The Reality From out West

The Cool Kids and the Lames


December 19, 2007 | Tags: Common, Jay Z, Lupe, NORE< Murs

 

     I've been so busy doing what has amounted up to nothing it's ridiculous.
Two tears in a bucket...fuck it, life keeps moving so I follow suit. I was
thinking last time I posted a blog listing my CD's on my Zune after someone
(guilty names shall remain nameless) sent me an old CNN CD "NORE is that dude,"
No, of course not rapping, but seriously, he's a funny ass dude. So to begin my
end of year lists, I'm gonna go with one that doesn't go directly with this
year, I'm gonna do my top 5 artists/rappers (there's a difference, I'll get on
that later) I'd kick it with and need reality shows, and then the top 5 rappers
I'd hate to
hang around.







5. David Banner- Banner isn't one of the funniest dudes, he's just a
real ass dude. I never skip a David Banner interview. While I'm not the biggest
fan of his music, he always has some relevant shit to say off the mic. I've
never given him a chance on the mic, cuz "Like a Pimp" sort of scared me away,
but I may have to give his music a chance. If David Banner got a reality show
there's a slight chance it might seriously help change some shit.



4. Redman- The best crib on MTV cribs hands down. First of all, it was
originally his moms crib that he used to live in, he bought his moms a newer
nicer crib. Second of all...it's the shit. All the video games systems that
ever came out damn near all in the same spot. A box full of money just to order
pizza with. His cousin just chilling knocked the fuck out on the couch, that's
how we used to do!(without the box of money)The only problem with me chilling
at Red's crib is Redman, like Meka Soul (challenge!), can't fuck with me in
Madden.



3. Murs- Who says underground rappers can't have personality? I got the
chance to talk to Murs at "Paid Dues Festival", and while he is ducking catching
a beat down on XBOX live, he's still a cool cat. Murs is like the Vince Vaughn
of hip hop. In every Vince Vaughn movie Vince plays the guy's guy role. Mur's
music is like Wedding Crashers and all of Vince's other movies in audio format.
A Murs reality show would probably end up being just like Rob and Big, but like
Amanda, I just can't stop watching that shit.



2. E40-Game. What more can I say. I feel like if I sat down and talked
with Bill Gates, then when out and tried to get some money, then sat down with
E40, then went and tried to get some money, I'd get more money after hollering
at 40. I have no E40 CD's, but damn near every time I hear him he says some shit
I can relate to. Hidden amongst all his slang (which, is damn near half of all
hip hop slang)is some shit that anybody who didn't grow up in Laguna Beach can
relate too, and a lot of times learn from.




1. Noreaga- Nore is off the yelsabubs. I never skip a Nore interview
either. Nore said in the last interview I read, "I don't have to sell drugs to
be hood, I'm hood cuz I'm sitting my big ass nice house still drinking Kool-Aid"
Are you fucking kidding...I love Kool-Aid! I'd be sitting right there with him,
drinking 100 proof Mc flurry's, Kool-Aid, and watching bootleg cable with the
rest of the slime. The best thing on all the Nore CDs are the skits. Nore had me
telling everybody "Damn nigga, turn the heat off slavery". Fuck Flavor
of Love, they need to have Nore of Love, that shit would be hilarious, I can't
imagine how this cat would act with a house full of chicks throwing it at him.







     Of course the late Pimp C would have made the list if he was still
with us. After him going off on all the bullshit in rap and some fake ass
pimp that called him fake, I would have loved to see a Pimp C reality show.A couple
of other people that almost made the list, Slug from Atmosphere, Evidence from
Dilated (he used to seem boring as hell until I seen the "Release Party")
Planet Asia,Talib Kweli, and ?uestlove.I really want to put Mos Def on the lists
, so just make a mental note of him being number 6.Now time for the
boring/oddball/weird muthafuckas who I'm just glad to hear on the mic, but could
care less about off it.







5. Joe Budden-Mood Music 3 is the shit. Rappers need to quit with all that
punch line shit, cuz none of them can hold a candle to the boy Joey. The thing is,
unless your a female off the mic Joe doesn't really seem that interesting. He's
a cool dude and lyrical he's far past nice, but off the mic he just doesn't seem
that interesting.



4. Nas-I don't know why they gave him and Kelis a reality show. Actually..
..since it still hasn't come on yet...it might be canceled. Nas is a dope emcee,
but seriously, I don't care for him off the mic. I'm not gonna argue dude is stupid
because he didn't finish middle school (What Up SY!), I think dude did a good job
self-educating himself, however, someone who can do a good job self-educating
themselves normally isn't the most entertaining muthafucka. Sorry.



3, Lupe Fiasco-I'd love to tell ya'll I read manga and all that other shit...
but sorry, I don't. I'm just a normal dude who drinks kool-aid, wears Pro-5's
instead of Pro-clubs, gets corn from the corn-man, and still buys boxers and socks
from the swap meet. You may see me on Xbox Live play Naruto, but don't expect
me to know dragon ball Z line for line, or loved Star Trek/Star Wars or any of
that other nerdy shit. I got love for the nerds (especially since it was one of them
that put me on to piracy by way of AOL private chat rooms WAAAY back when my
homies thought having a computer was stupid circa 1995)but I just can't deal with
them for that long.




2. Common-I love dudes music...but have any of you guys ever heard Common just talk
when it wasn't related to his music or the struggle? Let me stop cuz Common is
still to me the greatest rapper of all time (yea, I said it, look at the
catalog), and if I ever get the chance to sit and talk to him, I don't want you
guys bringing up a lot of the stuff I've said in real life and I was gonna say
here.




1. Jay-Z-For some one to be so cool on the mic, Jay seems really old and
boring off it. Have you ever heard a Jay-Z interview? He sounds older than people
say he really is. My girl said that in the superhead book, superslut said Jay
didn't even say anything when he grabbed her head and put it between his legs....
damn, not even a "Suck that dick bitch" or nothing. He's lucky I'm already taken and
if I wasn't I'm still tied to Jill Scott, cuz if I wasn't, I'd snatch Beyonce's
non-singing ass right from under his old ass arms. Have you seen "Backstage"? I
was like please get back to Redman, please go back to Beans...shit, I'd rather
listen to Bleek talk about he suprised Jay that he did that Garbage ass debut
album by his self.("The Understanding" was better)





     Another dude that just barely missed this list was Black Thought, one of
the best lyricists of all time...boring as hell off the mic. I would have put
Canibus...but he's not a rapper..lol, I kid, I kid. I left all those cooning ass
artists, cuz that goes without saying.



     I'm out, I'll try to be back 2morrow, or 2night, but if not, Love, Peace,
and Happiness, go get you some. If your on the west coast, Christmas day, out here
in Long Beach at 8PM, we got Murs, Self Scientific, Pigeon John, and 2mex at the
Vault 350. $17 to get in and a Christmas present for everybody who comes out to
the show. So for all you muthafuckas not getting nothing for Christmas (*raises
hand) come out and get some good music. I'll be there, holler at me. Peace.
