What Is Kanye Thinking?

October 20, 2008


I respect Kanye West’s “new sound” and what he is bringing to hip hop and all. I understand that maybe he just doesn’t give an ish what we think, and he is just singing for himself… but this could have been handled in a better way…

I’m just going to come right out and say it, Kanye West can’t sing. And as long as we are on the subject, if you have to use an auto-tuner, you KNOW you can’t sing. So what the hell is he doing?

One thing Kanye CAN do is hook up a beat like no other. He could have easily produced this album, written the lyrics, and gotten some of the best vocalists out there to drop the verses for him.
For example, the first single Love Lockdown. That was a good song; the beat was bumping, the lyrics were a bit questionable, but still good. If he had gotten somebody else to sing that it would have been off the chain. I mean, I know you can’t imagine it know that Kanye already did it, but if he had gotten a real vocalist to do that track, it could have been 5x better.
Am I overreacting on this or do you guys actually want a singing/auto-tune filled Kanye album??
Hit up the poll…

Kanye’s New Sound


Good


OK


Wack


WTF Is He Thinking?!


HHP Contest??

October 19, 2008


So I got an idea this morning for a contest hosted by TheHipHopost.

Let me pitch it to you…
• I gather some artists on the come up and give them all a beat to drop a verse over.
• All the tracks get posted on the site and YOU vote for the best.
• The winner gets featured on the site for 2 weeks or so which would be good exposure for an artist trying to get their name out there.
What do you think?
Yea or Nay?

New Eminem

October 16, 2008


Eminem is back.

What, Not Surprised?


Me Neither.
So apparently Em’s album has been confirmed as a 2008 release and will be titled “Relapse”.
Check out this Guess Who’s Back “Freestyle” released a couple days ago…

Hit The Jump For Lyrics…

Damn it feels good to be back. I’m having a relapse
how the hell did he manage to get more felony charges
he’s already got life in jail man what the hell is his problem
well to be honest, the smell of these chronic leafs make me hella demonic
they compelled me to kill this elderly man
and I get these panic attacks,
pop a xanax relapse
tryin to stick my fuckin dick inside a mannequins ass
then I get manic depressed
see the orthodontist get gas masked
man it’s kick ass
the first thing I put on is the mask
speakin of masks
man it ain’t to late to have a change of pace
and take it off and show my face
so you can see the things you facin
slice you up and cook you after you murder my strangulation
that’s bacon soufflé you makin ain’t you but thank you jason
there goes one more coma
through the blood force trauma
just give me one more soma
and I’ll be done for Omama
go in the damn broom closet
another valium lost it
shovin the vacuum nozzle
down the bathroom faucet
it seems like everyday I get a little flakier
the medication is making my hands a little shakier
hand me that 18 month old baby to shake him up
it’ll only take me a
second to choke his trachea
breakin his neck in 80 some places
baby here shady comes lady
he’s got the razor for blazin the chchchchay ainsaw baby
you bubublunderin bumblin mumumumublin dum dums yea
here I come come you hear the rumblin rum rum
there something inside the blue talkin that drum drum
my head and torso someone whered it come from
whose it belong to maybe the girl with the long blonde hair
who disappeared and left the cheer leader pom poms
clearly there something wrong cause she didn’t come home
she’s missing where is she something is going on
I guess he stuck the bitch with the pitch fork with the long prongs
now everybody get your dance on to my dance song

Props to 2DB

Ether Him Please!!!

Jim Jones talking shit about Nas? What?!

Nas KILLS Jim Jones on every level in terms of skill, I hope he knows what he is getting into.
Check out his interview with Rhapsody…

Now that you and Cam aren’t really on good terms, is there regret on your part that you went to bat for Cam and got into a beef with Nas?
Nah. F*ck Nas. I don’t give a f*ck about Nas. He’s a rapper that just lost his pizazz. When I was in high school, he was the sh*t. He was the n*gg* that got us hype. “New York State Of Mind,” Illmatic, and all of that.

Is there any possibility of a reconciliation?
What kind of reconciliation? I was never cool with him. I seen Nas a few months ago in L.A with Dame. We was staying in this hotel right above the Ferrari Dealership. Dame seen him and was talking to him. I was laying back on a couch laughing. He didn’t know what to do. I was looking dead at him. [Laughs]. And then Dame was like, “You know Jim?” He started [stammering], “Ah? Ah?” Dame is just burnt out. He not thinking about none of that frivolous [beef] sh*t. Me neither for the most part. Nas was never on my level ever. Ever.

Maybe he just forgot what happens when you fuck with Nas

50 Cent’s upcoming game Blood On The Sand has been put on hold and for a damn good reason. This might be the most ridiculous game I have ever seen…

For full story watch video


The story line of the game consists of 50 Cent and G Unit traveling to an unknown middle eastern country to retrieve a diamond studded skull.

… Are You Serious!?
Why don’t they just go ahead and drop Kanye West into the rainforest and call it Jungle Lockdown?
Is this supposed to be a message of America’s stance towards terrorism? 
Lets send G-Unit into the Middle East to kill some terrorists!
The other thought is that maybe this game was supposed to go along with G Unit’s 2008 album release, Terminate On Sight (Which was beyond horrible).

Or maybe it is just a test from the G Unit’s marketing team. Maybe they just want to see how ridiculous a G Unit product has to be for people not to buy it.
I can just see it now…
“Oh how about we sell 8$ “G Unit gas”, and see how many people buy it!”
“No I have a better idea, lets make a game, we’ll take 50 and G Unit out of the hood and put them in the desert fighting those Iraqis and them!”

HHP Week In Review

October 5, 2008

Sarah Silverman Endorses Barack Obama

Let’s review the happenings of the week as we continue into another…

News:

Apparently, a few days ago Yung Berg got bitch slapped by Maino in a club. Read The Full Story Here..
Personally I really don’t care much for either artist, Yung Berg is a wanna be rap star with one hit and Maino is the controversy king of 2008. It seems like every year at least one artist goes big because they built their career on calling other rappers out.
Video:

Kanye West performed what is likely to be the second single off of his upcoming album, 808’s & Heartbreak.
Pretty funny video about T Pain and his vocoder
