Shyne Calls Kendrick Lamar's Album 'Trash'
At first I was gonna bash Shyne in this post (and I hold out the right to bash him at a later date), but he's so clearly just a lonely ass nigga begging for attention that I'm gonna pass. No one (including Shyne) thinks good kid, m.A.A.d. city is trash, but everyone knows no one cares about Shyne.
Think about it, who's checking for Shyne right now? Is anybody you know hoping to hear more of this from a rapper that looks like this? Fuck no! A dead bee has more buzz than Shyne does right now, that's why he went after Rick Ross, Diddy, and Drake 2 weeks ago, and that's why he tweeted this bullshit tonight; he's lonely and badly needs attention. Why else would the creator of this lash out at an album everyone agrees is either classic or damn near it?
Now, I would tell you to go download Shyne's garbage ass Gangland mixtape so he doesn't kill himself because of loneliness and depression, but really, how bad of a thing would that be? Again, think about it.

STFU Award: Kelly Dwyer & The Asian American Journalists Association
A major contributing factor in this "decision" was pressure from the Asian American Journalists Association, who called for an apology Saturday.
On Monday, Yahoo! Sports
Sigh. Here we go again.
First off, can we please stop with this oversensitive bullshit already? It's so fucking pathetic that a grown damn man can't make an attempt at humor on Twitter without dickholes like the AAJA and Kelly Dwyer jumping down his throat.
Fuck it, I'm not even going to waste my time roasting these idiots for getting up-in-arms over a fucking tweet, I'm just going to say, PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP!

STFU Award: Kendrick Perkins
"You don't see Kobe [Bryant] tweeting," Perkins said. "You don't see Michael Jordan tweeting. If you're an elite player, plays like that don't excite you. At the end of the day, the guys who are playing for the right reasons who are trying to win championships are not worrying about one play."They also are not tweeting about themselves talking about going down to No. 2. I just feel [James] is always looking for attention and he wants the world to like him." via Yahoo! Sports
Good observation Kendrick, Kobe and Jordon didn't tweet about the dunk, I wonder why that is? Oh yeah, BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE TWITTER ACCOUNTS! I swear, no matter what he does, some sensitive doucher is gonna take offense to something he does. Sad, sad, sad.
Hey Kendrick, wipe the nut off your chin, get over it, and SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Now let's all re-live the moment that has big ho ass Kendrick Perkins mad at LeBron for tweeting about.

STFU Award: Young Jeezy
This is only the third STFU Award given out in 2011 and that is just unacceptable. I vow to hand out more in 2012 (maybe even via video).
Anyway, what the fuck is Young Jeezy talking about? He used Pres. Obama's immense popularity to make a hit in 2008, and now he thinks he's owed something? Nigga please! I mean, it's okay for someone to capitalize off someone else's popularity, but it begins to take a turn for the lame when that person starts to feel entitled as if he's at all responsible for the popular person's popularity. Young Jeezy is as responsible for Barack Obama being president as I am for Bed Intruder having 94 million views. Yeah, my viewership helped, but it barely accounts for a fraction of its success. (Side note: No I will not be making any video asking Antoine Dodson to give me what I'm owed.)
And besides all that, did Jeezy not see all the grief those racists Republicans gave Barack when Michelle invited Common to the White House? What does he think would happen if the self-proclaimed Snowman, who still raps about moving "yams" and "chickens," got invited? Fox News might explode.
Young Jeezy, shut the fuck up!

