I didnt know lil wayne sang too


Has anybody else heard this song called Prostitute before? Well I haven't and frankly I dont see anything right or wrong with it. It just sounds like some shit that happened in th studio. I mean i dont think wayne will be a serious singer anytime soon nor is he pondering it but i do think that his easter pink sprite and downtime in the studio or  nothing to record that day or just fucking around having fun spawned this.

Or maybe we should be lookin out for Lil Wayne Newton the LP?

Lets pick apart Kanye's Graduation tracklist




First off you cant believe everything you read on the internet, especially wikipedia. Shit i could go change this tracklist if i wanted and for the record it looked different on saturday night. It didnt have the Eddie Murphy remake for one (at least not that i remember) but then again I was also very drunk when i looked at this the first time. Now on to the business

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graduation_%28album%29#Confirmed_Tracks

"Can't Tell Me Nothing" (Produced by Kanye West, co-produced by DJ Toomp)
- This is true and you all have been hating on this one since the snippet. Which brings me to mention the nigga had yall talking about a snippet, even the haters you were hating on a snippet. Think about that one right there for a second....

"Stronger" Contains a sample of "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" by Daft Punk
- You can find this song on youtube. I saw it there like 2 weeks ago when he debuted it at some DJ Atrack performance. This song exists.

"Homecoming"
(featuring Chris Martin)
- I heard about this song a while ago, well i heard that they were collaborating so I'm willing to wager this is real.

"Fly Like a Swan"
(featuring Bjork)
- This could be real, I mean after all Timberland did her first single so she aint above fucking with rap. I could see ye doin this tho, especially if he samplin Daft Punk on this album.Then again those pesky editors could have did this to be funny. Think about it, remember Bjork's red carpet swandress fauxpax? Yeah. I mean do swan's even fly? Or is this a pun on the fact that her dress was not fly at all, and if its the latter you really think she would be party to that? Who knows, who knows...

"The Glory"

- Dont know anything about this song, maybe its got Morgan Freeman on it. Guffaw...

"Purple Hearts"
(featuring Joe Smith)
- Maybe im just in the dark but who is Joe Smith? I tried google searching him and got this picture so i stopped, immediately.

"
Bittersweet"
(featuring John Mayer & Jessica Simpson)
- Ye is good for recycling older demos. He did it with Hey Mama on Late Registration and he did it with a gang of verses on College Dropout (the whole miracles whips line/verse is on like 3 different songs that didnt make the lp) i think the dude just is a perfectionist and dont wanna waste material but thats just me. I have heard this song, just not with Jessica Simpson on it and again i dont think having her sing on a song is that far fetched for him. Based on the version of the song that I heard she is gonna have to save the song and I dont think she is capable of doing that. Her name looks like shock value but she aint that bad of a singer tho for real.

"Can't Keep Me Winnin"
(featuring Ludacris, Jay-Z, & Dr. Dre)
- Looks good on paper, no real reason why it couldnt happen since he has worked with everyone but Dre but again this almost looks too high powered to be true. Then again Black Republican was mythical before we heard it. But is it just me or does Jay-Z's name not evoke the OH SHIT SON JIGGA GONNA BE ON IT fervor that it did since Kingdom Come dropped? Even his little pop up here and there post black album verses were kinda exciting, kinda.

"My Girl Wants To"
(featuring Eddie Murphy) Contains a sample of "Party All the Time" by Eddie Murphy
- This song is not real, can't be. I refuse to believe it is for personal reasons and if it is on the LP i would like my crow fried like chicken.

"Unknown"
(featuring T-Pain)
- Don't know if this is real but im sayin, T-Pain maybe be a love sick drunkard simp but that nigga knows how to make a jam. Buy you a drank is the new summer anthem and rightfully so. Maybe Kanye will rap thru the (vo)'coder, yeah maybe its like thru the wire part 2 but instead of chaka kahn its got t pain doin the hooks.. Im kidding but he has enough personality and sense of humor to pull that shit off if he chose to. Guess we'll just have to wait and see if this is real.

"Summer of Hip Hop"
(Produced by Just Blaze) Contains a sample of "Somebody, Somewhere, in Summertime" by Simple Minds
- No complaints or criticisms here, just baited breath. Blaze always delivers

"Dispose of You"

- No idea if this is real or fake but hey its a nice title.

