20 Questions (February 2009)

So I'm a little early with the 20 questions, seeing as how it's January 11 and this is the February issue.

Sue me.

I'm a little excited about this issue however. My favorite artist (f*ck rapper or producer, despite what the cover says) is featured, Kanye West! I sound madd excited by I'm not... my heart was broken... 4 or 5 hours before I posted this blog, and I related to 808s & Heartbreak way more than I did 6 or 7 hours before. More on that later.

But I digress... 20 Questions! I think they're pretty lame btw, but hopefully I won't be as bad.

1. How many people have already broken their New Year's resolution?
Ha! You have to had MADE a New Year's resolution to break it!

2. Did T-Pain really call someone a copycat?
Yep. And I think he meant it.

3. If Chris Brown and Rihanna's matching tatts don't make things official, what will?
He calms his cheating *ss down and actually stay faithful. But you didn't hear that from me.

4. Plaxico Burress: When keeping it real goes wrong?
I'm gonna be real: If the Giants don't WIN the Super Bowl, I'll shoot him.

5. Aren't you secretly hoping the Obamas pick a Rottweiler as their White House dog?
As much as I had hoped Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson would pray at Barack's Inauguration.

6. Why do we keep hearing that all of Jodeci is getting back together?
Yall keep listening for some reason. A better question is, why do you care?

7. What happened to Christina Milian's singing career?
Same thing that happened to her acting career.

8. Isn't Ripley's portrait of Eminem (made from M&M's) brilliant?
Eminem portait of M&M's, fitting and delicious.

9. When did Law & Order and CSI turn into resume builders for rappers- turned- actors?
Somewhere between Ice-T and Ludacris.

10. Are you sipping NUVO yet?
No, that sounds dirty, like Nuva Ring.

11. Can rappers please, please, please, (pretty) please stop creating clothing lines? (No, not Clipse, too!)
Yeah this is pitiful. It's not even like it's high scale like Pharrell's Billionaire Boy's Club or urban chic like Sean John and Rocawear, it's Wal-Mart brands like Master P's crap.

12. Are people done pretending Beyonce's new album is better than Solange's?
Are we going to start pretending that it actually matters if Solange's was better?

13. After Dedication 3, is Lil Wayne the "Best Skitmaker Alive," too?
Don't go there. I don't care if you got navigation don't go THERE! I love a b*tch with glasses too, Weezy!

14. Shouldn't 50 collect and endorsement check for suing Taco Bell?
After losing those few million dollars to the recession, he can use the money.

15. Don't you wish more artists were like Kanye and pushed their album release dates up instead of back?
I wish more artists were like Kanye and put out good music.

16. And who do we have to holler at to cop a pair of Air Yeezy's?
I thought you didn't care for any rapper's clothing line... hypocrite!

17. Won't it be cool to see The Roots as the house band for Jimmy Fallon's late-night show?
Who the f*ck is Jammy Fallon?

18. Is Black History Month still relevant?
Why do we need the shortest month in the year when we have the highest office in the land now? BI-YOTCH!

19. Why doesn't Carmelo Anthony talk to Allen Iverson about those tired braids?
If he doesn't get it by now, he just ain't gettin it.

20. Shouldn't Jim Jones and Juelz Santana be pouring champagne on the girls in the "Pop Champagne" video instead on each other?
In the words of Dipset, "No homo."

20 Answers (January 2009)

I read Vibe Magazine... Surprise! Seriously, I consider Vibe a genuine journalistic approach to hip-hop. XXL has a bunch of interviews, with all the ignorant things rappers say preserved (and they are on 50's jock way too often). The Source looks like a friggin tabloid now and it's impossible to take serious... er, read. I don't consider Ozone a legitimate piece of reading material (and your awards suck too!). Lastly, KING is good for one thing (and tissue for the clean up).

On the last page of Vibe, they have 20 Questions, in which they ponder some issues that had occured during the time of the issue. Some of the questions are funny as hell, but not as funny as some answers that people have given in the past. I figured I'd take a crack at them every time an issue comes out.

1. Who is Lil Wayne's new baby mama?
Someone with a coke habit or really bad eyesight. Or both.

2. Rich Boy, where's your album?
On the shelf, Interscope can't afford buying a million copies of his next brick.

3. Why do Diddy's Making The Band finales always end on a bad note?
Because it's Bad Boy? Or because you can't apply autotune to a tv show like Diddy uses it on his records.

4. Do you really need a Nelly/Akon/T-Pain/Pharrell supergroup in your life?
Only if the cd comes with a complimentary dose of Ritalin to get through it.

5. Can you call a tour No Limit Reunion without Master P, Silkk The Shocker, and Mystikal?
There is no limit to the amount of jokes that travesty would be.

6. Shouldn't Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears stop acting like they don't want to collaborate?
They should get over the whole "Cry Me A River" issue and take it back to the Mickey Mouse club!

7. Are Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union officially an item?
Not if Wade knows what's good for him. I'll end your career!

8. After admitting he was a correctional officer, doesn't Rick Ross look silly boasting about "gettin rich" off cocaine?
He lied about making an honest living. Hm. It's deeper than a rap...

9. When D'Angelo makes his inevitable comback, are all Maxwell's fawning fans going to turn on him?
I'm sorry, but I really couldn't give two sh*ts about either one of these dudes. I thought D'Angelo was fat and in jail anyway.

10. Did the cost of the A-Rod/Kobe/Tony Hawk/Michael Phelps commercial for Guitar Hero World Tour kill the profits from the game?
Most likely, but it's still an almost uber-cool commercial (get rid of Kobe, the camera hog lol).

11. Wouldn't Soulja Boy AKA Sambo Boy make a killing as a full-time choreographer?
He'd make even more as a full-time minstrel.

