Yes, Soulja Boy has managed to find himself as our Nigger of the Week, again. But this time he is NOT alone.
As it goes, Soulja Boy & Bow Wow have "beef" over Lamborghini's - whose is faster or whose is rented ... they might as well be arguing over who has the bigger penis!
The reviews are in, from some very notable and well-respected publications, and yet people stil insist on trying to convince me that this movie is the best thing since The Wizard of Oz.
NYTimes-
What they have produced is a messy, lively melodrama, reasonably faithful to the facts of Biggie’s life and wholeheartedly devoted to burnishing his myth.
What really saves "Notorious" are the performances of rapper Jamal Woolard, who captures some of The Notorious B.I.G.'s playful charm, and newcomer Naturi Naughton, who dazzles early on as the fiery Lil' Kim.
The movie is forced to rush things, but Biggie biographer Cheo Hodari Coker, who co-wrote the script, gets in the essentials, starting with young Chris on the streets dealing despite warnings from his single mom (a vivid Angela Bassett).
...but director George Tillman Jr., who sweetened Soul Food, goes soft when he should go for the jugular.
Those trailers on YouTube may look promising, but don't believe the hype. "Notorious," a new biopic about the life and death of the Notorious B.I.G., feels like Biggie's Wikipedia page reformatted for the big screen. No era of the iconic Brooklyn rapper's tumultuous 24 years goes untouched, making for a frustrating dash from the playground to the grave, all in under two hours.
The experts have spoken, and it's pretty clear that this movie doesn't live up to all its hype. Not only did people hype the film, they took it upon themselves to immortalize Biggie. People have gone so far as to compare him to people like MLK and Shakespeare. REALLY???!!!!! A civil rights leader and a LITERARY genius?? He's a drug-dealer turned baby daddy turned rapper turned murder victim. Where is the glory in what he did? What disease did he cure? What great sacrifice did he make for mankind?
It is still my belief that this movie had NO BUSINESS GOING INTO PRODUCTION, and I will not stray away from that conviction. However, the disaster is done and yet people refuse to let it be, and call it was it is - a BIG mistake.
If this was such a GRAND masterpiece, where are the nominations, hmm - the Oscars, the SAGs? Why is it #7 on the box office charts, grossing slightly over $34M? Oh did we reeeeaaally think white America was going to align themselves behind this? And let's NOT play the race card - Ali with Will Smith grossed $87,713,825 worldwide, while earning 2 Oscar nominations; and Ray with Jamie Foxx grossed $124,731,534 worldwide, and was nominated for 6, winning 2 Oscars. Even that disaster of a movie, Tropic Thunder, got a damn nomination (Robert Downing Jr. for Best Supporting Actor). The truth of it is, the money-makers and movie connoisseurs saw what I saw - that this movie was a sham and a marketing ploy. While the slain Tupac Shakur has managed to release FIVE albums since his death, not to mention a number of collaborations, documentaries, et al; Christopher Wallace has done...
...don't worry, I'll wait.
The man was a good rapper. I will admit. And being from Brooklyn myself I was indeed a supporter. BUT I will not support the lies that people insist on spewing, as though he is the greatest this since color TV and cable television. He didn't "save" or "change" hip-hop. He was a part of it, and died from it. The man is no pioneer, he no saviour of any sort, and he is certainly NO MLK!!
When will this stop?
OK so I was reading through my daily blogs and forums (I get so bored at work in the morning) and stumbled upon a very interesting video that I really wish I had not seen. Take a look see.
Is this what "young money" looks like? Then I'll settle for being poor and old any day of the week, because this just doesn't make any sense. Nicki Minaj - pretty young lady with an ugly mouth - has the nerve and AUDACITY to tell people to "step their pussy up, " while she's sitting in a a room fool of hoodlums & delinquents with her breasts falling out of her shirt. As she continues to say nothing about NOTHING you can't help but wonder how many of them she's slept with. And what does it even mean to step one's "pussy up"? Does that mean sleep around me? Maybe it means to douche more frequently?
