2009 Rap up

"I cant watch Monique, cuz she yells too much"! LMFAO!! If that aint the realest statement i've ever heard. But enough with that! This will probably be my last post for the year and I think i had a pretty good run: "I've touched on everything but little boys...and thats not a stab at Michael, I'm just Psycho"said Eminem. Terrible line, but clever regardless. Anywho, instead of me wrapping up what happened this wonderful year, take a listen at this rapper. He does this every year and every year dude goes HARD! I'm just gonna be lazy and let his words speak on my behalf. i can honestly say, I agree with him 108%. He lost the other 2% on the Real Housewives of ATL. I dont watch that ish! Happy New Year folks! I'll catch you all on the black hand side!

Throwback Thursday

I didn't realize how raunchy Left Eye's verse was until now! LOL! But regardless, happy holidays, Kwanza, Hanukkah, and my fav: Christmas! Even if Christ was born in May...or June. Hey, he was born right? Alright! Dont judge. Be safe.

I Thought Weezy was the Best?


Ass hole. Jerk. Arrogant. Gay. Rude. These are just a few names that Kanye has been called in the past few months. From his rifts with 50cent, to Taylor Swift, to even President George Bush, this man has done nothing less than make great music. This is why his album was listed as the number one album of the DECADE, by Entertainment Weekly. Now, a lot of you are probably thinking "No the hell it wasn’t". I did too! Especially when I think of the best album I heard over the years, Estelle rings a bell, The Dream, Musiq freakin Soulchild and others have put out spectacular albums! But when you think about it, none were as nearly as risky as the College Dropout. I've mentioned in previous blogs before of how this kid from middle class america just ran to the top of the rap charts faster than a squirl going for that nut! This was unheard of prior to Kanye. Not only were his beat genius, but he had the lyrics and flow of a Mos Def or Common, with lyrics as open and honest as "But I ain't even gon act holier than thou/Cause fuck it, I went to Jacob with 25 thou (thousand)/Before I had a house and I'd do it again/Cause I wanna be on 106 and Park pushing a Benz/I wanna act ballerific like it's all terrific/I got a couple past due bills, I won't get specific/I got a problem with spending before I get it/We all self conscious I'm just the first to admit it". Kanye was saying that, when other rappers rapped about how they just love to floss just because. His presense alone has paved the way for artist like Lupe Fiasco, Drake, Big Sean and other rappers who may not come from poverty stricken homes but have the skills of a mad rapper. To Kanye, I say congrats! It's well deserved.



Check out his blog to see what he had to say about this honor:
A few other albums that made the top ten list were Beyonce...I am Sasha Fierce and Jay-Z the Blueprint.
