Iron Mic: The How's Your News Of Hip Hop

I was going to post this clip a couple of days ago, but I was worried. On the one hand, it is crazy magical. On the other hand, I wanted my intentions to be clear that I was not making fun of anyone, and that I support all of the contestants on the Iron Mic competition. It's like the movie How's Your News, one of the most loving, well-intentioned projects of all time. But for community access televised rap battles.

Oh, also, 50 Cent posted it on his blog, and you know he would never do anything to insult anyone.