STFU Award: Consequence
Now I've been trying to avoiding talking about this fool in hopes that he would get his shit together and disappear, but nope, the nigga wants to make diss records and make outlandish claims on the radio. Can you believe this nigga actually said he's the "most talked about commodity in Hip-Hop?" Most laughed at? Maybe. But most talked about? Nigga please!
How are you the most talked about and have to tell people to follow you on Twitter in radio interviews?? How are you the most talked about when you can't even crack 10,000 downloads on DatPiff?? Right now, more people are talking about what Odd Future is not doing than what Consequence is. On some real shit, could you name 5 Consequence songs without assistance from Google or clicking that DatPiff link? I know I couldn't, and neither could anyone outside of in his immediate family, and even that's not a given.
The truly sad part is that Cons isn't even washed up, he never even made it to the water. Like Pusha T said, nobody has ever said they wanted to hear Consequence. Knowing that, you'd think he'd be more grateful for his opportunity, but nope he carries on like this instead. That's why he's the new Delusional Rapper and that's why he's getting the STFU Award. Consequence, just take the L and shut the FUCK up, please.

STFU Award: Ric Bucher
I'm not gonna lie, if I was Dan or Stugotz, I would've hung up on Ric's bitch ass around the 9:50 mark when he said disrespected my show for the 2nd or 3rd time by saying he didn't ask to be on the show. Yeah, you might not have asked to be on the show, but you agreed to do it and you knew the type of questioning you'd face from Dan and Stu, so why start acting like a bitch about it? I don't hold any grudges against any national media members who hate the Heat (Bill Simmons, Charles Barkley, etc.), but I lost a lot of respect for Ric Bucher after his last 2 appearances on the LeBatard Show. And I know my respect doesn't mean shit to him at the end of the day, but fuck it, he sounded like a salty, bitter bitch who was dead wrong and refuses to admit it.
Derrick Rose played bad, end of story. Ric Bucher and everyone else can say whatever they want about the rest of the Bulls playing bad and them needing a shooting guard, but that doesn't remove the fact that Derrick Rose played bad. He missed 19 and 20 shots in Games 4 and 5 respectively, and closed the series shooting 35% from the field. But it's the rest of the Bulls's fault they lost? Give me a fucking break. LeBron did better than that last year when everyone said he quit against Boston, and he didn't get nearly the amount of support Rose got.
Oh, and I like how Bucher blames the Heat's defense like it was somehow an unfair advantage and they were supposed to let Rose drive to the hoop freely. Nigga please. Ric Bucher, SHUT THE FUCK UP!

STFU Award: Dan Gilbert
Daniel (or should I say "Danielle"?) Gilbert, SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!
Wow, that felt good!
I had to break the glass on an old FiyahMuZik.com classic because this fuck Danielle truly deserved it. If he felt like LeBron was such a shitty guy, shouldn't he have been glad to get him away from his team?? Think about it, if you were a team owner, why would you want a guy you felt was "selfish" and a "coward" and had quit on your team in the playoffs?? If Danielle really felt that way, LeBron's decision should've been no sweat off his back.
But we ALL know he doesn't feel this way. There's no way. In fact, I'm willing to bet you any kind of money that if LeBron changed his mind once he arrived in Miami today, Gilbert would've welcomed him back with opened arms and apologized his ass off. This scorn bitch Danielle knows LeBron was his whole team and his inability to supply him with the tools to succeed is what lead to his departure. Oops, your bad.
You know what I think?? I think the guy who wrote that hateful open letter to LeBron James is the real Danielle Gilbert. I don't think he got pissed off and just lost it for a few, I think that's just who he is. If that is true, then you must ask yourself one question: why would LeBron want to stay and help that scumbag win anything?? I know I wouldn't. And that's even beyond the fact that the Cavaliers simply ain't shit.
The real reason Danielle is this mad isn't even basketball related, it's bottomline related. Do you seriously think Danielle give a fuck about bringing a championship to Cleveland?? Hell no! Everything he's done over the past few years weren't done to make his team better, they were done to make LeBron happy. LeBron was the cash cow, he made Danielle millions and millions of dollars, many more millions than Danielle has paid out to LeBron. That's over, and now Danielle is moist. Again, your bad.
(Side note: I'm not saying LeBron shouldn't have been the cash cow, or that Danielle shouldn't be out to make as much as he can. No. But it's clear he wasn't investing in LeBron to make his team happy, he was investing in LeBron to make LeBron happy, and you can't put the cart before the horse. I mean, why else would he be this mad?? Because Cleveland isn't going to win a NBA championship?? Fuck no! More like because the money tree chomped itself down and replanted itself in Miami.)
In closing, Danielle Gilbert, shut the fuck up! You're a shitty owner and a classless son of a bitch. Oh, and great way to advertise your team to all the future free agent, I know everybody will be lining up at your doorsteps to play for your Cavs now that they know this is the treatment they'll get if they decide to leave town. Awesome. And good luck winning that championship before LeBron.

