The Game – “I’m So Wavy (Jay-Z Diss)”

The Game is like a nagging ex-girlfriend. He just doesn’t know when to quit. Ignoring him doesn’t work either.

To echo Dre’s sentiment, Game needs to incorporate mood stabilizers in his diet. He needs a new psychologist more than he needs a new producer.

Finally, I hope Jay violates his policy of not responding to girls and puts JT in his place once and for all.

Hit the download button to hear Deck swinging at Joe Budden on behalf of Method Man. OK, we need to establish some ground rules here. No disses from the other clansmen. Let’s how Budden fares going toe to toe with Method Man. Till then, I’m hitting the snooze button on this one.

Here’s an alleged song from Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3. Jay freestyles, takes a jab at Dame, freestyles some more, then lunges into a performance of “Money Ain’t a Thang.”

Copywrite can rap circles around Asher Roth while duct-taped, blind-folded and shackled. But the only thing more annoying than their little beef is this fish-eye lens garbage.

They’re both ladies, but that’s where the similarity between Lady Sov and Lady GaGa ends. One’s a pint-sized rapper with a penchant for alcohol; the other is a fugly mini-Madonna who occasionally works with rappers.

So, imagine Sov’s disgust when Rhyme & Reason magazine asked her about Lady CaCa:

R & R: If you woke up tomorrow morning as Lady GaGa instead of Lady Sovereign, what would be your first move?

Lady Sov: Shoot myself! Or stitch my lips together!

Dear hip-hop fans, your prayers have been answered. Eminem’s Relapse leaks, it is generally regarded as a great reason to reitre, then he gets a new reason to care. Enter Nick Cannon.

People probably don’t realize what it’s like to be a tortured genius like Marshall Mathers. Most people probably didn’t notice the trend that exists in his music or the correlation between his personal life and the frequency and quality of his music. But think back to how mommy issues, budding relationship with Dre, personal financial trouble, marital instability, raising a daughter, losing a friend, dealing with drug addiction, and taking on Benzino/The Source acted as catalysts for some of the greatest music of our time. Now think about what is happening in his life now: 50 showcased his beautiful studio in Detroit last week, he has solidified his position in the game and on his label, he kicked his drug habit (kinda), mom is not really an issue, and he has enough money to deal with whatever else might occur. What better time to release a really terrible album?

So he returns to his tactics from Infinite and the Slim Shady LP which include name-calling and fire-starting. Well, whoever said opportunity seldom knocks twice, is not familiar with the Shadiest One. He thrives on beasting lesser MC”s; he really just eats this stuff up, and Nick Cannon is starting to look like dinner. What Mr. Mariah Carey does not understand is that any response that he comes up with is only going to flip the switch and activate the brain of the most talented battle rapper to not hail from New York. Nick’s blog featured a few shots, but it looks like he still needs a little encouragement:

I analyzed the situation from a logical perspective. Am I going to battle Eminem and try to out rap him? No, that would be stupid. The dude is nice on the mic. Even though nowadays he lacks substance, rapping about when he used to be hot. Like when Al Bundy gloats about his High school football prime.

Dear Nick, Please listen to the little man on your left shoulder! I miss Eminem.

If you had any remaining doubts that Officer Rawse is the biggest fraud we’ve seen thus far, put that silliness away right now. Rawse claims that after driving the final nail in the coffin of 50 Cent’s career, the logical next step is to pick a fight with Eminem.

Peep the f_ckery:

“I mean, I’m a fan of Eminem,” he said. “I’m a fan first and foremost. But after defeating Curly, my confidence is at an all-time high. Maybe before I wouldn’t have challenged him, but I’m contemplating it now. The game is commending me for my victory. That’s all I wanted to do was … punish the opposition. I think I’ve done a great job and I’m gonna continue to do that.”

Oh, and this clown is also hoping Em will give him a spot on Relapse?

“I’m trying to be a part of that [Relapse],” Ross said. “It’s either way. We gonna see each other one way or another.”

I can see it now: “Rick Ross Kills Eminem in One Verse” [MTV]

Don’t look now, but Wale finally fired back at Sonic the Hedgehog. Apparently, 20 million years ago, Sonic said something greasy on a song called “Windows Media Player.” After we posted the song, Sonic logged on to this very site and added his own opinion in the comment section, but I digress.

Anyhoo, there was this one rhyme in that “Windows Media Player” song which caused beef connoisseurs to pause and go, “Hmmm…” The alleged diss goes like this: “Seen in your favorite magazine with a great pose. Cause I don’t pose, cause I hate pose-urs. Except for one photoshoot. For Complex, what the heck was I supposed to do? I had fun, acted mad young. I was flyer than the rest of ‘em, why am I addressing ‘em?“

As it turns out, the line “Flier than the rest of ‘em” was already associated with Wale who used it on his song “Nike Boots.” It is unfailingly a diss to this Wale fella. Cue OUTRAGE!

Oh, and this:

“I’m not his n*gga. And? He didn’t diss me… besides, I think this is the show he was telling me about… or was it the show where in a freestyle he said “F*ck Charles Hamilton?” I don’t know/care. if its an issue, I’m sure as vocal as Wale is, we’ll hear about it. I mean, other rappers did entire interviews thoroughly explaining their issue with me. Then again, they got ignored, too. Damn. When I go fishing for a shark, I end up with tadpoles at the end of my fishing rod. Shucks… oh well… Until the next time I speak to Wale, this gets filed under ‘TheShruggingShoulders’ ” — Charles Hamilton

And then they both got dropped from Interscope for drawing too much attention to their respective albums. THE END. [Rap Basement]
