I can't really tell you all the much about this track as far as a review goes because I only heard it once BUT maybe when I tell you why I'm not listening to it again maybe that'll be a hint. Okay, this track is so dope I vowed I wouldn't listen to it again until the album dropped because I already knew I'd play it out! Yeah, its like that!
Nas Feat. Busta Rhymes - Fried Chicken
Crazy, crazy shit. July 15th can't come fast enough!
In other Nas news, the man signed a one-year deal with...Fila?? Who signs with Fila?? This ain't the 80's man lol.
June 30, 2008
Nas Feat. Busta Rhymes - Fried Chicken
Young Chris - Never Die
This shit is sick! They should've put Chris on the real version because he does this track MUCH justice.
Young Chris - Never Die
Though the Ross/Jay version was classic, but this version isn't THAT far behind.
Young Buck - Laugh Now, Cry Later
There's been much discussion about this track as of late because of Buck saying, "I'm glad they kicked me out the fuckin' group," but me being the person I am I'm more moved by him calling out Barack Obama in the 2nd verse! lol. On some real nigga shit though this track is exceptional!
Young Buck - Laugh Now, Cry Later
I wonder if this means Buck and Yayo are really gonna fight?? Only time we tell...
Oh and I'm NOT late on this track, I had it last week so blame it on DivShare for you just getting it today lol.
Old New Music Pt. 2!
DJ Pharris Feat. R. Kelly, Fat. Joe, & Fabolous
Like that Gillie track in Pt. 1, this sounds really '01 BUT Fab rips it so its all good, I'm feelin' it. Oh yeah, who is DJ Pharris??
Gym Class Heroes Feat. The-Dream - Cookie Jar
You know I actually wondered how that nigga Tyga became so lame seeing his brother is a rockstar, but at that point I had really never listened to a Gym Class Heroes song. Now, that I have I completely understand where he got his lameness from because this record is corny x8. I mean more power to them if this shit blows, but it won't be off the strength of me bumpin' it lol.
Lupe Fiasco - Me & My Sneakers
Kanye West - The Stalker Song (Unreleased)
If I'm not mistaken (I very well might be) I think Kanye used a portion of this beat in Consequence's The Good, The Bad, The Ugly. Not saying that's a good or bad thing, just pointing it out.
Kanye West - Jigga My Nigga Freestyle
I used to have a bunch of these old Kanye freestyles from like '03, but I don't think I ever heard this one so I just assumed you hadn't either so here it is lol.
Old New Music Pt. 1!
As I've said before, DivShare was fuckin' up all weekend so I really never got a chance to post this music so instead of making a bunch of posts I figured I bundle a bunch of those records from last week into one. Enjoy.
Joell Ortiz - Summertime In Brooklyn
I had to post this first because I missed it like 2 weeks ago lol. Its a really good record over Jay's A Million And One Questions beat though he didn't rip it as hard as Kanye did lol. I liked that line where he said, "I'm where beef patties and coco bread is a sandwich." I must be from that place too because I've been doing it for year and I've never been to Brooklyn lol. All my Broward and JA heads know you go down to Charlie's get some beef patties, coco bread, and some of that bussin' ass fruit punch and make it happen!
Ludacris - Big Ass House
Luda is a fool for this! Totally random shit, but he still rips it.
Juice Feat. Crooked I - I Do It
Gillie Da Kid - Do Your Job
Sounds really 2001, but its still dope lol.
Obie Trice - The Giant
If you haven't heard, yes Obie Trice is no longer on Shady Records! I don't know why he left or got dropped, but after this record I could see why they wouldn't have wanted him around lol. Don't get it fucked up though O. Trice is sick! I still got Cheers in the car RIGHT now.
David Banner - Shawty Say
T-Pain Feat. Lil Wayne - Can't Believe It
They say Pain's first single is supposed to feature Lil Wayne BUT they said it was gonna be called Snap Yo' Fingers (original lol) so I don't think this is that record. Welp I guess we'll have to keep waiting...
Project Make McCain Exciting!