STFU Award: Joe Wilson
If you checked out President Obama's speech last night you heard this dumb fuck Joe Wilson shout "you lie" like a immature little child when he was speaking on health care reform not extending to illegal immigrants. He has since apologized but fuck him, I don't accept it. Where was his big dumbass those 8 loooooong years Bush's simply ass was up there actually lying?? No outburst then?? He could control his emotions when Bush was sending our troops into an unjust war and sending out economy into the dumps, but he couldn't when the President was speaking last night?? Fuck him.
He dug his own ditch and next year he'll be out of a job. After his disrespectful outburst, AP is reporting that his opponent for the midterm elections, Rob Miller, raised over $100,000 in the 8 hours following. Good, that's what he gets for trying to show up the President and stop every U.S. citizen from having health care.

STFU Award/Idiocracy 101: T-Pain Lost
Look, I like T-Pain, but this was just dumb. No, INCREDIBLY dumb. And not because this is gonna make Jay-Z go all Eminem on him, but because this is a fight T-Pain can't win. Jay-Z has more fans than T-Pain, Jay-Z has more hits than T-Pain, Jay-Z has sold more records than T-Pain, Jay-Z has more Grammys than T-Pain, Jay-Z has more respect across the board than T-Pain, and its not even a question that Jay-Z has more money than T-Pain. Again, this is a battle T-Pain CANNOT win.
Even Rick Ross has gotta be looking at this dude like he's an idiot right about now. There is nothing to be gained by this (emphasis on both "no" and "thing"). Especially if you're gonna come at Jay like this. I could see if he said "fuck Jay-Z" and then went off into some super ill freestyle, but this nigga started dancing and singing songs he's featured on. Yeah he wrote it, but it ain't your song AND the person whose song it is isn't even there, so why are you performing it?? Do you think you're gonna see Jay-Z come out at a show and do his verse on Fiesta with R. Kelly?? Do you think Jay-Z is gonna come out and do his verse on Umbrella without Rihanna?? Hell no! If you're gonna diss someone at least do it right!
But for a minute, lets just say T-Pain is actually anywhere near Jay-Z's level, he STILL loses because not only did Jay-Z make it a point of emphasis that he was NOT going at T-Pain (but rather the people biting his style), but at the end of the day he already co-signed D.O.A. by coming out on stage at Summer Jam and standing by his side as he performed it!
Jay-Z has already said he didn't ask Pain to do that, he did it on his own. If he had such a big problem with Jay and the song, why do that?? Why didn't he say something then?? That was back in June! It is now September. Did he just realize he had a problem with it?? What T-Pain is trying to pull is equivalent to getting into a huge fight, getting hit by your man on accident, accepting his apology after the fight, and then wanting to fight him over it 3 months later. Just wack.
Besides, who the fuck does T-Pain think he is?? The audacity of this nigga with ONE platinum album and ONE #1 album to his credit, to even be talking about Jay-Z. If Game doesn't have the resume to go at Jay, then why does T-Pain think he does?? Hov could die today and T-Pain could record music for the next 30 years and still not amass the level of success Jay-Z has had. And that's strictly from a sales standpoint, not even including musically or creatively.
This is a terrible career move for T-Pain (a great one for Jay-Z though), I don't know what he was thinking, but I'm sure the fine people at Jive Records are not happy today. I'm not saying they're gonna drop him or anything, but he's gonna get a stern talking to over this and there will probably be a public apology of sorts if the anti-T-Pain movement keeps getting bigger. Sucks for Jive. Welp, there's always Cash Money where he'll be welcomed to sign and not drop anymore albums lol.
(On a side note, what is it about Jive that makes their artists wanna end their own careers?? First it was Mystikal going to jail, then R. Kelly messing with the kids, then Chris Brown beating up Rihanna, and now T-Pain dissing Jay-Z. Weird.)

