Back to beef...and Losers

So real quick, Shawty Lo and T.I. are back at it again. Fighting at some obscure ass Southern awards show...well at least their crews are. This shit is stupid now. I like to see people put forth their best on record because they have something to prove, but these folks fighting and things like that is ridiculous. Then everyone has to go to worldstarhiphop and make a video explaining their side of

Too much Autotune

Arab Money remixFirst of all i think Ron Browz is lame. Pop Champagne is terrible and the only reason Arab Money was hot was because Busta just wilds out in his normal way. But this remix right here has waay too much bullcrap in it. I mean Busta's verse was hot. Puffy was alright, but after that it falls off the edge of a cliff. You got Akon and his annoying voice following up and i don't know

Happy Thanksgiving

Okay first and foremost, Happy Thanksgiving to every one out there. Now let me get into my angry ranting.What is up with these rapper ass dudes and all of the damn scarves, handkerchiefs, flags, and bandannas they're wearing. All of these frilly ass pieces of cloth need to go. You got Soulja Boi Tell em (yeah I'm using the entire dumbass name) rocking a gucci bandanna on his face, one on his

The Future for real?

Woah...okay so first we got Vibe going wild crazy with that lame ass hip-hop bracket that made absolutely no sense and wasn't even worth the time to check out. Then they come with this trash. point blank, I don't like Plies or what he stands for. The ignorance that comes out of this guys mouth just astounds me.Look i understand hip-hop has changed a lot but no one has standards anymore. Magazines

Crazy World- Young Jeezy video

Well I'm not a fan of Jeezy but this is a song that i don't mind. The video is kind of ill too, at least the first third of it. I like the chaotic look and feel of it but it seems more suited to Nas than Jeezy. I mean Nas would at least feel right and I take it Jeezy is trying to be more political but personally it doesn't work for me.

Ace Hood- Gutta; a review

So starting in the spring DJ Khaled put a hurting on the world's ear drums as he yelled over the chorus of "Cash Flow", the first single from Broward, Florida's own, ACE Hood. Featuring the required T-pain appearance and established artist co-sign in Rick Ross, the song took off thanks largely to the aforementioned ringmaster and production by The Runners. Looking at the recent history you can

Ed Lover Sheds some Light

Now I can't really speak on the exact topic that Ed is covering although near the end as he talks about the competition in New York between Hot 97 and Power 105. He talks about how people he helped get into the game turned and decided to talk greasy or spew hate at him for moving to the new station. This shows a lot about hip-hop culture as it stands today. There is a lack of respect in the game

Prodigy- Product of the 80's album review

I never really thought I would see the day where I looked at a Mobb deep type of product and think to myself "Why the hell am i listening to this?" But that is exactly what I find myself saying as I listen to Prodigy drone on and on about the same old topics as he has always rapped about.Looking deeper into the lyrics ( I am writing this as it plays cause I'm not sure I'll make it through the

Actual hip-hop commentary

Okay, so I just listened to Slaughterhouse which is the name of a group i assume that includes Royce da 5'9, Joe Buddens, Crooked I, and Joell Ortiz. Let me tell you. This shit is HIP-HOP SON!!!!!!!! The lyrics are fire and they actually build up to get to the "best" verse, though none of them are slacking. I see this joint as the lyrical "Swagga Like Us". I favor Crooked I's verse for now but I

The Local Responsibility problem

Beginning tomorrow, my local radio station 92q (92.3 WERQ FM) plans to start playing the Ricky Smiley radio show in the morning after letting go our local morning team. Now Baltimore is a top 30 market which means we deserve to have our own programming and stations. The biggest problem is our proximity to Washington DC which further fragments the selection because we can get DC stations which are

What Next?

Now that Barack Obama is ready to assume the role as President of the United States what next? We as Americans and especially those of us who happen to be black now have a further duty to try and help this man accomplish his goals and better this country. Now is not the time to sit back and bask in the glory of doing what you are supposed to do. When i woke up this morning, my credit rating was

The Reason I'm back

Now I watched this fool in this video. I realized something. and I never really wanted to use certain words because I might want to run for office one day, but screw it, this Nigga is asinine. I mean this in every negative way you can imagine. Mysonne was a guy who had a potential career ahead of him on the heels of Mase and before 50 Cent blew up. He was Shyne before Shyne, then he went to jail