If you watch The Colbert Report you know he's been having this contest for fans to make the best green screen videos of John McCain's boring ass speech the night Barack officially became the democratic nominee and make him more exciting. These are 2 of my favorites:
This dude probably has too much time on his hands because he fit all that shit to actually rhyme LMAO!!
Classic!
Hitting ROC Bottom
Y'all know I fuck with The Real because these dudes are hilarious and they don't fall short here:
Damn, they did the girl Teairra Mari dirty!! LMAO!
Anyway, this was especially tight because MTV was randomly showing one of my old favorites from back in the day, Can't Hardly Wait starring Jennifer Love Hewitt's fine ass (I wanted to smash that so bad in '98! lol), and it had one of those ending like this where they freeze frame on all the main characters and say what happens to them after the movie. Ah, brings back memories of middle school. Good stuff lol.
Amy Winehouse Calls Kanye A "Cunt" & Punches A Fan! Hilarious!
I know you've heard all over that Amy changed some of the lyrics to Some Unholy War and said "at least I'm not opening for a cunt like Kanye" BUT nobody is really posting the performance so here it goes (Fiyah note: the magic happens at about 2 minutes in)!
I guess a guitar over the shoulder was the must-have it accessory at Glastonbury '08 lol. Anyway, after watching this I still find it hard to hate Amy (even though she's killing her and a possible racist lol) because I try to separate the music from the artist's personal shit (i.e. the reason I think Lil Wayne is a lame, but I like Tha Carter III or why I think Kanye's a dick, but is still his biggest fan lol) but still why the attack on Kanye?? I don't get it. I've been reading people saying its because of what happened at that Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival where 'Ye's performance was delayed 2 hours because they couldn't set up his stage and the crowd chanted "Kanye sucks" BUT I don't see what that has to do with Amy Winehouse. I mean wasn't she laid up in a hospital on her death bed when that happened?? I dunno, whatever lets move on to the punch!
Seemed like nothing to me, but I love how that guy says the person probably deserved it lmao.
Jay-Z's Full Glastonbury Performance; Plus Lupe!
Tony Yayo Wants To Fight Young Buck, Game, & Whoever Else
"Its gonna be a hot summer." We all know what happened last time we heard those words...nothing lol. Well Yayo said it on this interview and puts out there that he's tired of the bullshit and ready to take it to the streets! Lets go nigga!
For some reason I see this 2 ways. The first way I see it is like the Flavor Of Love 2 reunion special where Becky aka Buckwild throws her shoe at New York and shouts "step to this!" (still hilarious lol) as if she wanted to fight but we all know she didn't. The second way I see it is that Yayo is a convicted felon and he just might be down for whatever. I mean lets be honest, rich people have done dumber things (do I really need to go down the list??) so its not outside the realm of possibility that Yayo might not just be talking and really does wanna fight them. Who knows and only time will tell.
Oh yeah and no that wasn't really 50 that called in lol.
Travis Barker Drumming The Game's Dope Boys
Trav is the man! Dare I say, he's that nigga?? lol. Let's go!!
Though that's pretty much how the real song sounds it was still pretty nice and we all know Game could use the promo lol. Speaking of that did I ever tell y'all he got pushed back to late August?? Bullshit, right??
Greg Street Presents Nappy Roots - Good Day
Its so sad they let their '02 buzz die out like that, but here's the Nappy Roots attempt to get back in the game like I told you they would back in May.
Damn, what beat is this?!? Its like right on the tip of my tongue, but I just can't think of it! Oh well it ain't really that hot of a beat to begin with, but I know I've heard it before lol.
Anyway, this is a good song, but I'm gonna need something much better than this if I'm gonna cop the album.
June 29, 2008
Jay-Z Interview With Tim Westwood
I dunno why this didn't come up on my YouTube subscriptions, but whatever better late than never, right? Whatever I'll stop talking now and let you listen.
Jacki-O Talks About Brisco Threatening To Slap Her With A Wad Of Money
I read about this in the Rumors the other, but never really paid it any mind until my DivShare began fucking about and I started looking for other shit to post. Anyway, this shit is crazy! I mean I heard Brisco was a fuck boy and all, but damn. Now I ain't saying he is a fuck boy, but that's just what I heard lol. Hell, just listen to Jacki tell it (though she really doesn't go into much detail).
