XXLMag.com | Soulja Boy Claims Nas Actually Killed Hip-Hop

Okay. So it's Nas AND the President's fault Soulja Boy's going triple plastic this time around?

“See how George Bush fucked up America? Same way what Nas did with Hip-Hop.” –Soulja Boy Tellem, S.O.D. Money Gang Roundtable Vlog, Pt. 1 via WSHH

The quote above is just one of several bass ackward, ass-ignorant assertions made by hip-hop’s “Kang of the Internet.”

Take that! Take that, you triflin’ beyotch!!!! *pours Ciroc on triflin’ beyotch*

Negro Please 2009! Ron Mexico City Records up in this bitch.

Since you missed me so much last week, we’ll be starting the week off proper-like by addressing four SDN-finalist Diddy fuck-ups at once.

XXLMag.com | Dem Franchize Boyz Gots Money to Burn

We should all be pleased to know that niggorance knows no holiday.

When Dem Franchize Boyz set that stack of $100,000 ablaze they slapped every struggling listener—er, umm—WSHH viewer in the face harder than Letisha at your favorite urban radio station’s Mindless Ghetto Violencefest.

–Even if the money was fake as fuck.

XXLMag.com | Louis Vuitton Hates T.I. Now?

“Louis Vuitton put the brakes on T.I. and his ‘Swing Ya Rag’ video because the ‘rag’ he’s talking about is a Louis Vuitton scarf. In the song T.I. raps, ‘Alright, okay, I don’t dance, no way. I just take my Louie rag out and wave it round in the air.’ T.I. says, ‘We spoke to them. The video, it’s done. But I guess it’s one of those corporate things where they don’t wanna be associated or affiliated with a certain type of brand. A T.I. video ain’t the best look in their eyes right now. No harsh feelings.’

Earlier this year Louis Vuitton won an undisclosed amount after suing Da Brat for showing a Louis Vuitton beach ball in one of her videos and Britney Spears for showing a Vuitton dashboard in one of hers.” -Rhymes With Snitch via Bossip

TIp may be taking the high road here (because he absolutely has to), but I won’t.

Yes, Tippy has been involved in fuckery of NFL-star proportion this year. (No Plaxico. No Vick.) Yes, convicted felons usually lose every endorsement deal on the table in one bank account-crippling fell swoop. Shit, ask Kobe. He lost his whole trap on speculation. Coca-Cola had Mexicans scraping Kobe off the side of Sprite cans with switchblades and house keys as soon as they heard what homeboy was accused of. However, if what’s been reported on Rhymes With Snitch is true, Louis Vuitton needs to check their pseudo-swank bullshit at the door.

XXLMag.com | Common Thinks Barack Obama Will Change Hip-Hop

“‘I really do believe we as hip-hop artists pick up what’s going on in the world and try to reflect that,’ Common explained to CNN. ‘I think hip-hop artists will have no choice but to talk about different things and more positive things, and try to bring a brighter side to that because, even before Barack [Obama], I think people had been tired of hearing the same thing.’

The rapper said his new album represents the ‘broadening’ of hip-hop’s audience — one that demands evolution rather than reworking of old beats and rhymes.” -Common, CNN via BallerStatus.net

I fucks with Common. For realsies, I do. There had even been a point in time during which I kinda wanted to be Common.

[Blogger's Note: This was definitely before LWFC and the devastating effects of Baduism. Electric Circus? Really?]

TheUrbanDaily.com | Busta Rhymes feat. Ron Browz - "Arab Money" video

I was tempted to audio blog this one out using mangled Arabic of my own, but held back.

My good buddy Sir Mance-a-lot already expressed how I feel about the song's implications, much to director Rik Cordero's chagrin. Today we finally haterize the equally flagrant and culturally insensitive visual representation of Busta Rhymes and Ron Browz's "Arab Money." [pronounced AYE-rab]

XXLMag.com | Eminem Calls Swizz Beatz a Liar

“I don’t have chemistry like that with anyone else as far as producers go — not even close,” he said. “Dre will end up producing the majority of the tracks on Relapse. We are up to our old mischievous ways … let’s just leave it at that.”

Recently New York producer Swizz Beatz told MTV News that he has submited five tracks to the Detroit rapper and hinted that they put together a sequel to Em’s 2000 hit, “Stan.”  Shady refuted the claim.

“I haven’t worked with Swizz on this album,” he said. “There isn’t a ‘Stan 2,’ and there won’t be. Stan drove his car off a bridge and I’m not writing a song as Stan’s ghost. That would just be really corny.” -Eminem, Billboard Magazine via XXLMag.com

Daaaaamn, homie. I thought "Stan 2" was a strangely horrendous idea too. Over a Swizz beat no less? I should have known that yellow rat bastard was lying.

Shame on me. I guess it turns out Swizz is the real "Stan."

