Sometimes Hip Hop can move at a pace too frantic for even the most devoted fan to keep up with. Albums and mixtapes are released at breakneck speed, careers are made and broken with the swipe of a pen, and somewhere in between all the madness actual music (the quality of which vacillates between excellent and god awful) is being made. Twitter provides a nice summary of everything 140 characters at a time. And if you’re the type that would rather not be bothered with stepping into the Twitterverse to catch up on the latest in Hip Hop, we’ve filtered through the top rapper’s tweets and consolidated all the week’s events into one convenient feed.
This week, The Game calls Lupe Fiasco weird on a track from “The Documentary 2,” Travis Scott hints at a collaboration with Kanye West coming soon, and Fetty Wap is stable after a motorcycle accident.
Lupe Fiasco Talks His Unsigned 360 Deal & Atlantic Records
You DO NOT need a 360 Deal in today's climate. All you need is what you always needed a good manager and hard work. https://t.co/7cIz4z8zyl

The dark side of it is that when I didn't sign a 360 deal they refused to honor the terms of my original deal https://t.co/7cIz4z8zyl

And basically tried to destroy my career on all levels in the process. https://t.co/7cIz4z8zyl
