Why is there 30 views and just a couple feedbacks, nobody has any thoughts on this? :stickpoke: :wiggle: It's quite interesting to see kids from legendary rappers trying to come in the game like their parents, Ice Cube was on the radio recently saying that his son is producing a song on his new album, and Eazy-E's son is rapping too now(Lil' Eazy-E), they should form NWA Jr., lol, I wonder if Trey's gonna be picking up a mic soon and be on Will's next album? By the time the next album comes out 2 or 3 years from now, he'll be 15/16 years old...

Yeah everyone on that song ruined it basically but: "Wild N' Out">>>>Romeo's career Anybody who puts any album from any of those rappers like Master P, Romeo, and Bow Wow in the same class as "He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper" and "Bigger and Deffer" has no credability, they shouldn't even be allowed to allow to interpolate those songs 'cause they're so wack, this WWE crap in rap is so corny, these wack rappers got to go, Master P looks like a fool to put so much energy into dissing somebody that's old enough to be his son, he should just let it slide like Will has been doing, and I think should just sell his merchandise and hang up his mic and have his son Romeo have a position in his company, he clearly has no buisiness to be in the music business just 'cause he's daddy's lil' boy, and Bow Wow should just leave the rap game altogether he's such a joke, at least Nick Cannon is entertaining and don't go around dissing anybody...

LL should sue Bow Wow for ruining his line in that song but then again like I said earlier he should also sue Master P for turning "I Need Love" into "I Need Dubs" and Will should sue Lil' Romeo for ruining "Parents Just Don't Understand", they all suck, wack rappers need to stop ruining classics... :stickpoke:

I'm bumping this up for anyone who wants to read this, I figured since there's some Dr. Dre fans they'd be interested in knowing that his son is a producer/rapper too, it's quite interesting that he's dissing Game too since Dre is Game's main producer, there might be some tension at home since this is coming out publicly, lol...

:rofl: This kid should just learn to shut up 'cause everytime he opens his mouth he makes himself look foolish, Master P got money stacks bigger than him :paperbag: Bow Wow Responds To Lil' Romeo And Master P. By Morris Moore and Roman Wolfe Date: 4/21/2006 7:20 pm The feud between Bow Wow and Lil' Romeo has intensified, as Bow Wow has responded to comments Master P made surrounding the two rappers' growing beef. Lil' Romeo's father, Master P, confirmed that the two rappers had crossed paths backstage at Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Award show, on April 1st. According to Master P, Bow Wow ran in his trailer and refused to talk about tensions with Lil' Romeo. Now, Bow Wow has come forward to address Master P and Lil' Romeo. "I can't understand all this, but I guess that's how it is when you ain't getting no attention," Bow Wow told AllHipHop.com. "You can hear me on the radio all day, every day. You [Lil' Romeo] can't sell no records, and your daddy is on Dancing With the Stars." Lil' Romeo was apparently offended at the line on the song "Fresh Azimiz," where Bow Wow claimed to be making more money than an unspecified person's father. Romeo released a diss to Bow Wow titled, "Hood Stars." Master P also accused Bow Wow's success of going to the rapper's head. "I just think Bow Wow done sold a couple records and got real cocky, and forgot where he came from," Master P said in a previous interview. Bow Wow dismissed Master P's allegations. "The crazy part is the line that got them all bent outta shape was an old LL line ("The Do Wop from LL Cool J's 1987 album Bigger and Deffer). That shows how much they know about Hip-Hop." Bow Wow also countered Master P's challenge to a Pay-Per-View boxing match between Romeo and Bow Wow. "If Romeo wanna make some real money, come sign with me," Bow Wow said. "Then, he wouldn't have to pull these stunts 'cause there ain't No Limit over here."

