So my initial thoughts on The Odd Couple are that of St. Elsewhere. I love it all but it’ll take time to sink in. I don’t know if it’s better, but it’s close thus far. My favs are well idk yet, but I’ll say, “Blind Mary” and “Neighbors” for now. Anywho you definitely need to cop the cd when it drops. Apirl 8th!!!

Suicidal Thoughts
I’m not one to celebrate the anniversary of rapper’s deaths. That being said today is B.I.G.’s. I’ll dedicate May 21 to the memory of Christopher Wallace, but I’d like to take a moment of silence for the man that would most likely have the “best rapper ever” crown if not for his death. …..(<–silence) There RIP Biggie. There’s a host of sites with dedications to Francis M to the izzz-H phenomenal so idk if I’ll up any links. Check 2DBZ.
***sidenote: i used to be absolutely obsessed with “suicidal thoughts“, so here you go.
RAAAWWWWSSSSS
So, when Teddy T said he was cop Trilla I gave him some holier-than-thou type of brush off. BUT I have read on several sites that I respect that the cd really isn’t bad. So now that I just “acquired” it I will see if I feel the same way. And if he stepped up his pen game (or just enlisted a sick ghostwriter) I’ll give him credit. But I’ll assume the beats knock and get prepared for more “Ross is the boss, BOSS!” rhyme schemes.
***I will link a couple tracks later
death of a salesman
Why does it take for someone to die to get credit? Post-Dilla he is the best ever, before only true heads thought such. Pac and BIG both got to GOD status once they died. They thought of as ‘best’ to some, but were placed above all after their passings. I just don’t get it. I don’t know about you but I don’t think Pimp C will be put up with these 2 since his death.
It’s Ova (c) Kenny Smith
LeBron absolutely served the Knicks last night. He is on another level. I mean tellin Spike Lee you gonna hit 50 is amazing. Even more so is him actually doing it. WOW. He is a MAN. MVP for sure, I can’t see him not winning MVP. If he woulda won it last year I might let Kobe slide for this year, but far and away LBJ23 is the MVP this year. I’m not gonna debate who the better player is (LBJ23) that’ll be later.
sidenote: Kobe getting Pau should hurt his MVP stock cuz he clearly has a great team to LeBron’s JV roster.
***SHOUTS to 2Dopeboyz for throwing me on the blogroll, and their continued hot content(pause?)
Strictly Leakage
So…The Odd Couple Leaked and I feel like I’m the only who doesn’t have it. Who leaks these things anyway? It’s like there can’t be any kind of build up for releases cuz you know they’ll leak and you don’t have to wait to hear the album. Except for when the Black Album leaked, and T and me had it like 2 months before it dropped. That was different; cuz the tracks weren’t mastered and we didn’t even know the names of the songs. Still though, I would like if a CD didn’t leak and I could hear it fresh when I cop it.
***the GB banner was jacked from 2DBZ
EDIT: I now have the CD. THX SHAKE!! i will still be purchasing it
best text message ever!
So I’m at home last night watching ESPN (as usual) and my phone rings. I look at the message i have received and it reads: “I told ashley that if she give me head imma make my nuts slap her
in the chin….she hung up in my face”. That shit made me laugh for like 30 minutes straight. HILARIOUS!
brain damage on the mic dont manage (c) Dr. Dre
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
