Fuck Jay-Z and Puff Daddy.

But thanks for the news segments, Illseed.

-Black People

Im really excited about the America Gangster movie and soundtrack!!!!!

SMH, Im at a lost for words when it comes to anything Amy Winehouse does at this point!

As tired as I am of 50 cent, Its nice to see 50 cent doing something positive.

Finally 50 Cent doin somethin else with his money besides throwin it up in the air

That man cryin over LL given him $500 probably never seen a $100 dollar bill before, if i was broke sellin roses for a living i would cry to (no homo)

Illseed wut was the point of mentioning Brittney Spears? The white folks at TMZ care the Black folks at AHH don't

Nas naming his cd Nigga is just a sub conscious thing he is doin about awareness jus like naming his cd 'Hip Hop is Dead' i don't have a problem with naming his cd Nigga, and wuts Al Sharpton gonna say about that? here comes another 3 months of drama

@ BlackPeople 1: "F*** Jay-Z and Puff Daddy"-

basically.

bp1, theres alot worse artists than jigga to take ur anger out on.

Damn TIP, I guess some niggas never learn.  I knew Fox news was going to jump all over this.  I know Bill O'Reilly is somewhere raw from masturbating to this news.  Damn, Hip-Hop lost.

T.I. could of done this a lil bit more Fed Safer (If you know what I mean) but come on at least what til after the Awards to pull it off, But hey maybe the guns was going to be used in his big finally at the awards if he didnt WIN!!!!!!!!!

50 Cent doin some postive, now thats what im talking about, maybe the lost to Kayne has humbled our rich friend.

FYI:  I went to the Kayne West show a few days ago and it was the best live hip hop show that ive ever seen.

WHATS YOUR FAV. LIVE HIP HOP SHOWS.

Here is my top 4 in order

1. Kanye West
2. Busta Rhymes
3. Lil Wayne
4. Bow Wow (belive it or not, and Im not a total fan of his music but his stage presence with his DJ was nice.)

CLAPS FOR 50!!!

NAS... NUGGA? LOL

thats ridiculous.

Payboy Bow WOW top 4 stage performers...... Those must be the only 4 shows you ever saw.

Friend or Foe and TheMC, I'm only addressing y'all at this level once and that's it.

But I dunno where y'all dudes is from.

Or how much game you got or if you really like premium Hip Hop music.

But if you look at the influence that the two Seans have, every negative or sucka emcee that's out right now from 50Cent to Mims to whoever have been allowed access because of the doors Puff Daddy and Jay-Z opened.

If you know ANYTHING then you know this as actual fact.

Now if you tryna come through those same doors, then I can see why you are defending those dudes molesting you.

Maybe you think it's your fault?

Funny.

Yo, stop letting these dudes fuck you in the ass and then turn around and jam their dicks down your throats.

That's nasty.

-Black People

FUCK 50 AND HIS GIVING BACK!!
WHAT THE FUCK DOES BRITTY HAVE TO DUDE WITH HIM GIVEN THEM MONEY?
FUCK 50!!
NOW WHAT

BIG UP 2 JAY-Z P.DIDDY AND PIMP C

FUCK  KIMORA LEE FAT NECK ASS TOO
CLIFFORD AINT GETTING OUT
IF U THINK HE IS
GOD BLESS U
CAUSE YOU GONE NEED IT.

T.I. is supposed to be smarter than that, or at least I thought he was. He's a talented guy who was on the cusp of superstardom and it makes him look like a moron. However, I do think he may have been targeted bc of his status and his prior convictions.Regardless, the man shouldn't be out coppin gunz. His career is all but over now.

T.I.P. won. lol

What has Jay-Z spit that was the truth?, i don't feel any of his music has as much substance as Kanye's does. Jay-Z never put out a Diamonds are Forever type of track, honestly Jay-Z only talks about wealth, New York and hustling right?
?????????????????????????????????????

You can't get no righter than that BossUp

Jay rarely if never talks about anything else but Money, hustling and being the king of something Governer Pataki owns.

He brags about never writing a song down?
Maybe you should Jay?
Then all your songs wont sound tha same.
It's easy to freestyle and memorize a whole album if you are stuck in the same mindframe.
Get out tha box a little Hova?
Fuck...write about Hova?, GOD, Life sumin.

But maybe Im wrong, he prolly don't want to be that kind of rapper. He maybe just want to appeal to tha shorties with his club hits.
If so dont call your self a hiphop head.
Cuzz hiphop is well balanced on a plethora of issues.

Nas doesnt sell half of what Jay does, but Nas got respect amongst his constituents.
His albums are laced with different topics that has the respect of being written out and thought over on paper.

I can freestyle a simple Jigga verse lol

"It's ya boy"
"uh-uh"
"jigga, jigga ya heard?"

Yo-

you say jay and puff birthed mims and 50 but then why dont u blame g rap and kane for birthing jay and puff.

Good look for 50...Good to give back

Look at 50 Cent, like he said when he was young he couldn't do good now he can't do bad. That cat has quietly been giving back even as record sales go the other direction. Think that gotta do something with Master P son'n him?

And Jay-Z needs to hurry up and finalize that album. Because any album where a Kanye production couldnt make it has to be on some other shit. Gotta hear that.

Nas, you have officially lost your mind. lmaooo. How does tv and radio possibly promote that album?

Anyways, Peep Out Curtiss King's Amy Winehouse Unbeweavable music lmaoo:

his whole list is fucked up.

Man, I left my powercord to my lap top at a venue I was at the other night I get on line today and all hell done broke loose. WTF was T.I. thinkin???

HIP HOP IS DEAD!!

Can someone else please answer Friend or Foe's question.

Please don't make me explain what the difference between Kane, G. Rap  and Puff and Jay-Z is.

Don't make me bring up Erase Racism and Word to the Motherland.

Please don't make me.

Somebody else help this dude out.

G. Rap and Kane birthed Nas, Canibus, Black Thought and Percee P.

Puff Daddy and Jay-Z are on materialism.
Simple and plain.
No balance whatsoever.

Keep in mind Jay-Z switched his pitch from the figgita, figgita stuff to the crime lord shit on Reasonable Doubt and every subsequent album.

I'll repost The Versace Wars on this page for you Friend or Foe.

Gimme a minute...

-Black People

WOW TI MADE DA NEWS
MAYNE THIS SMELLS LIKE A SETUP


WWW.MYSPACE.COM/THAGRINDAHOLIC
NEW UNDERGROUND HEATER "LATER 4 U"

THE VERSACE WARS

See, it's not about repping an era. And that is an argument that I hear the new dudes using in defense of their ignorance.
"Ah, you stuck in the past."
"But people don't make Hiphop like that no more."
etc, etc, etc,

These are copouts.

And what people are complaining about is not their era. This isn't a "see, when I was coming up" type of deal.

Number one: Up until Puff Daddy, black music was always creative and always contained a positive conscious element.

Even NWA.

Nobody said you gotta be a saint. Go 'head. Call a chick a bitch. But let us know about them punk type police too.

And that's the extreme case.

Number two: Prior to Puff Daddy, Black music (actually all Black entertainment) always showed respect for those that came before.

Just Ice - Going Way Back

Brand Nubian - Dedication

Tupac - Nuntin like the Old School (which I like to retitle "New York Love")

Even in 2003 when Nas made Star Wars, he mentioned that he was "brought up off that Planet Rock, James Todd Smith, Kurtis Blow, Shannon Scott..." , this shows that the better artist has an awareness and creative respect for the musicians that came before them.

This way they can carry the torch and get the blessing from greats that preceeded them.
Imagine Lil Jon or Nelly taking a photo with Rakim and Big Daddy Kane.

Unlikely.

