If you didn’t know, Method Man, Raekwon and Ghostface Killah are releasing a joint album called The Wu Massacre on December 22nd. To promote it they are releasing three Se7en inspired trailers, below are the first two.

DJ Ekin sits down with Raekwon to talk about the Wu Tang Clan, the new album, the industry, Michael Jackson, and of course the Joe Budden situation.

Raekwon is still on the promo run for OB4CL2. This time he’s in Berlin.

MTV has released their full Top 10 Hottest MCs list after running a long standing poll. The thing is though the fan poll apparently didn’t count for diddly squat because the final top 10 don’t reflect the fan choices.

I mean at one point, Joe Budden was leading the pack and although I stopped checking Im sure he ended up in the top 10 somewhere, if not the top 5. Not to mention the fact that Eminem isn’t in there at all and he won the fan poll, and as disappointing as Relapse was to me personally, I’m still pretty sure that he is a better MC than Kanye West or Gucci Mane, who landed at the 4 and 6 spots. Or Rick Ross for that matter.

And how in the hell is Drake Top 3? He doesn’t even have an album out yet. I’m not knocking the guy’s talent and have high hopes for his music and inclusion on such lists, in the future, but how can anyone be the 3rd hottest MC in the game without having proven themselves on any real level? What albums has he dropped? What battles has he overcome, lyrically or otherwise?

And finally, Jay-Z took out the number 1 spot. Ok, I can see how he had the momentum going this year with The Blueprint 3, but the album itself was a disappointment and no where near his best work. Yes I said it, and let me further the controversy by saying that I’m not a 100% sure Jigga at any point in his career deserved the top crown when matched against his peers in that era, let alone now. But I guess that just goes to show the sad state of Hip-Hop this year.

No scratch that, we’ve had some great albums and music this year. I guess what this really goes to show is the sad state of MTV.

Here is the full list:

Nas tells fans why he wasn’t on “Empire State of Mind” on The Blueprint 3 and why he wasn’t on Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2. He also talks about his project with Damian Marley and upcoming future albums… Oh… And Kanye.

Def Jam President Nas?

Raekwon sat down with Thisis50.com and discusses his favorite track he’s recorded, what he has learned from being in the industry and if the Joe Budden issue is dead and gone.

He also speaks on a possible new Wu-Tang album.

“Wu Tang is for the children… Puffy is good, but Wu Tang is the best!”

I’ve included that classic ODB moment after the break…

Hahaha… R.A. the Rugged Man makes a joke out of Joe Budden’s misfortune based on his own comments on Eminem not being the best rapper alive… Plus more laughs and name droping… Lil Wayne, Obama, 2Pac… R.A. has been in the game for a minute it’s dope to see him being successful with it and having a good time.

Murs and DJ Quik talk about fighting, fucking, eating pussy and playing video games. Mostly eating pussy. Then Quik throws a little jab at current day Eminem.

Part two after the jump, about more fighting, the West Coast, Police and Joe Budden vs. Raekwon.

This is kinda crazy and out of no where. I like it. Damon Dash, the co-founder of Roc-A-Fella, has formed a new record label to release a rap/rock album with The Black Keys providing the rock while a bunch of rappers provide the rap.

We’re talking about artists like Mos Def, Jim Jones, Q-Tip, Ludacris, Raekwon, RZA, Billy Danze of M.O.P., Pharoahe Monch, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, and more. Together they will release an album called Blak Roc this Thanksgiving.

Here is the official trailer and the first track, “Hoochie Coo,” featuring Jim Jones and Mos Def.

Busta Rhymes calls Raekwon and gives him the news that his album OB4CL 2 is number one on iTunes. Yes, ahead of The Blueprint 3. Congrats Rae.

Raekwon does a question and answer and speaks on trying to smuggle a gun into the awards because at the time Wu Tang had beef with Notorious BIG and his goons.

HipHopBeef caught up with Cam’ron and asked him about some, errrmm, Hip-Hop Beef, and more.

Here is the teaser for Raekwon’s “House Of Flying Daggers.”

Warren G is used to be a threat in West Coast Hip Hop game. He’s trying to make a comeback with his new album The G Files. On this track he links up with Raekwon and Nate Dogg. They all go in on this track. I guess Raekwon took a break from sending his goons to Randy Couture people in the face to feature on this track.
