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, Oakland rapper Bambu defends Kehlani and demands to fight Chris Brown, Cam’ron is set to headline “The Smokers Club” tour, and Fetty Wap and Masika Kalysha welcome a new baby.

As an Oakland resident, I know how much the Yay loves #KEHLANI + as a MAN, I don't find pleasure in attacking a young woman on social media.