Oh yeah, just letting you know now that at about 9 or 10 minutes it the audio like rewinds and plays the last 2 minutes or so over, but after that it plays all the way through.
Damn, I wish she would've went into more detail about how Poe Boy did her wrong. Oh well she seemed really upset so maybe after she calms down we'll get more info. The more important question in all of this is why in the hell is Wayne shooting a video for A Milli??? Pointless if you ask me lol.
June 28, 2008
Day26 - Since You've Been Gone Video
Diddy talks for a few minutes at the beginning but trust me this IS the video lol.
Oh shit nigga look at Q and Dawn! Get-get-get it! lol.
June 27, 2008
T.I. - No Matter What Video
I'm still not sure why he made a video for this, but like I was telling my homegirl he needs to start cranking up as much buzz as possible if he's planning on selling any records. Well, that's all if the album is still supposed to be coming out August 12th.
Anyway, check out the new joint:
LOL @ Lil Duval trying to be serious! That is hilarious lol. Anyway, I see he had 8Ball & MJG in the video before the ink even dried on the contract, but that all good. I believe that was that lil girl group he used to have in there too...what ever happened to them?? They were pretty hot on those old mixtapes and then they kinda just disappeared.
Sitting back watching this joint and listening to the lyrics, I must say T.I. really brought out the best of his pen game on this joint. I mean I heard it before, but when I really listened to what he was saying in that 2nd and 3rd verse I was like dude spittin'! That makes me hopeful for Paper Trail, but who knows. I just hope he doesn't try to go too clean like Cassidy did with B.A.R.S. I mean it was a good album and all, but some of the songs sounded forced.
Nas - Sly Fox (Prod. By stic.man of dead prez)
This record was DEFINITELY necessary to address those losers over at Fixed News (aka Faux News or Fox Noise, whichever you prefer) who do nothing to hide their Republican media bias, fixed facts, and racist brand of "journalism". Go Nas!
Nas - Sly Fox
Sick, sick, ill! Nas killed this shit! Hmm, maybe Bill Orally will feature this on his next show lol.
As you can see by the zShare link, DivShare is tripping so I'll just post all the rest of this music I got tomorrow or Sunday.
Silkk The Shocker Still Livin'??
Yes yes, believe it or not Silkk The Shocker (Ahhh!) is still alive! See, I was on MySpace early and saw Lil Duval posted a bulletin entitled "this a movie i did and yes i did it only for the money" so I go in and this what I see:
A trailer for More Money, More Family! After watching the trailer the title of Duval's bulletin made A LOT more sense lol. I should also point out that inside the bulletin he went ahead and put it out there that Silkk is "the worst actor I've ever seen" and I just might have to agree lol. I mean Silkk makes Master P look like Will Smith although that little girl from Uncle P might be giving him a run for his money as worst I've ever seen lol.
Oh yeah and was I mistaken or did it say executive produced by Silkk The Shocker and Tracy McGrady?? I know you can do something better with your money than this Tracy lol.
Bill Gates Officially Leaves His Post At Microsoft
I thought he had already left, but he didn't and today was his last day. Three decades and over $50 billion later... damn, damn, damn lol. After you have that much money why work anyway?? Cheers to Bill Gates!
Fuck YouTube Pt. II: These Bitches Shut Down Obama's Channel!
Click To Enlarge!I think Fuck YouTube Pt. II the video might be in order after this shit. As I said in my last post I was waiting for Barack's camp to upload the video of he and Hillary Clinton campaigning together in NH, but once I was on his channel I clicked on a video and it said it was removed by the user and when I tried to go back to his channel it said: "This account is suspended." WTF YouTube??? How are you gonna shut down the next president of the United States of America??? I mean shutting me and a slew of others who tried to express themselves is one thing, but Barack Obama?? Y'all bitches have some nerve!
**UPDATE**
YouTube has wisely decided to restore Barack Obama's channel so no Fuck YouTube Pt. II for now...but Fuck Lil Wayne Pt. 3 might be coming sooner than you think ;-).
