Month: March 2008

Detox = a myth. It only exists in rumor. I don’t believe this will ever come out. Chinese Democracy will drop before this. Also, after all this time if it isn’t the best CD in history, it’s a dud. Sorry Dre you are in a lose-lose situation. For that matter 2001 wasn’t
groundbreaking at all. I mean it serves in the whip or just bumpin it period, but lyrically it’s not GREAT. Nor was the production monumental. Dre is supposed to be that dude, but i think he is highly over-rated (sorry T). Just Blaze>Dr. Dre. There are more I can list but I’m not. Dre in 90’s> Dre post 2000.

Album covers with creativity have taken a backseat. Now they are just the artist; Just a stand-alone picture of the artist with fancy writing for the title (a la TI vs TIP*). And the booklets are pretty wack too. I mean Jay’s covers are always just him but they don’t look wack**, especially the Kingdom Come cover. I mean the red thing that kinda changes that was cool. Lupe’s The Cool was tight too. The booklet more so than the cover, but the cover wasn’t bad. Also, his cover for Food & Liquor was dope. People just don’t seem to care. BUT I think Gnarls Barkley’s cover for St. Elsewhere as well as the forthcoming Odd Couple are great, not to mention the cover for the single “Crazy“. Now look at Fat(ass) Joe’s new album cover for laughable Elephant in the Room. I think this would be better served with Fat(ass) Joe (Coke-a lmao) as the elephant( pictured above). That would be great. Remember DMX on the cover of Flesh of my Flesh… that was a grimey cover. And Kanye’s covers aren’t bad either, Graduation being the best, imo. This is getting kinda long but you get my point.

*CD sucked donkey balls
**at least not all of em

-RE-Up Gang is severely under-rated, Let alone Pusha T
-Hittman is supposedly workin on Detox, what about Ms. Roq?
-I don’t think LupEnd will be his last cd
-Fat Joe is wack and always has been, i don’t care wat anyone says
-THIS picture and caption is hilarious
-I wonder how long before Pharoahe Monch’s next LP
-Why did Lil Wayne visit his old HS if he dropped outta school @ 13 yr old? wat a role model
-And his insane addiction to Siiizzzurp, get it together. I bet that CIII will be a dud
-Fuck Dr. Dre, i expect Detox to drop….NEVER
thats all for now, more some other day

I’d like to start this one off by saying FUCK NAS!!! Now it may sound harsh, but we are still receiving backlash over his Hip-Hop is Dead non-sense (not to mention the name of the CD was a marketing ploy). If you really think anything along those lines, then FUCK YOU TOO. Seriously, you see ppl all over the nets talkin ish, why don’t you leave the HIPHOP site you’re at and go to another site. We don’t need your comments if you are one of the ignit fuck-boys that supposedly feel like our genre is “dead”. I know the mainstream has shifted to the more kiddy/nonsensical side, but I feel things will balance out, if not; well, I don’t listen to the radio and I never watch BET (fuck you too BET). Also, I REALLY hope Nas isn’t using “Nigger” as a marketing ploy. If the CD isn’t on point and doesn’t stay completely on topic then he is effd in the A.
