So no Nor'easter here in NYC this passed weekend, but the porn, food and blunts did not go to waste. Your boy doesn't waste anything! It's brick ass cold though today. I was walking my pit and she didn't even want to be outside, she was like "Homie, you know better then to take me out in this sh--." And then we did the waltz. Yeah, aight! LOL
This is BIG!!!
50 CENT TO SPEARHEAD LL COOL J'S LATEST ALBUM!!
Yes, that's right folks! The head of G-Unit, which as everyone knows is distributed through Interscope Records, is A&R-ing Def Jam vet, LL Cool J's newest joint! I heard Method Man was quite surprised when he went into the studio with LL to record a song for the album to find that Mr. Vitamin Water himself was behind the G.O.A.T!! What's the motivation behind both 50 and LL for this union? I'll keep you posted!
MOBB DEEP UPDATE!
Ok, so last week I told you Mobb Deep was dropping late 2008, but that's not going to happen with P in the clink. But we are getting that solo album while Prodigy is incarcerated and guess what!? It's not through KOCH. Where will H.N.I.C. 2 drop from?
WACKO JACKO LOOKIN' LIKE HE'S THE NEW SPOKESMAN FOR JOHNSON & JOHNSON
Ok, wtf is this? Son! Seriously, dude went out in public like this? He needs one of those plastic face masks like Richard Hamilton on the Pistons! This is just sick, I'd vomit if I saw this guy out and about like he looked normal. And he brought his three kids out with him! Man those seeds came from bad soil! Team of murders and child abusers. Okay that was harsh but I'm sayin'!
PAP SMEARED AGAIN
Looks like Pap just can't get away from this Uncle Murder beef. Here we have a video of Papoose getting sucker punched from the back. Who does that anyway? It's already a sucker punch, but you gotta take it from the back too! Punk! Anyway, check out the clip. I want to know what happened to the footage after he swung! Pap looked like he was coming for duke!
INDIAN SPIDER BABY!!!
I don't wish this on anyone, but doesn't it seem like this mutant crap only happens to Indians and Arabs? Very strange. This baby was born with her dead Siamese twin still attached to her, but,this isn't the typical side by side detachment. Her twin was coming out of the bottom of her body. I'm hearing they've successful detached the dead twin. Check out this video though. What kills me is when the father starts stroking the nubbin where his deceased daughters head would've been.
IT'S WIKI WIKI TIME!!!
I thought this was very interesting! Here's a list of all the albums that got 5 mics from The Source magazine ending with Lil Kim's Naked Truth. Oh and did you know that there was rumors that Lil Kim's former manager was dating Dave Mays at the time. There's always been some slander and scandal at The Source! That's why we love it so much!
The Source's Five Mic Albums
The "Record Report" is a special feature in the publication in which journalists rate albums. Ratings range from one to five mics paralleling a typical five-star rating scale . An album that is rated at four-and-a-half or five "mics" is considered by The Source to be a superior hip-hop album. Over the first ten years or so, the heralded "five mic" rating only applied to albums that were universally lauded hip hop albums. A total of 43 albums have been awarded five mics; a complete, chronological list is below.
