Snoop Dogg airs out Bill O'Reilly and calls him a prick!

I found this video of Snoop Dogg laying into Bill O'Reilly while on a dutch tv talk show last year. Of course if you know anything about Bill O'Reilly you will know that hes an arsehole, in fact that may even be too soft, you could go as far as saying hes a total cunt. Anyway have a look at snoop laying into him with flowery language. Then watch the Bill Reply on his own tv show in America. Shame this didn't turn into one of them hip hop beefs, maybe Bill could have drop some bars, hes putting the trash talk out there anyway on the telly. Ya dig?

Suge Knight to Lose Death Row Records in Auction

Its official, a court has ordered that suge sells the infamous Death Row Records. All bids must be in by June 1oth and of a minimum value of $24 million. Someone will pick up the publishing rights and works from the west coasts greats of the 90's such as Tupac, Snoop Dogg and Dre. This could potentially be a bargain as there are a lot of classics there.

Pied Pedo soon to be trapped in a cell!

Ok so R kelly's trial is in full effect and he looks soon to be "proper fucked" as they say.
Besides the fact that now 5 or 6 people have identified not only Kelly but the girl n the video, including family members as well as people who worked and were part of Kells entourage. It seems the whole thing has now been blown wide open by some defense mistakes and oversights on Kells part, remember if you plead guilty and take responsibility instead of lying, people tend to go easier on you.

Its no surprise the defense are clutching at straws after another couple incidents. First their surprise witness who was supposed to testify against the credibility of the prosecution witness who claims to have had a 2 way with Kells and the alleged 13 year old, refused to give his social security number so that they could actually confirm he was who he claimed he was. So probably not likely to actual take the stand.
Next, the video tape was authenticated by a specialist in court, claiming it would take a near impossible amount of time to actuially be able to edit and make that particular tape. Finally the specialist also pointed to a couple frames where you can clearly see a mole on the back of the man in the video. A mole that defense lawyers had claimed Kelly had but could not bee seen on the actual video.
DAMMMMMN , sounds like the defense fucked up! they giving Kells' game away.
On the upside of things Kells i likely to get a lot of prison luv! ya dig?

Pure Panic in the Streets of Miami

Hilarious video of Cipha Sounds interviewing an old lady unable to hide her shock of the hip-hop invasion over the past weekend. I think it's safe to say she wasn't screaming "we the best" at at Miami beach (2nd vid below)

Christmas Come Early

More downloadable magic. 

A while back Puffy came out with an album called 'we invented the remix'. That was a bare faced lie. Pete Rock invented the remix, (and adlibs) he also did a good job of making sure the remix was better than the original. Click here to download a compilation of his best. Whilst there check the archive pages of what appears to be a defunct site, the download links however are still live. Which is good news because theres a whole host of crazy shit on there from the 90's such as Mobb Deep Murda Muzik (deleted first version), Tony Touch 50 mc's, Brooklyn Academy album, Buckwild remixes, Ghostface live in NYC and 2Pac/Boot Camp Click unreleased album!

Over at Rap Mullet Kid Capri, Red Alert and Funk Flex tapes are available and digitized for your listening pleasure.

His life is like a movie, now we can all enjoy the Hot Mess that is Jones (no homo)
This guy is probably one of the funniest characters in hip hop, dont know bout Dame Dash though didnt he go bankrupt? This a come back?

Maybe he should of written it down?

For a guy that alleges to never write a rhyme down maybe he could of used a pen and pad to have an answer ready for the question everyone was wondering. What do you actually do at the Nets? Answer .... "Ummmm, eeeerrr, I'm an investor". Oh dear, he even cracked a smile when asked. Horribly caught out. Thats alright we all know the answer - "nothing, im just the poster (step) child of the organization"

NBA - Jay z hopes it will rain at the draft pick this year.

Jay z is gonna be present in this years NBA draft pick representing for the Nets. Here you can see him holding up his share percentage of the franchise only he forgot the . in between the 0 and the 9.

Role Reversal For Kobe

Four teams left in the playoffs, two of which no-one wants to see in the finals. Spurs-Pistons would be a ratings/entertainment disaster. Of the two matchups left one holds far greater interest than the other. The whole world will be cheering on the once, most hated on man in the league. Now lets see if Kobe and his yellow and purple army can take out the whinging, cheating, dirty, boring but annoyingly good San Antonio Spurs. 

