Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread
Like I said, just my thoughts (i.e. who I like), and since it's my thoughts I think it's rated appropriately...
Plus I'm lazy, so I only did the two brackets that I thought were the strongest given that I have a strong East-Coast/Midwest bias in the hip-hop I listen to (though there were alot of EC/MW rappers in the Pun bracket).Comment

That track is hard. Guess I gotta add LAX to my list also, because I just heard his other song 'My Life' and it's hot too.
Probably should've had a real singer do the hook tho. I'm kinda OD'd on WayneXbox 360 GamertagRAW 910

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread
I've been waiting on L.A.X. for a minute man... that album needs to drop. It keeps getting pushed back though.
Has anyone heard the Royce da 5'9" CD The Revival? It's a damn good album. Premier laced him. If Royce would sign with Nas' label, and Nas and Premier would drop that collabo album I've been dreaming of, I would be extremely happyComment

"Rapper The Game has denied attacking his pal Eminem in a new track leaked online - insisting his lyrics have been misinterpreted. The single My Life, from his forthcoming L.A.X. album, is a collaboration with Lil Wayne.That track is hard.

He was rumored to be referring to Eminem and his 2002 movie 8 Mile, in the line: "All the pictures of me and Em, I burned them / So there ain't no proof I walked through 8 Mile."
But the Dreams hitmaker is adamant that the song is not a slur on Eminem - insisting it is about his relationship with late D12 rapper Proof, who was shot dead in his native Detroit, Michigan in April 2006.
The Game tells AllHipHop.com, "When I originally wrote the song My Life, I was trying to think back on events that affected my life and how they changed me. I remember when Proof died vividly and now every time I think about going to Detroit I get depressed.
"That is what I was trying to say in that verse and the more I looked at it I
realized that people would take it the wrong way…the way they are taking it now that it leaked."
The Game has now changed the song - scrapping the controversial lyrics - and apologized for any offense his words may have caused.
Referring to the leaked tune, he adds, "This is not the version on my album, this is not the version that radio will get. Furthermore, I apologize to anyone who took this the wrong way as that was never my intention." "XBL: DTX3

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread
Freeway Ricky Ross speaks about the rapper Rick Ross:
Incarcerated former drug kingpin “Freeway” Ricky Ross has decided to break his silence on the recent revelations into the past of the rapper that bears his name, Miami artist Rick Ross.
Since the rapper’s debut, many have wondered of a possible connection, since the artist not only bears the name of the former kingpin, but also sports a similar beard and cites stories of extensive drug and criminal activity in his rhymes.
Now that the rapper, real name William Roberts, has been confirmed to have worked as a correction officer, the original Ricky Ross tells AllHipHop.com that he attempted to steer his rap counterpart away from public embarrassment.
“After seeing all the stuff that has been going on with the Correctional Officer (William Roberts) that stole my name, [it] makes me think back to a year and a half ago when we spoke,” Ross explained to AllHipHop.com. “I tried to talk to him like a big brother and let him know to be you, and that he couldn’t be me. And that if he wanted to rap the lifestyle that he couldn’t frame it based on my life.”
Roberts has repeatedly denied that he based his music persona on the real Ross’ criminal exploits.
Ross, who today regrets the actions that helped destroy his community and land him in prison, can only shake his head at the unnecessary predicament Roberts has put himself in.
“How different his life would have been if he would have taken my advice,” Ross reflected. “You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time.”
In the early and mid 80’s, Ross controlled most of the Los Angeles drug trade, and had ties to the Iran-Contra scandal due to his suppliers.
In 1996 Ross was sentenced to life in prison for attempting to purchase over 100 kilos from a federal agent.
He successfully appealed and had his sentence reduced to 20 years.
Ross is scheduled to be released on August 13, 2010.#RespectTheCultureComment
