Lil Wayne vs. His Real Father (Jigga)

Grown man kisser, excuse me, Lil' Wayne has been talkin' out of his ass for quite some time now, but he really stepped over the line in that Complex magazine issue a couple of months ago claimin' that he was better than Jigga. Now to me, u can't be better than somebody when u blatantly took his whole rhymin' style, but that's neither here nor there. Muthafuckas jus need 2 learn how 2 respect their elders, that's the bottom line. Thru all the "out of ass" talkin' (no homo), Jigga never said somethin' (or did he?), until possibly now in the new T.I. song "Watch What You Say". Now I'm hardly a theorist assumin' that every verse is about beef, but shit, ain't shit else 2 do nowadays but beef wit niggas, so Jigga is probably pickin' the one nigga who been talkin' outta the side of his mouth the most (besides Jim Jones anyway).

Now Lil' Wayne supposedly responds on Freekey Zekey's (WHY THE FUCK IS HE RAPPIN') song "Beat Without Bass", meanin' a battle that I wouldn't mind listenin' 2 might actually pop off. Fuck peace, I wanna see niggas fightin' in the street, Jigga and Wayne should go at it (a big PAUSE 4 that one).

Now I might get killed 4 sayin' this, while Jigga is my 2nd favorite MC (behind Nas), i don't think he's hungry enuf anymore 4 fuck wit Wayne, yes I said it.

Wayne in 7 rounds... BITCHES!!!

American Pimp

Some classic shit by Suga Free. For all you trick-ass-marks out there, Free is the original rapping pimp, and he's been laying his mack hand down on wax for about a decade now. This is a video for "On My Way," off his debut album Street Gospel. Released in 1997, the album failed commercially despite full production by DJ Quik and some of the most hilarious, mind-blowingly misogynistic lyrics ever recorded. The whole disc is classic: Quik drops impossibly smooth grooves throughout, and Suga Free spits game on every track, squeezing an unimaginable amount of syllables into every bar with rhythmic precision.

"On My Way" is probably the closest Suga Free will ever come to a love song, and it still involves threats of domestic violence and a storyline about him kicking a hoe out onto the street. All set to an almost cheesy, undeniably funky track. The video is the perfect visual accompaniment, as it shows Free in all his pimpish glory, waves and shiny shirts included. I never even knew this shit existed--thank god for Youtube.

Suga Free's still puttin' it down, but I don't think he'll ever make another masterpiece like Street Gospel. His last album, Just Add Water, didn't have a single beat from Quik, and feels like a mixtape rather than a proper record. Quik and he had been feuding cause Free reportedly stole one of Quik's beats and sold it to Rappin' 4-Tay, leading Quik to call him out as an untrustworthy junkie (don't know about that, but he has rapped about snorting meth, a new one for hip-hop as far as I know). However Quik and Free have supposedly resolved things, so here's hoping they reunite. Neither one of them is as good without the other (I like to think of them as the B-Squad Dre and Snoop.) I have to admit I haven't heard Free's latest project, Secret Congregation, but that's cause I'm not too fond of rappers' "crew" albums (Though I'd bump it over Cold Summer anyday.) Anyway, while all these rappers brag about their "pimpin'" let's give it up to a real pimp who can still rap circles around most of them. Chuuuuuch.

50's hood card is PERMANENTLY revoked!!

Maybe I shoulda figured it out when he said on "Ryder Music," "they say I'm homophobic, shit, go thru the hood, there's madd niggas on my dick," or maybe I shoulda figured it out when he makes fun of other MC's on his new song "Fully Loaded Clip" for havin' relationships with women, or maybe I shoulda figured it out by Tony Yayo's undyin' loyalty to him, but if nothin' else, a sequence of pictures were found the other day which shows that Vivica Fox must not have been puttin' it down in bed 4 him because he has now ran to this. I know they always say there is a reason behind everythin', but the reasonin' behind these photos might be more questionable than the damn photos themselves, so I don't even wanna hear that shit.

It's final, 50 can NO LONGER beef wit ANYBODY. How u gonna question somebody else when u holdin' dildoes wit a smile on ur face. Public Service Announcement, 4 all the MC's who got into altercations with 50 in the past, this is ur time 2 get back at him, cuz there is NO way around this one. U ain't gotta even say anythin', jus put a video on YouTube with a filmstrip with these pictures and a repetitive "50 likes men" hook in the background and u ain't even gotta rhyme, the shit is self-explanatory.

Allegations of snitchin', everybody on G-Unit floppin', nobody feelin' ur new music and NOW u like dildoes, 50's career is over...

"My Voice Irritatin' N*ggas..."

Sorry to monopolize this blog shit, but this video is so funny I had to share. Basically it's a posse track, with all your favorite rappers being hella gay. Some of the impressions are so on point it's hilarious. My fav's are 50 Cent, Ludacris, Gucci Mane, DMX, and of course er'body's favorite rapper, Li' muthafuckin' Boosie.



