...one who does not align themselves with the nuances of a typical negro; they are not bourgeoisie in the contemporary sense, but in the archaic definition of the word. An Uppity Negro seeks for other Negroes to act better.
She wears many hats - video vixen, pinup model, eye candy - but should "rapper" be a title that she totes?
I understand sex sells, but apparently so does crap. I wonder how the board meeting on this one went. Sad to say that she isn't even really the Nigger of the Week; the genius who brought her into the studio thinking it was a good idea deserves that coveted U.N. title.
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 story is Soulja Boy on one of his "Rich Nigga Shit" videos (more nonsense YouTube has exposed us to & I refuse to attach the hyperlink to such foolery) he bragged about purchasing a brand new car, and paying for it cash. He went on to challenge Bow Wow to a race. Bow Wow replied, with a humorous collection of insults to Soulja's "career". This triggered yet another response, where Soulja questioned Bow Wow's ownership of his Lambo, asking to see his "papers".
Is this what "hip-hop" has become? Is this was a "beef" really consists of? O how I yearn for the days of the East Coast-West Coast rivalry. SMDH. Granted Bow Wow has been around for quite some time, so you think he'd have better sense, but then we have to remind ourselves, he's still a baby.
This could all be some elaborate publicity stunt, because it wasn't too long ago that they were bouncing around screaming "Marco polo" with one another. Regardless of the reason, this niggerish behavior has landed them in our Nigger of the Week spot.
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.
I will be the first to say that having a black President gives me that sense that in this great country of ours, anything is possible. Why is it that the people who represent us on a national stage use that opportunity to make us look foolish and ignorant?
Now from the first time I heard the song "My President is Black. My Lambo is Blue"- the two relate to each other how exactly? Was your Lambo red when Bush was in power? (Bloods & Crips analogy for those who are not hip). Then a guy I actually respected, Mr. Carter as I like to call him, remixes the song - OH NO.
This man worked so hard to remove himself from the "drug dealing rapper, turned fashion guru, turned record exec mogul" category. The man owns a part of a basketball team which would then mean he is an official business man; and you go on the national stage and represent not only your company and your name that way; but as a general brand and for argument sake, black people? What do we think that for July 4th, we're having a cook out on the White House lawn? Get Real!
Why does black have to be associated with ignorance? You know the "other people" are like "OMG what have we done?!" Let's get it together - the president is black, great; the country has hit a milestone, a moment in history, but his job remains the same. And if he fails the consequences are 10 fold.
Did I forget to mention this was at one of the "after parties"? More later!
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?
I just don't understand what young BLACK America is coming to. Is this really supposed to be the future of hi-hop or the future in general? It's really just sad to see. You have Drake, formerly Jimmy Brooks of Degrassi "midst of this fuckery" (as per Super Woman) and all you can do is shake your head. What a waste of time and talent. There's the toddler on tourette's bouncing around the room with a Lil Wayne All Access Pass instructing that we "get it "get it". And then there's the rest of the simple idiots, carrying on as though they were raised by monkeys. But if any of you have seen the movie Tarzan, you ca clearly see that even monkeys would do a better job.
Again another clear example of people falling into their OWN hype. These morons say absolutely NOTHING of substance in this video; but they had a camera and decided that we should share in their nonsense. I've decided that people make these videos, not because they believe what they're saying, but because they are desperate for publicity and attention. I refuse to believe that ANYONE is that ignorant or imbecilic.
Soulja Boy Tell’em got a scary New Years surprise when six armed men allegedly invaded the rapper’s Georgia home and robbed him and his friends at gunpoint on December 30.
A representative for the 18-year-old rapper confirmed to AllHipHop.com that he was involved in a “serious situation” on Tuesday night. No one was hurt, but the robbers claimed they used a single weapon and stole $5000 and jewelry from the “Crank That” chart-topper. Soulja Boy’s friend Jbar was also reportedly held hostage.
“Thanking God for my life,” Soulja Boy posted on his Twitter page following the incident. “Six n****z kicked in my door and tried to kill me.” The messages were later removed.
In a viral video that surfaced on the Internet (below) on Wednesday, two masked men took responsibility for the alleged robbery, admitting to following the platinum MC back to his home after his album release party.
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...