Dream Ticket A Real Possibility??
I just finished watching Hillary Clinton campaign with Barack Obama in Unity, New Hampshire and while I'm waiting for the Obama camp to upload the footage to YouTube I must say they sure did look great together out there. I honestly don't think he needs Hillary to win in November, but there is a certain air of dominance when those 2 are on the same stage working TOGETHER. Plus, I think some of that bitter 'put Hillary on the ticket or we won't vote for you' sentiment from her supporters is starting to die down so he could choose her without looking like he was forced to.
Now, I'm not saying he should pick her, but I am saying they look good together and I wouldn't mind it anymore if he did.
Memphis & Minnesota Swap Love For Mayo
That title might sounds a little funky, but fuck it its 3 in the morning. Anyway, in an eight player deal the Memphis Grizzlies acquired the draft rights to O.J. Mayo in exchange for the draft rights to Kevin Love. Also heading to Memphis are Marco Jaric (who knows why Minnesota traded Sam Cassell for him in the first place), Antoine Walker (who knows why the Heat traded him for Ricky Davis), and Greg Buckner while Mike Miller, Brian Cardinal, and Jason Collins all head to Minnesota.
I know some of you are thinking 'why didn't Minnesota just draft Kevin Love in the first place' and the answer to that is if they did they wouldn't have been able to get rid of Marco Jaric's terrible 3-year $21 million contract (again, who knows why they traded Cassell for him...especially at that price lol) while bringing on a shooter in Mike Miller and the guy they really wanted all along. Smart move by the T-Wolves, but then again we know what happened last time they pulled off a draft day trade, anyone recall Brandon Roy to Portland for the draft rights to Randy Foye?? Yeah, Minnesota, how did that work out for ya?? lol.

Sky2G - 1-9-84 (Prod. By Yung Mizz Productions)
This last track is by my man Sky2G! My dudes is a real Hip-Hop cat and he knows that's the kinda shit I rock with so when he gave me this record I knew I had to post it. Check him out:
Sky2G - 1-9-84 (Prod. By Yung Mizz Productions)
Definitely a hot record and shout out to Yung Mizz Productions on the track. Go ahead and stop playing and check Sky out on MySpace at http://www.myspace.com/skylarstokes. I'm co-signing my dude so stay on the look out.
Brisco Feat. Lil Wayne & Flo Rida - Just Know That (Remix)
I'm not the biggest Brisco fan around, but this joint right here is ridin' like a muthafucka! I first heard the original when I was out of town and adding Wayne actually brought more than it took away this time around. Peep it:
Brisco Feat. Lil Wayne & Flo Rida - Just Know That (Remix)
I backed this shit up a few times before I uploaded it and this might be my new anthem lol. If I was working for Cash Money we'd be packaging this track up as a single and putting it out on the market.
Common feat. Pharrell - Announcement
Should Kanye be getting jealous?? I mean last year we were hearing about Kanye beats Com was passing on and now we have to back to back records with Pharrell. Oh well, that's why I'm in it for the music and not the politics lol.
Common feat. Pharrell - Announcement
This one was just okay to me, nothing special. Bonus record at best if you ask me.
Killer Mike - 10 G's
Killa Kill! I believe this record is on Pledge Allegiance To The Grind II (which is in stores July 8th!), but I guess we'll have to wait and see. Whatever the case this shit is a banger!
Killer Mike - 10 G's
Oh yes! Grind Time!
Rick Ross - Cry (Unreleased)
Got some more unreleased Ross for y'all and this time its actually album worthy lol.
Rick Ross - Cry (Unreleased)
Yeah this record is tough, it should've been a bonus track or on the Japanese version or something lol.
Surprise! Rose #1, Beasley #2
I turned NBA Live off just in time to see Derrick Rose sitting on the couch talking to Stephen A. Smith, but it was a no-brainer who the Bulls were picking. Its been a subject of debate if the Heat would take Michael Beasley #2 and they made the right decision and made it happen. I mean O.J. Mayo is nice, but the Heat have enough guards.
