ENJ recently caught up with Street Star Norbes of Smack/URL to chop it up about several topics. Norbes speaks on how managing Math Hoffa introduced him to the battle world, his relationship with Smack, New York City's resurgence on the battle scene, and Hoffa's ban from the league because of his fight with Serius Jones.
"He's still banned. We haven't backed off of that stance and we really can't for the simple face that we do gotta set the precedent," Norbes said. "If we allow that and bring him back, especially because of my relationship with Math. We can't be light on him in that situation. It's a tough call because at the end of the day I love the nigga, that's my brother. It's a real awkward situation. I don't want it to build a rift between us, but I really do think it's a little bit of separation that me and him do gotta mend because of the incident. It's a tough situation to be in."

Memphis rapper Lord Infamous has passed away suddenly at the age of 40. Infamous, real name Ricky Dunigan, was one of the founding members of Three 6 Mafia, and is the half brother of group member DJ Paul.
Original Three 6 members Gangsta Boo and Juicy J tweeted the bad news this morning.
Early reports are that he died of a heart attack while touring overseas.
Three Six had been working on a reunion album under the name Da Mafia 6ix. Arists in the new group included 5 of the original 6 members, Infamous, Paul, Boo, Crunchy Black and Koopsta Knicca. In November they released the mixtape, 6ix Commandments.
In 2006 the group won the Best Original Song Oscar for "It's Hard Out Here For a Pimp" from the movie Hustle & Flow.
Kendrick Lamar and artist Eddie Peake team up up for a unique visual for K. Dot's song "Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst," off of the album, Good Kid, M.A.A.D City.
Peake creates a mural using the words of the song while Kendrick cruises through his old Compton stomping grounds.
At the end of the clip the Top Dawg Entertainment artist spits a freestyle while admiring Peake's work. This is the first of a 2-part video. The second one will air in January 2014.
When the lights shut off, an artist's dream is that their work will stand the test of time. The ones that influence our culture are the ones we most remember. Here, two powerful creative forces come together to elevate the status quo and lay ground to their legacy. This is their poetry. Sing about them. This is part one.

Video And Poll After The Jump
Playing defense in the National Basketball Association is a hard task. Opposing players are big, fast and strong, but there's nothing worse than getting posterized.
That's exactly what happened to rookie Ben McLemore of the Sacramento Kings on Friday, December 20, when LeBron James of the Miami Heat welcomed him to the NBA with a thunderous dunk.
The same thing happened to New Orleans Pelicans player Jeff Withey in November when Xavier Henry of the Los Angeles Lakers came down the middle of the paint and put him on a poster with a nasty dunk.
NBA.com just put up a video of the dunks side by side and asked whose was better. The one by 6'6 Henry or the flush by 6'8 King James?
Take a look at the video, vote in our poll, then sound off in the comment section below.
STAR talks young rappers taking pictures with rocket launchers, Obama's half brother writing a book on family abuse, Shaquille O'Neal putting Shaunie in check and the Yahoo mail quagmire.
Radio legend Troi Torain (STAR) always delivers hard-hitting objective truth. As a culture critic he is vicious, as a businessman he is relentless, as a luminary he is un-matched.
Considered a radio pioneer by many, STAR has set precedents on the urban landscape and was recently inducted into News One's "Top 20 Black Radio Jockeys Of All Time."
STAR & BUC WILD made the national stage on MTV (1999) but it was their radio show on New York's Hot 97 and Power 105 (2000 - 2006) that secured their place in Hip-Hop history.
Torain's resume includes The Source magazine, MTV Networks, Hot 97, Power 104.1, Power 105.1, Pulse 87, Hip-Hop Weekly magazine, Vladtv, Thisis50, 100.3 The Beat, shot97.com and VH1 (The Gossip Game).

Floyd Mayweather Jr. recently chopped it up with Fighthype.com about several topics. The pound-for-pond best boxer in the world said he'll never do business with Bob Arum again and for that reason a Manny Pacquiao will never happen, gave his opinion that Adrien Broner should move down from welterweight to junior welterweight to get his career back in order, and spoke on the WBC making Pacquiao the No. 1 contender for his welterweight belt and the Filipino fighter's IRS problems.
"Floyd Mayweather is at the level now he can come out with his own world championship belt...I'm 45 and 0 throughout my professional career, and like I always said before, and I'ma say it again; you put 'em in front of me, I'll beat 'em...you gotta realize this, everybody kept talking about the title, he's mandatory; he can have the belt. A belt doesn't make me."