Kobe Top 10 plays of the season 

Game time

The last time Game was at Hot 97, flex ended up with a two week suspension narrowly escaping a firing. This time was not quite as eventful but none the less pretty hilarious. Game winds up Angie Martinez to a point but avoids getting kicked out, comes with some great one liners - "Game you sound down, nah its the sour diesel" and attempts to do impersonations of Shyne and Dmx. That enough for you.

HOTTEST MC IN THE GAME !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

MTV over in America have just recently done the "Hottest MC in the game" for this year of 2008.
Now, all of us hip hop fans(over 25) do actually know that hip-hop ain't what it was in terms of content, lyrical ability, production and overall quality, still, recent years have thrown great talent out like the relentless Lil Wayne, who love him or hate him is in many people's mind the greatest rapper alive as well as the not so talented but equally amusing capo of the Dipset Jim Jones.
Anyway the list is out, voted and agreed by the MTV Hip-Hop (NO) Brain Trust and as you can imagine is a load of complete bullshit.
Ladies and gents it hurts me to say that the king of hissy fits is top of the list as the hottest mc in the game right now. Kanye West has had many a run in with MTV in recent years declaring 'Fuck MTV, Fuck em, I ain't ever coming back"
Perhaps in fear that the Ye would boycott the Mtv studios and awards this Brain trust of hip hop has declared this blatant mis justice.

'Hottest MCs In The Game'(MTV)
1 Kanye
2 Jay-Z
3 Weezy
4 Rick Ross
5 Snoop Dog
6 50 Cent
7 Lupe Fiasco
8 Young Jeezy
9 Andre 3000
10 T.I

I could go on and on about this list, my main problem besides Kanye is the fact that Jay-Z is second having put out two really shit albums as his last two outings compared to albums such as the Black album. Why is he so high up? Could it be the industry weight he pulls as a business man? If so, why is 50 so low? surely The G unit top boy pulls a great deal of power in the corporate world so surely he should be higher?
The Titay gravy Boss creeps in at 4. Then I'm left thinking are people saying that the Boss is 4th hottest Mc in the game right now????? This list is bogus! I mean only if they doing it on album releases this year and their relative sales numbers can this be even accepted or tolerated.
I'm a fan of the Boss but hottest Mc ? Number 4? Come on.
There's mc's out there right now that may not have a general release this side of the new year but are blatant hands down a lot better and hotter than some of the names on this list. A lot of names that are in our opinion just at the wrong order. Plus I know there's some Mc's like Nas, Juelz, Joe Budden, Royce 5'9 or even Killa Cam who ain't put nothing out yet this year or might not have had the commercial success as the like of the hugely pushed and marketed American Gangster but still have done enough to be at least considered for the top 10.
Also before I forget, Andre 3000??!?!?!? Get the fuck outta here man, is that a joke?!?!?!?

The worst thing is a non hip hop fan could see this and then go out and hear these artists in that order leaving them to think that yes hip -hop is dead.
Fuck MTV as Kanye would say them lot are full of shit no doubt.

This is a list according to all contributors here in the office, free from bias and free from fucking ass sucking scum bags with no integrity.

1- Lil Wayne
2-Lupe Fiasco
3- Young Jeezy
4-50 Cent
5- Styles P
6- Joell Ortiz
7-Juelz Santana
8- Flo Rida
9-Skyzoo
10-Kanye West

Votes counted and added. To be honest it looks different than I expected.

Party Like a Rock Star (indeed)

From a recent interview with Blender mag, Lil Wayne is asked to recall his single most rock star moment. This was his response 

i was in Texas on some big-ass tour. At the beginning of every show, all the Hot Boys—me, B.G., Juvenile and Turk—we had this helicopter set in the middle of the arena; we’d climb in, and the helicopter would take off and bring us to the stage. Everyone would start screaming. We in the middle of the crowd, going up, and we’d throw money down as we flew. When we land, fire and sparks go off. The Big Tymers would come out through a giant Rolex and pour Cristal on people from these giant Cristal bottles; we came out in a helicopter.Whoo! My heart was in the bottom of my insoles. Crazy. 