STFU Award: Jim Jones & DJ Webstar
Okay, lets start with this nigga DJ Webstar because this won't take long. Here's what the alleged DJ had to say on his Twitter account the other day: "Who heard old ass Jay Z hating?" and "bottom line is a 40 year old can't relate to a 17 or 22 year old so he could never end my career." First off, nigga you made fuckin' Chicken Noodle Soup, you don't even have the right to speak on anything Jay-Z does. Second...hell, there is no second, this is the guy responsible for Chicken Noodle Soup! Who told him he could stop flippin' burgers and have an opinion?? The end.
Now lets switch it over to
Anyway, kilt?? Outotune?? Resurection?? What the fuck?? Nigga needs to learn how to spell before he starts talking shit. Seriously though, kilt?? LMAO! Never before in my life have I seen someone spell "killed" as "kilt." That shit is just too funny! How are you gonna try to insult somebody when you can't spell?? This man is 32 (33 July 15th) and can't write a complete sentence. Shit is sad.
Now, I've asked this time and time again, but why is Jim Jones' on Jay-Z's dick all the time?? You never hear Jay even make mention of Jones, but yet Jones is ALWAYS talking about Jay no matter if he's asked or not. What is this guys obsession with Jay-Z?? I mean, we all knew he was a big fan even before that video of him in the club singing Jay-Z's whole verse on Swagger Like Us back in October, but damn. Let the man's nuts breathe a little. Beyonce has got his gentials now Jimmy, you can let go. Sad, just sad.
DJ Webstar, Jim Jones, don't be mad because the streets are tired of the bullshit. Embrace it. I know you want to continue dick riding and calling it "making hits" (though neither of you have had a hit since 2006) but the bullshit is over. The "old" man will always reign over you and be better than you in every way. Embrace it. Don't be jealous and bitter because that's how you both sound right now. After all, your big homie did once say, "Males shouldn't be jealous, that's a female trait." Again, embrace it... oh, and STFU!
May 12, 2009
STFU Award: Nick Cannon
By now I'm sure you've all either heard about or read the Nick Cannon essay blog where he's going at Eminem for talking about Mariah and himself on Bagpipes From Baghdad (I'm not gonna re-post it, you can click here if you wanna read it). Though I agree with Nick in principal (can't get too mad at a man for defending his wife), I'm gonna have to say this: STOP IT! Nigga, your wife is MARIAH CAREY, people are gonna always talk about her crazy ass. Are you gonna throw a hissy fit and threaten people every time someone says something about her?? Again, she's Mariah Carey! I fucking' HATE when people act like nobody should talk about someone that's a freakin' international celebrity. Nick, like you said, she's been famous for like 20 years now, people are gonna talk about her, get over it. On another note, I'd hate to have seen what Nick would've done if he was married to her back when "Glitter" came out lol.
The other thing I had a HUGE problem with was Nick making it seem like Em was attacking black women by going at Mariah. Nick, again, STOP IT! Most people didn't even know she was half black until you mentioned it. Mariah does not, and has not identified with black people at any point in her career. I dare somebody to give me one example where Mariah took a stand for a black issue. I'll help you out: There aren't any! In fact, the only time Mariah even associates with black people is when she needs a hit. Yeah she'll go get Diddy or JD or Bone Thugs or Boyz II Men when its time to make a hit, but when its time to shoot the video its ALWAYS a white guy playing her love interest. ALWAYS! So Nick, don't give us this bullshit and try to play the race card. Just don't!
This part really pissed me off. I just hate when people wanna be white except for when being black is more convenient. Like Paul Mooney says, "Everybody wanna be a nigga, but don't nobody wanna be a nigga." STFU Nick Cannon.

