Blogger Arrested Over Song Leak

A blogger (article doesn't link to his blog) was arrested by the FBI after he posted almost 10 Guns N' Roses songs on his website in June. The FBI came looking for him, and he realized he was deep in shit and removed the songs. He was questioned by the FBI over a short period and finally Wednesday morning they came and arrested him. He was released on $10,000 bail. I'm anxious to see what they stick him for, as he's admitted to putting the songs up**.

**If I can ever give you any advice ever**

NEVER ADMIT ANYTHING. That's not even on no fuck the police bullshit. Innocent people get rocked by their own stupidity too many times. Even if you get pulled over for speeding and they ask you how fast you were going. Just say "I can't be sure." Get the ticket thrown out later in court. If you tell the officer you think you were speeding, even 1 mph over the limit, it makes it that much more difficult. Never lie, but never tell the truth either. I've talked to PLENTY lawyers who tell me about it. There's youtube videos about it. Just wait for your lawyer before you say anything.

**End Lesson 1**

Anyway, homeboy shouldn't get too much for it, but if he does, it'll make you think twice about putting up that exclusive joint again.

Rhymefest's Stolen Ipod, Theif Speaks

This has been going on the last few days, and I saw it but it's just so hard to post everything I want to post and still work and get what I need to do done during the day and what I want to do when I get home.

Your source for all the exclusive Chicago Fakeshoredrive received an email from some kid who claims he stole Rhymefest's Ipod and goes on to blackmail him.

Read the whole letter

you were in a public place recently with your iPod hooked up to a sound system playing music for people, and I caught you slipping. You actually walked away for 15 WHOLE MINUTES!!! Then, you forgot it!!! Wow. I grabbed MAD music off of your iPod. And what did I find? A ton of songs you recorded for EL CHE. Maybe you shouldn't label the songs soo obviously.

This shit sounds incredible. Actually, this shit is HOT FIRE!!! Why isn't this shit out, nigga?

I got songs from your iPod. I'm going to leak a record from EL CHE every week until you drop a single or a video or some shit. The people have NO FUCKING IDEA how hot this shit sounds. Well, I'm going to show them. You had everything on your iPod. Even old, vintage shit. I'm gonna drop that, too. Until you or your weak-ass label keep your word and start dropping some fucking music. And, I'm not playing. I'm going to make you a better artist. I can't wait to see what you do.

Some idiots thought this was a marketing scheme brought out by Fest himself which is stupid. Fest isn't that type of rapper. And if you read the letter, it sounds like an obsessed fan acting stupid. He wants to be Captain Save Hip Hop. Anyway, Rhymefest responded and basically is calling his bluff:

Here's the Whole Letter. I'll just post an excerpt:

I don't wanna get dropped, I don't want bad relationships with Allido or any of the producers or artist feat. on my album who didn't get paid would bring. I DIDN"T DO THIS! And none of my niggaz would either. I don't know who this cat is. But if one of yall out there is good with computers find this dude 4 he do damage to more then just me. I love the people that support me but I wouldnt release my own songs and potentially kill my record sells again, that ain't smart or cool. Please somebody find this nigga!...

You ain't gotta like my shit, but gotdammit you will respect me as a man. Cuz at the end of the day I ain't no soft ass conscious rapper that won't punch a nigga in the face. I can take constructive critiques like I always have. But some of that hatin for no reason ain't called for. I never went out and talked about me and DRE or writing for the detox, thats shit that other niggaz did. I ain't no media whore. I make music cuz I love it. I make money without sellin my soul cuz I know how. Whoever can't respect that can keep riding your favorite radio rappers dick until it fall off in yo faggot ass!

So far, this guy has only released two records that Fest said were already out there anyway. So he thinks he's bluffing. Fest responded yesterday... if this were me. I'd drop a song about 10.5 SECONDS after I read that letter if I actually had something and I was a fucking idiot like this kid. But I'd keep it for me and some friends on some super exclusive shit. Actually, I think I'd return it. I wouldn't have stole it in the first place but if he left the shit. I'd try and return it to him AFTER I took everything off there. lol.

Anyway, what's yall opinion on this?

A Fresh BreakDown - Lil Wayne: The Carter III

Seriously though, love 'em or hate 'em, over-rated, under-rated, on-point, off target, gay, straight, whatever adjective you use... One thing you can't deny. He's been the hottest rapper for the past year and a half it seems. It's like Jay-Z in the late 90's, he's just on everybody's request for a feature (not sayin' Jay still ain't, but Jay's price is alil' to high for your average rapper.) Also, what you can't deny, Weezy F. made a big impact and people started payin' attention as soon as he started doin' these Carter sets. Also, this is when he put that Gillie style to good use. Wayne is often praised for the crazy flow, and unique swagger of his, but to most hip-hop purists, he's criticized for his lack of substance in songs and ability to be versatile on his LPs. And pressure would be a great understatement for the self-proclaimed "Best Rapper Alive." Well, lets see if the main meal lives up to the hype... Or did all those appetizers (mixtapes, different verses) spoiled the hungry belly.

Quick FYI, The Carter is a drug house basically. That's why the other CDs had the beginning concept that it had. Now, this CD starts off on "3 Peat," the name suggests it all, so right away, you can probably expect that this CD doesn't have that same "Lemme take you upstairs" kinda thing. He's mostly boastin up his flow, nuthin' we haven't heard from the mixtape, but nice beat, nice flow, coo lyrics keep the song an enjoyable song.

