Diddy Says Kanye's Concert "Changed His Life"

In a rare video blog Hip-Hop mogul Diddy keeps it real and has a certified "Brown Sugar" moment as he recollects the story of the day he fell in love with hip-hop, how hip-hop saved his life and how Kanye West's Glow In The Dark Tour changed his life and rekindled his love for hip-hop all over again.

I may not agree with everything diddy says or does (including his contribution to producing bullshit records), but I have to give it to him on this one. He hit the nail right on the head. Everyone who say went to the Glow In the Dark Tour raved about it in the same way that Diddy did, some even called the concert Spiritual, it was that good.

Unfortunately, I haven't seen the Glow In the Dark Tour myself, but I did get a chance to experience the Heart of City Tour and without a doubt that concert changed my life indefinitely. Prior to that concert, I had reached a point with hip-hop (more so mainstream hip-hop) where I had all but given up on it. I've been in love with hip-hop music since before I even knew what it was way back in '94. Fastforward to 14 years later 2008, I was all but ready to put in my divorce papers siting inreconcilable differences between me and hip hop. But before the divorce was finalized, I attended the "Heart of the City Concert". And Jay-Z ripped it (at the Hollywood Bowl) and resurrected all those feeling that helped me fall in love with hip-hop in the first place. All I can say is......

[Hip Hop] I Still Love Her!

Check out Kanye's Track "I Still Love Her"

Weezy F. Pain

If you are anything like me then you are probably tired of this whole Weezy F. Pain character, Lil Wayne's R&B alter ego abusing the auto tune / voice box effect that T-Pain made famous. We first heard Weezy use this effect during The Drought Is Over mixtape series. And even then I was like what the fuck, but I just chalked it up to Weezy being Weezy, having a little fun experimenting, I just skipped those tracks and didn't think much of it. Then when I heard him used that effect on Shorty Lo's "They Know Remix" I realized this isn't the last we were going to hear of Weezy F. Pain. Now its seems that's the syrup addiction has finally driven the man mad, and now he is throwing this Weezy F. Pain shit on everything including the first single "Lollipop" from his highly anticipated album "The Carter 3". His first studio album since 2005. And just to add insult to injury he hops on Usher's "Love In The Club Part 2" with that same Weezy F. Pain bullshit and ruins it.

Is this really what we been waiting 3 years for The Carter 3 featuring Weezy F. Pain??? I sure the fuck hope not. I hope that when he finally does drop the Carter 3 that we dont end up with 16 tracks of Lil Wayne doing that auto-tune effect bullshit, because I cant take it. That would make the Carter 3 the most disappointing album in history by my standards. The most bark with the least bite.

Weezy if you're out there and some how you come across this blog, Im asking you as a fan, "CUT THIS SHIT OUT!!!". But don't do it for me, do it for kids Wayne! Do it for Kids!! Put down the Syrup and slowly step AWAY from the auto-tune.

Racist Obama Shirt Makes National Headlines

Just when we thought we were making progress as some would say Racism and Ignorance rears its ugly head. I'm disgusted and outraged that anyone would even print this shirt let alone sell it and even more disgusted at the animals buying them. Its one thing to not agree with a candidates stance and endorse another candidate but printing up these racist shirt is way over the line.

These mutha fuckas should get there ass whipped for some shit like this. C'mon now people this is 2008 at some point we as a whole should be above sick petty racist bullshit like this. Gas is $5.00 a gallon, the economy in a recession and Global Warming is kicking our ass....and with all that to think about you mutha fucka's are printing up racist Obama shirts, characterizing Obama a Harvard Law School graduate as a monkey...WTF?

I hope karma comes around to this mutha fucka and cuts his dick off, seriously. I understand that this piece of shit most likely grew up in the racist southern portion of the nation but this shit is just ridiculous and anyone arguing that its not is a fool and should silenced immediately by anyone in the vicinity with some sense.