Try to picture Scott Storch or the Neptunes posing with Marley Marl.
Forget it.

Even in the records that I mentioned in an earlier post, I've drawn from the early eighties to the nineties. That's beyond my era. But the dopeness is still there.

The low tolerance for wack beats and sucka emcees is still there from RUN to MF Doom.
All of the greats have respect for the shit that comes before them.

But not these new dudes.

In order for the wack shit that they create to be justified, they have to pretend that the time that they are living in now is the way that is always was.

They must pretend to know only about the shit that's convenient. The garbage that supports their wack shit.

You cannnot directly link any sucka emcee out now with Young or Lil in front of his name to Kool G. Rap or any master lyricist.

Let me break down for you what Puff did and how he did it and what effect it had and has on the new dudes...

Boom it was '94, right? April. Illmatic had just dropped. No need for me to jock that album. We know it's status. Baby Nas on the cover. Whatever, whatever.

So boom in the fall Biggie's album came out and you know the first single was over the hit record Juicy. Which was already a hit.

But hey it was Biggie we ain't care.
Then Biggie's album cover had a picture of a baby biggie. they had bit off nas. bite means to copy someone else's shit, by the way.

Like if we breakin or poppin' and hit you wit some ill footwork then you take my shit across town and try to rep with that shit but ain't know my man julio was in the crowd watching, he gon scream out "you bitin"

then everyone gon start laughin at you cuz guess what?
BITING IS CORNY.

My fault, now when they had bit Nas baby cover concept heads was like oh shit, what the deal with that?

So then we all rockin our tapes and he got the jawn big poppa on there where they bit the Isley Brothers between the sheets song.

We wanted more original bangers like Unbelievable but again, fuck it cuz it was biggie.

but another sinister force was at work here. He goes by the name of sean combs.

So then Boom they remixed the Big Poppa jawn and threw in some Versace for good measure. Now heads is really gettin sick cuz they like what's with the wack Jermain Dupri beat? Why is he rhymin about clothes and girls?

(side note: radio's primary fanbase is females 18-34. that's why all the wack shit shares chick friendly subject matter to gain radio play)

So boom it don't stop ("cuz we won't stop" - Puff Daddy), in 95 with Biggie in the forefront, Puff hit us with the Atom Bomb: One More Chance remix. New beat: El Debarge jawn that some would say Rashad Smith bit from Lord Finesse. Cuz Lord Finesse freaked it first.

But he wasn't talking about Versace, Cartier and gators.

Under Puff, Biggie was.

Although Biggie's rhymes was ill - now doubt he could rip no matter the subject - the content of rhyming had changed.

Cuz face it, who don't like pussy, cars and money?

I know I do.

But not in my music. Especially when it's forced.

And the subsequent rappers felt like to get pussy they had to rap about cars, jewelry and such.

So more songs were released in late 95 to early 96 with materialism as the subject matter. While your beat had to have already have been a hit or something that someone else had rocked on and was a hit.

Acceptance of this for beats, broke down the tolerance for dope shit on the beat side.

But wait.

So here we are in the summer of '96 and the door is open for anybody to come through who talking about being a player, having versace, cristal, or diamonds.
and guess who steps through the door?

You got it.

Sean number two.
Jay-Z (or Shawn to be accurate)

He had versace.

A beeper. Cell phones. Drug rhymes and a beat that somebody had already rocked over:

Ain't no Nigga is an EPMD hit.

Now it's late 96 and shit really is on fire.

So in 97 every month puff daddy had a "remix" featuring himself on the radio.
And mase came out. Oh wait I fucked that up. ma$e came out.
shit is mad fucked up by now and the RZA tried to fight back but the wheels were set in motion.

dudes where rhyming over songs that were already hits. talking nonsense about high fashion and cristal.

so now the tolerance was lowered.

DMX came out with "Where my dogs at?" Rhyming directly over Epmd's "Get the Bozack".

Puff Daddy and Ma$e rhymed over The message by Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel
- I'd like to take this time to point out that The Message like all Black Music prior to Puff was about hope and awareness in the 'hood.

you think that's what Puff and the new dudes talked about?

Un-unh.

Get money. Playa hatin'.

Now dudes are seeing this deterioration of hiphop standards so they are like boom we can jump in right now and just keep the subject about ice and shit and won't nobody notice we ain't got no skills.

also another thing happened: You know how if you buy a toy keyboard or something and it has music built into it when you open it out of the box? this dude swizz beats "produced" a song outta of one of those.

Everybody saw it and beatmakers was like we can get away with that?

so up springs a very talented POP (keyword: POP) producer named timbaland with a song for the late Alliyah (damn I forgot her first single)

The sound was unique
it was on the radio
he was young.
so it's hiphop right?
fuck no.

but dudes saw that and started to make their beats like him.

Jay-z connected with him.

Player-type crime rap connected with bubblegum beats equal a million records sold.

shit is ALL fucked up by now.

but wait, master p. comes out with silk the shocker.
master P. drops Ghetto D. (make crack like this)
biting (and disrespecting) eric b. and rakim's classic while rapping as simplistic as possible.

Capitalizing off the ignorance of their people, the "no limit" squad did that record, "UNNNHH" some other bullshit, dropped an album by a gimmicky bi-polar no rhyme skills cat named "mystikal" and cleaned up.

Cashing in on half a billion.

Now Juvenile saw it was easy so he makes one of the most embarassing songs I've ever heard from my people called "Ha"

Straight dumb shit.
Silly ass beat.
Horrendous "rhymes" if you even wanna call it that.

So boom now here come the neptunes.
Cuz the game is wide open and any wack shit will fly.
they make a few songs using the exact same drum pattern and clean up.

the rest is probably current enough for when you started to listen to hiphop.

This is "standards reversal". Sorta like in the Willie Lynch story how they say they reversed the roles of the sexes and made black men lazy -- living with moms, or girlfriends, or girlfriend's moms, no career havin' or wantin' --and made the women the breadwinners.

This is the concept behind the reversing the standards for Black music
it's systematic.

See manufactures need empty-headed, easily programmable consumers.

So that when they say buy or "Press Play" you do.
Therefore they have to constantly dumb you down and feed you your opinions so that when they tell you something is "hot" you jump and fork over your dough.

But you needn't be that easy. We're men not sheep.

all of our people prior to the two seans would make music that was creative and provide some sort of social commentary while having a thorough knowledge and influence of those that came before.

but not these new dudes.
So what I rep is product.
Not an era.

By the way speaking of Bow Wow while i was at work last week he was on the radio here in l.a. on power 106 and Big Boy asked him who if anyone in the game could he rap circles around and he said Young Joc, i was like nigga please, yall both garbage

Payboy Said:

@Payboy:

No disrespect but ive seen bow wow perform and, ummm...yeah It wasnt anything special at all, I think it takes more than just stage presence to have a good live show)

1.Jay-Z(Im not a fan but I have to hand it to him, he puts on a good show).
2.Lil Wayne
3.Kanye
4.T.I.(Guess we wont be seeing him perform anytime soon, SMH)

Good look on 50's part...gotta give back to the youth regardless of your path in life...word

and i'm still up in the air about this American Gangster thing that Jay got going on....i kinda feel like he's just using the movie as a way to keep talking about drugs on record cuz that shit been played homie...callin' it a "concept" album hahahaha

if that's the case just about every hov release could be  considered a concept album...he' hasn't  changed his concept since he stopped fucking with Original Flavor and that dude Ski who started "Roc-a-blok" records back in the day...do your research 80's babies...

you say jay and puff birthed mims and 50 but then why dont u blame g rap and kane for birthing jay and puff.

???????????????????????????????

I gotta disagree with you there.
I used to be a big fan of Jigga but he fell off the last 4 albums to me.
Only about 3 tracks on each album and maybe that number is high.

