Sticky Fingaz Is On Some Next Shit!!!

Yo just peep this video. If this shit is real... Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttt...

WHO'S ILLER??? - Week of 8/31/09

Aight, so for my second installment of "WHO'S ILLER???" I pose the question in regards to "The 90's Hip-Hop Gangsta" versus "The Present-Day Hip-Hop Gentleman". Let me preface this post with the fact that I do not condone domestic violence or blatant disrespect of women. I don't practice being a "pimp" or slap "bitches" on the street for saying some stupid shit to me. (Aight, so I did knock a chick flat on the ground one time when I was bent out of my mind, but aside from that I don't ever treat women like shit - A-Biz keep your mutha fuckin' mouth shut on this one!!!) What I'm trying to get at is that, just because a dude likes N.W.A and hates Babyface doesn't mean that same dude beats chicks up in his personal life. On that same token, just because a dude sings about love, romance and all that other gay shit doesn't mean that he doesn't beat the fuck outta his girlfriend in real life (I.E. CHRIS BROWN). Word.

I personally have a problem with the direction that hip-hop (now better known as R&B a.k.a. Rap & Bullshit) is going in. In the '90s you had the Snoop Doggs, Dr. Dres, Ice Cubes, Eazy-Es, Too Shorts, etc., etc. These mutha fuckas were on some straight up "fuck-a-bitch-shit". They never were talkin' about "I love you" in a track. Hip-Hop ain't about "I love you" it's about struggle, hate, discrimination, violence, sex, drugs, and sports. If you want to hear about some "I love you" shit then go listen to the "Love Deluxe" album by Sade while sitting in a bubble bath drinkin' wine with your girlfriend. My point is that many other genres of music are meant for the "I love you" shit. Many other genres of music have beaten the "I love you" shit to death, so why do rappers have to bring this element into a music form that was a breath of fresh air to listen to. No longer did I have to listen to a man profess his love to a woman in a song. I could listen to music that spoke about other life issues besides love.

The Hip-Hop G's of the '90s gave us songs like "Bitches Ain't Shit", "Gimme That Nutt", "Shimmy Shimmy Ya", "Ain't No Fun", and "Iron Maiden". The Hip-Hop gentlemen of the present have provided us with gems such as "Best I Ever Had", "Love of My Life", and "So Beautiful". Even Hip-Hop G's like Snoop Dogg have gotten gay lately with auto-tune and songs about how much they love women. Can someone tell me how the fuck Snoop can do what he did in the '90s and then make a track with Pharrell called "Beautiful"???? Come on dude.

What kills me about present day "hip-hip" is that it's not really hip-hop. Take Drake for example, this kid was a sitcom actor turned "rapper", but really he's a singer who can "rap". This dude comes out with a first single called "Best I Ever Had" and they call this shit "hip-hop"???? Nah man. This is the prime example of Rap & Bullshit (R&B). The industry is going nuts over him because he can rhyme and sing and sings about topics that teenage girls will pay for. THIS IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS NOW. Mutha fuckas my age that fiend for that real hip-hop won't actually BUY real hip-hop. So now we get stuck with these fake thug, pussy-ass Drake mutha fuckas who the industry markets as hip-hop artists when all they really are, are con-artists dressed up and marketed as something which they are not.

Do I wanna listen to "you're the best I ever had" or "Yo bitch, I fucked your friend. Yeah you stank hoe. I seen her on the elevator, honey grabbed my Kangol..."

Let's be real - when I'm chillin' with my lady, I'm on some "you're the best I ever had" shit. BUT when I'm listenin' to hip-hop I'm not making out with my chick at the same time. (For the record I don't make-out. That's some bitch-made shit. It's like, get to the point already!!! Hahaha.)

So this week, I'ma have to give it to the Hip-Hop G's of the '90s 'cause in a fight they would straight Debo the fuck outta these General Tso's Tofu eatin' vegetable lasagna head mutha fuckas. WORD LIFE!!!!

"A Day In The Life" Film

Somehow I needed to see this movie, primarily because I wanted to see what Sticky Fingaz had to offer but also because I told you I would give it a review. Let's be real here, the fuckin' tag line is "Bullets will fly, rap will flow." So, I went to my mixtape supplier on Fulton Street in Brooklyn to cop this shit 'cause you know I ain't payin' $25 for some shit that will probably suck. My man was like "Nah, I don't got it, but give me an hour and call me back. I'll get it for you." I still don't know how these mixtape mutha fuckas make lucci, but this dude got that shit for me mad quick and I finally saw this shit. Plus, dude only charged me $5!!!

The movie itself is outrageous. It's about two rival drug lords and how they start a war with each other and everyone dies. Same story as all the other thugged out, straight to DVD movies that are put out by rappers. The movie consists of sex, drugs, guns, bullets, blood, more blood, more guns, and more guns. All they do is shoot people the whole movie. The plot is awful, acting is not that great, BUT this movie is pretty cool because of the fact that every line of dialogue is a rhyme. There are beats playing non-stop throughout the movie that all the actors rhyme over while having conversations with each other. This, and this alone make this movie pretty ill to see just once. I have to say that Omar Epps is hands down the illest rapper out of all the "real actors" n this movie. His flow and delivery are pretty sick. I wonder if he'd ever rhyme himself. I think he'd be ill 'cause I was thoroughly impressed by his skills.