Brisco Threatens Jamie Foxx For Crackin' On Flo Rida
Ooh, look what Fiyah found!
Now I like Brisco, I think dude makes some pretty good music and I like his flow, but nigga shut the FUCK up! Bris sounds silly as fuck on here.
All I wanna know is this: Why is this man so sensitive?? It kinda bothers me how sensitive he gets whenever somebody even mentions Flo Rida's name. I understand y'all niggas cool and all, but you aren't that man's momma, let him fight his own battles. Obviously Flo understands Jamie is a comedian doing what he does and didn't think the shit was a big deal, so why are YOU mad??
Makes no sense to me, but damn, am I the only one who thinks these rappers now-a-days are waaaay too overtly sensitive??
Anyway, here's my top 10 list of things Brisco could've been doing instead of threatening a comedian.
10) Getting off Flo Rida's meat.
9) Making sure his album actually comes out one day.
8) Stop drinking and driving.
7) Hold Lil Wayne's carry-on bag.
6) Getting some more golds (he's gotta be the only nigga under 45 to have just one gold tooth lol).
5) Figure out why none of his singles have worked.
4) Figure out how Drake got ahead of him on Lil Wayne's list of priorities.
3) Learn better sentence structure so he doesn't say things like, "And I'm fucked up and I'm in my right mind though."
2) Found a group for all sensitive rappers (I hear Young Buck and The Game are available).
1) Start a love affair with Birdman (sounds silly, I know, but the only person to drop a Rap album on Cash Money since 2004 had to kiss him on the mouth repeatedly lol).

STFU Award: Etta James
First off, I didn't even know Etta James was still alive! I swear to you I didn't lol. But for real though, why all the hate for Barack and Beyonce?? She sounds like an old bumbling fool with no class on this tape. She actually said this out of her old ass mouth: "She has no business up there, singing up there on a big ol' president day." Big ol' president day?? What the fuck is that?? Somebody come get this old ass woman lol.
Etta James, shut the fuck up!
**UPDATE**
I didn't know this, but to make Etta James sound even dumber for dissing Beyonce is the fact that At Last isn't even her song. I'm under the impression that it was her record, but she just did a cover of it in 1961 after it was originally written in 1941. So basically she just needed a check which is why she wanted to be at "big ol' president day" so bad. These old druggies are ridiculous lol.

STFU Award: Sean Kingston
If you haven't heard or seen, Sean Kingston has now thrown his hat in the ring and wants in on Bow Wow and Soulja Boy's Lambo race. I'm fine with that, but why is this nigga trying to act like his money is so long that he's untouchable?? Nigga please lol.
First off, did you see that little ass nigga Sean said was his "goon" at about 2-something in?? LMAO! That nigga couldn't have been no more than 5'2"! How is your "goon" is shorter than Katt Williams and Kevin Hart?? LMAO!
Anyway, I'm not the type of nigga that counts up other people's money and tries to put people down because of the money somebody else is making, but some on Sean Kingston, be serious. You've been out for like 2 years, have 1.5 hits and you think you're doing it that big?? Both he and Soulja Boy HAVE to know that Bow has more money than both of them combined. They do know that, right??
This is fuckin' retarded and Sean Kingston just proved he is one of the lamest niggas in the game for trying to stunt with shit niggas were stunting with when he was in elementary school lol. I mean seriously, a Maybach?? We're supposed to be impressed by a Maybach?? And you can't forget the house! He's supposed to be ballin' all crazy with that shit?? Nigga don't even have any land, you can see like 4 of his neighbors in that shot lol.
Now I'm not saying I'm a big money heavy weight or nothing, but I HATE when niggas try to stunt and do it the wrong way. Especially when those people aren't even really established in the game and can realistically be broke in a couple of years lol. If you were really doing it that big we wouldn't need you to tell us that, Forbes would do it for you.

