“Your live show was hollow
You shoulda kept it local
Rapping over vocals
Sounding soft as Jojo
With 12 monkeys on stage it’s hard to see who’s a gorilla
You was better as a drug dealer
Feel the passion of this b-boy rationale…
Guess it’s time for you to stop cashing out
It’s overflown, tell your guys to put the glasses down”

I’m just saying…

One man. Two covers.

You’d think that enthusiastic media coverage and celebrity status would help Obama race past anybody named Clinton in the so-called polls. Too bad, voters are actually more interested in putting Bill Clinton in the first lady’s skirt than putting Obama in the White House.

The credit should read Sean Paul feat. Eve, not the other way around. How does the pitbull-in-a-skirt get devoured on her own joint?

Look who’s dropping an album a day before my birthday. 9th Wonder’s Dream Merchant 2 is slated for release on October 9th, 2007. All the usual suspects, as well as some surprise guests, are on board for the project. Tracklist after the jump:

According to MTV, that is.

I stopped reading at No.10, but here’s a rundown of the list:

10. Jim Jones
9. Common
8. 50 Cent
7. Jay-Z
6. Young Jeezy
5. Kanye West
4. Andre 3000
3. The Game
2. T.I.
1. Lil Wayne

Pimp C had the internet going nuts the other day when he bodied Atlanta in the August issue of Ozone. ATL’s 107.9 reached out to the Pimp to find out why he’s so mad. The interview is long and Pimp C is screaming on top of his lungs, so I’ll sum it up for you:

-His statements are right but you may have heard it wrong
-Atlanta is not part of the south
-Atlanta is the gay capital of the US
-Pimp C is a man
-Pimp C is speaking on behalf of Pimp C, not UGK
-Crunk rappers should mail lifetime royalty checks to Three Six Mafia

And all this is coming from the guy who just worked with OutKast on “Int’l Players Anthem,” labeled Young Jeezy “one of the realest n***as,” and dubbed T.I. “King of the South.”

I have to agree with the Pimp on one thing though: I flew to ATL for the last BET Hip-Hop Awards and had to adjust my watch to eastern daylight time.

Cham got 99 problems but Bob O’Wildy ain’t one.

In the 9-minute 2-part clip, Koopa plays three different characters: Hal Sharpless (hip-hop cop), Bob O’Wildy (news anchor), and Cashus Burns (reporter). Slick Rick will be in on the fun, playing Detective Jeffrey Jackson. They dropped plenty of clues with all those names, but I’m not too sure about Cashus Burns.

One thing, “When did BET start playing music videos again?”