BTW, no surprise O.J. went #3 to my former team the Minnesota Timberwolves. I'm sure they'll misuse him and waste away his best years, but best of luck to him anyway.
Lupe Fiasco - Where Do I Go (Unreleased)
If I had to guess I'd say this track is from like '01, but who knows.
Lupe Fiasco - Where Do I Go (Unreleased)
Rich Boy - Rollin Rollin
Got some new Rich Boy...well new to me at least. Sweet beat, okay lyrics, you know the usual lol.
Rich Boy - Rollin Rollin
AC - Soul 4 Real
This dude AC is nice! If anyone has a mixtape or album on his hit me up.
AC - Soul 4 Real
Eve Feat. Robin Thicke - Fantasy
I dunno what the fuck is up with Eve's new project, but the push backs have brought us full circle a year later. Hopefully the album drops eventually. This is the new first single maybe??
Eve Feat. Robin Thicke - Fantasy
Kinda hot, I can fuck with it, but I dunno how much the radio will. You know them niggas are fickle lol.
Kanye West - Gotta Pose (Unreleased)
Here's an old Pre-College Dropout Kanye track...hell I think this is even pre-Roc-A-Fella lol.
Kanye West - Gotta Pose (Unreleased)
'Ye has come a LONG way. I'm proud.
Trey Songz - Crazy
This track started off pretty hot....but then kinda got annoying. You know, like A Milli lol.
Trey Songz - Crazy
Memphis Bleek - No Drought
This track was kinda boring so I spent the past day going back and forth on whether I should post it or not, but fuck it its Bleek.
Memphis Bleek - No Drought
Not that bad off 2nd listen, but still not amazing. I wonder if he's dropping a new album??
Thursday Billboard Update - 6/26/08
Damn, you'd think that the music industry was finally back if you just looked at the #1 debuts the past few weeks. Last week Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III made a huge splash (allegedly) selling over a million copies and this week Coldplay takes over with 721,000 sold of their new album Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends. I'm sure we'll be back down to earth next week lol.
Anyway, with a 69% decrease CIII drops to #2 moving 309,000 units. Still not bad, but I told you the reign would be short lol. Down at #5 in the top 10 is Plies' Definition Of Real which managed 68,000 in its 2nd week. As expected, Rihanna's 3rd album Good Girl Gone Bad skyrockets 124-7 due to the re-release of the album selling 63,000! That's a 930% sales increase if you're counting at home lol.
As Coldplay dethrones Wayne on the Billboard 200, Katy Perry dethrones their Viva La Vida (1-6) atop the Hot 100 with I Kissed A Girl (2-1). New in the top 10 are Plies' Bust It Baby Pt. 2 (11-8), The Pussycat Dolls' When I Grow Up (18-9), and Miley Cyrus' 7 Things (70-10).

Now we have Kwe and Skillz:
June 25, 2008
The Game Feat. Travis Barker - Dope Boys
Its about time Trav took the next step and just started hopping on the rap records since he already been in 1000s of videos and remixed a bunch of records lol. No question if this is going on the album.
The Game Feat. Travis Barker - Dope Boys
Oh yeah if you hadn't heard L.A.X. got pushed back to August.
Akon - Clap Again
I'm not the biggest Akon fan in the world, but this is pretty dope.
Akon - Clap Again

Homegirl from PCDs needs to find a nickname or something because that name is a bitch to try to spell lol. Oh well this song is dope.
Pharrell Feat. Nicole Scherzinger - Heartbeat
Busta Rhymes - Kill The Whole Town
This track has that old school 1990s Busta feel to it...awesome!
Busta Rhymes - Kill The Whole Town
Oh yeah that other dude spittin' is Reek Da Villian if you were wondering.
Rick Ross - I Get Love Too
I dunno if I heart this before or not, but I'm glad it didn't make the album because its kinda boring lol. They say its produced by the Runners, but it didn't have those Runners signature sounds in it though. Who knows, I know I don't lol.
Rick Ross - I Get Love Too
Alicia Keys Feat. LL Cool J - Teenage Love Affair (Remix)
Alicia Keys is so sexy! ...Oh yeah she makes good music too! Listen:
Alicia Keys Feat. LL Cool J - Teenage Love Affair (Remix)
Yeah this is definitely dope shit here.
