Since I am not really around white people and have an unintentional streak of not speaking to a white person in 7 months, it is pretty safe to say I’m pretty clueless when it comes to the melanin challenged. This had lead me to learn an interesting issue among whites, which came out of Barack Obama’s speech on race in America, and that is known as “White Resentment”.

I hate it so much when rappers brag about taking 5 minutes to write their lyrics, especially when the end result is the worst song ever. Who do they think they are impressing? I don’t want to point anyone out, because a lot of rappers are guilty of writing down the first thing that comes to mind and having the nerve to record it, but Juelz Santana needs to be called out. I heard little Juelz say he took 2 minutes to write his verse for one of these mixtape songs. I almost died. Dude, hi dude, no one would believe you took an hour to write most of the garbage you spit. And you do an incredible diservice to yourself as an artist and to the fans and hip hop as a whole by releasing this sub-par material.

You have to admit Fifty with the tear drop is the funniest thing that’s ever happened in hip hop. Point blank period. I think it’s right up there with Jigga plastering ballerina P all over the summer jam screen years back. See what people are afraid to admit is Fifty knows how to market. He is the greatest promoter rap has ever seen. How else can you explain how he got everyone in G-Unit platinum plaques (except Yayo, who for the record isn’t that bad)?

Last night, while waiting for the primary election results, I wanted a quick laugh so I decided to look up some “KKK-white power-neo nazi” kind of websites. After some google’ing I came across a “white pride” message board run by the group known as “Stormfront”. This message board was filled with all kinds of hate and ignorance as to be expected and I did get a good laugh out of it, I did, however, find some interesting things about these “folks” that I think you will all find kind of interesting.

Elliot’s Jump Off “Kristen”

This whole Elliot Spitzer paying for hoes has brought prostitution to the mainstream, wait didn’t Pretty Woman do that? Anyway, this whole “scandal” got me thinking, would I pay for sex if I had a family and was the governor of New York. Right away, my first reaction is hell no. I have a strict policy of not paying for sex, lap dancing or just spending any money on a chick for sexual favors (MOB). And it’s not because I have some high morality, but mostly because I’m a cheap bastard and would rather game a chick to do all that good stuff to me (I have such an ego). But let’s put ourselves in Elliot’s size 9 pair of Hermès loafers.

I really think Fat Joe messed up with this latest album, Elephant in the Room. Not because it was a bad album, at best it was average, but because this was a key moment in his career to prove he could make a classic album in the post-classic era (and ironically would no longer be the elephant in the room). This really could have been his Blueprint. Why?

The recent photoshop beef between Fat Joe and 50 Cent have got me thinking…what’s up with rappers and photoshop? I mean since Master P and the old Cash Money were putting together the most photoshop’d album covers ever, niggas have been fascinated with the idea of taking a picture of you in your mamma’s kitchen and making it seem like your in front of a mansion, surrounded by half naked women in fur coats, sitting on a Bentley, and have, for no reason, two huge Facob diamond watches coming down from the sky (and let’s not forget the addition of stacks of cash, machine guns, tanks, and other army paraphernalia). Remember that song by The Roots? Pretty much.

I haven’t done an album review in a hot minute, simply because all the albums that have come out have not been worth writing about and I hate to do forced reviews. I tried to review the Wu album, but only got half way through before I deleted the album. I also got half way through the UGK album, but that only means I made it passed disc 1. But what has their been? Read more »

I’m a pretty level headed person, but nothing gets me more heated than when (1) Republicans attack Barack Obama for non-issue based reasons such as his middle name being Hussein or because his father was a Muslim from Kenya and (2) when little kids claim Lil Wayne is better than Jay-Z. First of all, grow the fuck up.

Now admittedly, I have never heard anyone mumble such ignorance in person, but here in bizarro internet world, people are apparently retarded. Take the amount of anti-Obama videos popping up on Youtube right now courtesy of the good folks at Fox News. I don’t know who taught these hicks to record Fox to their computers or how they even have computers in the first place but there consistent posting of Fox News clips as the premier informational resource on all things Obama is driving me crazy.

How can anyone take Fox News seriously? Who watches this nonsense? How can these people not see through this bullshit? Though these are the same yahoos that gave George Bush a second term.

Now for the Weezy-riders…Jay-Z’s track record speaks for itself. But if your too lazy to read all that because you are pumped up on promethazine. 10 multi-platinum albums in 12 years. Don’t get me wrong, Lil Wayne is great but he’s no where near Jigga yet and will likely be nowhere near Hov’s success when he is 40 -if he lives that long.
