Souljah Boy Tell Em Relapses on some 808s and Heartbreaks

Time for number twoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Souljah Boy Tell Em plans on releasing his sophomore album this December. Um, well, good for him. I like SB, but come on, let’s be real. He’s a one hit wonder. His new single “Birdwalk”? Really? I would have rather heard “Gucci Bandana” as the first single. A lot of people hate on Souljah Boy which really disappoints me. Here we have a teenage kid makin music and makin money…legally! He ain’t sellin drugs or in a gang. He’s just makin music for KIDS to dance to. So why do grown ass folks feel the need to hate on him and say he killin hip-hop? First of all, hip-hop is a culture and can’t be killed (that’s why I didn’t fuck with Nas on the Hip-Hop is Dead album, I thought that was all marketing and gimmicks) and since when is makin club music a sin? People have been spoiled with the gangsta rap movement in which an album doesn’t sell or isn’t “hip-hop” if there isn’t sex, money, and drugs being rapped about. And he a producer, and even though they all sound the same, so what? He makin money! Be happy for him. Half of ya’ll haters can’t even rap.

Last week I went to the Q-Tip listening party at Turntable Labs in LA. Big mistake. I shoulda went to the Kanye West listening party. Why? Prolly better music but most importantly, NAKED WOMEN. Thanks to Kanye, we can see all of that on his blog (NSFW). It appears Kanye is losing ground with his single and there are talks of pushin his album back. SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD PLAN KANYE!!! Push that shit back, and record a new album without that voiceover shit. His new single still uses it on the chorus. It’s like come the fuck on man. You are talented enough not to need a gimmick to push albums. Lil’ Wayne didn’t sell a million because of Lollipop (it sure helped), but because he put out an album that was better than what people expected of him (me included). You ain’t gonna sell a million by irritating people ears Kanye. Put your ego aside for a sec and realize this.


Eminem is planning his comeback return. What? Eminem isn’t black? Did you watch the Totally Awesome video in the intro? Em is black. His new album, Relapse, is due this year and I’m kinda excited to hear it. He’s been out the game for 4 years (did the nigga go to college or somethin?) and I could just imagine what (or who) he’s gonna rap about. Then again, it would be nice for him to have shown some growth and maturity and flip the script. But then he wouldn’t be Eminem. Ah the conflicts of life.