BUT, G-Rap and Kane didn't birth the Jigga we know.
That Jigga was Hawaiian Sophie Jigga and his name was Jay-Z, you remember, could be why Jaz-O (similarity?) had beef with Jigga a couple years back.

This Jay-Z is born out of the Biggie era, he didnt start soundin like this till he started kicking it with Biggie.
Didn't Nas cover this for you?

You gotta remember Jay was on they team, and he still biting Biggie versus'

And of Course I ain't mad at Big, thats my dude.
I've known of Jay since back in the 80's and liked him till the Blueprint Vol.2
Shit was mad wack.

Sauce Money used to do work with him they got beef
Jaz-O?
Jayo Felony think that Jay-Z pushed his album back becuzz of their beef.

I'm not a Jay-Z hata, I just want tha old Jay-Z back
I know he's a grown man but Redman is too and he still flow that same fire.

@ BFG

I forget what song he said it on...but i'm listenin through some TI right now to figure it out.

As far as Short Dogg...he just wanna smash. Him writin her lyrics keeps her on the show longer, and keeps him on the show longer. Which means you see Too $hort every week.

the bodyguard that turned him in wasnt a snitch - he was an agent of the government.

this situation isnt like irv gotti at all.

read this paragraph

"ATF agents arrested the rapper in an Atlanta shopping center after he allegedly attempted to illegally purchase machine guns through a bodyguard who was working for the government."

not a good look

Black People 1 is on point -- I'm glad to see him spittin' knowledge on this.  I never talk bad about Jay-Z 'cause I don't listen to him enough to care, but I just saw a video with him riding around in a Ferrarri and spinning around in a boat spittin' the same lyrics I've heard him spit on nearly every other track he does.  I don't blame him though -- its the people who buy it that make what it is, what it is.

He's right about '94 -- that's right around when hip-hop flip flopped and became rap more than it was hip-hop.  It was happening on the West Coast too -- Ice-T was getting political, Ice Cube was getting political -- but that got crushed by all that money talk.  'Pac held it down for a while, but even he walked that fine line between being a revolutionary and being a parody of a "thug" who only cared about "bitches and money".  I see Ras Kass falling that way as well -- makes you wonder how many great lyricists we keep missing out on because of how much the rap "game" has been corrupted.

No more "Fight the Power" -- just ice, grills, spinners and gats.

But like they say, this too shall pass.

That TI thing got my people out here in IL salty.   Him & T-Pain had (or should I say) was going to have a concert here last night.  It was a sold out.  Cats at my job took off work & everything today because they were gonna be kickin it big right.  Me I'm just so used to concerts being every weekend when I lived out in Vegas so I wasn't really stuntin on goin to see them.  I wake up today went into the office & this old cat that I sit next to was like man you read the paper.  I was like no man what happened he was like man TI didnt show up.  Ohhhh man I thought all hell broke loose.  That's when I found out what really happened

Damn people always talking about "back in the days" if hip hop was the same as it was 10-20 years ago it wouldnt be hip hop. Why cant some people just accept diversity whether its wack or not. Do you really think a rapper talking about versace is gonna effect a rapper talking about conciousness in the hood? In dummy terms not everyone that listens to hip hop is from the hood nor balling some are in between and that alone should be celebrated. Imagine everyone and every song talking about the ghetto damn that would be depressing and not only that do you think millionaires stay in the ghetto to keep it "real"? if your from the ghetto you want out so if you have a chance to get out thats an accomplishment. Yeah puff is cheesy sometimes but you cant knock him, he got alot of brothers and sisters out of the slums. if it wasnt pop rap cheesy club bangers etc. then there wouldnt be anything called conscious rap or "real" hip hop. Balance is what makes the world what it is so stop all ya blood clot crying.

Now thats out of the way damn now they have t.i. they locking everybody up man. good luck man damn he's one of the people i can see being cool outside of rap.

Nas whatever you name your album just bring it.

Does anyone know the song "you are my starship" mobb deep sampled it for "trife life"
Now that song will probably get you the draws lol

what you know about sesame street?...

richard pryor- That nigger's crazy
Nwa efil4zaggin
Pac strictly for my niggaz
Nas Nigga
I say fuck it. Nasir can name his new album "Colored" if he wants.

Black People you're lame. You old, "I can single-handedly save hip-hop." corny hipocrite. Jay-z took this music that we all love to another level. He may have opened a couple of doors along the way but everyone knows that those people who don't belong in the building get the door shut on them before they get comfortable. You're probably the sell out dude at the party...who compensates for his short-comings by criticizing the people who made it possible for him to eat. I don't know if you work in this industry but both Sean's have helped hip-hop take enormous strides. By the way how many of those wack rappers they have opened the door for are signed to their respective labels? (besides joc?)

but on top of that f*ck puff he know who killed biggie you were looking right at him...sucka

On that same tip, props to 50 Cent for doing good low-key and not making it a marketing scheme -- that's how you really keep it real.

50's been on this for a minute, too, but the media won't ever focus on it when somebody is out there doing something positive -- yet they'll be the first to put Vick or T.I. in the headlines for representing the negative.

@ BFG

found it...It's on the song "Live in the Sky" 3rd Verse

[Verse 3]
I bet you niggaz think I'm livin it up
Til you see polices laughin as they pickin me up
Went from seeing how many bitches I could fit in the truck
To three hots and a cot, is you kiddin or what?
Fuck how many millions I got, nigga, so what if I'm hot
When I got prices on my head, feds rushin my spot
A million haters want me dead, forced to carry a gat
"But you's a seven-time felon, what you doin wit that?"
It's a Catch-22, either you lose or you lose
That's the way the game structured, for real, niggaz to suffer
And I ain't neva been a buster, always stood on my feet
Like a man prepared to take whatever coming for me
A pussy nigga or polices with a warrant for me
I'm a G, prepared to die for what's important to me
Look anybody in the eye who say he want it wit me
Put up the house and bet the odds if it's comin from me
Ol G's say I need to learn to be patient
You telling me with these seven years of probation
Pistol charges and a host of other open cases
If niggaz only knew the kind of time I was facin
I try to keep it to myself, but sometimes I couldn't take it
Got four kids, the smiles on they faces
Mean more to me than my crown and my bracelet
Take that away from me, and my life is butt naked

lol @ tha reporter on tha TI video being black! i bet the was blowed!! tha dude probally was listening to Big Shit Poppin on his way to wrk! lol

at the beginning you can hear the sample primo used for Das Efx song :"real hip hop".

But back on you dudes goin ass 2 mouth with the guys that's raping you.

The LACK OF balance is what we are disgusted about.

It's all plastic nowadays.

Not a mixture.

You know this.

Thanks for recognizin'.

Real recognize real, BP1.

The way I see it, black people need to do something new.  We did swing, we did jazz, we did bebop, we did blues, we did rock, we did gospel, we did funk, we did soul, we did techno, we did hip hop, now we got to keep moving.

Once whatever black folks do goes goes mainstream, it always dies out, gets watered down, has to go back underground to get refreshed.

I don't know what's next, but I do know we need something fresh in the atmosphere before we let all that material destroy the spirit.

TO THE COMMENTS ABOUT MY TOP PERFOMERS LIST:

First I have seen many performances like:
Faboulous (He just held his nuts and rapped the whole time)

Chingy (Just Awful)

Young Buck ( cool but had 100 niggas on stage wit him and 20 had mics)

Jim Jones (was drunk and barley knew his on songs)

Young Jeezey (cool but nothing special)

Jibbs (come on!!!!)
and More

I have never seen TI live but I know he has a great show like many others but this is just what I have seen live.

