The drama king is in the building?

I think if you have to run through your song list (that no one cares about) your in trouble.

I don’t think Kanye will never be bigger than Fif, no matter what his numbers do

-Tony Yayo speaking to MTV

The next threat to hip hop: Diddy with the autotune.

Though Diddy does go hard on this joint, I wonder who is ghostwriter is now?

This is the official picture for anytime Fifty talks greezy.

50 Cent whose in the UK promoting his new movie Righteous Kill was asked by BBC’s 1xtra if he would be performing at any international festivals similar to how Jay-Z did the Glastonbury Music Festival. In true Fifty fashion he big’d himself and Eminem up and took a slight at a big name rapper, this time Jay-Z. Here’s what he said,

I’m the largest hip-hop touring artist period. Like Em (Eminem) is the biggest rap artist on the planet. And I’m the largest touring artist because I travel places when he won’t go actually go to each one of those territories to be in front of all his fans. Not that he doesn’t love them but he just won’t make the sacrifice of traveling as hard as I do. Jay-Z didn’t have a lot of records that had really big international followings. So for him to be able to get out there and be the actual headliner, it was just good positioning on his team’s part.

Yeah Jay-Z doesn’t have a big international following. Sure. I’m not even going to argue that.

On a sidebar, don’t you hate it when Fifty talks “faux business” using words like “territories” and “positioning” and saying “I’m in a great space”. What a fruit cake.

If you don’t know who Masta Ace is I suggest you hit up an old mom and pop record store (if they are still around) and get your learn on. Masta Ace is from the old school, but is pretty much the most influential rapper who never gets his full props.

The October ‘08 issue of XXL magazine will feature none other than Ludacris and not Lil Wayne (for once). Ludacris whose trying to make a comeback having been away from the game since 2006, (though since no one listened to his last album he’s been away since 2004’s Red Light District) seems like he’s got his game tight this time around.

Royce Da 5′9″, who I think is one of the wackest rappers of all time, is taking shots at Joe Budden in his new song I’m Nice. No your not. I’m not even going to post the audio but here’s an excerpt of the verse.

What’s beef? I’ll play it one way, violate it Sunday get annihilated Monday
you niggas is actors, what is you recording?
ill leave you bleeding lying on the cutting room floor then,
listen to Joe Budden say, ‘I fell the f*** off,’
but he never fell on, i’ll just gonna ignore him,
make a nigga extra famous after I warned him,
don’t jump, you gay as, Greg Louganis, into that water,
you dont want it, you can either have a nice after noon,
or you can have your family do the mournin’”

Beanie Sigel gives his two cents about hood fashion and the clothing hustle.

At times like these I wish I could throw tomatoes through my computer screen so that they could some how hit these buffoons.

50 Cent talks about his last album, Before I Self Destruct, which will drop December 9th. He also sheds some light on Eminem’s comeback lp.

John McCain continues to say that the economy is fundamentally sound even though the stock market has pretty much exploded and that huge financial companies like Lehman Brothers are going bankrupt and Merrill Lynch just sold for half price to Bank of America.

F**k a rap battle this is way more liver.

Apparently the folks at Declare Yourself think that it will. Jessica Alba, who I’ve wanted to bone since she was on Flipper, appears in bondage looking kinda boyish for a new ad to encourage young people to vote.

I don’t know about you but if you ain’t voting in the upcoming election (and you can) you are retarded. I don’t care who you are voting for, just by participating you show you care about your country and about yourself. Remember if you don’t vote you can’t complain about the government.

T.I.’s security guard, Alfamega gets busy on his first single 4 or 5 Ways of his debut album entitled Hustle Muscle.

Kanye West has announced via his blog that he has re-recorded his first single “Love Lockdown” from his upcoming album 808s & Heartbreak. YoRapper thinks this is a good idea because he sounded like William Hung on that jawn. Here’s what Yeezy had to say,

Your prayers have been answered!! There’s a new version of love Love Lockdown coming. We used new taiko drums and I re-sung it… it’s being Mastered now….

Here’s the newer artwork with perfected type 4 all design snobs lol…

Sidebar… if you don’t like autotune… too bad cause I love it and have been using it since the College Dropout!!!

Firstly, YoRapper loves how Kanye calls himself a perfectionist when he really is a rusher.

Secondly, what song on College Dropout used autotune? Was it an interlude?

Joe Budden’s next album, Padded Room, which was supposed to come out in December is now coming out Feb. 24, 2009. It looks like the label thinks the Jay-Z Kanye West 50 Cent sales bonanza will take away sales from regular Joe. We tend to agree. Good move.

Here’s what Joe Budden had to say about the situation and what’s on the horizon for him. Read more »

Not that I really care about DipSet’s Londongate, this is too hilarious not to watch. Here’s the back story, the Diplomats were all supposed to perform in London for $70k and then for one reason or another didn’t show. Recently, Juelz thought it would be a good idea to go to UK and supposedly ended up getting jacked for his jewels. Now Juelz has come out with a video saying he didn’t get jacked and that he is buddy buddy with the UK peeps. Now DipSet’s former manager, Big Joe, comes out with his side of the story, basically saying the Dips were too lazy to hop on a plane and Cam’ron ended up pocketing the show money.

Kanye West’s already shooting the video for his first single “Love Lockdown”. Here are some pics with video vixen Dolicia Bryan. **Bob Barker voice** From the looks of it, Kanye’s going to Africa!

Lil Wayne was the musical guest on SNL last night, here’s a clip of him performing Got Money along with Mac Maine.

Oh man that Sarah Palin impression is uncanny.

50’s trying to turn the tide, will it work?

Also Before I Self Destruct will be out December 9th, a week before 808s & Heartbreak. What a pussy.

If your like me you probably hate it when politicians (or anyone else for that matter) completley change the subject when you ask them a question. John McCain, for example, is a master at this. He appeared on The View yesterday and was asked some really pointed questions and he would just duck the question and regurgitate his talking points.
