SOHH Dirty: Female Rappers Wanted!
2008-05-23 08:36:00 Female artist don't sell records. This is what they tell us.Yet I was wondering when was the last time you saw a label truely try to promote a female rapper. Are the labels simply saying they give up. Like forever, ever, ever. Should Lil Mama have to be out here by herself. And then as soon as we have 2 females in the same area, the first thing we all hope for is a good cat fight (not that theres anything wrong with that especially when water is involved). But whats this saying to our daughters. Think about it. Alot of these rappers are being saved by these producers. The music in Hip Hop is at an all time high. If you were to play the instrumentals of the top 20 records you would be rockin back and forth reguardless of whether the vocals were on them or not. So that being said why not promote these women for who they are, as oppose to whats between them thighs ( Not that theres anything wrong with that, we all love soft porn). They don't have to go all Queen Latifah on us but dam...

other rappers diss me, say my rhymes are sissy
2008-05-12 19:32:00 Happy belated Mother’s Day, Internet, to all you MILFs out there in particular. If you aren’t sure whether or not you qualify, here’s a quick and easy test: Go look in the mirror. Are you fat? If the answer is “yes,” then the answer is “no.” Cappice? After all, it’s MILF, not MBGLF*. The “I” is key, and you must never forget as much.

Remember that time last week when I saw the entrance for your pink line? And I got excited but when I went down I opted to ride your brown line instead, over and over for what seemed like an eternity? I enjoyed the ride so much that, when I did finally get off, I hadn’t even noticed that at some point along the way I’d transferred over to the red line. Get what I’m saying? OM...

Bentley Should Thank Rappers
2008-03-25 09:13:00 Bentley recently announced that they have set a new global sales record for 2007. They reported that they have completed their best year, selling over 10,014 units worldwide. 4196 units were for North America alone. And by North America, I think this means the good, ole’ US of A, and by USA I mean rappers. Think about it. Who are capable of buying cars priced at upwards 200,000 bucks and look good riding them? I don’t need any statistics. I KNOW that a big fat thanks is in order here. Come on Bentley. Don’t you dare go all high and mighty on the kids from the ghettos that made it big and bought your overpriced but extremely well-made cars. How much will it take? Certainly not as much as an Arnage or a Continental or even a Coupe. A little gratitude goes a long way.

I have never heard Ricky speak before, but I must admit that this man drops some serious words of wisdom. Rick Ross album Trilla was released yesterday. thanks Rory! In this edition Rick Ross endorses Barack Obama and dicusses the perennial allure of a girl in a pair of Air Max. Rick Ross informs the viewers that you can't throw your peanuts on the floor at Rick's restaurant. Last but not least, Rick Ross teaches mathematics, death threats always = bullshit.

Authentic Rants :::: Mis-concept-ions of an Art-form
2008-03-04 02:24:00 Driving down the road the other night I decided to put on the radio and listen to my favorite variety station that will go unnamed. A Rap song was blaring from the radio just before the announcer cut it off to give us his take on the song. Stating "This music is trash and never will be anything worthwhile to ever come from it." I could not help but to be alarmed that a radio Jock had the balls to say what he really felt about a song. He went on to say that "it should have ended a long time ago, that Rappers such as Soulja boy are not artist and pretend to be a part of the art/music community", and "get away with it by dubbing themselves as entertainers." He said this because he was uneducated about Rap/Hip-Hop as a whole. Someone needed to school him, I am writing this in hopes that I can reach him and people like him.I cant help it but to agree with his sentiment, but I have done some research on the subject of whether or not, the style of rap that is performed by Soulja Boy is an...

Rappers blame Reagan for black and Latino poverty
2008-01-21 03:30:00 Why would less taxes, lower unemployment, and lower interest rates hurt blacks? Beats me. Since Reagan was so bad for Latinos, immigration during this time must have been very low (Ha!). What this genius meant to say was that people who didn't work failed to see their income rise as much as that of people who did. Isn't his drift kind of insulting? Those blacks who followed Regan's advice did very well, according to Larry Elder: ...Reagan's policies hurt black people, wrong again. Under Reagan, black adult unemployment fell faster than did white unemployment. Black teenage unemployment fell faster than did white teenage unemployment. And blacks started businesses at a rate faster than did whites, with the pace of revenues exceeding that of whites. In 1981, the nation's poverty rate stood at 14 percent. It declined to 11.6 percent in 1988, Reagan's last year in office. Perhaps Giuliani, who was serving under Reagan at the time, should have come on the scene to clean up t...

Beatles For Sale: Rappers, Brands Turn to Fab Four
2008-01-02 07:54:00 Share on StumbleUpon: It's perfectly legal, but it will still seem to some listeners like the sound of someone making off with England's crown jewels.On rap collective Wu-Tang Clan's new single "The Heart Gently Weeps," a Santana-style rock guitar opening gives way to an almost celestial chorus of something very familiar. There, and throughout the track, is the unmistakable melody of George Harrison's timeless contribution to the Beatles' "White Album" from 1968: "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."

Rappers join models in insisting on euros
2007-12-04 06:31:00 Pay attention as you watch the catchy new music video from the mega-star rapster Jay-Z, "Blue Magic", and see if you can't spot the product placement. It is not a fancy car that he is endorsing ? although both his rides, a Rolls- Royce and soft-top Bentley, are plenty spiffy ? but rather a currency ? and it is not the dollar. Like so many in the hip-hop genre, the song is a celebration of ostentatious wealth. But capturing the attention of commentators in this clip, shot in the glimmering, neon-lit canyons of New York City, are the repeated glimpses of flickering wads of ?500 notes. Jay-Z has thus performed a currency defection: the dollar is not just down, it is out. The euro is the new bling.

4 Moneymaking Lessons Rappers Teach Us
2007-10-30 14:01:00 The Monetizer is a fan of rap and hip-hop, and thinks it's funny how the music often gets a "bad rap" (no pun intended). Sometimes it seems as if society, Bill O'Reilly and other individuals label the music as the root of all evil. Despite all the controversy and drama we see in the headlines though, rap stars can teach us money making bloggers and online monetizers a lot. Stars like Outkast, 50 Cent, Jay-Z and The Game all have taken successful rap careers and turned them into so much more, and seem to emphasize some common concepts which can be used when you think about blogging or creating online moneymaking ventures.1) Rappers have money on their minds - Monetizer isn't generalizing here, but there's more than a few rap songs that mention the importance of money. Some people put it before all else. While this isn't the best way to live your life, if you're trying to make money online it should be your attitude online towards your blog, site or product.

Editorial: When rappers disappear and come back
2007-10-09 21:25:00 I'm a big fan of Jigga but when you retire that usually means you have accomplished all that you can and you don't want to do it anymore. So when Jay retired the public assumed he was tired of rapping. Then he comes back again and again. What do you have to prove. Now that your fans are confused as to why they should still support you when you said you were done with it. When people see Jay come back it's like, oh him again. You did it to yourself Jay, people aren't into the music like they used to be. We will see when this album drops if people still have the same love for Jay but if you love hip-hop don't leave because the fans are fickle enough.Get the latest news on Jay Z here

2007-09-06 20:00:00 Do any of you think 50 would have worked with Justin Timberlake in the Get Rich Or Die Tryin days? At the time, Justin was still releasing videos off his first solo album, Justified. Cool, he worked with the Neptunes and Timbaland. And ok, we liked some of those singles. But I doubt anyone in hip-hop would have felt comfortable working with him at the time. When asked about the timing of his Timberlake collaboration, Fif stressed that he never worked with much G-Unit outsiders. |