Dikembe Mutombo is currently the oldest player in the NBA at 39 years old, I think he's signed to play next year and back up Yao, he needs 35 blocks next year to pass Kareem Abdul-Jabar on the all time block shots list, he's currently 3rd with 3,154 blocks, he ain't gonna catch Hakeem Olajuwon who has 3,850 career blocks, he has about 11,000 points and 11,000 rebounds in his career too, he might get into the hall of fame one day but I think Shaq, Ewing, Olajuwon, Robinson, and Mourning'll probably get in before him, maybe even Kevin Willis 'cause of his longevity, the '90s was a great era for centers, there really ain't too many dominating centers now, Ben Wallace might get in the hall of fame himself one day, he's a Mutombo type player who plays great defense but then again he probably ain't gonna score 10,000 points so he won't make it but he got a ring which a lot of the great centers of the '90s didn't get

I heard the soundtrack had some good songs but it wasn't nothing groundbreaking by any means and the movie I didn't bother seeing either, I could care less about G-Unot...

Yeah DMC's album definately is an ecletic mix, check out Wyclef's albums too

Hood Surgeon: The Difference By Houston Williams When Dr. Dre acknowledged his extended brother Warren G’s referral of Snoop Dogg, “Deep Cover” was born. History may repeat itself now that Dr. Dre has met his son, known to many as Hood Surgeon. While the junior Compton native strikes comparisons to his father in appearance, he promises to also pack a “monster” sound behind the boards. With So Hood Records, Hood Surgeon promises to bring the hood back to Tinseltown – with any one of his ten artists. The blossoming artist tells all to AllHipHop.com in regards to his father, his goals, and the credibility of a former Compton classmate. Doctors and surgeons are one in the same, and in this case, so is their hood. But will Dr. Dre and his son have a similar Hip-Hop legacy? Time will tell. AllHipHop.com: I know that everybody has a lot of curiosity about you know, your relationship with your dad and everything. Can you speak on that a little bit? Hood Surgeon: Yeah, a little bit. AllHipHop.com: How is he? Hood Surgeon: My dad is cool. I’m just doing my thing. I’m going through the grind like he did, like he had to go through. And so that way when I get it, I’ll respect it more, even though it’s there. AllHipHop.com: Oh okay. So you don’t, do you ask him for help? Hood Surgeon: No, I’m my own man. I’m capable of doing [the] same thing he did, you know. And you know how you respect something more if you can do it on your own. AllHipHop.com: Were you close with your dad growing up? Hood Surgeon: On that one, that’s really like personal because it’s like really something I don’t want to discuss about the childhood growing up, ‘cause I’d rather let them hear about that in the music, you know what I mean? I’ll put it like this: I went through the same thing he been through. So I just put it like that, so...I’ll tell y’all this though, I met him when I was 21. I didn’t know him growin’ up. I just, we just was right up under each other’s noses basically, not knowing that, you know, that that was my pop and he didn’t know I was his son, ain’t s**tting. AllHipHop.com: Yeah, yeah. But you know it’s funny because you, you closely resemble him. I mean you know you really do look a lot like him, you know in the pictures that I see at least, you know. Hood Surgeon: F**king identical. AllHipHop.com: How was being raised in Compton for you? Hood Surgeon: Oh man, I mean, s**t it was rough. Like, I’m just like him you know, he’s a little bit darker than me that’s all. AllHipHop.com: You produce as well, right? You rhyme and produce, right? Hood Surgeon: Yeah, when I was 12, ‘cause I found out, my mom told who my real father was. Ever since then, I started rapping, I wanted to be like him all his life, you know. You know, all that s**t. This type of s**t, this type of ****, like some of my good friends don’t even know, they sit here like, ‘Damn.’ AllHipHop.com: Well, thanks for being candid. Hood Surgeon: No, what I’m here, I’m here for the truth. I speak the truth. Know what I mean, that’s [the] main thing with me. AllHipHop.com: So production-wise, you know your own style. How would you describe it for people that may not have heard your stuff yet? Hood Surgeon: Monsterish. Everything’s big. I don’t do little s**t. Everything is big. Not even to be like that, it’s just you know we do everything big, you know like a big statement. [i’m] bringing the West Coast back, we can’t come with no little bulls**t. AllHipHop.com: Other people talk about bringing the West Coast back: Game and Lil’ Eazy-E. Have you made any connections with those kind of guys or anything like that? Hood Surgeon: Yeah, I know them, yeah. AllHipHop.com: Yeah are y’all cool? Hood Surgeon: I’m me. They’re them. You know what I mean? They’re artists too, so we all, you know they’re in the, you know, they doing their thing for the West Coast. AllHipHop.com: Okay, now with So Hood Records, you’re like the CEO of So Hood Records? Hood Surgeon: Yeah, I’m the founder/CEO of So Hood Records. AllHipHop.com: Okay, what made you start your own label as opposed to you know trying to use obvious leverage? Hood Surgeon: Like most the people that I got, I don’t go and get people from Hollywood. I get people from the hood. I know how to run s**t. People from Hollywood, they’ll quit when s**t gets rough, you know what I mean? I got people that have been through the stuff, so they gonna hold it down regardless, whether we got money whatever we doing, you know what I mean? AllHipHop.com: How many artists you got? Hood Surgeon: There’s about 10 of us, honestly. AllHipHop.com:What are you talking about on a record? What are we gonna hear? Hood Surgeon: It’s like, you know you’re gonna hear the struggle I went through - hear how amazing it is now. [My] single is called “Paradise.” I got a mix[tape] that’s on the street now called The Autopsy. AllHipHop.com: What’s Compton like these days man? Is it the same or has it changed? Hood Surgeon: Oh man, hell yes, it’s the same. I mean usually you can catch motherf**kers just nestling up, fighting or tripping. You know what I mean? It’s more shooting, know what I mean, honestly say, it was kinda, well I ain’t saying it was less, little bit less shooting. Motherf**kers can [check up on] my s**t and see what I been through and where I grew up at, and they’ll see that I’m not lying. I’m not gonna say I was out there shooting motherf**kers and doing all that, but I grew up around that, so I might speak on something that happened around me in my music. ‘Cause they ain’t gonna hear me say something I didn’t do. AllHipHop.com: Do you feel other artists do that now? Hood Surgeon: Oh yeah, lot of artists do that, [such as] Game. AllHipHop.com: Yeah? Hood Surgeon: He is the West Side story. I ain’t tripping on that fool though, man. AllHipHop.com: Yeah, yeah now -- Hood Surgeon: I don’t know, he’s just scary man. I mean I don’t know. AllHipHop.com: Yeah, he’s real cool with your dad though. Has there been, you know -- Hood Surgeon: Yeah, I just know the real on him, man. I went to school with him. He ain’t nobody. AllHipHop.com: Nah, nah saying it sounds like a little friendly competition going right now. Now it’s funny to me because Game kinda was seen as, you know the new NWA so to speak -- Hood Surgeon: Nah, nah. You know what it is? I ain’t even gonna say it’s competition. It’s just look and see who’s better. You know what I mean? He ain’t f**king with us over here, man. I honestly, honestly could say, my sister and like my pop, man. You know what I mean, like honestly the n***as that I’m with, we head-busters man. We, my people we escorted Game at the club in Rosaritos, so. ‘Cause he was scared and s**t, you know walk through the crowd with him and stuff. AllHipHop.com: Anything else you want to say to people or relay? Hood Surgeon: Man, f**k the world. The West is back. AllHipHop.com: I don’t know how y’all feel, but I feel like Game did a good job bringing the West back to the forefront. You know what I’m saying, ‘cause -- Hood Surgeon: He did a good job as far as sending the resume to the West Coast. AllHipHop.com: Yeah. Hood Surgeon: I’m gonna get the job. We ain’t getting the national recognition. Honestly, the only person that can bring the West back is probably my pop, in a real way, so who better than his son? AllHipHop.com: Let me ask you this, this is more of a personal question, but when is the damn Detox album coming out? Hood Surgeon: He working on it. AllHipHop.com: Yeah, okay. Hood Surgeon: I am on the Detox.