This video is wrong from beginning to end and it's a mere illustration of ignorant folk falling for their own hype.

Anthony Mackie. There's a reason he got ripped in the 8 Mile battle with Eminem - because he's NOT a rapper. But suddenly a slight resemblance 
"Like war. If you don't settle the beef on the playground you will take it out to war."
SMH! -.- VERY bad idea. People with any kind of common sense will despise the fact that he just got in the game and is mentioning a legend.
Soulja Boy's homeboys are quite some followers. They're just co-signing, not even looking at him, just being yes men. Soulja's being extremely disrespectful to the wrong dude. He's just mad and doesn’t wanna be a one hit wonder.
Soulja Boy is obviously too dense to understand that people have been saying hip hop is devolving for YEARS and Nas is merely pointing out the logic in that movement.
Hip-Hop came from the east coast; these little southern pop songs ARE NOT hip hop. Really, music like his and the Internet is why hip hop is dead. The art form isn’t being passed. HIP HOP evolved from those like Grand Master Flash, KRS, Rakim, Jay-Z. Nas just stated the obvious.
To even call any rappers who made money in the last 10 years “Hip Hop” is a travesty (there are few exceptions but I can count them on one hand). Yes, they rap. They are rappers. But they are not Hip Hop. They do rap music, not Hip Hop music. Hip hop has a message that either exposes corruption in society or in one's self. It uplifts and shines despite the world around it. It does not glorify the violence but it uses it at the backdrop to a larger sickness in ourselves, in society. Rappers like Soulja Boy, etc. glorify, degrade, pander and trade their souls for record sales. He has records dissing education and then laughs through the disclaimer. This boy is a clown and I should not even waste a minute on him but here I am. My only question is that if someone dug up a time capsule 100 years from now, do you really want the records out today to describe Hip Hop? Not I.
"Soulja", let's talk. That tap dancing bullcrap you produce is NOT hip hop, that’s Bojangles. Further, “Hip Hop Is Dead” is a reference to the “Rock Is Dead” movement, which you probably missed too, considering the incoherent jabbering and posturing you call music.
What is your alternative, hmm? Make a catchphrase that’s marketable?! Your catchphrase is “YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!” How could anyone with a brain like music with someone yelling then saying "wah me crank it wah me woll... wah me supa man de hos"? You sound like... a retard in a dumpster. If we think Lil’ Wayne is the best rapper alive and T.I. is the King of the South, what are we supposed to think about you? That you suffer from a bad case of Downs?
Now, I know a lot of people like your "music", and that's fine. Amazing to me, but everyone has their opinion. I just want to know how this is considered music: it's just noise. Such ignorance just SPEWING out of your mouth! Maybe if we learned how to pronounce words... It's not "Wah me", it's watch. Thanks.
Your political analysis is absolutely pathetic. Honestly, it’s YOU who is the “George Bush” of hip hop. Really. Sit and think about that for a second. When I found out your album had 900,000+ in sales, I had the exact thing go through my mind when Dubya was elected - America has epically failed.
And is that REALLY how you spend your time? Strutting your skinny behind around your crib half naked with two grown-ass men, hollering? Sounds like a cheap gay porn. Jesus. I honestly cannot wait for Nas to “Ether” you. His love was wasted on you. Let's not forget he was the only artist defending you when everyone else was attacking your dumb ass!
Evolution is a step forward not a step back. Know your history before you talk. “Rap is something you do, Hip Hop is something you live”: KRS One
SOULJA BOY, one, needs to spell his name right. Bird Walk... is that a classic? Ha. Where are this boy's parents?
On another note Lil Wayne did not start the saying, “I’m the best rapper alive.” ("Dirt Off Your Shoulder" anyone?)
Oh, and congrats on Soulja Boy's 1,000,000 albums sold in the first week. Wait...
