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, Kid Cudi announces the release date for his upcoming album, unseen clips from Rihanna’s “Bitch Better Have My Money” video are released, and Vince Staples critiques 1990’s rap.

I'll be back stronger than ever, trust me.

@AwfulSam naw bro. no hipster nothing. drake can be a bit of a vulture on young rap niggas and i don't want lil kodak to be a victim of it

@TeesanKomo I guess u rite. it's not his job to develop them as artists. but the line between paying homage and wave riding is a blurry one
