Dope or Nope 1/30: My President is Black Redux
30 01 2009Young Jeezy feat. Jay-z – My President is Black (Remix)
Last week after Barack’s inauguration, Jay-z spat over the “My President is Black” instrumental labeling it the DC-Mix. This time around, Jeezy remixes the historical track and adds a new verse specifically for Bill ‘O Reilly and Dennis Miller.
Last week during Washington’s festivities, Jay and Jeezy celebrated the entrance of Barack and the exit of Bush. Hip Hop’s biggest fan Bill O’Reilly and Dennis Miller had this to say: Vodpod videos no longer available.
Moving right along…

What’s Beef: 50 Cent Vs. Rick Ross
30 01 2009
50 Cent – Try Me (Officer Ricky)
And so it begins! Earlier this week Ross’ street single “Mafia Music” hit the net (unfortunately Blogger took my shit down and did NOT let me know, them and their damn surprises) and Ross makes a reference to 50’s house being burned down by his Babymoms. Fifty, being the villainous artist that he is, thrives off of disses and any subliminal lines there’s no hesitation in him responding. One would think shortly after being exposed as a C.O. and having contradictory lyrics, Ross would keep a low profile from dissing. 50 uses Rick Ross’ prior career as the theme to this diss track and also disses Khaled and calls out Wayne. Thank Rick Ross for help promoting Before I Self Destruct.

What’s Beef: Rhymefest Vs. Charles Hamilton
30 01 2009
Interscope’s latest signee is apparently making a name for himself. From his signature infatuation with Sonic the Hedgehog and the color pink, he’s gaining attention from hip hop artists and it’s audience. Not all of the recognition is positive. First there was the ridiculous beef with Soulja Boy which only lasted for a couple of weeks. After the feud with two obviously incomparable rappers ended, Charles Hamilton acquired some new foes.

Seeing is Believing 1/29 – Kiss’ Letter to B.I.G.
30 01 2009Jadakiss feat. Faith Evans – Letter to B.I.G.
Recently I uploaded a fan-made video for Letter to B.I.G., this time it’s official. The joint appears on both the biographical Notorious and Kiss’ upcoming album The Last Kiss. Unintentionally, Jada started a trend with these “letter” tracks. First Maino writes a letter to Pac, Lil Cease writes a letter to B.I.G. as well, and other artists have written letters to Big L, Pun and hip hop. One of the most funniest dedications is a “Letter to Gary Coleman” by a rapper name Don Cerino who’s clearly tired of all the “Letter” tracks floating around.

Criminology ’95 Vs. Criminology ’09
29 01 2009Raekwon and Ghostface – Criminology ’09
This is what the games been missin’, some Wu shit! In ’95 Raekwon the Chef dropped the classic Only Built 4 Cuban Linx aka the Purple Tape. 14 years later, the follow up Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 is supposed to be released, and the first taste of what the Chef is cookin’ up is the ’09 version of his single with Ghostface “Criminology”. It’s a dope re-issue of the ’95 joint but they had to bring it back for those who forgot about the Wu duo. Which goes harder?

Dope or Nope 1/28: The Return of Lil Jon
28 01 2009Lil Jon feat. The Game and Ice Cube – Killers
I’m not going to front, I miss the old crunk days. Lil Jon had the club joints on lock and if you had some subs in your trunk, a Lil Jon album was a must. This time around, Lil Jon hooks up with The Game and Ice Cube to sound off on censorship in music. On a side note, what ever happened to Crunk Rock?
Im’a throw this in just for the hell of if it…
Vodpod videos no longer available.
