Don't dare try to tell em Soulja Boy

So it's been a new Soulja boy controversy. This young guy has put out a video where he attempts to discuss hip-hop issues. This is me trying to portray it in a positive light and make it seem deep. His first statement that Lil' Wayne is going to be called the best because he says it. I don't know who Soulja is asking but I don't know anyone who is going to say Wayne is the best rapper alive, dead

Saigon and I are disappointed with hip-hop

So as that plays just feel me on this, we all know that the celebrities and people we see play a huge role in popular culture which in turn influences our kids. Just like Saigon says you have all these kids getting arm sleeves worth of tattoos and wearing little tight jeans and sagging them just because they see everyone else doing it. Remember what happened to jerseys when Jay-z said he doesn't

The nerve....

I'm all for getting your hustle on and making the best of your situation when it presents itself. But there a couple of things that come to mind looking at this latest worldstar clip. Before I get into it, shout out to them for providing me with endless material.Now if you had the stomach to watch that shit, you know what happened. If you were smart enough to turn it off, it's video girl Angela "

Are the lyrics alive?

In the above video, the hoods "Favorite Street Lyricist" Styles P talks about the lack of creativity and lyricism in todays hip-hop. I feel him to a certain extent. This is a huge problem of course in today's hip-hop. Too many people are striving to get to those hit singles and crossover appeal. Most of this comes from label pressure and the desire to make money over all things including the

Shaun Boothe

I checked this out at Knowgood Music. This is a dude named Shaun boothe who took Nas' Unauthorized Biography idea and went to the next level. From what i've seen he has done James Brown, Bob Marley, and Muhammad Ali. I applaud stretching the concept and how he worked it but I don't think he is skilled enough to pull it off at it's best. I think his flow could use work because it just seems rough

Innocent Man-Mark Morrison and DMX

Mark Morrison and DMX - Innocent Man, dedicated to my man Mr. Vic newman. 2 of his favorite homies together.and the oldie but goodie- return of the mack.

Hip-hop History

One thing that I have noticed that in hip-hop we don't celebrate our history or heritage. Not to say we don't have an understanding of it, but we don't pass it on to the youth the same way as fans of other genres. Rock fans are sure to play classic songs for their kids and their stations have a wider mix of music being played together. When does that happen on urban radio stations? During the

Watch you Daughters part 3- thanks MSNBC

More evidence of what I told you guys earlier.

Soulja-beef?

Now I'm not a fan of Charles Hamilton. The songs I have heard from him haven't done anything for me, so i'm not too biased here. What is interesting is two things, first soulja boy takes the time to comment so he can promote his new album. Classic tactics in ww-hiphop these days. But he is really bold ain't he? He is talking somewhat reckless.The other thing that i don't like about this is his

Aint No Love in the Heart of the City

If you have seen this video or heard a synopsis, it's like this, Joe Budden says "Fuck New York". Now let's look at the context of what he's actually saying. He's saying fuck the New York attitude. And he's right for the most part. Stack Bundles said it best "If more niggas was workers and more rappers was fans/ the game would be like 88 records would move like grams". In New York they are the

Watch Your Daughters part 2!

I'm back with another note to the people with children of the female gender. This time the topic is about watch who your daughters are looking up to. Watch their friends too. But look at who they emulate and show them a wide variety of people and different sides of those people.Just look at beyonce. You cannot let your daughters just listen to the chickenhead music that she puts out on the radio.

Watch Your daughters!

This is an important blog right here. I have a daughter and a lot of you out there have children. Now it is truly important to have strong role models for young boys, don't get me wrong, but you really have to watch out for these young girls today. let me break it down for you....Check youtube, put in any popular song and chances are you're going to find some underaged girl dancing to it in her

Theater of the Mind- Ludacris

So Finally an album I can get somewhat excited about as Ludacris finally drops Theater of the Mind. One of the most underrated artists of today's age is out with what i believe is his 6th album. Coming out with a concept where every song is based off of either a television show or a movie for it's theme. The concept works and it is great to see some innovation...for the most part.From the
