Okay so it’s February, and this post should have been done in December, but when has hip hop ever been early for anything? Anyway, here is our list of 10 things that will shake up the rap world in 2008. Hopefully, in 2009 we can brag about some of these coming true, even if it’s just one thing. Read more