There's a lot of eye candy in this movie too. (Low budget ghetto, hip-hop movie staying true to the stereotype with video hoes all over the place, "Niiiiiccceee" - Borat.) Sticky's love interest is a sultry, voluptuous hoochie mama. Awful actress, ridiculous snoobs and donkey!!! Shiiiiiiiitttt.

The worst part of the movie is the camera work. It could've been shot better if I used a hidden camera on the lapel of my suit while running around on the set. The angles would've been exponentially better using my method here. Hahaha.

If y'all wanna see some nice ass, a lot of blood and guns, a terrible plot and some pretty ill rhymes, then check this shit out. I'll give it 5 $'s out of a possible 10 $'s.

The movie has a 5.5/10 on IMDB with 105 votes. Money Miz approves this rating.

Busta Rhymes - The Wu-Tang Stan

Yo, a lot of mutha fuckas don't know or even realize this shit right here. That dude Busta Rhymes is the biggest Wu-Tang stan of them all. He's worse than me and my brother Man O' War. This dude is always chillin with Rae & Ghost. He stays tweetin' about how he just been in the studio listenin' to Rae record shit for Cuban Linx 2. This mutha fucka LOVES them dudes. Peep this video of Busta introducing Raekwon at the Legends concert they had at BB Kings in NY this summer. This dude is BANANAS...

"A Day In The Life" Movie by STICKY FINGAZ

In 2001, Sticky Fingaz (of Onyx) released his first solo album titled "Black Trash: The Autobiography of Kirk Jones". In my opinion, this album was slept on by most heads. I think it's one of the illest conceptual hip-hop albums I've ever heard. The album runs like a movie documenting the fictional life of Kirk Jones and his trials and tribulations after getting released from prison. My favorite joint off this album is "Why" featuring the homie X-1 and produced by DJ Scratch. Sticky and his boy have a conversation while driving in a car and some crazy shit goes down. The writing is so smooth and their delivery is priceless because you don't even feel like they're rapping. It's like a seamless conversation where they just happen to be rhyming.

This is essentially what Sticky Fingaz' new movie is like. All the actors rhyme every line they recite. The movie is on some gutter shit with guns, drugs and bitches, but what else would you expect from Sticky? Shiiiiiitttt. The movie stars Sticky along side Mekhi Phifer, Omar Epps, Michael Rapaport, Fredro Star, and Weebay & Omar from "The Wire". I personally haven't seen this shit yet and will post a review once I see it. Based on what I've heard, at the very least, it seems mad creative. If it's anything like his album "Black Trash", then I know I'll be satisfied. There's also a soundtrack that was released a couple weeks ago to go with the movie. I'll keep y'all posted once I check that shit this weekend. Aight, Peep the trailer below for a little peak at this shit:

DIRTY - Documentary

WHO'S ILLER??? - Week of 8/24/09

Aight, I'ma start some new shit here at Hip-Hop & Bullshit and this is more along the lines of "Bullshit" than anything else. This new weekly update is called "WHO'S ILLER???" and it will consist of two pictures that get compared to each other and you have to decide WHO'S ILLER???

Week 1 embodies the problem I have with present-day hip-hop culture. What in the blood clot happened when I wasn't lookin' that skin tight jeans are cool for fellas to wear? When I went to school, if I wore some shit like this, the gay kids would've punked me in the school yard. I see high school kids in New York rockin shit like you see on the left to school every day. REALLY?!?!?!?! AND THESE KIDS AIN'T EMBARRASSED??? Where the fuck are their fathers??? Well, I guess I am talkin' about New York (they probably don't have fathers out here).

I mean how in the fuck is this shit hip-hop right here? This is hipster at the very least. Where the fuck can you put a knot of cash in those? Where the fuck can you conceal an unregistered hand gun??? YOU CAN'T. That shit ain't hip-hop, and yes, I think Kanye is a homo just like the writers on South Park do.

SO WHO THE FUCK IS ILLER HERE??? HINT: it's not the homo rockin skin tight jeans...

Cuban Linx 2 - Minus NaS (SMH)

This right here is some shit that pisses me off to no end, if in fact it is true. 12 days prior to handing in Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2, Raekwon was interviewed on MTV regarding NaS being on the album. As of the interview, Rae stated that NaS hadn't gotten back to him about puttin' a verse down for the album. Since the MTV interview, I haven't heard shit anywhere about NaS being on the album. THIS IS SOME BITCH SHIT.

NaS' verse on Cuban Linx 1 is the best verse on the whole album, let's be real. How in the tittie fuck could he NOT put a verse down when Raekwon asks him to? I'm actually not surprised because NaS has been a fruit cake in the last 5 years. From signing with Jay-Z to marrying that slore Kelis (never make a ho a housewife), NaS has been makin' a lot of bitch-made moves. Not to mention his music has gone down hill.