Responses regarding the booking of Jay-Z to headline Glastonbury, culminated with slower ticket sales than usual has brought up some interesting issues over the last couple months. I was reminded of this by Jay's recent response to Noel Gallagher's stupidity. 

In case you missed it Noel said "I'm sorry, but Jay-Z? No chance. Glastonbury has a tradition of guitar music." followed by "i'm not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. It's wrong"

Besides blatant ignorance (hip-hop artists have been performing at Glastonbury for years) it also shows a huge prejudice towards the music which has been echoed by many. The outcry that they should allow a rapper to have their precious "headline" slot highlights the snobbery and racist opinions of the people who attend this festival in direct contradiction to what it stands for. 

As a hip-hop head I spent many hours standing at that festival watching artists that I would never of thought to see but I did so with an open mind and respected their craft whether I liked the music or not. It appears that fake liberals, bohemians and the legions of mdma, ketamine and ecasty takers cannot do the same. It's a daam shame. 

Heres Jay-Z's response to the whole debacle:

"We don't play guitars, Noel, but hip-hop has put in its work like any other form of music."

"This headline show is just a natural progression. Rap music is still evolving. From Afrika Bambaataa DJ-ing in the Bronx and RUN DMC going platinum, to Jazzy Jeff And The Fresh Prince winning the first rap Grammy, I'm just next in the line. We have to respect each other's genre of music and move forward ....

"The world has to change. It just can't be one thing -- and that's the beautiful thing." 

Exactly.

George Bush - Reagan saw it coming

This brought a smile to my face,

Ronald Reagan giving his views on George Bush Jnr's employability:

'A moment I've been dreading. George brought his n'er-do-well son around this morning and asked me to find the kid a job. Not the political one who lives in Florida; the one who hangs around here all the time looking shiftless. This so-called kid is already almost 40 and has never had a real job. Maybe I'll call Kinsley over at The New Republic and see if they'll hire him as a contributing editor or something. That looks like easy work.'

Just the kind of guy you want to give the most powerful job on the planet then!

Hollywood Ski-ing

The celebration of weed smoking has long been a staple of hip-hop lyrics. Cocaine use however has always been a taboo subject. If you don't think your favorite rapper has ever gone ski-ing you must be smoking something stronger. It's taken till 2008 for a record to approach the subject on consuming rather than supply. Here it is

N.E.R.D. CRS, Pusha - Everybody Nose (remix)

Remy Ma

8 Years in jail for the woman who attempted to shoot her friend

Damnnnnnnnnnnn!

Skyzoo - The Neccessary Evils

Great record, from another fire mc from Brooklyn. CornerStore Classics mixtape available on itunes. 

Heres a couple links for tracks from the boy:

News round up and some funny shit

firstly who would have thought growing up in the nineties that Suge Knight was gonna be punched and knocked the fuck out on the street and that all of that would be caught on camera?
No one thats who. Suge was the most feared man in hip-hop back in the day. He conducted the respect of many. Anyway now hes just another guy getting laid out on the tarmac. Who ever smacked this guy must have one serious hook uppercut combination thats for sure.




Great stuff.

Next we have someone who has blessed this blog with previous appearances.
R Kelly is finally about to go to court for the whole pissing on a minor and then recording it.
The pied pipers legal team tried to again postpone the beginning of the trial which has been 8 years in waiting . This time the judge told Kells he has to come out the closet and face his charges. Hes looking at a possible 15 years in jail if found guilty.



Papoose and Remy Ma's jail house wedding is not happening! Well at least for the next 6 months. Pap was caught smuggling a handcuff key into jail for his bride to be. Result- wedding canceled and a 6 month ban from the prison for the Nacirema Dream man. Lets hope this wedding is not shelved like the album i mean, who wouldn't want to see that prison wedding hey?!?!?




Now for some funny shit.

NO HOMO

This is just an ode to the no homo phenomenon, i know some of these photos need to be accompanied by the NO HOMO sign no doubt.


Damn usher what is wrong with ya specially after all the rumours on the internet bout this dude living in the closet, and after this who would argue??? wouldn't be the first "ladies man: crooner that was a closet non heterosexual.



I love Killa Cam (no homo) but when i see this picture i was in stiches. This is the man who coined the infamous expression now common place in hip-hop.
By the way thats a dude with killa!

