Moby Attacked in Boston

Moby was attacked as he tried to get into his car following a gig at Boston's Paradise Club last night. According to the musician, he signed autographs for fans outside the venue when three men assaulted him with mace and blows to the back of his head.

"I turned around to see what was going on and one of them punched me in the face a couple of times and then they all ran away," Moby posted on his Web site. "The assault could've been a lot worse but I'm very curious as to why three men would coordinate an attack on me? [I'm] hardly the most physically threatening person in the world."

Moby is encouraging his attackers to anonymously sign on to his message board and describe their actions and perspectives. "I'm honestly very curious," he continued. "And if anyone sees me in the next couple of weeks and I have some big bruises or stitches on my face, well at least you know why."

“My President”

Young Jeezy | 2008

Young Jeezy teams up with Nas on this track, in which he compare his own success with the idea of an African-American winning the Democratic Party's nomination in the 2008 presidential election. "When I pulled up in my car, that s--- was unbelievable to people in my neighborhood because they were like, 'We grew up with him. How the hell did he accomplish this?'" he told Rolling Stone. "I feel like it was the same way with Obama. I grew up all this time, but I've never seen a black man this close to running this country."