"On the Cover of Vogue"
Contains a sample of "Vogue" by Madonna
- PLEASE LET THIS BE FAKE!! My guess is that Beanie Sigel went to the wiki and added this title on some "ye wears driving shoes, naah naah nah naaaaaaaah naaaaaaaaaah" shit. (did yall see Beans attack Ye and Rell on that youtube clip? jewelryman take it away!) This cant be real. Again if I'm wront 2 piece crow and a biscuit.

"Real Life Changes Everything"
(featuring Consequence & Q-Tip) (Produced by Pete Rock)
- This looks real. And based on the title and guest appearances looks like it would be pretty interesting. I mean they all got something to say about real life changing everything.

"Two Places"
(featuring Nas & Ghostface)
- Again, nothing to say about this one. If its real im just waiting to hear it.

"Invincible"
Contains a sample of "Kid Charlemagne" by Steely Dan
- Probably real.

I am a excited for the album. We dont get many event albums anymore at all because HipHop's heroes are being replaced by disposable cut and paste single based artists. I mean regardless to your feelings on if Hip Hop is dead or not you gotta agree, the art of making the album is dead as fuck and nobody is taking chances with they shit anymore. They are all just kinda vying for viacom adspace.

Kanye's new video looks pretty damn good



So yeah this nigga released a SNIPPET of a single and had the internet going crazy, how wild is that? He leaked the chorus of a song man, the chorus and we responded like it was the fucking album. Even if you dont like dude you was still tryna at least hear it so that you could hate first. Well my homie Von Pea pointed out to me that a rough edit of the video has found its way onto youtube. Wanna see it?
So im hearing a version of the song with Jeezy rapping has also been spotted, now THATS some shit im tryna hear! I dont know about you but i like Jeezy. Unlike alot of these flash my shit in your face rappers at least he is inspirational with it. Dude be on some "man i wish you were as rich as me so that you could make it rain too" shit while most niggas is on that "nigga fuck yo wallet you dont deserve my life" shit. But the crazy thing is just hearing Jeezy's adlibs on the hook is crazy, like it makes you realize how important his adlibs are to the songs and not only that but how DOPE his adlibs are...

Im kinda excited about Graduation now...

Beanie Sigel is taking sides



Yall heard this Creep Low diss song yet? DX is runnin kinda slow on my browser (guess we doin some maintennance) so i cant check the audio section but now Beans wants a piece of Dipset.

So that makes True Life, Jigga, and who else not liking the Dips? Shit from what i recollect, last week the Dipset didnt even like each other. Didnt Jimmy put Cam on time out? Speaking of which did yall catch cam on youtube in his boxers (lookin like he just got done humpin ottoman's with them niggas 2 blogs ago)  tellin 50 he had some heat for him? Guess he had to go to Miami for his punishment.


best quote in the whole clip "get my fuckin pool in the back". lol

The Game - My Bitch



I still haven't even heard Dr's Advocate but im sure I can imagine what it sounds like and im fairly certain it isn't better than The Documentary. At any rate in typical internet fashion unreleased songs are popping up here and there. So HHDX just posted this rather unscathing diss that got left off of Dr's Advocate. The only real criticism that I have of the song is that for a nigga that drops names so heavily why not name  names on your diss song? It's not like we don't know who he talkin about.

By the way, how was Dr's Advocate? All I know is that One Blood annoyed the shit outta me and the remix made my contempt for the song even worse. I almost heard Compton (the joint Will I Am did) but my girlfriend made me cut it off midway thru because she had the driver's seat advantage. You know how it is on road trips, if you drivin you decidin. I do kinda want to hear it tho, just not that bad...

NO HOMO



I aint gonna lie im not the biggest fan of this phrase, simply because alot of times its unnecessary. You think gay people are running around sayin 'no hetero'? Probably not. I don't know if this statement has been repealed yet but it seems to be going strong and gaining momentum.

A friend of mine got offended by it and when i asked her why she was like 'thats so insensitive, i know alot of gay people and they all hate that'. Since i was in san francisco i figured i would watch my back and chill offa sayin it.I for one kinda think sayin 'no homo' after every slightly gay thing is kinda gay in itself. I mean I can see how it began as a slight joke that got blown WAY outta proportion and now has become kinda like stop snitching, taken all outta context. Granted i will throw a no homo in the conversation here and there i do it more so for comedic effect rather than for actual sexual clarification.

I mean when the proponents of said 'no homo' movement watch porn do they have to mumble 'no homo' everytime they see the penis on the screen? Or maybe they just watch girl on girl porn, but even then isnt that lesbian? Aren't lesbians homosexuals? Ain't that like an oxymoron? I'm so confused. Either way i feel like the phrase should die but after being alerted to this youtube clip I feel that this entire blog needs to be placed securely in the no homo viewing zone. Even a gay person would say this shit was gay.