The king of gangsta rap, well i say that but what i really mean is 50 cent the supposed king of NY and supposed best gangsta rapper bla bla fucking bla is looking a tad bit fruity in this press shot. Where is the no homo???



I could i not mention the man who made the trapped in the closet series? Surely hes actually trying to tell us something.



Too much of this shit now im gonna have to post some hot chicks just to make me feel better.

New shit.

Ok heres some new tunes for you lot

First up, a round of Lil Wayne tunes, i was a lil disappointed personally but here goes for you weezy fans.

Haters
Me and my Drink
A Millie - 1 000 000 remix

And this one of the Carter 3
Got Money

Next up TI got a couple new tracks. I have to say, since getting away with his gun charges this guy has been hard working out here no doubt.

Life of the party - this one featuring the pide Pedo, i mean piper who incidentally is set to finally go to court over his pissing incident.

You Aint ready

Remember this guy?

Shyne 

Locked up for 7 years now, hoping to get out by the end of the year. His official release date is 2009. Listening back to his first release he clearly paved the way for explicit (exaggerated) coke tales and violence with no vocal conscious making full use of freedom of expression. Thats the liberal artistic viewpoint at least, you could say, it's more bullshit you heard before from a different voice. Nowadays these type of raps are commonplace (jeezy, the clipse) but after getting thrown under (into) the bus by Puffy on a one way ticket to prison he at least serves as a reminder of what happens when art imitates life or vice versa depending on your own perspective.

Shyne - The Commision

Cory Gunz

The new BAPE or the new Gino Green?

On first listen the flow is crazy,  but listen to it again. Is there much content in what hes saying? Does it matter? Rumour has it Weezy changed his verse on  A Millie after he felt Cory outshined him somewhat. One things for sure, the fact hes Peter Gunz son sure makes me feel old. Check it out and decide for yourselves

A Havoc's eye view on the Kanyegate scandal

I'm back

First things first

i'm sorry! Aint been keeping everyone up to date with all the goings on so apologies.


Ok now on to more important things.

Remember i am the hater, the 24/7 hater.

I'm not fucking feeling Kanye west. LoL

Now, i am not a hater of talent, i used to love Kanye (no homo). To me as a music lover and an aspiring producer (go kop my shit on itunes, if only i could tell you who i was), Kanye was the best. He was coming out with all the fire beats of a certain hip-hop era. He was making jams, hot jams for everyone in the game, from Luda, Jay-z, common, he even produced "You dont know my name" by Alicia keys not mention some of Killa Cam's hits.

This guy was in my book the best producer in hip-hop at that time. I would say, just before Jay-Z dropped the black album, where again West produced some of the albums best tracks.
Then, and here i should have noticed there was something funny about him because, even back then, his personality was starting to come out.
He managed to push his was into doing an album on the roc label (thank god he did as well). Honestly college dropout was a great album, fire production and Kanye was coming with some blatant honesty touching on subjects at times unusual in the rap game. Result. A classic in my view, for more reasons than just his amazing productions skills.

I was still a fan when he second album dropped. Aided by some great guest appearances like in the first album, the second outing was again a good show of his production greatness and again some witty and intelligent rap but still maintaining a certain street credibility. I mean i still listen to Gone that tune is fucking fire, no doubt! Might be Killa though, he too joke on that tune.

Anyway it was around here that kanye began to reall irratate me i had already let him off his hissy fit at the time he wasnt feeling the love the grammys were showing him so he started threatening that if he didnt win a grammy he would wild out and do some dumb shit cos he deseved it bla bla bla. But then like i said i allowed him. I actually thought he was right and to be honest did desrve better recognition. Nonetheless he was being a spoilt dick and acting 12. I let it slide.

Then he went too far and his fucking delusions of grandeur and irritating cry baby, diva, ego maniac, i am the greatest human being in the world, number one in the planet because i say so! attitude made it that i now find it real dificult to actually listen/watch or even read about Kanye.
This will probably be my one and only post about this guy and i write it only to show you how a great talent can go to waste because of the attitude of the person that bears that talent.


The following videos speak for themselves i dont think i have to write anything to go with them. I will say this, a lot of the time he is actually right, but its the way you go about your business.

3 things.

Grow up