These are some of the corniest reasons ever, what the hell does clubs and sampling have to do with image again? :rofl: :blabla:

The Rockets should've waived Mutombo when they fell out of playoff contention so he could sign to a playoff team, the Heat could use somebody to back up Shaq since Mourning is hurt I think

I don't think Steve Kerr will make the Hall Of Fame but he made a lot of clutch shots in his career that helped the Bulls and Spurs win championships, he was a perfect role player, Dikembe Mutombo is one of the greatest defensive players ofall time and he made a few all star teams I think, he played on quite a bit of bad teams though, and this year's Rockets were another example,I'd really like to see him win a championship before he retires, he's been one of my favorite players

Well did Will kill somebody or anything of that nature? There's a lot of rappers who get arrested and people like them still, Will stays out of trouble, takes care of his family, helps others, so what's about his personality that you gotta hate about him? His personality shines just as bright as his talent, he's a true role model that kids could be able to look up to

Yeah me releasing Chauncey Billups was the biggest mistake I made, I was gonna re-sign him again a couple days after, it was a slow week at that time and he wasn't playing at all so I waived him so I could pick somebody to play for me a couple days and release him but it didn't work that way, you picked him up and I was like oh **** :paperbag: Great season guys, it was a pleasure, hope to do it again next year! :wiggle:

Well in my opinion their really ain't that much of a difference between Will Smith and Ludacris, they both have an image to keep for them to hold on to their fanbase, but those who don't like that type of image will jump out to say that they don't have any talents and that's not true, they're both talented artists, I'm sure if Ludacris made cleaner songs some people who criticise him for being too explicit would learn to like him but those hardcore rap fans will think his music sucks all of a suddenand the opposite for Will if he went the hardcore route, we'd think that he's wack all of a sudden but the hardcore fans would love him, you can't please everybody, people hate on Will 'cause it's the popular thing to do but if there was more clean artists that were popular they wouldn't diss Will as much, fans always talk **** but the artists respect each other though

I wasn't jumping on you man, you could feel what you'd like to feel, I have the right to respond back, this is a discussion board, don't take anything personal, we're just having a discussion, Will works hard for the money he gets and he's just enjoying his success and gives back at the same time, if I'm fortunate to be in his position I'd buy myself a nice mansion and fancy things too but also give time and money to charity at the same time too, what's so wrong about that?

Papoose is better than Will without dropping an album yet? :stickpoke: Sure he got potential but he has to go unranked like Kel Spencer, Da Brakes, and me until he could prove himself...

Well I think you're right in a sense that Will's the same as other rappers, I mean a lot of rappers get dissed for their images, I mean look at Ludacris, there's a lot of people, even some on here that might criticise him for his explicit image, Oprah disses him for being hardcore like Wendy Williams disses Will for being soft, it works both ways, the glass only half way full for most artists, everybody gets criticism that they don't deserve especially since you personally don't know these people, these artists are human like us, if you don't like their music leave it that but don't go around dissing their character if you don't know **** about the type of lives they really live and at the same time there's no need to worship any celebrity either like they're a god, Will has flaws like all of us do, but I appreciate him for his talents and the type of music and movies he makes

Will does do plenty of charity though, he just doesn't run to the press everytime he does it 'cause he doesn't want no attention for that, he's humble, the thing that pisses me off is that people put down Will even though he won the 1st rap grammy and sold millions of albums but yet when people talk about Eminem and give him props they throw in that he's one of the highest selling rappers and won 9 Grammies, I find that hypocritical, it should be a double standard, if you're gonna give props to somebody for selling millions, you should give props to all, not just to one, sure Will raps about money, materials, and women but he does it in a classy and fun way, he enjoys his success but it don't define who he is...

I'd rather have kids listening to rappers make wack novelty songs like "Laffy Taffy" and "Ice Ice Baby" or even wack songs where rappers are dissing each other rather than songs criticising God is basically what I'm saying if we gotta be specific about it, and I might be hypocritical but I'm human and I have flaws, but hearing songs dissing God just doesn't sound right to me, but hey that's my view and I got real strong beliefs, if you like Mobb Deep so be it but they get no ounce of respect from me, the majority of the public look at conscious rappers as corny but if being positive and loving God is corny, I guess I am too, I rather be corny than glorifying negativity and going to hell, ultimately though of course I'd like to see better quality music hearing the airwaves, I wanna see "We're Gonna Make It" come out as a single to help LL sells millions and open these young minds to true hip-hop, get them on the right path right away