Ace Hood - Collection Plate
I might be gone for awhile so I figured I'd post a bunch of music...well at least as much as I can. We'll see, but lets start with this Ace record Collection Plate.
Ace Hood - Collection Plate
I dunno where all this big talk is coming from because I live in Broward and I've never heard of dude until I heard Cash Flow came on 99 Jamz lol. I ain't mad at him though I hope he reps us well.
G-Unit's NBA Playoffs-style T.O.S. Commercial
My internet is back full force now so I can actually finishing doing shit I have to do, but the first YouTube video I saw on my subscriptions was this:
That was actually pretty dope. Maybe they'll do another one with Yayo and Buck...oh my bad, a nigga be gettin' confused lol.

(Side bar: Respect to Wayne for all the success but Lollipop is still a terrible song, sorry lol.)
Rickey Smiley Morning Show Is Coming To 99 Jamz!
So I'm driving to work this morning and I flip it to Big Lip and I hear some other niggas on there talking. At first I just figured Big Lip and Supa Cindy were on vacation, but when they were going to commercial dude said Rickey Smiley Morning Show coming July 7th.
That's great news (though I'm already a dedicated Steve Harvey Morning Show listener), but that also begs the question what happened to Big Lip??? I mean you know they not gonna put him back in the primetime 6-10 slots because that's Khaled's shit now so that just leaves 10-2, 2-6, and late nights. Welp, I guess we shall see, but yeah Rickey Smiley is coming to South Florida!!!
Sorry, Sorry, Sorry
Sorry I've been gone all day, but its been a weird day for me today! First of all my internet connection is being mad homo so I can't post and then some fool hit me today on Oakland Park blvd. Shit was crazy, but Honey Dip (my car) is okay so don't worry lol.
Anyway, I'm gonna try to make it work with the Sidekick so bare with me!
Lil Hop: California Love
I posted the Welcome To The South Lil Hop back in April and now dude is taking it to the West Coast. I'm guessing the East is next (geez that'll be like 20 minutes lol).
50 Cent The Truth & The Whole Truth Interview
You know what?? I don't even know what to think about this whole 50 Cent/Young Buck shit anymore so I'll just let 50 tell it and keep my thoughts in my head this go 'round.
June 23, 2008
Spit Ya Game: Asher Roth (Next Eminem??)
Now, I've been hearing a lot in the past few weeks about this white kid from Philly named Asher Roth that's supposed to be spittin'. I even downloaded the his Gangsta Grillz mixtape The Greenhouse Effect myself (which I have yet to listen to but will soon), but this is the first time I've actually heard dude spit. Check him out:
Inevitably, of course, he was gonna be compared to Eminem because he is the white rapper standard, but damn did you hear dude's voice?? This man sounds JUST like Em! I'm not faulting him because of his voice, but damn! He's to Eminem what Shyne and Guerrilla Black were to Biggie, what Black Haze is to 2Pac, and what Angelous is to Jay-Z. I dunno if that's a good or bad thing, but off that shit above he definitely gets Fiyah's seal of approval because that was ILL!
Surprise! Don Imus Said Some More Racist Shit
Here's what ya' boy Imus had to say about the Dallas Cowboy formerly known as Pacman:
Wow! Now, I don't wanna hear nothing about "fire him" or "take him off the air" because we did that last time with the nappy headed hoes thing and a few months later he was back on the job. This old bastard is just a racist, face it. This is how a lot of white people think about us and there's no need getting all up in arms because that's how it is and that's how its gonna be especially with old ass dickheads like this who're just waiting to die.
The funniest thing about the whole video is at the end when Brian Kenny says Imus will "explain" his comments tomorrow. What is there to explain?? What he said says it all.
How Wack Is This??: Shaq Disses Kobe!
Okay, so I'm watching PTI and as many of you might know SportsCenter comes on directly afterward at 6pm and the lead story was about Shaq dissing Kobe at some club in New York. I was like WTF and then they played the hysterical video that I've posted below.
