I'm tired of hearing about how all these rappers spend their money at the bar on ugly bitches, or cars and houses that end up getting repo'd in 2-5 years (shoutout to MC Hammer). Now I remember when the music had stories and tales, "inspired by true events" and even the ones that weren't but were of relevance to the audience and gave them something to work with. My problemo is that these 'artists' are missing the big picture. Now, don't get me wrong, I love money just as much as the next person, and fuck you if you say otherwise cause you know how good it would be with some extra pesos in your pocket.
Artists are just getting so used to the taste of that money that they are forgetting (or forgot) what it was like to spit a hot 16. I don't think many of these artist out now are hungry and could possibly be on Atkins or something. Anyways, when The Chef said, "you haven't been hungry since 'Supreme Clientele'", it got me thinking. If you don't already know, Raekwon's "inspirational speech" was taken from the fight when Rocky was about to take on Mr. If you haven't heard it, knowledge yourself. It's 2:07am right now and I got the Ipod on shuffle. We will try to 'Thank You Later'.Īt least let me tell you why im this way, hold on. No wonder people bootleg.Īnd Big Tig said this is what's good for hip-hop? Shame Tig, I actually wanted Rap City back, but not anymore. Listen, I understand when you got to do your hustle to make some cash, but this shit is ridiculous. I think he needs to diddy bop his lame leg back into the degrassi wheelchair and milk some money that way, cause this is just some bull shit. Are you laughing out loud like I am? SEVEN? SEVEN? SEVEN? And he has the nerve to try and sell the cd with SOME unreleased tracks. The retail version, has only 7 (due to sample clearances). I hope you can do the math and compare $9.99 to, well i dunno.FREE. So this great businessman realised, hey, since my mixtape was such a hit and been out for about a year and some change, lets RE-RELEASE it and while we are at it CHARGE MONEY. It had some good songs, specifically the ones with Trey Songz and the track with the dilla production, other than that, its a one-above par tape.
He reminds me of a light skin Ray-J minus the sextape (but there is always time for that). So, your telling me that this kid is the best that's out there just because what he says sounds good and it must be good cause all he has out is a mixtape and oh shit! he was on tv? Please. I love it how he goes on the 09' BET Awards, where barely any awards were given out by the way, and Queen Latifah, Big Tiggah (I thought Tig would have more sense) and Jamie Foxx boost this kid, saying how they haven't heard someone with such lyrical content and sounding so good and have only a mixtape out with no major release. So if you haven't realized, here is my problem with Drake. He has kids on his label like he is starting hip-hop Chuck-E-Cheese. Im not going to go off on Millz cause that "No, No, No" joint was the truth, but it really doesn't take much to impress this guy. Carter (no Jay-Z) and getting him to sign Drake to Young Money/Cash Money Records. I give him credit, cause he must have some talent impressing Mr. Seriously, that shit was crazy on any level, and would get me gas'd to approach a girl and ask the same question (probably on like 5 drinks tho). I only had that face ONCE, with his line, "Are any of y'all into girls like I am les-bi-honest". You know that music when its live and the rhymes are bananas that you make a skrew face like Hov when he just heard a new beat. When his mixtapes started dropping I always cop'd them just to see what was good and to see if his flow was improving. Im not gunna front, the show was live especially all the shit leading up to when wheelchair Jimmy earned his name. I used to watch Degrassi whenever it was on and saw the acting side of this new phenom/fad. Correction, his music was AIGHT (quote me on it). At first, I was some what of a fan of Aubrey "Drake" Graham.