Men lets do our part to help these women this summer



Its gotta be hard as shit being a woman and we dont make it any easier for yall either. The reason i say this is because as the weather heats up and the skirts get shorter us menfolk get a lil more antsy. Keep in mind we will try and holler at you with a wintercoat and some non revealing shit on but when the weather breaks man we are all over your ass.

Like the other day im walkin from the train and this young lady was a few paces behind me. She couldn't have been no more than like 21 and me, well im quite grown (with a woman i might add) so i aint want nothing no way. I stopped to adjust one of my several electronics and she managed to get a few paces ahead. Now i aint gonna lie I checked her out but it wasnt no kinda holleration in the dancerie goin on. She saw a small grouping of young knuckleheads on the next corner and bolted across the street only to run into one guy who was coming towards her on his cell phone. Son proceeded to halt his call and turn fully around screamin 'yo ma, yo... slow down ma, lemme talk to you' and she just kinda switched to a damn near slight jog.

Another example is that inadvertant ass shielding thing women do. Like they will have on a skirt or something and that 'yo, yo ma' shit has them so self concious about havin all dat ass that they feel the need to just shield it. Its like they got eyes in the back of they head cus they just know we starin and dont want to provoke any unwarranted holleration. I mean yeah if you wearin some thing that warrants the attention i dont really feel any pity for the oogling that you get but im talkin about a woman with a really nice body who just kinda has on some normal shit.
 
All im askin is that yall niggas really calm that shit down and let these ladies live man. Stop actin like you just got outta jail and learn the subtle art of eyefucking. Word to the McDonalds at the W4 stop, that unwarrranted oogling shit does not feel good man. All you socially inept 'yo ma' nigga is fuckin it up for everybody. Case in point you ever been out and about and just tried to strike up a non holleration convo with a woman? That shit doesnt work cus she automatically is assessing you even if you aint tryna holler.

Women are grading us on the 'tryna holler' curve cus of the 'yo ma' niggas out there. That nigga is cisin these bitties up man which in turn inflates the price of the P and that doesn't make KRS happy at all. And you don't want to anger the teacha and have him goin all verbose on you with them bugged out eyes, now do you?

Ever wonder where Jodeci went?



Jodeci's Diary of a Mad Band is one of my favorite lp's ever. It can even be argued that the overtness of it helped to ruin modern R&B. Save the theory that the band stopped mattering so much when hip hop production meshed with vocalists because you still have to put on a stage show with a band. I mean sangers was blowin over breakbeats already so its not like they innovated, shit they was filling New Edition's shoes.

Aside from introducing the world to the talent that is Missy Elliott the big difference on this lp was that them niggas went STRAIGHT for the pussy. It was a marked departure from their first lp's more toned down approache. No mincing words at all, they was tryna fuck your girl and maybe even you. im just sayin that gelled baby hair shit was never really the look now was it? But i digress, the point of this post is to kinda look back and say ill be DAMNED if i didnt see K-Ci and JoJo becoming Cracky and SmokesBlow before my very own eyes.

Okay first off look at the album and the songs in contrast to their first lp. This joint was just fucking laced with drugs and it even sounded a lil drugged up. What drugs it was on can be argued but i mean its safe to say it was definitely smoking some of that good cali and drinkin, ALOT. I definitely wouldnt rule out some of that soft white, not at all man.

Exhibit A: Feenin'back then it was just a dope song/concept. Looking back at the intro to the video and how jodeci ended up it was a glaring sign for help. these niggas wasnt just singin, they was SMOKIN! Snoop, Dre and the whole Deathrow family turned out lil carolina boys out, and hindsight being 20-20, did their departure from Bad Boy and subsequent joining up with Deathrow play any part in that beef at all?

Then the actual performance of the songs themselves are just different. Granted artists grow and they were going thru the roof with it, still its something different about it. I mean the playful vamping that took place at the end of the songs on Forever My Lady is replaced with the rambling vamp that closes Cry for You. Seriously go listen to that shit again, maybe im buggin but they sound drunk on that shit. Granted this is one of my favorite albums to ever be recorded hands down it still just kinda screams "BITCH! STAY OFF THAT BLOW!" I like how K-Ci and JoJo stepped away from Jodeci to clean their image up and make top 40 hits only to dissappear. Crack binge? lol

So this youtube clip should come as no surprise to anyone who likes Jodeci. Well i mean the fact that JoJo sounds HORRIBLE should be surprising but i know that nigga used to chain smoke newports so i guess it aint THAT surprising. I present to you Jodeci in 2008 well K-Ci and JoJo, it aint Jodeci without Devante. What the fuck did Dalvin do anyway?

