Murder Was The Case...


-Yung Joc aka mr. it's going down can be added to the long list of stupid rappers for trying to smuggle a gun onto an airplane. Maybe he has been living under a rock since 9/11, but the last I checked they x-ray your carry-on luggage. His excuse, he never knew it was in his luggage. Maybe it's the hip hop police at it again. They secretly put a semiautomatic handgun with ammo in his luggage while he wasn't looking. They should lock him up for the full 18 mos. of his sentence and throw away the key for being stupid enough to try this and then lie about doing it. To add to this, after he got let out of jail on bail, he skips out on his arraignment and becomes a fugitive. Way to go Joc, this will really make them think you're innocent now. Stupid.

-Lil Wayne released an EP over the holidays and nobody even noticed. Maybe because Cash Money Records didn't tell anyone. Yeah, that's how it went down. The Carter 3: The Leak which was supposed to be a full LP was released on December 25 with only 5 songs making it an EP. Seems like some label politics going on to me, but Lil Wayne will finally be able to cash in on some songs that have leaked over the past year. Most notably, "Gossip" which I may add is a tight song, and if you don't already have it, you need to get it.

-In lighter news, one Christian family got a surprise when their kids received a Dipset cd instead of the Hannah Montana cd they thought they had gotten. It turns out they weren't too pleased, but I guess that's what you get when you buy your kids Hannah Montana. Expect them to file suit though against Disney for this one. Sue-happy America.

-Southern music has reached an all time high. All I can say is wooooooowwwwww...this guy's style reminds me of the aforementioned Yung Joc. Maybe he'll get himself locked up as well. His lone statement to the judge will be "wow."
Kia Shine - Wow


-The West Coast is coming back or maybe not...I saw this video on MTVu the other week and couldn't turn it off for some reason. If you figure out why I couldn't turn it off, please let me know.
The Pack - In My Car


-Well, that's all I have for today. See you all tomorrow or not. If I'm not here tomorrow I'm In My Car like The Pack but I'll have my garage doors closed because I couldn't turn that video off.

Top 5 Rap Videos

So I'm new to the blogosphere, but I figured heck why not? Which leads me to this, a blog about my life basically, but mostly rap. In order to show what type of blog this is, I've decided for my first post to give you a list of what I consider to be my top 5 rap videos at this moment. Now keep in my mind, the only videos I watch are on youtube because I hate mtv, so this list may not include Souja Boy or that garbage. Here it is:

5. Tech N9ne - Slacker

Pretty simple video. I think it portrays the video quite well as it just shows him being a slacker. Plus Tech N9ne is highly underrated as an artist. KC-MO!

4. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony - Change The World

Definitely not in the prime of their career this video is amazing. You can literally see the world change in the video. It's videos/songs like this from Bone Thugs that have me wishing Bizzy were still in the group because he absolutely killed this song.

3. Dead Celebrity Status - We Fall, We Fall

This video just creeps me out. The opening scene of the two girls is very "The Shining"-esque. Not to mention Dead Celebrity Status is a tight hip hop group.

2. Sage Francis - Escape Artist

A great non-performance video with Sage Francis chasing his shadow throughout the whole video. Great hide-and-seek game. The song is great as well, I believe he is talking about the rap industry and the over saturation that has occurred.

1. Chamillionaire - Hip Hop Police/Evening News

Just watch it and tell me it's not great. Chamillionaire would've gone platinum with this album had Ridin' Overseas been on it, but the American public has been brainwashed into Cranking Dat Soulja Boy.

That's it for post number one. Stay tuned for more hip hop news, reviews, and general talk about my life or your life, you decide.