But thats just my thoughts and I do have to aplogize cause I forgot about Jay-Z, I did see him perform and he should be #2 on my list.

But I feel ya on Bow Wow, but he did have a good hip hop show wit his DJ that I liked, cause it kind of had that ol skool hip hop feel wit tha show (sorry but I did)

SO HERE WE GO AGAIN

1. KANYE WEST

2. JAY-Z

3. BUSTA RHYMES

4. LIL WAYNE

5. BOW WOW (and yes im ready for tha hate thats coming BRING IT LOL.)

To BlackPeople 1 said:

In my opinion, East Coast rappers were always rapping about what they have.   Thats who we were.  Come on....Run DMC...LL, Kane....Brand Nubian..."Girbauds hanging baggy hillfigure on top"....Plenty of rappers to name a few.  Right now, Some artist are getting PAID! More money, more things to brag about....As far as the music...Sampling was a key to hip hop.  Just put in the song and rap over the instrumental.....Puff just happen to sample the right records....  I like Jays music and how he grew from a hustler from marcy to the corner office out the cul de sac.   People will always sample...  Thats my 2 cents....Im just a fan of Hip Hop..

?????????????????????????????????????

You can't get no righter than that BossUp

Jay rarely if never talks about anything else but Money, hustling and being the king of something Governer Pataki owns.

He brags about never writing a song down?
Maybe you should Jay?
Then all your songs wont sound tha same.
It's easy to freestyle and memorize a whole album if you are stuck in the same mindframe.
Get out tha box a little Hova?
Fuck...write about Hova?, GOD, Life sumin.

But maybe Im wrong, he prolly don't want to be that kind of rapper. He maybe just want to appeal to tha shorties with his club hits.
If so dont call your self a hiphop head.
Cuzz hiphop is well balanced on a plethora of issues.

Nas doesnt sell half of what Jay does, but Nas got respect amongst his constituents.
His albums are laced with different topics that has the respect of being written out and thought over on paper.

you are a sallow listener. Did you forget the katrina track off of KC. You probably never hustled for anything in your life. All you hear is the money but can't see the bigger picture. If you wanna hear different topics write your own raps, hova is playin in his lane. Everybody aint gonna understand his flow thats just life.

What has Jay-Z spit that was the truth?, i don't feel any of his music has as much substance as Kanye's does. Jay-Z never put out a Diamonds are Forever type of track, honestly Jay-Z only talks about wealth, New York and hustling right?
?????????????????????????????????????

You can't get no righter than that BossUp

Jay rarely if never talks about anything else but Money, hustling and being the king of something Governer Pataki owns.

He brags about never writing a song down?
Maybe you should Jay?
Then all your songs wont sound tha same.
It's easy to freestyle and memorize a whole album if you are stuck in the same mindframe.
Get out tha box a little Hova?
Fuck...write about Hova?, GOD, Life sumin.

But maybe Im wrong, he prolly don't want to be that kind of rapper. He maybe just want to appeal to tha shorties with his club hits.
If so dont call your self a hiphop head.
Cuzz hiphop is well balanced on a plethora of issues.

Nas doesnt sell half of what Jay does, but Nas got respect amongst his constituents.
His albums are laced with different topics that has the respect of being written out and thought over on paper.

you are a sallow listener. Did you forget the katrina track off of KC. You probably never hustled for anything in your life. All you hear is the money but can't see the bigger picture. If you wanna hear different topics write your own raps, hova is playin in his lane. Everybody aint gonna understand his flow thats just life.

A-Yo

All you cats on here arguing about people saying what is hiphop and what isn't need to listen before you speak.

Critizing someone for not being HipHop is just that, period.
It has nothing to do with other "Rap" artist.

Definition of HipHop:
Hip hop music is a style of popular music composed of a rhythmic, rhyming vocal style called rapping (also known as emceeing) over backing beats and scratching performed on a turntable by a DJ. When combined with breakdancing and graffiti art, these are the four components of hip hop, a cultural movement which began in New York City in the 1970s, predominantly among African Americans and Latinos.[1] The term rap music is sometimes used synonymously with hip hop music, though it is also used to refer specifically to the practice of rapping.
##################
I am from the generation of HipHop
Most of this new shit is Rap, or Pop
It ain't hiphop....

You cats need to know what HipHop is before you talk shit about "old heads always wanna complain"

You dudes don't even know what hiphop is, if you did you would understand why we say HipHop is dead.
Everybody thinks that just becuzz you rhyme you are HipHop....Bullshit

That's why us "genX" mufuckas get mad when you 80's babies talk about music.

You have no idea what hiphop is

Do me this favor
Know what your talking about next time you open your mouth to debate someone.

If you are a Rapper do ya thing, but don't get mad at me when I check you for claiming to be hiphop.

I listen to HipHop, I dress HipHop, I talk HipHop, I am hiphop
Eazy-E was hiphop

More info

http://media.www.upressonline.com/media/storage/paper518/news/2007/07/12/CurrentIssue/Hip-Hop.Vs.Rap-2923333.shtml

"Hip hop is not all about business, but in fact it is art and literature that anyone can relate to. Hip hop advocates stopping violence, encouraging unity, love, peace and awareness. Hip hop teaches lessons in a creative way. Hip hop has something to say; it is not just about money, women and cars. That seems to be rap. Though hip hop may speak about issues such as disrespecting women, glorifying drugs and the use of guns, it is not glorifying them. Instead, it is merely saying they need to be done for survival"

518p-

I hope I've been clear for some of you

"Rap is more about the industrial side and less about the message to better ourselves. Rappers such as Cassidy say that they have hustled, and when they speak about hustling, they do not always make it clear that it was for survival and clearly their last option"

518p-

Also you guys are saying just becuzz emcee's back in tha day flowed about money and truck chains that it's tha same thing....

Again look at the definition of HipHop
Plus their album was full of that shit.
Black folks have always like nice shit regardless of what music genre it was.

But HipHop cats don't waste all of their artistic talent on the same topic.

518p-

Jay Z must be real seriuos about this album glad to see he still in the game. "THE ROCS IN THE BUILDING!!!"

@ Payboy

for the sake of not starting anymore arguments i'll change it to top 4 RAP performances i've seen:

4. P. Diddy (Oct 2001 B96 Halloween Bash [for those of you from chicago, i know b96 is extremely lame but the lineup included Fabolous (right when he came out) and Afroman (who put on a good show too) & some R&B acts] - while i'm not and never have been a fan of his music he won me over by putting on a really good show... now this was right after 9/11 and he pulled out a big flag and got a USA chant going (so there was obviously some emotion involved) but still he did put on a good performance

3. Run DMC ( Q101 Jamboree 2001) - while Run DMC was extremely out of place at an alternative rock concert, and of course there was the fact that they were disrespected by being put on the 2nd stage and not the main one, they put on a really really good show.  Now i wasn't into Run DMC at the time (and i'm still not really) they rocked the house.  these white people were loving every minute of it too, they were moshing and all that.  Regardless they brought it.

2. Twista (2005 Twista / Mike Jones show in milwaukee) - yes i jumped on the mike jones bandwagon when he came out (i actually saw him and paul wall perform in a Moo & Oink parking lot about 4 months before i went to this show) regardless of his lack of skills his cd was enjoyable (notice how i didn't say it was GOOD).  MIKE JONES! WHO? actually put on a good show, however Twista had a ridiculous performance.  You could hear understand every word he said and he performed the classics like Po Pimpin.  at the time it was BY FAR the best rap concert i had ever been too (i did go to that Ca$h Money / Ruff Ryders concert back in 99 or 2000).  But it only be surpassed by...