NaS claims that hip-hop is dead. Well, what the fuck is he doing to help resurrect it??? Where the fuck is he at when the game needs him most??? Makin' an album with fuckin' Damien Marley??? THE FUCK OUTA HERE SON!!! Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 is the biggest event to happen in hip-hop in this whole decade. To blow off Shallah Raekwon is disrespectful and unforgivable.

Maybe I'll be surprised and he'll be on it, but I don't think it's gonna happen. If so, NaS is a fuckin' asshole. Straight up and down.

Here's a video from the good ol' days:

Throwback Classic of the Week - 8/24/09

Aight, so I'm gonna start up a weekly event on Hip-Hop & Bullshit called "Throwback Classic of the Week". I'ma post the music video for some golden era classic tracks every week. Since we just came off some anime with the House of Flying Daggers video (which is fuckin' ridiculous by the way, check below), I'ma roll right into Ghostface Killah's "Mighty Healthy" video which has some animation elements to it. This track was produced by Allah Mathematics and is one of my personal favorites from his Supreme Clientele album. "YOU GOD DAMN RIGHT I FUCK FANS." Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttt... (Big up to that dude Clay Davis!!!)

House of Flying Daggers - Anime Video

Yo, this shit just got my dick wet. This is the new anime video for the track "House of Flying Daggers" off of Raekwon's upcoming "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2" album. The track is produced by J Dilla and features Inspectah Deck, Ghostface Killah, Method Man and GZA on the hook. This beat is BANANAS and dudes are spittin' like it's '95 again. 'Nough repect due, can I get a SUUUUUUUUUUU?!?!?!?!

Hip-Hop & Bullshit

I've always been a blogger "hater" who never really gave a shit about what other people thought. To be honest, the fact that I just wrote "to be honest" on a fuckin' blog kinda makes me sick right now. I'm still a little hesitant to even post this shit for fear of lookin' at myself in the mirror and thinkin' I'm a computer geek, fruit cake. So, I've vowed to myself that this blog is gonna be a gritty dialogue about hip-hop music and occasionally some other bullshit that I just HAVE to discuss with all you lobster head, small brained, gooffy-eyed lookin' mutha fuckas out there.

Hip-Hop & Bullshit is going to be a blog where I bluntly break down hip-hop music: what's good, bad, fake, fugazi, lame, gay, bitch-made, over-hyped, under-hyped, overrated, underrated, CLASSIC, best of all time and worst of all time. DON'T GET IT TWISTED - THIS IS A COMPLETELY BIASED OPINION OF HIP-HOP MUSIC FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A 28 YEAR OLD HIP-HOP HEAD WHO GREW UP DURING THE GOLDEN AGE. I have no qualms about the fact that you mutha fuckas love Biggie & 2Pac and I think they both sucked in their era. Granted, when I compare their music to the shit that's out now, I think they're both ill, but when compared to their competition when they were alive - it ain't even a question to me.

I should have called this blog "Hip-Hop Is Bullshit" 'cause in all seriousness, it is. Shit that's out nowadays is so bad it has actually polluted the creativity of golden era classic emcees. Ghostface said it best at a recent show I went to at the Nokia Theater in Times Square: "Hip-Hop is bullshit. I have no inspiration anymore. It's like I don't even really write like that anymore." I don't even blame him 'cause he's right. How the fuck can you gain inspiration from Soulja Boy??? You can't. Some of my favorite emcees put out some of the wackest shit now. It's very disappointing. But we'll get into that shit in later posts over the rest of this year.

There's only one thing in my mind that can "save" hip-hop. And by "save" I mean something that brings back the purity to the music. No singing or autotune in the hooks. No rhymin' about your rims and bitches. I'm talkin' about grown ass man content in the rhymes. GROWN ASS MUTHA FUCKIN' MAN SHIT MY PEOPLE. The Grown man shit I write of is Raekwon's "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2. With production from The RZA, Dr. Dre, The Alchemist, Pete Rock, Scram Jones, and J Dilla among others, I just don't know how you could go wrong. The album is guest starring Ghostface Killah and the first cuts and album cover have me urinating every 30 minutes 'cause I'm so fuckin' excited. What put me over the edge was two recent posts on Twitter from 9th Wonder and P. Diddy (of all people). 9th Wonder posted a tweet to the Alchemist saying: "@AlanTheChemist my man! Heard that Raekwon joint you did... LORD JESUS." P. Diddy stated: "@RaekwonIceWater the world needs your album!!! I heard it! I can't feel my face!!!"

So the chef betta have some crazy shit boiling in the pot for us. That shit betta be some succulent lamb that just falls off the bone. I'ma leave y'all with his new video for the two singles from Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2. If these songs don't get your pussy wet, then y'all don't have real pussies!!!! SHIIIIIIIIITTTTT!!!!!!!!!
