worst version: Shawn Wigs getting a solo spot in the middle of the Ghostface show, and doing a 90s medley and not doing Pokerface or Greedy Bitches at all
haha this is so WTF. Greed Bitches is a great song
WC and The Maad Circle's "Ain't A Damn Thing Change" is classic btw

Biz Markie the other week doing a Nate Dogg song in tribute and not knowing the words so blah-de-blahing half of it
Cube did a Nate Dogg tribute as well, though it just consisted of some of his songs being played and Cube saying "wish you were here with us."
Naughty by Nature did a Tupac tribute: Treach took out a bottle of Courvoisier, took several swigs from it, then poured some of it on a tattoo of Tupac that he had on his arm. The DJ played some Tupac songs, and Treach was shouting "When I ride in London, you ride in London" to the tattoo.
They also covered the first couple verses of "La-Di-Da-Di" as a tribute to the UK's role in rap history. Treach also unleashed a Dick-Van-Dyke-goes-gangsta accent whilst hyping the crowd.

You Can Do It is one of the very few rap singles that is actually improved by the censorship. "I can do it put your *spank!* into it! I can do it put your *Uhh* into it!".

decided to listen to "Arrest the President" to see if he was more inspired on Everythang's Corrupt now that Trump is here. some reviews said it was a 'return to form'. nope.
Ugh. this is BAD. the beat is terrible, like something a kid in 2006 made after watching Peter Gunn. I just remember how fired up he used to sound on his most passionate pieces on his old albums, but he sounds like he's checking his FB feed while he raps. I used
Not only is his flow lazy, but thematically, this song is all over the place, loosely connected gripes with no focus, no quotables. The song is called Arrest the President, but DJT is barely referenced in the song.
"Close your fuckin' eyes like it's day care"."they treat it like a trap house/these motherfuckers never take the trash out""Homie you play too much/these devils say too much"

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted Death Certificate The Predator Lethal Injection
These are all total classics. I listen to The Predator more often because musically it's his best record, just exploding out of the speakers, though I think Death Certificate is his best album lyrically.
He lost me with the War & Peace records that were just too disjointed and not as much fun, but he lost me before that. I remember the single before that came out, "We Be Clubbin'" from some soundtrack, a really good friend of mine - he and I made up 40% of the white people to see Ice Cube play the Apollo when he had an off-day from Lollapalooza (almost identical sets but the Apollo show was longer and he smiled a lot more at Lolla) - he told me how bummed he was.
"He's not even talking about clubbing white people," he sighed. "It's about dancing."

Yea the Peace disc is the only one of War and Peace i heard. Hated it. He'd given up by then.
Laugh Now, Cry Later's only redeeming quality was my mother coming in while the chorus "You want child support? GET IT OUT MY ASS, BITCH!" overvand over and her bursting into laughter

― j., Monday, 11 May 2020 06:49 (three years ago) link
Lethal Injection is the falloff imo, hits the one-note aggressive lyrics and swingless, dry beats of his later albums right out of the gate, just without being as bad as them. Bop Gun is OK but it's at the level of like a thrown-together new single on a best-of, not an album standout from the guy who'd been the best songwriter in the world for a few years recently.

His Twitter account has become quite something over the last few days, at least since he, inadvertently from what I can tell, posted a Qan0n referencing image and attracted some folks to his account he probably didn't want.

fans that supported him were also hash-tagging things like #blexit yesterday.
He claims the Republicans updated their platform whereas Democrats asked to wait until after the election.
hmm, wonder why the Democrats might be preoccupied with the election right now whereas the Trump admin is interested in blindly promising to do things it has no interest in actually doing.
― LaRusso Auto (Neanderthal), Friday, 16 October 2020 13:42 (three years ago) link
which isn't to say that Democrats haven't failed the Black community, but the narrative being spun by fans yesterday is "one side listened, one side brushed him aside".
this is a weird move by a dude who (quite badly) rapped "Arrest the President" two years ago. he's right that both parties have failed the Black community, yes, but it's a bit weird to approach a party you yourself admitted was downright criminal in 2018 and to report back that this party is cooperating with you, insinuating some level of trust.