Hip-Hop is a big part of my life, I stay writing and practicing my craft, I just do it for the love of it and getting my thoughts out even if I never make it I could care less about that 'cause that's what I love to do, I'm an mc, I probably spend more time on it than a lot of these so called professionals do just from enjoying the music to coming up with something on my own, if I never get a dime from it I could care less, lol, btw there's an interesting article I found on Davey D's site where there's criticism for MTV's top 10 and saying that LL should be #1 'cause he outlasted everybody, I just don't get why the guy had to put down Ice Cube and Will Smith for though, over 30 million people around the world have bought Will's albums so that means somebody must be wanting to listen to him, Will needs to shove the "L&F" platinum plaque in this writer's face to show that people still listen to him today, Will has stood the test of time and has been consistant even though he never battled anybody in the spotlight although he whooped Smooth B back in the days in Philly, and Ice Cube is one of the truest artists ever if you put him down for not making all of his albums angry like "Amerikka's Most Wanted" then you'll have to put LL down for not making all of his albums like "Mama Said Knock You Out", as an artist you have to grow beyond that and they both do and that's why they're still on top today, they've been just as relevant in the rap game as LL has been over the years, the same class of legends: http://www.daveyd.com/ MTV News and Sway and the MTV staff are BUGGIN'!!!! By Big Ced of Industry Co-Sign everythingbigced.blogspot.com/ I just finished looking at MTV's 5 Greatest MC's and no doubt it will ALWAYS be a hard debate to ever really, truly name 10 greatest MCs . Here is the list MTV has: (in reverse order) 10. LL Cool J 9. Eminem 8. Ice Cube 7. Big Daddy Kane 6. KRS-One 5. Nas 4. Rakim 3. Notorious B.I.G. 2. Tupac 1. Jay-Z Now this is gonna spark a debate regardless but, as i have been saying for years, LL Cool J is the greatest MC of ALL TIME! Hands down! Just to make a valid point, MTV aired a special on LL RIGHT after the program, which says a lot. One, if memory serves correctly, LL Cool J was the first Def Jam artist, PERIOD. And how long has Def Jam been in existence? And think, Public Enemy, The Beastie Boys, Run D.M.C., etc. are considered old school. And besides Run D.M.C., all of those acts came AFTER LL, yet, LL is not labeled an old school artist and is STILL recording, on the same label, no less. Accomplishments comparable to a sports player remaining on the same team throughout his whole career. @#%$, not even Michael Jordan can say that! Let's put it where it needs to be, LL has outlasted ALL his peers and is still hanging with the newer breed of emcees and is still going platinum, even if it's a quiet platinum. He is and has always been lyrical, his style changes with the times to still be relevant. He is battle-tested, in fact, most would say undefeated (Can-I-Bus gave him a good dent). He is also a movie star, had his own television show and can still go back in the studio and hang with the rest of them! Not even Ice Cube has been able to sustain a rap career while going in front of and in back of the cameras. And Will Smith? Does anyone really want to hear him rap? Not even white kids are checking for him the way they are still checking for James Todd Smith. His impact and longevity speaks volumes in this world of one hit wonders and flash in the pans. We need to give credit where credit is due. Let's be honest, NONE of the rappers listed in MTV's top ten will or does have the fruitful career LL has. NO ONE. And I know all of Brooklyn will get mad at me for saying this but there is NO WAY Biggie can be considered THE greatest because he realistically only recorded 2 albums while alive (well, 3 considering Life After Death was a double CD). I do agree that he is ONE of the greatest and he is my favorite emcee, but we have to take into consideration that after 2 albums, it is possible that Biggie could have fallen off. Yes, reasonable to think that. If you look at history, look at Rakim after arguably 2 albums, Nas had a rough spot before Jay got in his ass and brought the fire back. Big Daddy Kane hit skid row after 2 albums, Ice Cube went Hollywood and no one, maybe not even him, wanted to hear Amerikkka's Most (probably because he wasn't/isn't angry anymore). @#%$, even one of the greatest Hip-Hop producers, Dr. Dre, bombed with The Aftermath album! I can go on and on with examples from other artists who aren't listed here either and, I dispute Sway and the MTV staff, for saying that Jay never fell off. He always had a hit or two on each album, but a couple of those middle albums were not classics or even a good album. We live in a time where if you go platimun or you have a radio hit, then the albums are considered good. How wrong that is! Or maybe since these guys ARE at MTV, they have to encounter Jay and wouldn't want to be on his bad side! Well, I have plenty of friends and don't need Jay to be my friend or even LL, I just want to state the facts that LL has outlasted EVERY rapper in the game and depending on the strentgh and look of his latest album, I can't see him stopping unless he wants to. LL did have a rough patch but when he came back, HE CAME BACK! He may have had, arguably, the GREATEST comeback in Hip-Hop history! Can anyone give me any other examples of someone falling off the way LL did and then came back so strong that he hasn't left again? Once again, when you have discussions like this, think about the WHOLE picture and that picture can't be snapped or looked at unless LL Cool J is mentioned!!!!

