Black Love is Beautiful!

I'm in Love With Black Love

OK I know I'm a week or two late with this post but I just had to say something quick about how much I love this picture! it just genuinely seems to me that they are a team and in love!



OK so it may seem like kind of a soft post, but I'm strong enough to do it.
Honestly I see nothing wrong with me romancing the thought of True Love! Though I may not be in it and I don't seem like I will be anytime soon. I am a hopeless romantic who thinks about Love sometimes and romances the thought of being romantic with the love of my life Whomever she may be in the future!!!

Soulja Boy+HipHop= DEATH to HIP-HOP

Recently on a mixtape LEGENDARY rapper Ice-T had this to say

In June 2008, Ice-T criticized Soulja Boy for "killing hip-hop" on DJ Cisco’s Urban Legend mixtape. In the mixtape, Ice-T said, “Fuck Soulja Boy". Eat a dick. This nigga single handedly killed Hip Hop.” He then criticized "Crank That", saying, "That shit is such garbage man. We came all the way from Rakim, we came all the way from Das EFX, we came all the way from motherfuckers flowing like Big Daddy Kane and Ice Cube, and you come with that Superman shit? That shit is garbage.” Ice-T also goes after Hurricane Chris (rapper), saying, “Hurricane take them fucking beads out of your hair nigga. Man up. You niggas is making me feel real fucking mad about this shit.

I found this truly hilarious and wondered why it took so long for someone prominent to the game to say this shit!!!(excuse my language) But I had been saying this for so long my peers agreed but it just seemed like no one in the Game (past or present) was addressing it until The LEGEND Ice-T.

Soulja Boy's Response



So after watching this Soulja Boy Got less respect from me because I just feel like he should not have said anything. His groupies made him look whack and him Disrespecting a legend and not just keeping his mouth shut didn't surprise me "kids these Days" his response was not funny and sounded like a Cry for help! (maybe he knows he can't rap?)

But on the other hand he did make a couple good points
*I respect Soulja boy's entrepreneurship mindset and the fact that he made it
* Ice T really didn't have to tell the little kid to "Eat a Dick"
* and maybe he was sort of right when he said Ice T could have reached out to him and helped his skills

But then I started to realize little kids like that very seldom take well to advice they must mature first, just listened to how he responded(CHILD)....... Then Ice T responded with this Video



This was the perfect response and I Felt that this in fact is what Ice-T should have put out in the first place!
Much respect to this Video!
*Especially at the end when his says "I'm 16 EAT A DICK soulja Boy"

he is a fad that survived off of Kid's and White people
Soulja Boy is POP and A blatant disrespect to the art form of HIP-HOP, if u want to make dance music do so and name it such! but when u take Rhythm and Poetry and change it to make it whack! you are in Fact trying to Kill HIP HOP (which I think will never Die because of other strong Artist) but I wish u would Resign from making music or study the game and start producing something that sounds respectable!!!!
so now I just can not wait for this mans 15 minutes to fade out!
I hope he saved some money!!

Power Shift!

Hottest Rapper in the Game is


Lil Wayne

REASONS WHY
*Fact Lil Wayne has held the Most anticipated album title for two years str8 in anticipation for the Carter 3
*Fact Lil Wayne has tied the record with T-pain for most songs in the top 100 at 1 time with 7
*Fact The Hip Hop industry has seen a 21% decrease in record sales in 2007
*Fact Lil Wayne sold 413,000 units after day one of the release of the Carter 3
*Fact According to Billboard, Tha Carter III is the first album since 50 Cent’s The Massacre in March 2005 to break a million copies sold. Kanye West’s Graduation came the closest, selling 957,000 units its first week in September 2007.
* Fact making the Carter III Platinum after just one week
* Fact Lil Wayne had 77 tracks in 2007 with out a repeat Verse (More than any rapper in one year to date)
*Opinion Lil Wayne is the Hottest Rapper out as out with all those facts to back it

One can tell that Lil Wayne is a student of the game, He is reminiscent of Rakim "the Great". Rakim Fathered a style!!! His delivery, His flow, the way that he rode the beat and made people feel every thump,Rhyme,Metaphor,simile, was unprecedented! a New Style and Voice just made for a smooth ride on any track!

Lil Wayne's Flow,Delivery ,Punchlines, and the way he rides a beat are that of most of the greats in the history in hip-hop. It just makes for an easy listen and catch phrases that last for years!

Lil Wayne brought about a change in the game as well
With the birth of the Carter II BAPE was the hoodies of choice and MOB was a slogan posted on even white boy's Facebook/Myspace pages. The Age of rockstar style has also been fostered by Lil Wayne

two the people that say that Lil Wayne says nothing in his rhythms or cannot stay on one Topic you must not have listened to the following tracks "just to name a few"

* Earthquake-Carter I
* Hustler Musik-Carter II
* Georgia... Bush-Dedication II
* The Sky is the Limit- Da Drought 3 disk 1
* Crazy-Da Drought 3 disk 2
* 1st Key-Like Father,Like Son
*MY PERSONAL FAVORITE I Like Dat- Lil Weezyana

But there is just to many for me to name!!!


Comparisons LIL Wayne is a mixture




Tupac- Similar attitude to the thug life mentality and Style with the ability to connect to the hood and bring about sensitive contious songs! (Reference to Blood gang/Tattoos/ and Style)




Rakim- "refer to the top of the Blog"


Jay-Z- Swagger ( When Jay Changed styles others did as well)


Kanye West- Ingenuity and Creativity









So now with all of this being said it is time to be honest, I was not a Wayne fan when he first came in it took me a long time to start respecting his craft, but it is undeniable! even if u hate Wayne there is atleast 1 song that you do like! he is the Rapper of now!

The Greatest of there time
80's Rakim-KRS-1

Early 90's Biggie-Tupac

Late 90's-early 00's Jay-z-Nas

Now 04'-now Kanye-Lil Wayne!!!
