Posted in Hip Hop with tags , , , on March 19, 2008 by rashadtx

Lupe dropped one of his best videos yet with one of the hottest song off his album, The Cool. The video flowed really well with the song and one of the few Lupe’s vids I actually liked.

Did P. Diddy set up Tupac?

It’s been a few years since somebody brought up allegations of Tupac being setup by numerous of hip hop celebs in the past, but Chuck Phillips, staff write of the L.A. Times, believes to think that P. Diddy could be the one that setup Tupac at the Quad Recording Studios in New York.

According to Chuck:

“Now, newly discovered information, including interviews with people who were at the studio that night, lends credence to Shakur’s insistence that associates of rap impresario Sean “P. Diddy” Combs were behind the assault. Their alleged motives: to punish Shakur for disrespecting them and rejecting their business overtures and, not incidentally, to curry favor with Combs.”

The read is pretty massive, but it’s intriguing as well. Do I believe that Diddy has something to do with this?

Naw. I don’t believe he did.

Papoose – “A Fair One” (Fat Joe Diss)

Posted in Hip Hop with tags , , , on March 14, 2008 by rashadtx

If yall haven’t been paying attention between the Fat Joe and Pap beef, it all started [from what I heard] when Pap was sitting by 50 on a radio show as 50 diss Fat Joe live. According, to Fat Joe, he was mad because Pap didn’t say anything about it.

Then Fat Joe started more of his “bitchassness”, as P. Diddy would put it, when he went to a hotel where Pap was staying and had a confrontation with him. I’m not sure how accurate any of the sources I read so far, but from what I read, Pap punched Fat Joe twice in the jaw.

I’m not sure how in the hell Pap manage to do that since Fat Joe was rolling with 5 people deep. But, I haven’t read anywhere that it said he was hurt or even scratched!?

As a result, Pap drops a pretty solid diss. Not the best, but it’s pretty strong nonetheless. Shit… it ain’t as entertaining as “Elephant In The Sand” mixtape.

Lil Wayne’s “Lollipop” Video

Lil Wayne

I’m not sure what to really say about this video. I mean, it is placed in Las Vegas, that’s always a plus. But, the song itself isn’t really that good, but the beat however is pretty damn legit. The video, however, has Static Major (R.I.P) in there, so that’s pretty much the only thing you can look forward to. I don’t know about yall, but ever since Wayne started using that T-Pain voice box thing, he’s starting to sound more annoying than he usually be.

This song will be hitting the radio stations pretty soon if it hasn’t already. Be prepare to hear it every hour of the hour, not because it’s good, just because it’s Lil Wayne, cot dammit!
