BET Awards 2009

So of course I have to make a post about the debacle that is the B.E.T. awards annual event. I only watched this garbage to see how they honored M.J.. I understand the difficulties of trying to change a show with a short time frame, but there could have been some simple alterations that would have made it better. Now I'm not going to be completely negative because there were some decent points,

Let's talk Lyrics

I was listening to Hot 99.5 from DC. Yeah I know it's a pop station but the kids were in the car. But the Black Eyed Peas came with Boom Boom Pow. The beat for this song is Jammin' I have to admit, but what the hell are they talking about? I mean lyrics like "I'm so three thousand and eight/ you so two thousand and late" say absolutely nothing.Now I'm wondering why even waste the time putting

Wackness

I will admit, Crime Mob was a guilty pleasure of mine. I especially liked "Rock Yo Hips". But their sound was catchy when they first appeared about 4(?) years go. Now when the chick Diamond left the group I figured she might do alright, she was the prettier one and no one was worried about skills. However, a different Atlanta was on top and now she is back with a totally new sound.Okay, not

Father's Day Songs

If there is one thing you can get from rap music today is that there are no fathers in the hood...At least thats what these rappers will have you believe. Now I'm not saying everyone has a father, or even a father that is actually a good one. The hood has a lot of people strung out, sipping that liquid crack, and who have mental issues they aren't even trying to get solved. However, some of these

Busta Rhymes Rise and Fall

Busta Rhymes is one of the most well-known and consistent hip-hop artists of all time. From the beginning of his career with Leaders of the New School he was exciting and stood out from his peers with his vibrance. But lately it seems that Bussa Buss has fallen from grace. This isn't a post designed to knock, mock, or hate on Busta, in fact it's an attempt to examine what the hell actually

The beat is officially dead...

My Man, Slaughterhouse went waaaaaaaaay in on the D.O.A. beat. Royce spit the best verse i have heard from him and Joell killed the song for like 6 minutes lol. Sit back and check it.

High Expectations

There are some people in this world for whom the normal is unacceptable. IN Sports it's no longer enough for Kobe or Lebron to get to the playoffs, they are expected to compete for and win the title every year. Alex Rodriguez cannot just hit .320 and knock in 120 runs, he needs to carry the team to the World Series. Same goes for Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and Brett Favre. In hip-hop, Jay-z and

No Drake no....

Now I'm still undecided on whether or not I like Drake, dude is obviously talented as an artist of some sort. The question is where is he going to end up with his image, an average hip-hop/ r and b hybrid artist or a crossover mega-star. I think he has the potential to be seen more than wayne and take that step to be a mega-icon, however, not while you doing stuff like this:You see he is looking

Now when Pharrell says it's out of hand...

You have got to admit things are out of hand. Just listen, we shall discuss afterward.Pharrell was making a host of great points in this clip here. It's crazy that someone who has become famous as much for his image as his "talent" . The entire game has gotten so caught up in marketing that things are insane. However, I think the times have changed again and are cycling away from image and into

Guest Blog- Jay-Z is a Hater

This is a blog by my man NC-17. Catch him on his Myspace page right here.JAY-Z IS A HATERFist let me start by saying JAY Z is the greatest Rapper Ever, better than Pac, Big, Nas, and Em… Now for the blasphemy – JAY Z IS A FUCKING HATERShawn Carter is the biggest hater in rap and has been since 1998, Ask Murder Mase.CHECK YOUR OWN VIDEO YOU’LL ALWAYS BE NUMBER 2:When B.I.G was alive Jay was nice,

T-Pain's Big Ass Chain

lol Now this is hilarious right here. T-pain literally has one of the biggest chains ever. This is just one more reason why people from Florida are not right in the head I'm telling you.I wish Mos Def or someone would have had this "10 lb. 197kt." chain to make a point, but unfortunately he didn't. Instead we have T-pain who is a funny dude so I assume he did this to stunt and for comedy and I

D.O.A.

So the hype for this weekend will be without a doubt the new buzz created by Jay-z's new track D.O.A., or death of autotune. I'll admit this is not a bad joint, it's Jay doing some his better work in the past two years. So after listening to the joint about 10 times in a row, I can say, it's pretty good but not great.Here is why, Jay isn't saying anything that hundreds of unsigned rappers, plenty

Gotta Get Ya Groove on!

Now normally I guess I seem like the average Southern Music basher or something close to that, but there is one thing I am extremely proud of dudes from the South of doing. Bringing back grown men dancing. Now yeah I know you're about to say hold up, didn't you call the G-spot boys clowns for doing the "Stanky Legg"? Yes, i did. You know why, look at this shit.GS BOYZ show you the "Stanky

The Most Stolen cd in your collection

Now everyone who is anyone and has a halfway decent cd collection has one or two cd's they are constantly stolen by friends or even enemies. This was suggested to me as a topic by my man Pluck aka P. Lucky. Now I know for a fact in high school I had these cd's/tapes stolen from me on one occasion.Especially All Eyez on Me, it seems that that cd isn't allowed to stay in my possession for more than