Click here to view the entire video "freestyle" (if you can bare lol).
Okay, you've heard it, right?? Kool, now how WACK was that??? I mean it was wack to diss Kobe, but I'm more so talking about the "freestyle", that shit was atrocious! I thought we had seen the last of the Diesel trying to rhyme when he got ethered by Skillz back in '04 (exhibit A and exhibit B), but hopefully this isn't a sign of this to come (though it would be kinda funny if he actually recorded a full diss record for Kobe lol). This is a definite L for the Shaq regardless lol.
Last thing, was that Cory Gunz on stage co-signing?? That nigga better stay clear of Shaq's lyrical wackery or he's gonna stay on the bench for another 4 years for trying to ride with Shaq on a cloud of wackness. You did good with the A Milli track, follow that path young man, not the Shaq path lol.
**UPDATE**
Here's what Shaq told Stephen A. via ESPN.com about this whole freestyle debauchery:"I was freestyling. That's all. It was all done in fun. Nothing serious whatsoever. That is what MCs do. They freestyle when called upon. I'm totally cool with Kobe. No issue at all. And by the way, don't forget, six albums, two platinum, two gold. Anybody who knows me knows I'm a funny freestyler. Check the NBA DVD when I was rapping about Vlade Divac during my first championship run. Please tell everybody don't make something out of nothing."
I guess he can get a pass, but that shit was just terrible lol.
STFU Award: Kanye
Anybody that knows me knows I'm an equal opportunity critic and I get on anybody who says something dumb whether its Soulja Boy or whether its Kanye. I show no favoritism when it comes to public figures (or even regular ol' niggas) talkin' out the ass. Though it pains me to son my nigga 'Ye, I got out of my bed from a severe toothache because these following comments from a recent blog entry are so insanely moronic its almost sad. Check it out:
Soulja boy is fresh ass hell and is actually the true meaning of what hip hop is sposed to be. He came from the hood, made his own beats, made up a new saying, new sound and a new dance with one song. He had all of America rapping this summer. If that ain't Hip Hop then what is? A bunch of wannabe keep it real rappers that ain't even relevant, recycling samples trying to act like it's 96 again and all they do is hate on new shit? Niggas always talk about the golden age but for a 13 year old kid, this is the golden age!!! That song was so dope cause everything he said had a hidden meaning... that's Nas level shit... he just put it over some steel drums which is also some Nas shit if you had the 2nd album cassette with the bonus track "Silent Murder" on it. In closing... new niggas get ya money$$$$$$$$$$ Keep this shit fresh and original.... ain't no fuckin' rules to this shit and that's what real hip hop is to me.
Goodness, where do I start?!?!?
Okay, as you know I've stayed completely neutral on this whole Soulja Boy/Ice T fiasco. Partially because I've been so busy, partially because I've had this toothache, but mainly because I didn't care. The reason I don't care is because they're both wrong! Soulja Boy DID NOT kill Hip-Hop (alone...j/k lol) because were going through a dry spell a couple of years before he even popped up. If anything he's responsible for lowering standards even further and making the bottom of the barrel that much deeper, not killing the genre. Adversely Soulja Boy shouldn't get a pass for making terrible music just because he's 17 or because he's "gettin' money" and he damn sure shouldn't get one for talking down to a legend because his video was funny (I don't know because I never watched it...I told you I didn't care lol).
Back to Kanye: man, what the fuck are you talking about??? Seriously bro, "Nas level shit"?? Really?!? Now, I don't wanna shit on anybody's opinion and make it seem like I'm "hatin'" (though even vaguely comparing Soulja Boy to NAS
By saying, "that song was so dope cause everything he said had a hidden meaning," is a poor attempt to make Crank That seem like it was some well thought out lyrical track with ill metaphors that took time to figure out and brought excitement upon the realization of each's true meaning. I beg to differ. The only people who didn't know what that nigga was talking about were older, out of touch (mainly white) people. Seriously, who thought he was talking about a squirt gun when he said "Supersoak that ho"??? I'd simply say Crank That was a regular ass song with regular ass slang, not a record with "hidden meaning". Hell, even if you do consider Crank That as a song with a hidden meaning doesn't mean you can compare it to I Gave You Power or shit like that. Just because something is the same doesn't mean its on the same level Kanye. That's like saying every club song is good or bad, or that every conscious song is good or bad just because they fall in a certain category. On some real shit Kanye should be ashamed for even suggesting Soulja Boy was making tracks on or even near Nas' level.