1. Weezy F. Baby (2007 Street Dreams tour in Milwaukee) - after dealing with 4 maybe even 5 garbage opening acts, Rich Boy came on and i didn't understand a word he said until Throw Some D's on it came on (even then the only reason i knew what he said was because i knew the words already), then Jim Jones put on a really good show.  but then what i came to see a full set of Lil Wayne which was amazing, then he did almost another full set when Birdman came out.  by this time i was falling down because i was so fucked up but i didn't wanna disrepect Wayne by sitting down during his set... however when Jeezy and USDA came on i couldn't help but sit my ass down.  even though i was in my seat during most of the USDA performance it was good shit (because they did a lot off of Jeezy's solo CDs and not all that much USDA stuff).  Going to this concert was BY FAR my best memory from 4 years of college.

####################

Duke you need to pay attention...
I didn't say Jay never switches up, he is repetitive with the same shit in most of his songs.

I'm not hatin on Jay-Z, I'm a fan of tha old Jay-Z, NY street Banga Jay-Z.
I just haven't seen that shit in a while.

And I also said that maybe Jigga like doing what he do.
It's about tha money not that art so Jay do ya thang.

Jakeel if you want to know what a "true to da art artist" is check
Talib...he makes a album for free just cuzz he loves tha art.

Prince (not hiphop) but Prince does random albums and releases and could care less about release dates and sales.

Artist!

Please come with proper information when you question me homie.

@King.Of.LA
you said:
“if anybody influenced 50 it was ... the westcoast/bizmarkee/slick rick/nas/lostboyz... etc

the difference is when 50 dumbed his shit down like most of the list it worked.. when nas did it he career died and jay had to bring him back...”

I’m confused…are u sayin the entire westcoast and Slick Rick, dumbed their music down and 50 took after them? i must have read that wrong…can u clarify?

@BigSlimFL
LOL he done def. smashed already! LOL on but i’m not even knowing cause i only saw it once. i didn’t know he be on there every week. but thought it was hella funny cause it was sooo obvious. i think i only knew what it was when i saw it cause i saw something on here talking about it. i’m late….LMAO ay, I guess that T.I. verse says it all when it comes to his state of mind with all of this. but to me it’s still a choice to be made, ya feel me?

@BP 1

@ JustBlaaaze40:

Thanks for keeping tha peace fam, but yeah i went to the Street Dreams concert and thats when I saw Wayne but I do agree that was one of the best lineups for a show.

And I have always heard that P Diddy's performaces were amazing but I have never had the luck of seeing one cause he dont come down here to Nashville Tn.

I don't watch much Tv anymore because I'm always on this computer....

I read about TI and it was fucked up......


But then to see this on Video made it more real......


They got this brother....he made some bad choices....but they got his ass...

My prayers are with him and his family......


Peep this......http://www.myspace.com/precisesoundz

"Rap is more about the industrial side and less about the message to better ourselves. Rappers such as Cassidy say that they have hustled, and when they speak about hustling, they do not always make it clear that it was for survival and clearly their last option"



I agree that rappers glorify selling drugs and hustling. I don't agree that it's clearly their last option. Actually, I do, I just think that some hustlers bypass all other options and get straight to the stove, or the corner. I've never sold drugs, I've always made legit money and my pops wasn't around, moms wasn't givin me shit but the roof over my head. I still had a car when I turned 16. I went to school with the kids who were making decent grades, and come junior year said "fuck it i'm gonna be a stick up kid." or "yo if you need that green just holla at me." "yo slim, I got that white." That was before they went and tried to find a legit job. You started hustlin at 16? There's no possible way you can begin to imagine how many options you have at that age. It's easy money, instant gratification. You been in school for 10 years, you got 2 left, and you're NOT gonna finish?There are people who do hustle as a last option, but those people aren't rapping. They're too busy hustling. They sure as hell aren't rapping about hustlin. Real hustlers don't need to brag about what they got, because you can tell when you see them.

Rappers are dry snitching on themselves. We wonder why so many people are getting locked up on drug charges and gun charges. Because your song on the radio about selling drugs and/or having guns is heard by just more than the hood. You have your right to free speach, but remember everything you say can and will be used against you, and that's not just once you're in cuffs. Please believe if you go platinum and you are talking about drugs and guns Bill O'Reilly's stankin ass will be talking about what a bad seed you are and a detriment to society you have become, all on national television. The alphabet boys got kids who listen to their CDs, and know every word. That's how the cops hear about what you're doing, or have done. You think once a fed's kid comes home talkin about hittin the kitchen and whippin pots, and comeback, that they don't know what they're talkin about?  They DAMN sure know the name of every kind of gun you're gonna name. They get paid to figure out the when and where, but you're giving them the what.

@ BFG

I duno if Too $hort smashed, I thought that was one of Hef's main ladies?? Anyways, I've seen the show a couple times and I'm pretty sure they have their 'rap coach' throughout the entire show, so as long as that person is there, that person is their coach..

As far as the T.I. thing, read the post I JUST made right before this. People say he had to be set up. He threw the Alli, and the Feds just came for the Oop. I'm a T.I. fan, and this shit is sad to see. But he fucked up himself. I saw somewhere in a report that the guns were for his security that lived with him, and who were all registered to have weapons. Cool. Too bad the weapons themselves weren't registered. That shit is illegal than a muhfucker right there.

You know what I realized about y'all little new dudes?

Y'all stand for nothing.

Y'all jellyfish.

Spineless.

If corny was selling, then you would do it.

If they said make a song about raping ya mom because that's what's "bumpin in the club right now" you would do it.

You dudes don't deserve to be called men.

You know goddam well that Jay-Z is selling blatant negativity yet you support and defend it.

I dunno where the fuck y'all come from.

TV perhaps? Who knows?

Y'all coudnta been raised by men.
======

BFG, I ain't seen(t) Gawga today cuz I wanna tell him what I think about the music he sent me the other day.

Did you see that?

The Eightball and MJG stuff he sent me?

I used to always see it in the rekkid stores and never messed with it like that.

I'll wait til he comes back or Gawga if you in here lemme know and tell what I feel about the links now.

It's kinda complex.

But BFG on expression,

Oh wait -- they do have me fired up in here today.

Enough is enough.

The shit gotta stop somewhere or at least it gotta start to stop.

We totally spiraling out of control at this point.

Jay-Z is a fuckin slave trader. Just like the urban radio personalities. Just like Puff Daddy.

I keep waiting for someone to speak out but no one will.

And I sense that illseed is about to bombard us with rumours about jay-z the way he did 50 cent and kanye in the weeks leading up to thier release.

But if a person wronged you and continues to do so, how can people anticipate another album of this poisonous bullshit?

It's beyond me.

And I see no men taking a stand.

Er'rybody smiling and pulling their pants down waiting for Jay-Z to exploit them just one more time.

It turns my stomach.

But what was I gonna say?

Oh yeah, first on expression, you were saying you didn't wanna overstep your bounds.

Go on.

Or you have my email.
You can email me.

but after I read your post the other day I just was saying to myself so her answer is two-fold.

She enjoys kickin it here and she does have an outlet.

But in your outlets you rarely get to discuss the stuff we discuss here.

Which wasn't a point I had considered.

Because I thought about all that stuff because of the story about the girl and I was thinking that by career choice, I'm blessed with a creative outlet.

So I'm always creating but it's not always music and/or hip hop related.
Matter fact it rarely is.
'Cept if I whip up a beat. Or cut up some rekkids. Or do an urban project.

I think I may try to brainstorm a real hiphop cafe/bar with a real live DJ everyday.

In locations in the top 10 markets.

Maybe a bar and alchohol would lead to ninjas wilin'.

So maybe I'll keep the idea a cafe for now.

Told you it was just something brief. Just a comment to add-on to your "essay".

