After bearing gifts to places like Bogota, Barcelona and New York City last year, the street artist known simply as Blu strikes again.  This time he orchestrated a colossal mural in the streets of Warsaw, Poland.  The larger than life artwork depicts a war inspired scene compiled of a cartoonish band of armed soldiers and bombs falling from the sky.  This newest mural from Blu could potentially be part of a larger project that the painter intends to unleash but we'll just have to wait until more details can be uncovered.  Blu who hails from Italy, will be showing off some new creations at Nuart 2010 which is the 10th annual installment of the Stavenger, Norway hosted art festival.  So far however, nothing about his contribution to Warsaw indicates a tie in to his involvement at the festival.   

MTV has become notorious for it's much hyped debates over ranking the hop-hop artists of this generation.  While some still squabble over the results of previous contest results, a new category has been brought up on the agenda.  The title of Hottest Breakthrough MC was up for grabs.  With the remaining 5 nominees hailing from every corner of the nation, the potential for valid arguments across the board was interesting to say the least.  In the end Pittsburgh's Wiz Khalifa was selected as the winner, adding to a hell of a run he's been having this year.  Few if any new comers are more beloved than Wiz so the breakthrough crown bestowed upon him by MTV isn't a major shock to those who follow the leader of the Taylor Gang. Play the video to get a quick run through of how MTV chronicled the debate and a post victory reaction from Khalifa.
