lyrical and production skills are very impressive. The whole mixtape is a complete headbanger. "Real hip-hop lives, death to this fake sh*t!"

Download the mixtape here.

A "Best Hits" compilation tape by MC Drake, whom you may know as the physically disabled character on the t.v. series Degrassi. I got to say, there's alot of hype behind this dude. He actually sold out a show in less than five hours at his Atlanta debut. The mixtape features Lil Wayne whom Drake has worked closely with. Check it out and tell me what YOU think about it.