Now just 'cause KRS-ONE is one of my favorite rappers doesn't mean that I agree with everything he says, now to say that 2Pac is a god is wrong, 2Pac was human, I don't look at any rapper as God, I look at them as human, there's only one God, that's just like Lerkot trying to start JJFP religion here, come on now, lol, now I'm not fan of Mobb Deep so hearing them make a song like that about God will not make me wanna be their fan anytime soon, I find it disgusting that there's gonna be kids listening to that, I mean I could care less if they listen to wack songs but now listening to a song being critical of God is dead wrong to me, I don't feel that at all...

Since when does getting famous= having the most skills? Bow Wow was on stage with Snoop Dogg when he was 5 years old so that must make him the G.O.A.T. then if that was the case but it's not, the record executives look for the rapper who raps about ice, pimpin', and thuggin' the most rather than the rapper who got the most versatile flows, stage presence, and the wittiest lyrics, if this was like sports where they measure players by the most skills then Kel Spencer would be platinum and Lil' Wayne would never get a record deal, not the opposite like it is, the rap industry only cares about promoting gimmicks and making money off of it, they don't promote the artists who have the most skills, if Lil' Wayne is considered a rap legend I might as well start listening to country :shakehead:

Well Bow Wow's been rapping since he was 5 years old but that don't make him the greatest right? :stickpoke: It's either you got skills or you don't, it don't matter how many years you been rapping or if you got a record deal or not, like KRS once said: "A dope mc is a dope mc, with or without a record deal people could see", if I see any of these wack rappers somewhere I'll battle them, I got over 200 songs written, they can't **** with me, lol

They made a song with 50 Cent called "Pearly Gates" that's gonna be on their new album, it's a song about how they're gonna go to heaven gates and beat up god for all the problems they had, I think Interscope's supposedly editing it though to avoid controversey, I never was really into them but after hearing that I don't think I'll ever check for them, man I thought it was heartless that they made a diss song to 2Pac after he died but this is the icing on the cake really, I question how anybody could wanna be their fans after that, they're ungreatful bastards, but karma goes around, everybody have problems but you can't go around saying you wanna kill god 'cause of them, I think their album will flop and they'll be crying to God after they got dropped by Interscope, lol, they lost all respect that I never really had for them and for 50 Cent to be apart of that I can't really defend him anymore either, he does deserve all the criticism he gets if he's gonna go around and promote something like that on his label, it's like what KRS said on of his songs, "These rappers don't have God in their hearts, all they want is quick money and movie parts, let us begin, what where why or when?, what's this use of double platinum if you're living in sin?", they probably know churches might get together and boycott if their song comes like that but that's what Prodigy said in that song about how 50 Cent saved him and not God, he got a G Unit tattoo on his arm like 50's Jesus or something :paperbag: On a lighter note "Control Myself" is #4 on the Billboard charts right now, LL's doing it big once again, now if Def Jam doesn't sleep on releasing the singles, things are looking good for LL to go platinum again, positive artists like him on record and in real life deserve to be rewarded like this: "Daniel Powter's "Bad Day" retains the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for a fourth straight week. The cut also extends its reign over the Pop 100 and Hot Digital Songs charts, where it has held the lead for the same length of time. On the Hot 100, Sean Paul's "Temperature" and T.I.'s "What You Know" stick to No. 2 and No. 3, respectively. "What You Know" also leads the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart for a second week and is the chart's greatest sales gainer. LL Cool J's "Control Myself" featuring Jennifer Lopez reenters the Hot 100 at No. 4 in its fourth week on the chart, having not appeared there since the March 25 issue of Billboard."
