Cam’ron’s Killa Season - The Worst Movie Ever?

First, I found it hilarious that Cam’ron tried to confuse his fans by packaging his upcoming Killa Season album with a certain bonus DVD, which leaves folks wondering if that bonus DVD is actually the “Killa Season” movie.

Now onto the movie, I haven’t seen it yet, but judging by the ongoing feud between what I presume to be Cam himself and Jay-Z fans over the “Killa Season” movie, I think I’d much rather get a foot massage.

Those who’ve seen “Killa Season” have showered it with all the adulation the stratosphere could muster, words like: “…an apparently improvised anti-plot that manages to further every dumbshit stereotype about rap music imaginable without much cleverness, Killa Season was generally disappointing.”(PitchFork) and “very low key and unprofessional” (CKLHH).

More Cam’ron

50 Cent In Bizarro Land

Ever wonder what 50 Cent does when he travels the world? Well, don’t be fooled by 50’s boast about people showing him infinite love overseas. I mean dude basically ran away after getting punked in Nigeria. Hell, even U.S. fans damn near chased Fiddy off the stage by tossing water bottles at him. And, here’s a clip of some drag queen hitting on 50, as Curtis gets into an argument with the show host afterwards.

Few bloggers have dismissed this as a gimmick, but isn’t that always the case with anything that’s out of the box? What I’ve heard so far(7 tracks) is sweet. I would’ve posted some snippets but I’m too lazy + I’ve got interviews to transcribe.
By the way, is anyone else anticipating this? Comments…

"Laffy Taffy = Bulls**t" - Ghostface

I knew it. Ghost didn’t make that “Laffy Taffy” reference on “The Champ” for nothing. Here’s a clip of Tony Starks making mince meat of D4L, who absolutely deserve to be made a mince meat out of.

"Snitch" Video - Obie Trice ft Akon

Could someone please explain this sh*t to me: How’s Akon able to yell “convict” and stamp that slamming cell sound at the beginning of every track he produces for other artists?
Dude from Coach Carter plays Sammie the Bull in the video. Didn’t he get arrested for jaywalking awhile ago?

Soundbites: Mobb Deep + Blood Money Tracklist

All eyez are on Mobb Deep right now. Needless to say, Blood Money will make or mar the next generation of G-Uniters. Fingers crossed.

Give It To Me ft. Young Buck
Another joint featuring a 50 Cent-patented chorus? I don’t think this would sit well with Mobb’s core fans. Then again, G-Unit and Mobb Deep fans are probably the same people.

Blood Money Tracklist

1. Smoke It
2. Put ‘Em In Their Place
3. Stole Something (Feat. Lloyd Banks)
4. Creep (Feat. 50 Cent)
5. Speakin So Freely
6. Backstage Pass
7. Give It To Me (Feat. Young Buck)
8. Click Click (Feat. Tony Yayo)
9. Pearly Gates (Feat. 50 Cent)
10. Capital P, Capital H
11. Daydreamin’
12. The Infamous (Feat. 50 Cent)
13. In Love With The Moula
14. It’s Alright (Feat. 50 Cent & Mary J. Blige)
15. Have A Party (Feat. 50 Cent & Nate Dogg)
16. Outta Control (Remix) (Feat. 50 Cent)

Dave Chappelle Season 3: The Show Goes On

Dave Chappelle Show without Dave Chappelle?

Call me crazy, but I think this is straight up neo-colonialism disguised as…never mind. Apparently, Dave signed a contract of some sort that’s still binding.

Watch the episode where Dave considers leaving the show, featuring Big Boi and Nick Cannon.
