It’s crazy I was telling my dude the other day I should write about how I thought Lupe was probably moving weight, but some other things occured to me especially after I read 1) the XXL Bol Blog and 2) heard an interesting quote on “Us Placers” that has the boy really convinced Lupe may have been getting his kick, push on for real…
First quote (shout out to Bol at XXL) “I push rocks, dawg.” - Lupe Fiasco, on his 2003 single “Pop Pop”
A year ago, I was arguing with some of my homies about how I thought D Wade was better than Bron Bron. I made said assertion because then, in the clutch, Wade-ums was money and on the contrary, Bron was passing first and looking a bit sheepish when the clock winded down plus Wade had the ring.
Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101 = The Premier Gangsta Opus of Generation Y
Published by May 16th, 2007 in News. 5 Comments
I’m about two years late with this post, but sometimes it takes a minute for an album’s effect to really set in. Awhile back, I think it was right after Jeezy dropped The Inspiration and I was debating music with my dude and I told him that Jeezy was putting out the best gangsta rap of our generation and he vehemently disagreed proffering no substantial substitute. After awhile, I think he said the Clipse who are dope but can you really say dudes rapping about full length chinchillas, english muffins and duvets are gangsta rap? Let’s keep it 100, most cats don’t even know what a duvet is.
One day as I was sitting at my desk working diligently (aka perusing a rumor site and they showed Laila Ali doing her thing on Dancing With The Stars. I saw this…
Note: My bad usually I would’ve embed the shit but it wasn’t working for some reason.
Jay-Z In My Lifetime Vol. 1 = Weedplate and One of the Most Overrated Albums Ever
Published by April 27th, 2007 in News. 18 CommentsI was reading blogs today and I ran across a couple of blogs talking different things being overrated and what not. It inspired me to write something of my own because in hip-hop alot of cats are quick to say an album is this or that without any proof whatsoever to substantiate it. And cats are quick to throw around that word classic. I remember Jay said he made some wild number of classics (I think 3-4 and this is on the blueprint album) which is not true at all. I’ll give the guy 2 (reasonable doubt and blueprint).
Scenario: Cam’ron is being interviewed by CNN’s Anderson Cooper who asks Cam what if you lived next to a serial killer? You wouldn’t say anything. Cam’s response will go down as the dumbest shit EVER spoke by a human being. He said, naw I wouldn’t say he lived in like apartment 4E. I’d probably just move to another apartment.
Cam, that doesn’t make you a snitch…That makes you a lame and lightweight pussy. Rappers been rolling with C.O.s aka bodyguards. I don’t know any niggas from the hood w/badges that rock security vests.
Once upon a time, smoking an expensive blunt used to be enough for rappers but alas it’s a new day. And in true rapper/ignoramus fashion, they’ve decided to up the ante. Fucking dumbasses!!! Now, more and more E-pill references are popping up. And I’ve even went to concerts and saw rappers grinding their teeth and doing other general tweek out shit. I’ve even heard rappers openly admitting they sniff blow; from pushing work to sniffin’ it. Ain’t that a bitch. Now, the coca ain’t really hit as hard as the pills but niggas need to get they mind right. Doesn’t that shit put holes in your brain or some shit like that; not to mention other fruity and sus behaviors. Maybe that’s why you hear all this BS on the radio.
I’m not about to front. When I heard about Imus’ comments I thought he was gonna catch a slap on the wrist, keep it moving and continue being a racist sexist dickhole. Let’s face it this is America; a country that has funded drug commerce, rigged elections, orchestrated coups in other countries, allowed cops to cheddar cheese a cat on his wedding day, plunger a cat’s ass and gun down a granny with a broken glock.
I’mma keep it 100. I told one of my co-workers this about 3-4 months ago and she denied it up and down. First, there’s rumors that Jay and Beyonce were on the rocks. Then, rumors that Beyonce is pissed Jay’s on the phone with RiRi talking pretty often. Then Beyonce releases “Ring the Alarm,” a track about not getting her man stole by a slut. Somewhere along that timeline Jay and Rihanna dropped a single together, which is somewhat random. I mean besides the fact that she’s on Def Jam–and many artists are but definitely are not seeing features from Hov–there’s not much of a connection.
