How can you not enjoy someone seriously name dropping the one and only William Cooper while coming off just as paranoid, if not more. This is a man who complained about record label drama, when he tried to call his album nigger. I can't even come up with an analogy for that sort of absurd behavior. He also owns for sonning Jay-z by dissing him each time they've done a song together. It was especially evident on on that Luda track where Nas said he was the best who ever did it. You can just hear the awkward silence in the studio.

A MILLI
I was listening to the radio last night at work and DJ Cosmic Kev had a 15 min set of a bunch of the 'A Milli' remixes. The hottest beat since 'I Get Money' and everyone has done one. Heres some pointless rankings and thoughts on a bunch of them.
Cassidy - http://youtube.com/watch?v=zrOHv2BAJ9w
2 1/2 Milli's
Cass is a solid philly punchline rapper who seems like hes not going to reach the pop fame that he once looked like he was going too but hes starting to become a vet of the game. Cassidy as veteran rapper bitching about young ringtone rappers doesn't work for me. Cassidy drilling punchlines is what I want. This had too much of the latter and not enough of the former but he still had a bunch of good lines. "catch a case an start talkin like teddy ruxpin" If Cassidy wants to stick to being the punchline king of philly he needs to step his game up. He's a below Ab-Liva, Freck Billionaire, and Gillie Da Kid in the philly punchline power rankings right now.
Lil' Mama - http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZdntRUE4l_c
3 1/2 Milli's
Lil' Mama is the 'Lip Gloss' girl and she outshines many of the dudes who have done this 'A Milli' thing. After hearing this I'm about to give Lil' Mama the female rapper crown when Khia hangs up the mic. Very good work.
Jadakiss - http://youtube.com/watch?v=GlqoAE3y2tU
2 Milli's
Jada isn't really the guy to ride this beat and doesn't really know what to do with it. He just spits his typical D-Block Jada mixtape verse.
Cory Gunz - http://youtube.com/watch?v=Jxkso5ckb3I
5 Milli's
Why wasn't this on the album? Did Wayne drop the whole Milli album concept after Gunz murdered him on his own shit? Or was that just a syrup induced lie? The gold standard that all other A Milli remixes should be compared too. BARACK WITH THEM OBAMAS!!!
Mims - http://youtube.com/watch?v=uMvSc4K_b74
2 1/2 Milli's
The this is why I'm hot guy does a not so bad job and drills a couple punchlines. I've heard some not so bad stuff from Mims so maybe he can be the new Joe Budden and record a bunch of songs about how much it sucks to have a hit single under your belt.
Papoose - http://youtube.com/watch?v=UnLq94QfMbw
1 Milli
I want Papoose and Saigon to battle rap each other to death.
Gillie Da Kid Bump J Meek Millz Peedi Crakk - http://youtube.com/watch?v=JEj9PbOOK2k
4 Milli's
Gillie Da Kid has gone from bitter former ghostwriter for Lil Wayne to a guy whos made quite the buzz for himself in Philly. Peedi kills this like almost no other and the video (who records a video for a remix of a song?) is amazing with claymation fishes and crabs smoking blunts.
Fabolous - http://youtube.com/watch?v=q3vXgggPZ54
4 1/2 Milli's
Fabolous when hes on his game is the best punchline guy in the game. For whatever reason he always seems to be on his game in the summer and this is the peak of the Fabolous game. Drills punchline after punchline. This beat was made for him.
Jay - Z - http://youtube.com/watch?v=2jdP93GAydw
1 Milli's
While its kinda cool the king of hip hop would rap over this he doesn't do a very good job. Sounds like an old man who is desperately trying to stay hip and relevant. Jigga a Phil Collins reference isn't hip in the least dawg. Lil' Mama smokes Jay.

mixtape about nothing quotable
I'm the best even when I'm cynical
Angle these beats like the Pentagon
Whenever my pen is on
Ain't nothing here minimal
Countin my bread
My account like a brunch at a Synagogue
Get it ya'll? Thats a whole lot of bagels
See me out the bay with San Quinn in the Beige Coup
A very bad man you can ask Babbo
I get Seinfeld with these rhyme skills
I'm Larry David give me my paper
This a Cos-Mo like Jerry Seineighbor
My Co-stanzas stand like Phantoms or Maybachs
You won't get a-lane if you can't can't rap
I hate rap like Kramer hate blacks
Still there's no label Wale ain't passed
And now I'm gonna leave though and everybody gasped
So Mark gave me a check and some dap

