Another Chess Rapper

From "DJ Muggs, Gza Get Their Chess Game Up With Grandmasters" at BallerStatus.net:
On Sunday (August 21), DJ Muggs gave selected media the first preview of his upcoming album, entitled DJ Muggs vs. Gza: Grandmasters, a collaborative album between the Cypress Hill's Muggs and Wu-Tang's Gza.

As far as the title and theme of the project, it's a reference to chess, a favorite pastime of the Genius....

"The highest level of the chess masters is the Grandmaster. The highest level of the DJ or the emcee is the Grandmaster -- it's synonymous with both," Muggs explained.
Genius? After this, someone is going to have to work hard to convince me that our culture isn't destined for the trash heap of history.