-Black People

@ five18p

that shit you said about hip hop is the first thing i agree with you about. this shit popping now ain't hip hop. it's more like hip pop kanye and justin timberlake doing the same music. talib is real hiphop

@ blackpeople1

homie you talking to a wall. niggas in new york been stop fucking with jigga he phoney. you know cats ot need a little more time to catch up. they think jigga a lord cause his life look set from the outside but brothers been picked up jay funny stlye. he got corperate america behind him so the public getting fooled about that fake nigga. he fell out with every nigga he was running with. and them same brothers speak ill about that man and you know how the saying go. if everybody saying the same thing about you everybody aint lying. jaz dame big nas k slay big pun fat joe jadakiss dmx dehaven tupac you call all these people liars. jigga is a funny stlye nigga

@BigSlimFL
so i read ur post...and i feel a lot of where u coming from. i feel like the decisions u make like that, stem from the examples that were laid for you and what u learn from ur environment. 1st at home and then peer groups and community. at times there is no option. in some cases, it's not about no other option at all. it is about not being made aware of the options that are available to you. and other times options are there but bypassed like u said.

i feel u on the instant gratification thing. fa sho that's a nationwide epidemic! i also feel on the rappers dry snitchin' on themselves 2. i was just having this convo about the police & Feds, etc. kids listening to their music and so they know who these rappers are. and i believe that they don't like their kids idolizing rappers so of course there is a personal investment in trying to destroy them. to villanize them. and now they on CNN talkin about it, laughing at him. crackin' jokes on his real name: Clifford Harris. i guess all this talk about being a G, don't mean shit if u don't know how to adapt when it's most crucial...

that's fucked up for T.I.



~BFG    

@ BlackPeople 1

What's going on pimpin? I was in and out today because the rumors were somewhat slow..But yea, let me know what's good on the music..

MAN IT DONT STOP, AS LONG AS WE GETTING MONEY, WE ARE LOOKED AT AS LIABILITIES. THINK FROM THE GHETTO, SURPASS SCHOLARS,DR.'S,LAWYERS, ETC. THE KEY IS TO BRING THEM ALL DOWN.       IF WE DONT GET SMART QUICKLY WE ALL GONE BE IN TROUBLE, LOOK AROUND. JENA 6, MIKE VICK,MARION JONES, O.J., LIL WAYNE, T.I., ISAIAH THOMAS, FOXY BROWN, BUSTA RHYMES, EVE, GAME. PEACE TO ALL THOSE WHO I JUST MENTIONED. I JUST DONT LIKE SEEING MY PEOPLE GOING THRU HELL.

@ fizzroy

On some real shit I agree with you on what you said about too many niggaz close to a nigga calling them out..But truth be told everybody dickriding Nas but he have them same issues and his issues have been going on for a longer period of time..Every nigga he fucked with in the beginning with the exception of AZ has called him out..To me you know a nigga ain't shit when they don't get no respect at their own crib..I said that shit a few months ago and niggaz start crying like ho'z..They was acting like I killed Cornbread or some shit..I dig both of them guys music but they not loyal at all..

@BP 1
i just read ur post, first, correction: i said u got other folks fired up today. u don't get fired up, at least not 2 much! LOL u know i co-sign your point all day, if that means anything.

i didn't actually listen the 8ball & MJG, i think i always just overlooked them. but i did see y'all talking about them. maybe i'll give 'em a chance. if i can go back and find the links.

'ppreciate u getting back at me about the expression topic. so u got an outlet thru your work 2. i feel blessed for that 2. i think people underestimate the value in that...compared to money and all the rest.

so u got me thinking again cause i think what i love about this form of expression is just what u were getting at.

my main form of expression is solitary, like with the writing. or around only so many issues, like with our groups or with the therapy appts. altho with the youngsta-only group we run, i'm getting the opportunity to kind of develop the curriculum while i'm running it.

here on AHH, i get to interact with a myriad of diverse people talking about a vast amount of personally interesting topics. that's a major difference to me.



~BFG

oh yeah...

@fizzroy
that's a trip cause i been finding myself agreeing with hella your posts today...

@ BFG

yeah man...I got friends who are lost causes where like fizzroy said it was like talkin to a brick wall. We're sittin at they house at 15 years old and they talkin about oh I'm not gonna go to school tomorrow. Fuck it. Bow Wow got famous when he was 12 and he suck. They got their mind made up that its hustlin or nothin.


I got friends now who were in the game and been out of school for 5 or 6 years talkin about I think I'm gonna go to VoTech (a vocational school) and get certified to be a mechanic. Or they wanna get their GED and go to community college. I don't know about everywhere else, but down here if you are enrolled in the public school system, you can apply to go to VoTech and the schoolboard will pay for it. All of it, 100%. Same thing with the colleges around here, with dual enrollment. When you graduate from the vocational program, they give you a graduation present. If you get certified as a barber/hair stylist, you get clippers and scissors and all that. If you leave as a mechanic you get a brand new set of tools. All for free. I got boys who graduated high school with a diploma and a certification comin out makin 50k a year. People from my high school graduated with a diploma and an associates degree. Now these dudes 5 years down the line talkin about "i needed the money what the fuck else was I gonna do?" Take ya ass to the movie theatre and get a job like everyone else at the school. Hit up McDonalds. You get paid shit, but guess what? FREE FOOD. as much as you want. all day every day. If you gotta feed the family, go cop yourself a job at a fastfood place, or a resteraunt and talk to the manager. Most managers gonna understand that if you're in school and you're really takin care of the fam like that, they'll hook you up.

As far as the rappers learnin to adapt, I think they're in a tough position, kinda. Their first CD drops and it's G shit, top to bottom. Go Platinum, get some money, move to the burbs. Cut all ties with stupid mother fuckers who aren't gonna do anything but get you in trouble. "I got money now, I'm tryin to keep it."

Like 518p said earlier today

Can't live in your house from jail.
Can't drive the whip from jail.


Now, you first CD reflected the life you said you were living, so now, you straightened up. "I got money and I wanna keep it, and enjoy it." So here you are, 2 weeks after you 2nd CD dropped and you're getting hated on. You went from "yup in my white tee" to "louie and prada, dolce & cabana." You went from "having stacks of money" to "having stocks and investments." And what do you hear? What a sellout. Fuck (said rapper). He ain't shit. He got money left, and never looked back. If it was me...call me a sell out, you don't put food on my family's plate. I got money and left? Ya damn right. Nobody grows up saying I wanna live in the hood forever. People gonna hate on you no matter what you do, so might as well keep yourself out of trouble. Let them hate on you for selling out and doing something positive ::cough cough:: MASTER P.

@ gawgabwoy

yeah nas is suspect too. him and az went through something too. both them brothers dont go back to their old hoods is it because they out grew it or because they dont got the respect of the hood. i tend to think if they go back they'll get love but they gotta but their best foot foward they grown now. their projects should be proud of them or maybe they shitted on to many people. yeah both them niggas is nice and i got alot of their music but from my angle looking in them niggas just got a funny stlye to me. they dont seem like good niggas

@ BFG

This 8ball & MJG song is my shit..although I dont like E-40...but this one got him and some other west coast cats on it then 8ball & MJG just straight rip it

http://youtube.com/watch?v=hBQeQKh2q7k

where seventh seal that nigga got me eating apricot kernels. that nigga be posting some crazy shit.

why dr. dre get a pass?  

he sold out rap before jayz even got on
& sold out worse.

jay drop plenty positive lines in his rhymes for a commercial musician.  he chasin rockafeller dollars.  least he up front with it.  its cool to call out artists for social responsibility but not like he represent hisself as a leader of the community.  dude makin heinekin ads.  what do you really expect from him?

do you jump all on shaquille o'neal for not jumpin to the front of the jena march?  why hov catch all the heat?  damn he way more on point than oprah bougie ass...

what other platinum rapper put mumia abu jamal in a song?