XXLMag.com | DMX Marks the Spot... Scott Storch's

As previously reported by the good folks at the best hip-hop magazine site on the planet, our favorite rock lobster was pinched by the polices yesterday.

Dope fiends hide in strangest and most obscure of places. In my travels I’ve found them in curled up in car trunks, stuffed into door frames and swirling down toilet drains. What do all of these methods have in common? They actually make the vagrants in question difficult to find.

XXLMag.com | Charles Hamilton Blames Soulja Boy

–for sucking at life.

“Yeah, alright. [Soulja Boy's] a smart kid. He used the online marketing thing, whatever whatever. He had like a billion views on YouTube. Had a bunch of Myspace friends. He’s smart for using the business. What the fuck does that have to do with him ruining the opportunity of people such as Cory Gunz, Mickey Factz, Kid Cudi to be accepted in the mainstream?! I really don’t wanna hear it, honestly. And I’m not trynna play Soulja Boy, but chill. It’s because of Soulja Boy that my day-to-day–the way I live, the Sonic the Hedgehog shit that’s dead real to me is considered a joke.” -Charles Hamilton, Shade 45 radio via Thisis50.com via WSHH

…and this is how we justify our thug.

“Don’t ever compare me to that nigga. First of all, he was rich before me. So he immediately took himself out of the bracket of comparison, number one. Number two: I been on my Sonic shit before the deal. Jimmy [Iovine] did not tell me, ‘Hey, we’re trying to work with Sonic. Let’s get this g–.’ No. I’ve developed my own shit over time. I’ve been the same me. I used to dress a lot weirder and then, all of a sudden, this word ‘hipster’ came out of nowhere.” -Charles Hamilton, Thisis50.com via WSHH

Damn. These are supposed to be the enlightened niggas.

I’ve blamed Soulja Boy Tellem for several things over the course of my blogging career. I’m convinced he’s the reason it’s harder for a nigga to catch a cab in New York. You can’t tell me Soulja Boy isn’t part of the reason the white lady at WalMart in Augusta, GA speaks reeeeally slowly to me–like I’d just gotten off the damn banana boat… again.

XXLMag.com | Akon's Word is Bond... James Bond

As Ya Woy Ply would implore, please excuse my title.

“A lot of people don’t know that I’m heavily trained in martial arts. And when it comes to cars–-that’s my thing. I was raised on cars… I could do acting… It would probably take me six months to a year of training to make sure I’d get the [Bond] role.” -Akon, The Sun via AllHipHop.com

This whole Obama Mania thing got nigroes really believing they can be anything they want, huh? I mean, shit. Akon joins a long list of undeserving black entertainers who’ve thrown their 59/50 fitted caps into the search for the next bond. While Cuba Gooding, jr. & Jamie Foxx are actual actors of merit and talent, niggas like Puffy and Akon are having Rick James-esque delusions of grandeur when they say they can play a womanizing, heavy-drinking gamblin’ ass–

Hmm… Maybe they’re not too far off after all.

XXLMag.com | 50 Cent Turns Attention to Nas, Ignores Own Sinking Ship

It’s so cold in the Queens.

“Man, Nas is cold as ice. Nas is the block of ice that sunk the Titanic… I think he’s at one of those points to where his career’s finished, to be honest. He’s had some great moments and made good music in the past, but he no longer has the interest of the general public or myself.” -50 Cent, XXL Magazine

Well if that ain’t the pot calling the kettle “Nigger,” Curtis.

XXLMag.com | Beyonce is Kanye's Tina Turner

Maybe every week is gonna have to be Kanye week. :(

“Nobody really wants to recognize that Beyonce is a fucking living legend and that she is just as great, if not greater, than the artists that we had in the past…that she’s probably greater than Tina Turner.” -Kanye West in New Zealand, via Bossip

Does Kanye really think this shit or is he just doing his best to keep me busy? Here I am trying to get to this Busta shit and Kanyeezy gotta go and say some more old crazy shit.

XXLMag.com | Jim Jones is Your [Barack] Obama

No Michelle.

“Shouts to all my Obamas. The 'niggas' is out. The 'Obamas' is in. The 'bitches' is out and the 'Michelles' is in. So if your lady gets you mad you say, ‘Michelle you betta get out of here before I slap the thunder out of you.’ Nah, let me stop playing but that’s how we doing it this year. We trynna switich up the fucked up language we been saying for the past few years. It’s actually been catching on a little bit. I was on the radio yesterday and I heard somebody saying that and I was like, ‘Wow that’s a great thing if we could call each other 'Obama' instead of 'nigga.'” -Jim Jones, SOHH.com (via XXLMag.com)

Immediately following the presidential election, I smelled Jim Jones on an episode of The Negro Channel's Crap City replacement, The Deal. He'd been promoting this change in "urban" lexicon since then. Initially I paid it no mind because... well... Jimmy was doing that blunted babble shit as per usual.