12. Do you believe Ne-Yo lost his virginity at age 9?
Yes, and I'm sure he was a lucky dude... lol...

13. Do you believe in Santa Claus, too?
YEAH, and that b*tch *ss n*gga is gonna pay what he owe! All I wanted was some rims, not even the whole car!

14. Wasn't it a really good idea for Diddy to buy Enyce?
No, it was a really Bad one... duh.

15. Memo to Webbie, Lil Boosie, and Lyfe Jennings: Didn't you learn anything from the O.J. Simpson chase? (Hint: The police can drive fast, too!)
And they always get their man. See you in 9 years, O!

16. Doesn't Gravy sound more like Shyne doing B.I.G. than B.I.G. doing B.I.G. in Notorious?
At least B.I.G. and Tupac are dead, may they rest in peace. How do the living people feel about being imitated in this movie?

17. Don't you feel bad for making all those Isiah Thomas jokes now?
Nope. Throwing his own daughter under the bus... SMH. He need to take his *ss to bed again.

18. How long before MTV turns Hoodfab into a real game show?
Barack needs to order a hit on whichever producer is bold enough to try that bs.

19. Are guys out there still sour over Beyonce's "If I Were A Boy?"
Nah, I'm good. In fact, I'm more upset with R. Kelly's response... making us look even worse. Piss off!

20. Yung Berg: Huh?!?!
That boy been slapped so many times this year and still doesn't have any common sense.

50 Cent Vs. Lil Wayne... Finally

Louisianimal ft. Lil Boosie - Lil Wayne

It has finally started, 50 Cent has to put a record out... I mean, the beef between he and Lil Wayne has ignited. Yay, another war between Black men with money, because they didn't like what each other said about them. While I believe this beef started looong ago (read below), people believe that Fiddy took the first shot when he called Weezy a "whore" for appearing on everyone's records and questioned his sexuality for kissing Baby in that picture years ago.

Those are fighting words for sure.

"The Best Rapper Alive" (smh) didn't want no parts of beef with the G-Unit General. At first he took the whore insult as a compliment, stating that he likes being a whore because it is a man that sleeps with everyone. He would have been more insulted if he was called a ho because they can be taken advantage of. Really? Now I paraphrased that, so I'm sure the actual quote is so much more ignorant.

Later he admitted he just didn't want beef with 50 Cent. It was okay, that gorilla is a career killer. However, the beatdown "Curtis" received at the hands of "Graduation," the loss of Young Buck and the platinum-in-a-week Carter III might have changed the tides.

In any case, " Louisianimal " began making rounds on the internet, as well as appearing on "The Drought is Over Pt. 6" mixtape. In it, Lil Wayne proclaims defiantly, "All about a dolla, f*ck two quarters/B*tch I'll pour syrup in that Vitamin Water/I hope you die ugly, and tonight will be gorgeous."

Although message boards and blogs have claimed the track was old and leaked, 50 did not retaliate, but is now addressing the matter in an interview. "It doesn’t matter if it’s old or not. Now I know how you feel,” said 50. "I'll leave it like it is right now and wait till I'm comfortable and then I’ll do what I do. Think about it, no one from his camp said it was a leak. We could assume it was leak but he's a celebrity. If it was a leak, he would come out and say something."

I’m really not surprised by this. 50 came at Ja Rule and Murder Inc. for “Get Rich or Die Tryin’.” He came at Fat Joe, Jadakiss and NaS for The Massacre. The previously mentioned “Curtissssss” was marketed against Kanye West. Obviously Lil Wayne is his next ploy for “Before I Self Destruct.” HELL, “Power of the Dollar,” his first mixtape, featured “How To Rob,” which came at all the rappers around in 2002. It was Jay-Z’s response to that single that put this nuisance on.

Dammit Hov.

I have to sound off on this one. What actually annoys me is his response on the state of hip-hop, "I wanna bring hip hop back to where you can actually rap and sell records… The format now is to go get T-Pain or go get someone who consistently has radio airplay and hope it translate into sales for you," 50 continued. "Think about it, which average rap artist has a record out and it’s just them. You gotta respect Kanye for that; he's the only one who made his own record. He made an R&B record but it was still his own record."

This man is talking about music for the sake of sales? The entire premise of his career is based on how much he has sold and not how much he has influenced. Hip-hop is true to the art form and the message (however diluted from the artist’s real life). This man still does not understand that Jay-Z will always be more important to hip-hop AND New York City no matter how many albums he sells worldwide or how big his share of Vitamin Water is.

Also, 50 Cent is one of the main reasons that guys are collaborating with R&B artists. Actually… Ja Rule is the biggest… but ole Fiddy made it cool again. Hello? “21 Questions ft. Nate Dogg,” “Candy Shop ft. Olivia,” “Best Friend ft. Olivia,” “Ayo Technology ft. Timbaland and Justin Timberlake,” “Follow My Lead ft. Robin Thicke.” Those are just his: forget the sob stories by out G-Unit members and the R&B singles he’s featured on.

Asked if he would be experimenting on “Before I Self Destruct” like Kanye West did on “808's & Heartbreak,” 50 replied: "It's an experiment because it's me seeing whether I can go back to the original format and bring the art form back. I’m sure next year my camp is gonna be influencing a lot because they are gonna see all three of us come out next year. Me, Em and Dre."

I hope he self destructs before the album comes out. Or at least bricks afterward.

I Do It For Hip-Hop...

So I guess this post will start up my hip-hop delivery. I don't freestyle. If anything I'm like Dame Dash, who talks mad sh*t at the beginning of the cd or for a chorus or something. I'll just post mixtapes and singles that are hot fiyah. I don't know too much about actual albums... not trying to get sued.

Three mixtapes that are the business.
