Rap Sheet: Still Ain’t Your (Soulja) Boy
- Blimy: The GZA fires up a crowd in London about commercialized Hip Hop, citing Soulja Boy and 50 Cent specifically. The Genius describes 50’s career, “You got a lot of money nigga, but you don’t got talent.” [via]
- Cursed: Hovie describes why the debate about so called controversial language in Hip Hop is utterly irrelevant, “If rappers stop cursing tomorrow, is that going to fix the ghetto or the fact that our schools are fucked-up and the living-conditions are terrible? You can’t tell me not to say nigger or shit, that’s ridiculous to me. Is that really the problem? Are you serious?”
- Finale: The night before Pimp C’s passing, he was doing it up with Too Short in LA’s House of Blues.
- Jay-Dreamin’: Songwriter-of-the-moment The Dream talks about his new album, Jay-Z’s “No Hook” track and how he wrote “Umbrella” for $7k, a far cry from the $65,000 he's pocketing for a track now.