Where did THIS group go man?!?!?!? Seriously did yall see that shit? The expired gyrating that nigga was doin? I mean for real man the niggas sound and look like deacons in a baptist church. Nobody can stay young forever (except Peter Pan and R.Kelly) and I guess our beloved Carolina Boys missed the memo. Remember the Come and Talk To Me Remix?

this joint is arguably better than the freekin you remix, well at least in my opinion it is. son... they had on fucking sheer track suits! now this was before the whole deathrow/tyrone biggums phase but i just threw it in for the track suits. File this under legacies ruined.

Omazing Grace




I dont know if yall remember the TV show 'Life Goes On' but it was about a loveable down syndrome guy and his adventures with us nondevelopmentally challenged people. We would tune in and root for Corky and laugh at his dilemnas once a week and although it wasnt supposed to be funny, we would laugh. It was one of them warm heart felt sappy drama-comedy shows, where they would teach life lessons and shit. It was a pretty good show. Which leads me to my point, a developmentally challenged person is not exempt from doing funny shit. People are people and some dont fall under the classical description of normal, that does not mean that they cant just be unintentionally funny.


(this is Corky, yall remember him now right?)

Case in point, I did a short stint working in mental health and the two people I looked after were an austic guy named Robert aka Silent Rob and this other dude with down syndrome named somethingthatescapesmerightnow. At anyrate the down syndrome guy got mad cus he found out I was chillin a little too hard on the job and he started kinda berating me. Basically i was working the night shift and when they tucked in at 10pm I'd wait till them niggas started snoring and catch my own z's. Sometimes dude would wake up to raid the fridge and my napping worked for him in that respect. I was like a watchdog and he wasnt supposed to snack past bedtime. As long as I was waking them up and getting them off to work with breakfast and a bagged lunch i was doin my job tho, or so i thought.

Long story short the down syndrome nigga's big sister got at him one day on some "yo why all the snacks keep dissappearing" and he was all "WELL IF THE GUY YALL HIRED WAS AWAKE WHEN I GOT HUNGRY IT WOULDNT BE HAPPENING'" and im all "bitch i got another full time job whats wrong if he want some gummy bears at 3am? let them have cake!" So one day we had a huge blow up over him asking me to lotion his back (nohomo) and I was NOT on that shit yo. I mean real talk who the fuck lotions their back anyway? Yall niggas prolly at work readin this with an ashy ass back right now simply because you cant reach it. But the point to him asking was less about moisturizing and more about 'YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING YOU CANT JUST BE ON MY COUCH SLEEP!' That was my last day on the job. I'll be damned if i lotion another niggas back that ain't my progeny and even then lil man better figure that shit out on his own man, i got my own back to worry about.

The other dude Robert was chill man. We would just sit around watching TV and he would never speak, the down syndrome dude would talk way too fucking much and he was always tryna watch some boring shit on TV. One morning Silent Rob was sitting around watchin an episode of 'Sister Sister' or some shit with me that had something to do with a girl not liking a dress that was bought for her. Silent Rob goes "See thats why you cant buy bitches SHIT! They dont appreciate it, they never do." I was floored. At that moment I realized that missing chromosomes and all that shit dont negate anything man, them niggas is just as normal as us.

That said on today May 8, 2007 I would like to officially lift the moratorium on stifling laughter at disabled people. Them niggas can get guffawed at just like any other red blooded american.

In celebration of this i present to you 'Omazing Grace'

Apparently Kanye West debuted a new song a few days ago



since i dont have cable i was tryna youtube that kanye 'throw some d's remix' video* and i found this short clip of a new song. you cant really hear the beat but you can hear the lyrics.does this snippet get anybody excited about the new lp? i mean i know you cant really rock out to it cus its kinda shitty audio but you know you can hear it and i know if i was excited i would have spun it back like 3-4 times on some 'OH SHIT!' shit. im not sayin whether i did or didnt spin it back because i honestly want to know how yall feel about the louis vutton don.

*incase you missed it here is the clip in which 'ye upstaged the actual commissioned rich boy remix (spare andre's verse) i mean the nigga went out and shot a video for a mixtape song he did. you kinda gotta love 'ye for shit like this alone...