around the world now i'm back again
arguing lil wayne's credentials for the crown of hip hop is a debate that has been waged online on every blog you click but one that has long since missed the point. while the initial hype following tha carter II and the dedication series might have been a bit premature he has earned his spot at the throne due to the sheer output of material unique swag and a rabid following unmatched in todays stale music industry. wayne isn't the best rapper alive by any definition of the words 'best' 'rapper' or 'alive' but for this era he will go down as its biggest star. so it shouldn't come as a shock to the wayne supporters why he has faced so much backlash. he represents a number of the problems with the era as a whole (kid rapper, southern rapper, ringtone rapper) he almost never makes a record of any substance, rarely makes much sense, and lacks a general point on his songs. these traits can be misconstrued as negatives when associated with wayne but they are also key reasons why he is the king. for all the garbage rappers who share more with wayne than they do with black thought he is the one who has emerged from the pack to become something else altogether turning these negatives into positives. wayne shouldn't be good at all he has too many holes in his game to be one of the best yet he is. his non sequitur stream of consciousness flow is what separates him from the pack of poseurs wannabes has-beens and never was rappers. in an industry where everyone sounds the same wayne is the voice of reason and insanity. he is my generations rapper.
for every fan riding wayne's dick over the past two years there have been countless others who have sought to challenge his rise. for those bloggers it would have been pure vindication if during their lonely and methodical pursuit they had discovered the evidence needed to forever discredit his standing. first came the pictures of him kissing birdman his father figure slash slave master. then came the allegations from gillie the kid of ghostwriting. then wayne was burned out and put out a mixtape using the vocoder t-pain popularized. the blogs were all set to declare this a flop before it came out but as usual poetic justice has no place in the world of rap.
hyperbole will be pilled on in both directions of tha carter III debate. neither are right. tha carter III is a masterful collection of the coked up insane ramblings of the hardest working man in show business during the youtube era. it is held back from classic status due to sub par radio singles especially the wyclef jean produced track but it has moments of brilliance. on 'mr. carter' wayne holds his own with jay-z. the rap equivalent of kobe keeping up with jordan during a pickup game. 'i heard somebody say church ima need a suit/ imma need a coop/ i wont need a roof/ flyer than beetlejuice, beetlejuice, beetlejuice' you can hear the joy in wayne's voice on the song. he's come a long way from the prefix where he was a kid growing up rapping over his favorite rappers beats emulating his flow. on 'mr. carter' wayne is all grown up and the featured star of the show. if you can't enjoy an album that has references to stuart scott, aldolf hitler, macho man randy savage, dennis rodman, diego corrales, elian gonzalez, a song where wayne compares himself to martin luther king and asks to be assassinated like him, and a six minute rant at the end of 'Misunderstood' on why crack dealers shouldn't be sent to prison when pedos can get free along with a few minutes of dissing al sharpton for being a bad leader of the blacks all while smoking a blunt then you have no soul

Don't Worry If I Write Rhymes, I Write Checks
the pre 9/11 rap world was a much lighter time a happier place filled with extravagant bling and flourishing commercial exposure. obviously things have only continued along this trend since but the industry has cooled off to the point where it seems that when an album is released and flops (and most of them do) the artists either blame a lack of promotion, the internet, and or both. todays rappers complain about the lack of success while taking shots at the rappers who have achieved what they strive to reach. p. diddy is often cited as a contributing factor to todays diminished rap landscape (both commercially and creatively) but it is my opinion that the rap world would be better off with more of mr. combs. say what you will about the lack of 'lyrical content' on his albums but diddy is the best marketing genius the rap world has ever seen. no song/video exemplifies this truth as much as p. diddy's 'bad boy for life'
for a time combs was one of the biggest celebrities in all of america. the type of rapper who was late night talk show famous. i dont mean that as any knock on combs either as there's only a handful of rappers who can make the leno, larry king, letterman rounds and hes at the top of that list. he was dating j-lo at the height of her own fame (and looks) and was involved in a major trial with big time lawyers backing him (rip johnnie cochran hollar at ya jew lawyers benjamin brafman). following his acquittal on those shooting charges ( I don't like the way P. Diddy did Shyne with different lawyers - the rappin bill cosby) and breakup with lopez combs switched up the name to p. diddy and dropped The Saga Continues.
The Saga Continues is the last real rap album puff has put out to date and its lead single is a crowning achievement of this style of music. 'bad boy for life' is such an epic mess of everything that is wrong with music and yet i find it impossible not to love. the video opens in perfectown usa with dark clouds brewing (a sign of the darkness that is about to consume the neighborhood). the bad boy crew rolls up in a fleet of cars with what appears to be secret service agents making sure its safe for diddy to get out. get the irony? the white people in the neighborhood are doing white things like getting the newspaper (LOOL @ READING) and making sure their lawns are well kept. the bad boy moving company helps move them in including a wheelbarrow filled with cristal, an all black leather couch with puffs records resting on it and one of the white neighbors faints at the sight of these bad boys (aka negros) moving in.
to say the video is over the top would be a gross understatement. this was diddy's coming out party to white america and he did an amazing job having it filled with all sorts of cameos: dave navarro backing diddys garage band, pat o'brien playing a peeping tom years before his voicemails, snoop, ice cube, xzibit, fonzworth bentley playing the role of bagger vance for diddys roof made driving range, ben stiller bitching about said roof driving range, mike tyson riding a harley, and shaq who helps diddy school some white losers in a pickup game.
the video ends with diddy throwing a legendary block party, capped off with diddy jumping over 5 cars on a motorcycle. an image that can represent the 'jumping the shark' of rap music and the dawn of a new era. in the morning diddy wakes up to get the newspaper (conforming to the standards of white america) and his neighbors are accepting of him and the style he represents. no longer an outsider diddy stands in his bathrobe shaking his head as crazy town moves in on the block. diddy remarks 'there goes the neighborhood' foreshadowing the pop world's short lasting affair with the rap industry, crazy town, and his newfound mainstream america acceptance.