Oh ok boom buss it out.

Now right you know I'm out here in L.A. on my business shit, right?

So I don't really get a chance to interact with black people the way I wanna cuz the city is divided by this freeway called the 10.

and all the shit I have to take care of is well above the 10 and black people, Compton, South Central, Hawthorne, Gardena, Long Beach all that shit is well below the 10.

So last week right, I goes to see that new movie with Ice Cube and Tracy Morgan and Katt Williams.

And it's in this part of town that's just below the 10 but not far enough below the 10 to be hood.

Ay there's a new film title.

BELOW THE TEN

Like across 110th.

But anyway, this little city is where Sony Studios formerly Columbia Studios is at.

It's called Culver City.

So I'm there and I ain't been around this many black people since I left the East Coast.

So I was happy.

And I'm just out there bussin' it up. talking to people listening to conversations and shit.

Fuckin with people sittin next to me and so on.

By the way the screening was filled to the gills and ain't nuntin jump off.

Muvafuckas just laughin and havin a good time.

So this crazy thought was goin through my head as I'm listenin' and vibin' with everybody and I'm like

"Hol' up. Is L.A. country?"

I mean like are black people from L.A. country?

When people from the Northeast travel around the nation there's this thing that you pick up when you meet people.

People from the Northeast have a self-imposed pressure to be trendsetters.

So when we meet someone we size up their fashion sense. Peep thier footwear first.

See if they have good decision making skills as it applies to picking out footwear.

Be it sneakers.

Gucci loafers.

Tims or whatever.

But that shit is an art.
But it also tells a person's lifestory.

And we also check something far more shallow:
We use our instincts to try and detect if a muvafucka is concerned about his or her "cool factor". Like if a person is cognizant about being cool and in control.

Now country people don't give a fuck about none of that shit.

And when northeasters sniff that out then they are like "ohhh okay, this a country muvafucka right here."

Like a couple of those tacky hairstyles.
Bama ass prom pictures.

That shit ain't really what's up up north.

Then of course you got the drawl or the accents.

Black people from L.A. got heavy accents.

Not the ones that work out here and live above the ten.

Nine times outta ten they drop that shit and make their voice squeaky and whiny to fit in with the white people.

But lemme go back.

Music is 1/4th of my life.

I handle a lotta of other stuff.

And member last week when I was semi-riding for the kids who feel the need to grab their guns and go shooting?

Well I always find myself trying to defend middle America or anywhere but L.A. and N.Y.

Because see this is where the studios and networks are.

And here is where we feed popularity to the rest of the nation.

Now if you notice, all the shows and films always portray more or less coastal and not middle american characters.

Never "country" characters.

In fact, they make fun of county characters. They are always the heel.

Like they are backwoods rednecks or something.

So I've been going to bat for just and even portrayals.
Because I feel that coastal characters don't accurately reflect the makeup of this country.

It only reflects the viewpoint of the creators of the content because we are usually coastal people.

But in reality?

This is really a "country" nation.

It's not just L.A. and N.Y.

It's wyoming.
idaho.
montana.
missouri.
wisconsin.
and of course memphis tennesee.

Where Eightball and MJG from.

Is that right?

So I'm watching all the videos and I'm listening to some because all weren't videos.

And I started thinking about my philosphy for features and TV about how people try to ostracize the country folk when in actuality the Unites States IS country.

So I was saying to myself maybe black people are a country-ass people.

Because, the midwest, the west, the south even western PA like pittsburgh all that's considered "country".

And I refrained from commenting on the whole TI thing but the week before last, when they had lil wayne's mugshot up, I felt a lil sinking feeling in my stomach.

Cuz even tho I 'ont fuck with his entertainment product I 'ont wanna see him knocked.

I say this all the time: I'll pop shit every day all day about a down south entertainer but if I'm driving down the turnpike or 95 and the cops is whoppin on lil john's or lil wayne's ass then I'm jumpin out and we rumblin the punk police to the death.

Our squabbles about tastes in music are just that.

Squabbles.

Saturday morning backyard slapbox bouts.

But even tho I don't fuck with TI, I just don't wanna see the misfortune of one of my own.

So anyway after listening to the Eightball and MJG, I started reevaluating the market for this product.

Assuming this is a "country" nation.
And the majority of my people here probably are "country".

I don't know what to make of my reevaluation just yet.

I know one thing, it really made the core classic hip hop fans seem extremely exclusive.

Like a select few.

Of course it made me appreciate the foundation that was laid even more.

But I'm grappling with the new language I'm learnin.

That's probably the key right there.

These is my people.
And this is their langauge.

It's funny cuz it's like I'm learnin something extremely fundamental here.

So I noticed that the sound on the tracks you sent me are on some laid back either sampled or replayed curtis mayfield shit.

I bet y'all probably call that "pimp" shit, right?
I can hear it now.

Not saying I IDed any samples as Curtis Mayfield. But you know what I'm talking about as far as the tempo is concerned?

Slow and mellow.

I really appreciated that them dudes sprinkled messages throughout thier rhymes.

And they had the chopped lexus coupes.

I'll push one them right now.

But the sound was completely different.
Mad laid back.

Yo, is that the south's flavor?

I like those brothers. I can feel what they are saying, but it's not like the sound that was laid down from up north when hip hop was originated.

But the shit wasn't irritating on some why the fuck he send me this?

It just was like delving into a new genre of music.

But it made me rethink some things that I ain't quite worked out yet.

That's what I thought.

-Black People

Fizz I hear you about the the brick wall thing.

But I think I gotta keep on.

I lost my lil brother like that.
my lil cousin.
and a lil youngin in the streets that used to look up to me all cuz I was like y'all niggas is hard headed (back when I used to say niggas). I used to be like y'all a lost cause.

Now they alive but like zombies and I shoulda had more patience.

Jub, if you wasn't a "G" and we ain't have the police brutality protests in common then I wouldn't say nuntin'.

But yo, if this is still relevant tomorrow, can I answer you then?



BFG, I think people have compounded guilt about constantly listening to negative bullshit. So when I mention it, you're right, it does get them fired up.

You know how they say the truth stings.

Bigslim, I read er'rything you posted. It's pretty concise. Mad informing.

"Cept for free McDonalds's.

That shit can give you cancer, man.

Sike lemme stop frontin'. McDonalds french fries be bangin'.

It's the salt on them shits.

They could make even more of a fortune selling that shit in supermarkets. "McDonald's Salt".

You could fuck around and pay muvafuckas in that shit.
"Well they ain't really gimme no money. But they gave me a pound of McDonald's salt."

yo, I was the first on to ever dip a mcdonald's fry in a strawberry milkshake.

These were the times when niggaz was killing the Karl Kani and the different color Deion Sanders..Either them or the Jordans or Barkley's..I'm out folks but I hope y'all enjoyed them videos..

@Blackpeople 1

Eightball & MJG are legends in the south.  Memphis is a city where the young people grew up on Al Green, Curtis Mayfield, Willie Hutch, Issac Hayes, Johny Taylor, Bobby Womack, etc.  We call it "dat pimpin mane"

I'll put it like this..It's a reason why certain rappers stood out in the South like UGK, Eightball and MJG, and Outkast..When all of those groups first dropped down they brought a different flavor to what we were brought up hearing from our southern artist..Everything before them was booty shake, bounce or some form of dance music..The groups I mentioned music was appealing because most of us grew up off of the tracks they sampled through our parents. Factor that in with the way they painted the picture of what was going on in the streets and that was an instant classic down south..You had other guys that did it but not in the same way..The formulas they used when they dropped brought on movements down here..We looked forward to them niggaz albums like everybody do 50 now..I forgot about the Geto Boyz but UGK and Ball and G did it with no marketing and just off the strength of their talent at the time..They were going gold just off word of mouth..