STFU Award: Matt Mosley
Matt Mosley actually used to be a half decent writer before people started saying he favored the Dallas Cowboy in his articles. Since then he's gone out of his way to show everyone that he didn't favor the Boys, so much so that he is now clearly a Cowboy hater. He's pretty much been bitching about everything we've done all season no matter if it was good or bad. His lame ass should be thanking the Cowboys for giving him shit to write about on his shitty blog because all his non-Cowboy related work is wack. He should be giving thanks, but instead he's whining like a ho.
The latest incident was today when writing about the release of Pacman Jones (emphasis on "about" and "Pacman Jones"). Don't ask me how this box head ass dude turned a post about Pacman being cut, into one about how the Cowboys would be better without Terrell Owens. This is an actual excerpt from an the post entitled "The 'Pacman' era has endedin Dallas": "Salary cap experts at Valley Ranch have said the Cowboys wouldn't take a huge hit if T.O. were released this offseason. In fact, the figure is less than $1 million...As I've written before, T.O. might be one of the most divisive players in the history of the league.
Other than firing Wade Phillips and replacing him with Mike Shanahan, releasing T.O. is the best move Jones could make."
What sense does that make?? Can someone please explain to me how getting rid of your best receiver for nothing makes you better?? I mean this fool isn't saying we should trade T.O., he thinks we should cut him with Pacman and get nothing in return. In the picture of himself on the side of his NFC East blog, he does look like he has a little Down's in him, but his logic here is even more retarded than his appearence suggests. I mean T.O. hasn't done anything in his three years in Dallas but catch 235 passes for 3,587 yards and 38 touchdowns. Yeah, we can get rid of him and find a replacement in the draft. Get the fuck outta here Mosley. That guy is a total doucher.
December 22, 2008
STFU Award: Rob Parker Haters
Now, after this Rob Parker apologized, but Rod Marinelli's simple ass says he doesn't accept it and some shit about him crossing the line. I'll tell you this, Rob is a better man than me because I would've have apologized lol.
Question: Whats the problem?? I could see if he said his daughter was a whore or something, but he made a joke about his daughter's HUSBAND. It wasn't even a swipe at the daughter... at all. You'd actually have to spin it to even make it seem like it was about her. I mean seriously, give me a break, it was a damn funny joke and the Lions' Joe Barry-lead defense is terrible and just got 42 posted on them. Man up Marinelli, you're fuckin' 0-15. Win a game and then maybe we can talk. Rod's silly ass should be worried about his job more than his son-in-law's little feelings anyway lol.
I really didn't wanna see the Lions go 0-16, but after this I'll definitely be rooting against them this Sunday (not that they'll need it, they're pretty damn good at being horrendous).

STFU Award: Kesan From G's To Gents
PLEASE let me be the first person to write about him on the internet after this video! This nigga is soooo lame. You don't even have to look hard to see the bitch in this lil nigga lol. He's trying to be a tough guy and build a real nigga resume off a sucka punch. Like for real, a damn sucka punch! I mean it was a clean ass hit, but ain't nobody scared of this lil 5'4" nigga now because of it. You had your 15 minutes, move on. You're not gonna go find anybody, you're not gonna kill anybody nor are you gonna ever be a famous rapper, or you're not gonna blow up in the acting world. Your shit is cooked homie, stick a folk in it. Talking all that rah-rah stuff on some unheard of DVD ain't gonna do nothing to help your situation because no matter what everyone still looks at you as a joke. Why?? Because you are a joke. This shit is sad.
You know what's the saddest part?? Lets say this nigga ain't the cupcake that ran out of the house crying on From G's To Gents and he really does get down. Who cares?? What does any of it solve or help?? Lets say he did find a blogger and kill them... okay, now what?? Its all just pointless and its sad to see a nice cupcake young man feel he has to play gangsta for the camera in order to be liked.
Kesan, please just shut the fuck up!

STFU Award: Rush Limbaugh
Do I even need to go into why he's getting this?? Okay good because I have better things to do than give this bigot anymore of my time.

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.