Damn It, I Was There!! "The Suge Knight KO'd Story"

As many of you may know Suge Knight was knock out at Club Shag in Hollywood this past Saturday and Nigga I WAS THERE!!! The internet has been going nuts over this story. Its like a million youtube videos about it already, and even a "Suge Got Knocked The Fuck Out (R&B remix)" Video on YouTube.

The unfortunate part of the story is that my dumb ass left the club early because it wasnt poppin enough for me and I went to the Cabana Club (which was poppin), and after hearing about Suge getting knocked out all I can say is: I LEFT TOO EARLY, I missed the best part of the night at Shag. FUCK! Next time I'm at club and it aint exactly poppin, I'm gone stay my ass right there because you never know what former celebrity just might get their ass whooped INFRONT OF THE CLUB.

I've met Suge on 2 occassions and he didnt seem like the bad guy that every makes him out to be. So when I first heard the story, I was tempted to side with Suge. Like damn, why you have go and do Suge like that, what did he ever do to you?? Then I found out that Suge started this whole shit by jumping the nigga that would eventually knock him out. Suge started it and he ended it.

JUSTICE SERVED.

And as you can expect everyone and they momma will be at Shag next saturday hoping to see a rematch. There's nothing like a 300-pound gang-related former celebrity ex-record exec getting his ass whooped @ your club to give your club a much need publicity boost.

Electric Circus Part 2?? Bad Idea Revised

Common has been working on his next album reportedly without super producer Kanye West because Ye has been busy with his Glow In The Dark Tour. Common has opted to enlist the aid of The Neptunes, Outkast Producer Mr. DJ & Cee-Lo for his new EP Invincible Summer set for to be released this summer. Comm is reportedly looking to create a New elctro sound for the album. But hasn’t common already done this before with the Electric Circus? Which if I remember correctly, was common’s least well received albums and a commercial failure by most standards…Looks like Common doesn’t know when to let a bad idea go! Sheesh!

Preliminary track listing for Invincible Summer:

"Universal Mind Control (U.M.C.)"
"Make My Day" feat. Cee-Lo
"Punch Love"
"What A World" feat. Chester French
"Changes"
"Party Shit"
"Dreaming"
"Runaway" feat. Santogold

Tell Em Ye!!

Kanye responded to an Entertainment Weekly Review of his Glow In the Dark Tour on his blog Friday. Entertainment Weekly had given the prolific, outspoken and often misunderstood MC's Glow In The Dark Tour a B+, which led Kanye to let out this tirade directed toward Entertainment Weekly and its entire staff....

Yo, anybody that's not a fan; don't come to my show. For what?! To try and throw ya'll two cents in? Ya'll rated my album shitty and now ya'll come to the show and give it a B+. What's a B+ mean? I'm an extremist. It's either pass or fail! A+ or F-! You know what, fuck you and the whole fucking staff!!! I know I shouldn't dignify this with a comment, but the reviewer threw a jab at all the artists. I just wanna know when was the last time you enjoyed yourself. If you can't have fun and lose yourself at this tour it's a good chance you're a very miserable person. I actually feel sorry for you guys. Your job forces you to not have fun anymore. Grab a drink, holla at some nice girls, and party bitch!! You don't know shit about passion and art. You'll never gain credibility at this rate. You're fucking trash! I make art. You can't rate this. I'm a real person. I'm not a pop star. I don't care about anything but making great art. Never come 2 one of my shows ever again, you're not invited and if you see me...BOW!! This is not pop, it's pop art!

Yeah I'll fuckin say it....for the record I agree completely and whole heartedly with every fucking word that Ye said. Mutha fuckas have been coming at him side ways for sometime now don’t act like you don’t remember that bullshit in France when he wasn’t allowed to attend fashion during fashion week, and we all know fashion is Ye’s thing. Now this aint like them denying my black ass entry, this is fuckin Kanye West we talking about here. So its about time that Ye went off and got in someone ass and it just happened to be bullshit ass Entertainment Weekly. Ye says “You live by the sword, you die by the sword” so obvious the boy is ready to duke it out till the end for his respect.