Then Wayne goes straight in with what people have been lookin' for since the "Hello Brooklyn" was more of Wayne singin' than rappin', a track with Jay-Z. With the Just Blaze produced track with "Mr. Carter" bein' repeated throughout the beat is a for-sure head rocker. Another boastful song, where Dwayne gets him two good verses in before Shawn gets his 16 in. And he pretty much staples the song his, lol. Wayne gets another crack in the end, but it kinda seemed like he was outta steam tryin' to keep up with Jay, cuz Jay didn't do the regular Jay verse in this song.

Up Next is the "A Milli" track, which I'm sure you've heard already, so I'm not gonna break it down. Followed by the "Got Money" track where him and T-Pain get to have fun with the lil' voice effects. Not much to say about this track, 'cept it's a decent lil' club song, with an OK hook. Nuthin' we haven't seen from Weezy before.

We finally hear the Kanye laced beat with Babyface on the hook, a very very nice love song. And Wayne's lyrics and flow blend in nicely with the beat and hook.

Up next is a song alil' left field called "Phone Home," and as the name suggests, Weezy's from another planet. With the David Banner produced track, he does alot more flow boastin', with a crazy lil' hook. Pretty coo' track though.

Up Next is a Swizz Beats laced track, where Wayne plays the part of a Dr. gettin' ready to operate on Hip Hop. Very clever song, and the beat is very very old schoo', this song SHOULD easily satisfy any hip hop purist, if not, they're hatin' on the lil' man with the long hair.

Now we finally get to hear a softer side of Wayne. Well, I wouldn't say softer side, I say he's more pissed on this track because you hear him talk about his hometown in the N.O. You'll hear things like "They took away the football team, basketball team, and only left me to represent for New Orleans." With Robin Thick on the hook, and Kanye West ontop of the beat, it's a great tribute to the good ol' N.O.

Then Weezy comes back for two straight tracks bringin' some more lyrical heat, one beat from Kayne West on "Shoot Me Down," where it has an ol' wild west kinda feel. Then he follows it up with the "Playin' With Fire" track.

After this, is followed up by the ladies' favorite, "LolliPop" so I ain't gonna say much 'bout it. After that it's a track with Brisco and Busta called "La La." It ain't hittin' on to much, pretty borin' hook, and dry beat, so if it wasn't for the above-average lyrics, it's be a below average track.

Now.. After this, has to be the best damn beat from the Alchemist, MY GOD! This beat. With alil' help from Fabolous (Who obliterates the beat) and Juelz, Wayne gets his bragg on again, and also gets to have fun with the voice effects. ( Jury rules in favor of Fabolous on this track, lol, but that's jus my opinion..) But this is one of those songs where you put in ya car... N you turn it up high as it can, cuz it's gonna tear up that sub-woofer, lol.

Now the last Kanye produced song on the CD is called "Let The Beat Build". Wayne kinda gets off to a pretty slow start flow-wise, and it pretty much stays the same for the most part, so the beat builds alil' faster than he does lyrically. But, he does do a nice job cleanin' the track up on tha 1st part.

Weezy's called on the help of another dread-headed fellow in Wyclef for the next track titled "Mrs. Officer." And he gets alil' help from Mr. Bobby Valentino who delivers a very very addictive hook. Mr. Carter talks about hittin' on a lady-police officer. Pretty unique track here, since he's not sayin' "Fuck The Police" in the song, lol. Much praise for this track Wayne. He comes up with all kinda catchiness in the song with things like "lady whats ya number, she said 911, emergency only.... Then I beat it like a cop." Lol, greatness.

The last track, Wayne gets into a 9 minute plus track where he doesn't wanna be "MisUnderstood." But. He doesn't rap the whole way, about 3 minutes in, he starts talkin', and gettin' real political. Givin' alil' knowledge to people who didn't know this stuff already, he even blesses me with some new in-sight, sorta. And even gets on Al Sharpton's head, lol.

Well, what can I say about Lil' Wayne this go-'round? Was he successful, maybe to any other artist, this CD is a success, but for all the hype Lil' Wayne generated, and all the pressure.. It didn't match up to it. And can you blame him? Well, partially, boastin' he's the best rapper alive, and makin' so many verses. But, it's not his fault he gets on everybody's mixtape cover, it's also not his fault that his label won't let him make different type of songs. And I've always said, and still believe that the label, and/or Baby, won't let him be diverse. And that's what this CD, like the last few CDs have lacked, a diverse track-list. We see, maybe a better rapper, but we don't see a better artist. Because we see nice boastin' tracks, but, how many times have we seen this before? The whole concept of the Carter wasn't even in there this time. This CD totally contradicts the statement "I don't get into that boastin' shit," that he said in "Best Rapper Alive" on The Carter II. Cuz this CD was all about the boastin', and you could prolly tell with the intro track bein' "3-Peat." Maybe next go-round we'll see the maturity.

Kanye West - Flashing Lights First Video

So, we're starting to see that EVEN the BEST have to work hard to stay on top. You see that kids? Remember the words of Nassir Jones "Nothing comes easy, it takes much practice" (c) Nas "I Can"

The first two flashing lights videos were not that great. Fans would have thrown a fit and said Yeezy fell off. Now, you either love the final one, or you're just jealous Yeezy was kickin it with Rita G.