"My ice look cheesy, I got it at the maaall!"

How Can You Hate When the Shit's This Funny?

Bay Area 4 Life Son!!!

More than Music, Greg Oden in the club

And to think I ever doubted Greg Oden was ready for the NBA. At first I thought stay, polish your talents, enjoy college. Then I saw this picture and realized Greg has the most important part of being a professional athlete down...groupie management. I apologize for any doubts I had prior to viewing this image, because he seems to be on the right track so far. I don't want to speculate, but Oden could be well on his way to following in the footsteps of all the great, hall of fame adulterers. Kobe, Shaq, Michael Jordan, Barry Bonds, Chipper Jones folks we are talkin all-time greats here and I see no reason why Greg cannot out shine them all. Now all he needs is an endorsement deal, and some illegitimate kids by this young impressionable white woman, and he is all set.

Greg, before you embark on your journey of debaucherous, hedonistic encounters only Wilt Chamberlin could compete with, I think you need to get acquainted with a few phrases. 1)"He or She is not mine" 2) " I told you them kids ain't mine, so I ain't payin!"and of course the inevitable...3) "How much do I owe exactly?". Number 3 is key because you will not only be saying it to your future baby mamas, but also your lawyer, judges and whatever random skeezers, hoochies, hussies, impudent m.i.l.f's and snaggle-toothed smuts you have to pay to keep their mouths shut. Also remember one or two illegitimate kids is fine, shit who doesn't have one or five of those things floating around someplace. But lets not turn into Shawn Kemp son, More than 10 is really just ridiculous. God speed, and happy baby makin!

I'm not the only one!

Alright, since you punks don't trust my opinion, how about that of The LA Times? Yeah that's right, bitches, the Times is raving about Turf Talk. And so is All Hip-Hop, and so is (world's best blogger) Noz over at XXLmag.com. Not to mention the Bay Area blogs. And I just hit the local record store with my girl (who wanted to buy The West Coast Vaccine) and they only had one copy left. They've had to back order that shit! So wake up motherfuckers. Turf Talk is the truth, and this isn't just a good Bay Area album, or a good Hyphy album, or a good album for a relative of E-40. It's a fucking dope album. So stop frontin'.

I'll leave you with some words from Kelefa Sannah (yes, he of The New York Times.) Apparently he's on the (hyphy) train too.

Okaymentary: a documentary on Okayplayer

This is a trailer from a documentary that Okayplayer is making about their website. This is pretty much where I see Hip-hop POV at in 5 years. haha..

The 5-0 messed with the wrong dude this time...

Not that they ever seem to mess with the right guy.

According to August Brown's column in the LA Times, San Francisco police recently made fools of themselves and further diminished the police's already staggeringly awful reputation when they harassed The Coup's frontman Boots Riley, allegedly searching his car and launching accusations, to the extent that they investigated HIS ALTOID CASE.

Riley tells the story best, "One of the cops finds Altoids in the car, and is yelling at me, asking 'What pills are these?' I said, "They're breath mints; they're curiously strong."

Now I know that racial profiling is nothing new by any means, but this is just entertainment. Of all the people they could have messed with, it happens to be probably the most politically active rapper there is. He's a respected activist in the Bay Area, and a majority of his songs are about revolution and overall discontent with the system. And of course, he had to be the one the jackass pigs pulled over.

Right now he is working with the Office of Citizen Complaints to see what his legal options are in this case, according to the LA Times column. This isn't the first time, or the last, that this has happened to him. "I've gotten stopped for reckless eyeballing, for staring too hard," Riley told Brown. "These officers think they're Tarzan and this is a jungle, that all the animals need to be tamed."

The animals that need to be tamed are law enforcement officials. Why is it that I never seem to encounter officers who are sensible human beings, who communicate any sort of intelligible thought that really makes me comfortable that they are, indeed, "protecting and serving?" Maybe it's something they learn in the academy that demands they be ignorant monsters who should perceive contact with anyone 15-35 and able-bodied a threat, and any contact with black people an absolute state of emergency. Or maybe they are as scared of the black community as blacks are of them.

I mean, seriously, an Altoid case?

For those not in the know, The Coup is a Bay Area-based, politically charged hip-hop group who got national attention when their 2001 album Party Music originally showed the World Trade Center towers blowing up on the album cover--shortly before 9/11. The FBI raided Boots's apartment but found that it was just a coincidence... an amazing one at that.

I've been onto The Coup for a few years now and I love what they do. They are multi-dimensional and one of the only ones using hip-hop as protest music these days--and that's not to take away from the other topical raps Boots is capable of articulating. The Coup's style is pretty laid back, almost ambient, and I think you Southern heads would dig it... Boots's drawl and delivery are reminiscent of Devin the Dude or even Big Boi.

This just in: Common is gay

I wonder if that's a Gap hoodie...
