Back home again, gonna shake the cobwebs outta this place. You can go here to check out some of the oral histories we gathered in Atlanta, and sign up here to record your own at our current stop in Newark, New Jersey.

Perhaps my favorite memory of ATL: The energy of this crowd at MJQ Concourse, all singing "Git Up Get Out" together as if it was their National Anthem. Which it probably should be.

At last, the voice of reason:

"It's a completely different scenario," said Snoop, barking over the phone from a hotel room in L.A. "[Rappers] are not talking about no collegiate basketball girls who have made it to the next level in education and sports. We're talking about ho's that's in the 'hood that ain't doing sh--, that's trying to get a n---a for his money. These are two separate things. First of all, we ain't no old-ass white men that sit up on MSNBC [the cable network home to Imus] going hard on black girls. We are rappers that have these songs coming from our minds and our souls that are relevant to what we feel. I will not let them mutha-----as say we in the same league as him."
