Lil Wayne is back and this time he answers all of 50 Cent’s recent disses. On “LouisiAnimal” Weezy goes in on 50 “Call me Lil Weezy Ana Carter/ I go harder/All about a dollar fuck two quarters/bitch I poor syrup in that vitamin water/I hope you die ugly and tonight will be gorgeous.”

Kanye West returns with his fourth and most sonically distant album to date. The ten time Grammy Award Winning rapper/producer takes us for a ride through his troubled mind and broken heart with the help of the industry’s new best friend auto-tune.
808’s and Heartbreak is nothing if not creative. Ye’ seeming to have taking pieces of music styles from the 80″s and today’s pop and rap music to create a monster all its on. This Frankenstein like the original is full of pain, and sadness from a life missing love. Like the title the tracks are full of 808’s and heartbreak, and probably to much auto tune. The vo-coder singing at times hurts the depth of the lyrics cause there’s this slow pace and a constant repeating of lines, that leaves you wanting more to the stories he’s trying to set up.
Where as in rap the pace is much faster singing, especially in this albums style, drags out words to much leaving you with less to be able to say. this album also sounds rough at times, and not quit as put together as previous albums. Coming of three great if not all classic albums more was expected from this one which also his shortest album track wise, only having twelve tracks.but the biggest problem with 808’s and heartbreak would have to be the fact K west isn’t doing what he does so well…RAP.
Its like watching Lebron shot jumpers all day and never take it to the bucket to dunk over someone. Kanye’s rap style of humor and well placed puns with his unique deliver is missed here. But still that doesn’t mean this isn’t a good album its just not the greatness you expect. So lets grade this final project by Mr. West. All things considered, its not Graduation, but still musically style wise…it’s new and kinda works. The singing isn’t bad, the lyrics lack depth at times, however it does accomplish the goal of painting a picture of his life. So I grade it a “B”. Now lets just get T-Pain, Wayne, and Yeezy in a room so we can sing one last song and officially hand the vo-coder to T-Pain.

Well, it been a short trip down a long road for the Chief of Chicago. Coming from the streets of Chicago’s south side, Bump J embodied the Chicago Hustler more than any other Chicago rapper before him. He WAS the streets of Chicago. If you have ever attended a Bump J concert or are halfway familiar with the Goon Squad, you know you didn’t fuck with Bump.
Standing 5′5″ on his best day Bump wasn’t the biggest in stature, however the expression “I coudn’t see the forest for all the trees” applied to how Bump rolled. I never seen him perform without at least 30 people on stange and at least another 50 in the audience; plus more niggas outside.
This more than any other reason stopped his album from coming out. With that many people rolling with you, it was impossible to control, and soon any industry event Bump was at, there was a robbery. Which eventually made the industry turn their back on him and his album Nothing To Lose never see daylight.
Bumpy Johnson started a street movement that never been seen in Chicago. Its estimated he moved over 300K mixtapes that flooded the streets. Which is an accomplishment in its self but escpecially in the City of Hate. Where rappers are shit unless they are national. In Chicago you dont get any love no where unless your the man outside the city. Bump broke that law, and according to the Fed’s he broke a few others.
Chicago area rapper Bump J has been arrested in
Southern Illinois on bank robbery charges.
The man, whose real name is Terrance Boykin, was arrested in
Carbondale after a traffic stop this week.
Boykin is accused of robbing an Oak Park bank with another man
last January, with the FBI saying they made off with $100,000.Authorities around the nation were searching for Boykin after he
was indicted by a grand jury in September.If convicted, he faces a maximum prison sentence of 20 years.
Kanye West produced Bump J’s “Move Around,” which has been
featured in a McDonald’s commercial and in the “Madden NFL 06″
video.

In case you had not heard 106 & Park had “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” dance contest that ended Monday 11/17. Clearly the people over at BET fucked up, because this guy should have won.

The inauguration of the 44th President of the United States will draw as many as 4 million people on January 20th, 2009. According to the Washington Post, the attendance will be three or four times larger then previous events on the National Mall.
Officials are planning to have Jumbo-Trons so that people can feel apart of the historic event. Mayor Adrian M. Fentysaid that you will not be able to see both the parade and the inaugural swearing-in speech:
“The parade route will be completely filled way before the inaugural speech even happens,” said Fenty, who was in D.C. Council member in 2005, the most recent inauguration. “That’s something people will have to think about, whether they want to see the parade firsthand or see the inaugural swearing-in and speech. You can’t do both.”
Tickets to the ceremonies will be free and given to the members of the 111th Congress. If you are interested in attending the Inaugural Ceremonies, contact your members of Congress or U.S. Senators to request tickets. No other outlet for tickets will be available no matter what they claim…you can only pick up the tickets in person.
