and married = am married

i love the beat on that clipse song...but their verses aren't really that hot...reusing shit like "keys like a janitor" lines c'mon, it seems coasting even for them

speaking of vibe, guess who showed up in the nyt today...

“I don’t think Middle America got interested in him because his mixtapes were so great, but they forced serious rap fans to care about everything he was doing,” said Sean Fennessey, the music editor at Vibe. “Then he landed on a pop hit with ‘Lollipop,’ which was something he had never been able to do before. And between that and the serious rap fans, it became an event.”

I heard Dame Grease and Sean C & LV were gonna be their new producers that would be a good look but there's obviously a reason they went with this sound for their street single

getting a scott storch beat for your street single is even more backwards

i don't think it's for commercial reasons I think maybe this is just the sound their feeling not the grimy/nu-NYC soul American Gangster type of shit that I was hoping for

they should get the dude who played Stringer Bell to produce their whole album

yeah we'll see. i've loved the clipse so far. but i'm wondering how far i can handle their very very very limited lyrical outlook in the long term.

I don't know there's still a lot of territory to be explored in the subject of women's footwear

pusha t is gonna try his hardest though

yeah i guess it's maybe more just how GRIM and serious they are all the time....but who knows, i mean i still always check for prodigy shit and he's one note too, but a little more eccentric

ok this Storch beat is a bad look, dude just gave them the same beat he gave R. Kelly 3 years ago.

atlantic to saigon: "make ringles or get lost"

oh shit 'some dude' is alexmore bodyland

lol well I think you just gave me my next screenname

lol u knew it was alex because he recognized a storch beat used by kells

clipse sound like diddy on fast life.

that taped conversation between young buck and 50 that they leaked on thisis50.com is probably getting LOLz everywhere like 'waht a faget crybaby' but it kinda breaks me heart...it's like now that records don't sell it seemed like a real window into how desperate it must be for some of these dudes...like when he's talking about all the money he owes 50 and trying to make balloon payments on his back taxes and everything and trying to manage his own label and shows...like i'm sure there's all these family members and managers and hangers-on thinking yr supposed to be rich like in the videos and stuff...ug...feel for the dudes

ill break me heart

i agree w/ matt but buck's not exactly going out of his way to not perpetuate the idea that he's a rich dude w/ 5 aston martins etc

Because that's his job, J0rdan

breaks me heart and me lucky charms.

no yeah i know he's pretty low key overall but still i can imagine when yr down with g-unit and on mtv and shit that ppl around you have expectations...i'm sure you'd just die if you saw all the bullshit that was written into management and record contract with g-unit type deals...it's gotta be a fucking nightmare

xpost

"Rodney Dangerfield isn't exactly perpetuating the idea that he's a man with a formidable amount of respect"

I seriously bet 50 Cent gets a percentage of every single dollar he makes in any capacity. And Eminem probably takes a cut of that. And Dre takes a cut of that.

and then there's interscope....and whoever buck's management is....

i remember that thing where q-tip showed how he made like 30 grand after three years on the last tribe record or some shit.

Go indie, folks. Jim Jones signing to a major after "We Fly High" was the dumbest fucking move.

haha maybe he'll be crying too next year

BAWLLLIN!

Young Buck has always reminded me of the episode of the Simpsons where Lisa predicts football games, all that empty, slightly desperate bravado. "Look at the fear in his eyes, listen to the quiver in his voice. He's a little boy lost in a game of men."

Even Buck's conspicuous consumption boasts were always pathetic lapdog shit... how the fuck can you say something like "I got a Bentley that I only drove one time/ 50 bought it for me shorty but it's still mine" with any dignity?

Whiney were you waiting around a year and a half for someone to set you up for that "bawlin'" joke until you finally just set it up for yourself?

^^^ maybe not a good look

the la chat mixtape from a couple years back was hard as hell, kinda anticipating this shit. the o.g. slob on my cat is the rawest female blowfly-style fuck-me joint ever - "met two niggas, said they wanna fuck / one lick my pussy, the other lick my butt"

saw T.I. live last nite

06. Slob On My Cat II

alright Slob On My Cat II

haha xpost

am0n have you heard DJ Tigga's Baltimore club version of "Slob On My Knob/Cat" with all the random Stewie from Family Guy samples?

http://slobonmycat.ytmnd.com/

lol no

is this it http://www.imeem.com/renegades08/music/gq3fXH_t/kswift_slob_on_my_knobdj_tigga/

can't listen at work but it looks like it

my one regret when I interviewed Tigga is not asking "why Stewie?! wtf"

yeah i hear stewie sample towards the end saying "what the hell are you doing" i guess he's the 00's bart simpson

"what the hell is this" rather

I think K-Swift played that on the radio for like 2 years before the powers that be noticed the lyrics and started cracking down on edits of the dirtier club songs.

I understand why Wale would want to be photographed next to Jay-Z any time the opportunity presented itself, but it really just makes me go "is that Memphis Bleek?". NAGL.
