Growing up truly must be a beautiful thing. Some of these rappers are finally starting to smile for some reason. Nas is finally crawling out of his shell and attending award shows. Snoop is no longer running off throgh the backstage to avoid po-po. Great call on Harry Bellafonte, it’s about damn time. And you say black leadership is currently in extinction?

Start saving for this sh*t…those Onion Booty DVDs can wait…
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I don’t need a review to tell me that he murdered it. But, damn, this good synopsis of the whole thing made me change my mind.
Ludacris – War with God (T.I. diss)
Well, I’m not sure whether to call ‘beef’ or ‘battle’ on this one. But, this is what I like to hear from Luda. The man has some enormous potential that never translates into a solid album. T.I. may have all the industry clout and sales right now, but, when it comes down to the basics (I aint talking about shooting and stabbing either), Luda has the upper hand.
Listen to the track and let me know if you think this is strong enough to ‘ether’ the self-proclaimed King.
“I’m universal Luda never limits hisself to the South”
-If the year was ‘98, this Ice Cube impersonation of Suge Knight would still be laughable.
-That said, I think The Source is making giant strides towards recovery path despite all the negative criticism.
-Still, last I checked, Scratch was still running this mag sh*t.
-The sad part is, with all the hullabaloo surrounding Cube’s plausible comeback, only JET– yeah, that Ebony supplemental that’s sold separately–opted to show him some cover love.
-On the other hand, Busta Rhymes’ rebound clinched him cover spots on all three major hip-hop publications at the drop of a hat.
-Yet, people are running around applauding Busta for selling 216,000 on Interscope?
-You ever wonder if those numbers actually signal a flop in commensuration with the hype and promotion; the BET Rap city hosting opportunities, the plethora of radio sit-ins, that questionable Flipmode News coverage that had Youtubers going nuts, the 291 “Touch It” remixes, not to mention the death of Busta’s bodyguard…?
-Something is seriously wrong with this picture.
