Keep Your Ear To The Streets…
Well… well…well look what we have here. Last night I flipped the channel from the Nas BET Access Granted for Hip-Hop Is Dead (during a commercial break people) to take a look at everyone’s favorite hypocrite Bill O’ Reilly. And what is this “Protector Of The American Way” talking about…none other than Snoop D. O. double G. Yea apparently the Dog Father (remember that from his No Limit days) got himself in some trouble AGAIN with Johnny Law right after an appearance on Jay Leno’s show.
Hosted by HOT 97’s Heavy Hitter DJ Enuff with DJ Camillo and DJ Self on the turntables, the event marks the first time ever producers and pioneers of the urban DVD genre will be honored with their own award show. Categories include: Best DVD Documentary, The Pusher Award (most consistently sold urban DVD), Hottest Street DVD, Most Consistent Artist On A DVD, Hottest biker DVD and Top DVD Street Magazine to name a few.
Apparently it’s being quoted that Bun said Bet wanted some extra love (and I’m not talking groupies) to play the video for his single “Swang” off Trill. Hold up, how you going to shit on B like that? What the hell is going on when the so-called network of the people don’t give two cents about the people unless you giving them two cents. It makes me wonder about how performance mysteriously disappeared during the 106 And Jay special. You heard the crowd screaming their name, but next thing you know the show is repeating it’s self with no UGK in sight.
Damn man like the Bubba Sparxxx track it’s getting ‘Ugly’! or should I say ‘Super Ugly’? The rumblings have been going on for a minute, since the explosion of The South onto the scene. It’s seems as though there was no way to avoid, a Hip-Hop Civil War. What is this marvel comics? Are we all kids mad that someone else is playing on your monkey bars? Lyrical shots have been finally fired on wax due to the legendary UGK’s no song “Quit Hatin’ The South”.
Okay man enough is enough! There’s just been to much idiotic comments coming from all sorts of angles on the topic of Nasir’s new album title “Hip-Hop Is Dead”. Seems as though he was better off just calling it “Nigga”. Everyone is twisting and turning the concept, even catching feelings. People it’s not that serious…or is it?
With todays “Kingdom Come” album release heres a look at the videos released over the course of his career. This is by no means all videos or video appearances by Jay-Z but a look at some of his major video darts.
Jay-Z - Dead Presidents
Original Flavor ft. Jay-Z - Can I get Open
Jay-Z - Cant Knock The Hustle
Jay-Z - Aint No Nigga
Jay-Z - Feelin it
Jay-Z - Streets is Watching
Jay-Z - Who You Wit
In 2001, what maybe considered one of Hip-Hop’s greatest battles was form when Jay-Z went on Hot97’s Summer Jam. Feeling on top of the world, he took shots at his peers on the track was called… Takeover. It was Jay-Z’s claim of the title King of New York/ Hip-Hop’s anthem. The world was a bit stun and taken back, not because of him dissing the likes of Mobb Deep, nor was it his claims of being the best. But one line in particular. A line dare I say was heard around the Hip-Hop world “ask Nas he don’t want it with Hov…NO!!!”. People where shocked that he would got after Nas who was out of the lime light for a minute dealing with some personal issues.
