Rap Line of the Year

Surprisingly did not come from a rapper...

"Mad Men want to be me like I'm Don fucking Draper."



To understand this video hit the link below.

And check this if you have no clue who Don Draper is then please correct that.

And their gutter sex talk matches anything Cam'ron/Dipset puts out.

"Good things come in threes,
So I'll need you on your back, your stomach and your knees."

Please use that line this weekend.

Don't Blame Rap: It's Just a Mirror to the Hood



I think I saw some people burning dollars by the soup kitchen in my hood.

Fucking disgraceful.
I think it's time we all stop pretending that rap speaks to everyday black people anymore than a board meeting at Exxon speaks to the everyday white person.

This Is Why God Invented Blogs

OhWord's classic deconstruction of Illmatic is more thorough than most graduate theses.

Reading that post confirmed what is becoming less debatable by the day.

Illmatic is truly the GOAT.

It's sad how Nas sounds more mature as a teenager in 1994 than he does in 2008 as he whores himself for attention with his "Nigger" album.

Sad.

Snitch of the Week: 1/13 - 1/19 (Rappers on Steroids)


(Marlo Stanfield, my new alias)

The idea of rappers on steroids shouldn't have received the surprise reaction it did when the news broke last week.

Look at the formula of rap music.


Hyper masculine culture

+ Exaggerated fantasy talk

+ Weak Album Sales

+ The Need for Attention

= AKA Barry Bonds/Roger Clemens syndrome


The real kicker is how they ordered their steroids,

  • "Between August 2005 and January 2007 Blige allegedly received multiple shipments from an Orlando pharmacy of Jentropin, a human growth hormone, and Oxandrolone, an anabolic steroid, in orders sent to her at the Beverly Hills Hotel, MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and Clay Gym in New York City.

    At least one of the orders was mailed under the name "Marlo Stanfield," which is the character name of a drug kingpin on the Baltimore-based HBO crime drama "The Wire."
    "[50 Cent] is alleged to have received shipments of steroids at his mansion in Farmington, Conn. in July 2006 an order was mailed to his residence under the name "Michael Jordan" and also at a residence on Oakmont Drive in Los Angeles. Steroids in his name also were mailed to the office of a Long Island chiropractor."


My name is Stringer Bell Vic Mackey Jack Bauer and I'd like one steroid please!

Stupid fucks.

The runner-up is a group of E-thugs who decided to bring their gangsterism to YouTube.

  • Two alleged gang members who taunted the Miami Dade Police Department in a video posted on YouTube have been arrested by U.S. agents and charged with federal firearms violations.

    Rudy Villanueva and Tony Logan, alleged members of a Miami-Dade County street gang called the Bird Road Boys, were seen in the video brandishing a shotgun, assault rifle and handguns. Villanueva was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement late Tuesday evening, and Logan was arrested early Wednesday morning.

    Villanueva, who goes by the names King Bird Road and Bird Road Rudy, is the alleged leader of the gang and is seen on the video saying, "Metro Dade Gang Unit, here I am baby." Villanueva went on in the video to say "we's out here fighting a Cold War" and that "they come at us if they want to.

    Logan appears in the video saying "come get it" while flashing gang signs and pulling the triggers of the two handguns he is holding.

    Mexicans for the win!


    For somehow involving The Wire with the ever spreading steroid scandal, steroid rappers are the Snitch of the Week.

Top 10 Rap Albums of ... Not Yet



I'm starting to put together the year end lists and it's a little rough because there is a huge glut of Q4 music and I'm not interested in most of it.

Plus there is the never-ending Ghostface/Wu-Tang drama.

  • Raekwon recently had voiced his displeasure with 8 Diagrams’ musical direction. Are you happy with how the album came out?

    That s**t is wack. I heard RZA was changing some of the beats around the last minute. I didn’t hear that. I don’t know what y’all listening to out there. I never heard it. I’m with Raekwon.

Ghost is right. Whatever RZA did to the album sucked. There is no cohesion or melody anywhere to be found. The album is just plain awful. I'm scared of the first week sales.

On the other hand, Ghostface's new album is better than I ever expected. Who'd think Ghost would have anything interesting to spit after dropping 2 albums in 2006?


Also, this Troutman/Bootsy Collins hybrid "Sensual Seduction" video from Snoop is creative, hilarious and surprisingly decent as a song.

When was the last time those 3 words appeared together with anything rap related or I wasn't shitting on Snoop for his ignorance?



Kudos Snoop.

Can someone please tell me what project this is off of?
