Good to see YN’s connects finally paying off, classic material, we need to see more.

Damn, these crackers are worse singers than the Diabolical.

(by way of Rap Radar)

It is what it says on the tin. Apparently the tortoise is called MF Linus. Obviously too much time on their hands. We’re refering to the tortoise of course who should get a proper job rather than eating fruit and listening to back pack rap, it’s owner was perfectly justified in making this legitimate piece of art.

See the full video HERE courtesy of Robert Popper. There’s even more tortoise rap video HERE. This is definitely some new shit we didn’t know about.

Apparently Linus is taking requests for his next epic adventure. Not the music, that will be Doom all the way, we’re talking the type of food he’ll be eating.

Looks like Chubb Rock’s dream came true this year as Hip-Hop was well and truly in the building. We like the way they used the ‘Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group’ category to tick the Kanye, Jay Z, TI and Weezy box but poor MIA got nadda except the publishing. Also shout to Estelle reppin’ the Brits.

Twitter is seemingly the new newness albeit a bit boring unless you really want to know what your favourite artist’s favourite blogger’s favourite artist’s favourite actor is doing on a minute by minute basis. In the meantime Hip-Hop blogging graduated a minute ago and we recently celebrated it’s finest output HERE. Today, the essential weekly guide to the arts in Saturday’s Guardian featured the Hip-Hop Blog World Cup winner Byron Crawford.

Part two of our January 2nd double jug-fest is where we’ve upped the Photoshop ante for all of the designers dem. How? Well, Katie Kay isn’t actually stood in front of some ‘Shook Ones’ adverts at all. Nope, she’s actually lounging in a grimy Soho office. What technical trickery is this? Don’t worry, it was brought to you by the same design geniuses who put issue 1 of Fat Lace together. Katie, for those that don’t know, is a regular – if not THE regular – in ‘realistic’ UK grot mag ‘Escort’, edited by our mans Jimbo Hundleby, and a charming northern lass to boot. We’re not sure if she’s actually visited the 41st Side Houses where so many of the illest QB luminaries hail from, but she is from Blackpool, so she rolls trife life e’yday and has to drink away the pain of being asked to flash her top vaginas for the benefit of a niche hip-hop website. Feel free to click on and look at her Noyds. Cor (she’s) mega etc…

Take an Up Nork Tit after the jump…

Get ready for a double dose of QB-themed chesticles today as we usher in the New Year in the way we know best – tits and hip-hop ephemera combining to full NSFW effect. Of course, Prodigy is probably beating off in his cell to an old copy of Club International or Swank right now, using some cooking grease from the prison kitchens as lube. We’re sure he’s seen ‘Shawshank Redemption’ and is chipping away at a tunnel in his cell using his sickle cell medication, the hole in the wall disguised by a tatty old Hip-Hop Honeys pics ripped out of the middle of H.H.C. He’ll escape in the daylight and elope to a sunny idyll with Havoc and E. Money Bags. Unless he’s out already. What are we, his P.O.? Either way, check out the jacket on the legendary Jo Guest here – a promo item that ethers your whole wardrobe, especially now that it smells of lady parts…

More cheekiness after the jump…