The next thing I wanted to talk about is how is Kanye gonna trash niggas for "recycling samples" when samples are what he built is entire career off of?? I know his samples are "original" but at the end of the day they are still samples and you're not gonna tell me that he was the first person to use all of the ones he's used. That part is just beyond me.
Then wassup with him bashing people for trying to make it like its 96 when he keeps pulling shit from the 80s?? Like all these lil "hipster" niggas, I don't see how they're seen as original when they call are just trying to re-live the 80s. Oh yeah and what was so original about Crank That again??? If I'm not mistaken snap music was already out before 2007 and Soulja Boy didn't invent it or the concept of having a dance to go with your song (a dance compiled of a bunch of other people's dances might I add).
Believe it or not I did agree with Kanye in one regard and that's when he said, "for a 13 year old kid, this is the golden age." That's real shit right there that can't be disputed because most people born in the mid-90s don't care what Jay-Z, Biggie, Nas or Pac did 10-15 years ago or how classic their music was because this bullshit music of today is all they know. That's why I try not to get mad at the music industry for the trash of today because at the end of the day a business is in the business of making money so they're only gonna do what they feel they can sell. They're take a risk here in there, but its mostly about the bottom line. Like it or not, kids these days don't wanna hear about their history or injustices or the political system, they wanna hear money, hoes, and cars. That's not necessarily a good thing, but it is the truth of the matter.
However you put it or whatever your explanation, comparing what Soulja Boy does to anything that Nas does musically is just outrageous. I still love Kanye and think he's a great artist (though he joined the long list of rappers and singers on T-Pain's dick), but I can't rock with him on this so Mr. West seriously needs to STFU!
Besides, let Crank That had beat Good Life or Stronger out for a Grammy, VMA, or any award and Kanye would be singing a TOTALLY different tune right now lol.

T.I. - A Better Day
I don't know if this is new or old, whether its gonna be on Paper Trail or left on the chopping board, none of that but I do know this shit is fiyah!
T.I. - A Better Day
Ripped it! Hmm...it doesn't sound too old but maybe its just an unreleased track like Hunt 'Em Down?? I dunno, I guess we're gonna have to wait and see.
Speaking of Paper Trail, they're gonna have to push that shit back. They say its coming out on August 12th BUT that's about a month and a half from now and he doesn't even have a single out. Maybe we can re-do that Sept. 11th thing again...well 9th because the 11th is on a Thursday lol. Hell, can you believe its album September all over again?? Crazy! Oh yeah, back to T.I., Atlantic holla at me!!
Royce Da 5'9" - I'm Me
I believe this was originally Wayne's track, but whatever this shit its Royce's now because he totally owned it! If you haven't heard this shit yet pay attention!
Royce Da 5'9" - I'm Me
That's how Rap is done nigga!!
John Legend Feat. Andre 3000 - Green Light
I posted a snippet for this a few weeks ago, but here's the whole track!
John Legend Feat. Andre 3000 - Green Light
This shit is so dope! I don't know what Legend had to do to get Dre to spit on his single, but we NEED this!
Musiq Soulchild - Radio
I heard this track for the first time Tuesday when Teddy T was checking his e-mail and he had it in an e-mail blast. If you've never heard this track prepared to be shocked! Trust me, you've never heard Musiq like this before in your life!
Musiq Soulchild - Radio
Most times when niggas stray from they style its wack, but this record is HOT!
Crooked I - Dear Tupac
These next 4 tracks are all old also, but they were exceptional so I decided to post them individually.
Crooked I - Dear Tupac
This was obviously for Pac's b-day on the 16th (he'd be 37 now!) but I'm also obviously a few days late lol. Its all good because this shit is still dope.