BlackPeople 1 that was some powerfull knowledge you dropped on em there i hope they can actually read and learn i dont agree 100% but you hittin that nail. peace

****This was posted on Sandrarose.com..... If its tru Its kinda fucced up the waythe fed went into the house shit they already had TIP in custody and they knew kids were there



A source close to Tameka "Tiny" Cottle has confirmed that Tiny is pregnant again with T.I.'s baby. The sex of the baby is unknown. The baby would be the couple's second child together. Tiny delivered a stillborn baby girl this past March and the couple were determined to have another baby.

Meanwhile, T.I., real name Clifford Harris, was denied bond in a federal magistrate court today. In attendance at the proceedings were Tiny, two of T.I.'s other baby mamas and all of T.I.'s children except for King who remained at home. Tiny, who was arrested on marijuana and Ecstasy possession on Saturday, took King to visit his father in jail yesterday. I'm told the first thing T.I.P. did was apologize to Tiny.

My source informed me that King is still traumatized from the raid which took place at T.I.'s home in College Park on Saturday. ATF agents simultaneously broke down the front door while smashing out windows in the back of the house and tossing stun grenades into the house. King, 3, was in a downstairs room playing at the time of the raid. The other children had just left the home to go to acting class. I'm told T.I.'s 15-year-old nephew ran out the back door and was tackled and stomped by ATF agents.

While agents found T.I.'s gun collection in his bedroom safe, no drugs were found in the home. Many have questioned why T.I. had such an arsenal in the first place. The answer is simple: boys love guns. My brother, Ray, has been an avid gun collector since his teens so I have no problem believing that. My brother obtained his license to carry a concealed weapon at the age of 18. He quickly amassed a collection of guns much larger than T.I.'s collection. Today, my brother, who never attended college, owns a GNC store in Dunnedin, Florida (a suburb of Tampa). My brother has never shot anyone.

It's easy to question why T.I. was buying machine guns and silencers, but what gun collector (my brother included) doesn't own a machine gun? It doesn't mean they intend to start a war. I imagine it would be difficult for a boy like T.I. to turn down the chance to own a machine gun. It doesn't make him a bad person.

Family friends state the bodyguard, whose initials are C.W., had a license to purchase certain weapons legally and offered to purchase guns for T.I. from the moment he started working for T.I. in July. That should have been a red flag. The family source said T.I. is not doing well in federal custody. "This is very hard on T.I.P.," said the source.

@ TWON THE DON

Yea, that's when hip hop wasn't all positive but most of the music was a true depiction of what was going on and niggaz was on some real shit. But yea, this new shit is watered down and the industry is full of wannabes and shit..Most of these new niggaz ain't been off the porch but want to talk about all this street shit..You could tell them old catz was in the mix of shit and  was talking about the things they been through...That Big Mike "Playa Playa" was told in a way that even the squarest of niggaz could've understood it..He might not've liked it because he was probably that other dude but he had to respect it..Yea, I use to dig Mac Mall when he first came out too..It was a video he had out in which he got shot..I think that's when I first started checking for him..The West had shit on lock then..

What up peoples.

Lot of intelligent dialogue going on in here.  Had to get on one of my true knowledge/ student mentality moments.  Fell back, read, and learned.

Couple things stood out to:

Black People 1's tear on the Seans.  I found it interesting that nobody came to the aid of Puff (rightfully so).  Wow Puff, you really dug a whole in the community.

Gawga's rep for the south.  The south should be proud.  Heres a guy that can support south music and break things down in a fashion that east and west coast guys can understand.  And not just hope that by repeatedly saying "Quit Hatin the Souf" that hopefully somebody will listen.

Speakin of, Im going to South Carolina the end of the week.  Lil sis just had a baby down there.  Miss my peeps.  Im where north and south collides (move over weezy and juelz).  Philly/SC connection, gotta respect it.

...where'd i leave off...oh yea

BigSlimfl, I cant remember if you mentions you were white or not.  I think you did.  Its neither here nor there, but sometimes I relate to you, and Im like this dude be saying some real shit.  I like when you step out of the "Im just here to talk about sports" mode, because when you do chime in, you spit some real shit.  Just wanted to let you know, i see you homie.

What up BFG, thanks for the sentiments the other day.  I let homie get to me a little bit.  I just recently rewatched BAMBOOZLED by Spike Lee.  Much watch by everybody.   So fukkin deep.  Spike the man, hands down.  But I been on my shit lately, kind of like the feeling you get after you watch roots.  I aint takin no shit right now.  First time Im watched bamboozled I was like 16 or 17, a friend suggested i rewatch it because, in my new state of consciousness I would pick up even more from it.  He was right...

I think P Diddy is like that Pierre De La Qwa guy from the movie.  Shit I think a lot of dudes out here is like him.  That shit was just deep.  A must see people!

I see Twon Da Don in here too.  I fukks wit u.  We aint always in agreement with things, but I think we got a mutual respect.

Shout out to 518, Friend or Foe, and Jub Shine too.  I pick up a few things from yall like daily.

by the way,

just grabbed this like best of Jada mixtape.  And got some Best of Nas shit too.  Those gone bump in the car for a minute.  When I get down to SC though before I know it that flavor gone kick back in.  Fux around and be talking country, I caught myself the other day talkin to my sis.  Its in the veins baby!


Im crushed by this TI thing. Somebody dropped some lyrics up there earlier, that was deep.  I know he was wrong, but its still fukked up.  Cant believe TIP got caught slippin by the feds.  He a smart dude, now he gone be a sacrificial lamb in this "message to hip hop and their constituents" by the FEDS.

2007 was a good and bad year for hip hop.  Not only did all the clowns drop albums, but damn i got to admit.  We got some bangers this year, and some to come...



-HP

Guess Hip Hop aint Dead.  Its just going through an identity crisis.  I'll probably comment on the Jay Z issue and the Nas new nigga album later.

@ seventh seal

yeah memphis always did it big i got the whole issac hayes catalog. but the greatest artist period hip hop r&b rock or any other music you wanna name is curtis mayfield he from chicago check just his soundtrack's superfly claudine sparkle shorteyes lets do it again curtis music was serious.


friend or foe

so what they on talib album what you trying say talib album aint hip hop. just cause i said kanye and jt doing hip pop it dont mean iam saying they dont got talent. i aint like other people on here trying to deny a mans talent. shit i like some of kanye songs its just he aint the type of brother i relate to.

I got a feeling Hov might do aight with this next album...Good to read about celebrities doing something good 4 a change...Although I would have liked if 50 gave that money to a school that really needs it, bring that money to the hood...Last but not least, T.I. is F**KED and this only proves that the "Hip Hop Police" is REAL...Ni**as need to wake up, they waiting for  ya'll to f**k up...and you dumb ni**as keep falling into the trap *SMH*.

Jay-Z isn't the greatest emcee ever, but he has some good shit. Some of you guys hating Jay-Z... ehh whatever man. You're entitled to your opinion, but stop acting like he never put out any good music, none of it has meaning. Kingdom Come was hot and it was sophisticated, and it flew over a lot of heads. He was really breakin shit down on some of that album. Plus Blueprint has some deep shit, even The Dynasty Roc La Familia album. Black album had some substance too. I'm not gonna write a fucking 500 word essay on here, but check the catalogue man. Jay-Z has dropped some substantial shit and is definitely one of the greatest rappers of all time, and he should be in the top 20 list of anyone's greatest emcees, I feel. Damn. You make it seem like Jay-Z is just as bad as Yung Joc or Diddy or some shit. Take it easy.
