How Foul Is This: Nas "not allowed" to see the birth of his baby.

Got this tid bit from AllHipHop:

Hip-Hop star Nas is currently celebrating the birth of his son, although sources close to the rapper told AllHipHop.com that he was not allowed to witness the event.

Nas' lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan stated that Nas rushed to the hospital to witness Kelis deliver his first son today (July 21).

A source close to Nas told AllHipHop.com that the Queen's rapper missed the actual child birth.

“Nas is in New York City today, anxiously awaiting the arrival of his son. It was his intention to be there for the birth, but unfortunately he has not been allowed to be present,” a source close to the rapper told AllHipHop.com. “While this is clearly heartbreaking to him, Nas continues to offer his support and love to his new baby boy and his mother.”

Nas and Kelis were due in court today in regards to their pending divorce, specifically child and spousal support.

The date had to be postponed when Kelis, born Kelis Rogers , went into labor, around 10:30 this morning.

Nas and Kelis were married in January of 2005 after being engaged for two years.

Kelis filed for divorce in April of 2009, citing irreconcilable differences.

No further details were available as to why Nas may have been prevented from witnessing the birth of his son.

Nas, born Nasir Jones, also has a 12-year-old daughter with ex-fiancée Carmen Bryan.

She was outta pocket 'bout this one? What Yall Think?

Big Tune Winner: Nas -Film

Nas holds up his end of the bargain by releasing this new track with last year’s Red Bull “Big Tune” beat battle winner, 17 year old Charles “C-Sick” Dumazer. Dude uses a Toshiba laptop and FL Studios 7 software. Not to mention he utilizes Google to search for songs and sounds for his beats.

Shouts out to everyone that that showed up last year to see Brainstorm and Rising Sun murder that shit.

Let's go bury Nas again Jay, it's the ROC!! ( Last comment made just to make Mr. =!= growl n shit.)

DrewDown's Best 10 Albums of the Year & a few bad ones

In no particular order, sort of:

1. Elzhi - The Preface


Hands down. Classic. 5 stars. The whole Enchilada. This album will go down in history. Probably a sleeper too. Not to say anyone is going to underestimate the man's skill or anything, just guessing I won't see it on a lot of top 5 lists. Just know like they say at the end of Guessing Game "and by the way, Elzhi, That Niggas Better than You! Elzhi's better than you. He's better than you." lmao.

2. 88 Keys - The Death of Adam / Cold Case Files



Fuck it, the mixtape was classic, and so was the album. Mixtape was better than 90% of albums this year. I love music that I can relate to. Sadly both these gems had a lot of the skirt chasing stories of my past. I felt like there were some tracks I woulda traded from the tape to the album, and I was annoyed as hell that 88 keys won't rap without his altered voice but at least it wasn't auto-tune. I love albums that tell a whole story and actually succeed.


3. Solange Knowles - Sol-Angel & the Hadley St Dreams


Surprised the hell outta me. This album bangs.

4. The Roots - Rising Down


One of my favorite albums to drive fast with. Uptempo but dark and moody. Very different from the other roots albums. Killer.

5. Nas - Untitled


I kinda bump the Mixtape more than the album, but this was still a classic. I love it when artist touch on subjects that are kinda uncomfortable to talk about but need to be brought up. Like Kanye USED to with his self conscious shit. Now you can't tell him nothin. You can't even tell him he can't sing. lol.

6. Jake One - White Van Music


Not on here because he rep'd Seattle so damn hard. But on here because he spent like 2 years making a DAMN good album. The Truth was one of the best singles of the year. The release party was off the hook too.

7. Ne-Yo - Year of the Gentleman


I really enjoy this like I enjoy Kingdom Come. Not all the tracks are the best, but the content is mature and none of this "shake your junk" shit that happens too much. Hip-Hop needed this album. It just happened to be an R&B album.

8. Murs - Murs for President


Not up to par for a man who's last couple albums have been classics, but still a great album. The Hip-Hop version of Ne-Yo's joint?

9. Ludacris - Theater of the Mind


A great rebound album from Luda. The last one screamed 'gimmie a grammy' to me, and I wasn't feelin the whole runaway love stuff. He got it, so now he's back to his old self.

10. Common - UMC / Q-tip - The Renaissance



These albums were both so damn short. I had to count them as 1.

Honorable Mentions:
NERD - Seeing Sounds
Blu & Mainframe - Johnson & Johnson


Ok. A few bad ones:

Lil Wayne - Tha Carter 3


It had a few good joints, a few ok ones and a few bad ones, but it shouldn't be on ANYBODY's top 10 list.

T.I. - Paper Trail


Why does it seem I hear a lot of people saying this is T.I.'s Best Album? Did you guys ever listen to KING? Or for that matter ANY of his albums before that (except Ti. vs T.I.P.)

Ray J - All I Feel


You like to Trick? Really? See ya later Alligator. lmfao.

Bun B - II Trill


Rest in Peace PIMP C, but this was one of the worst albums I ever attempted to listen to all the way through a couple times just because I love Bun that much.

G-Unit - T.O.S.


More like P.O.S. - This goes under the Carter 3 definition but just a little bit worse. A few good tracks, not a lot of decent ones, a whole lot of bad ones. yyyyeeaaaaaNOOOO (c) Jim Carrey.

Kanye West - 808 & Heartbreaks


Give Kanye some singing lessons, Turn the autotune down just a tiny bit, change a few songs around and you've got a classic album. Don't do that, you've got a close but no cigar album. It didn't bug me as it bugged a lot of people I know that Yeezy can't sing. Cause this album definitely wasn't bad just wasn't that good.

There it is, folks. MINE. Agree? Disagree? Change? Way off Base? Mostly on Point? cuz it is fuck me, dwag, than you know its fuck you (c) DMX

EDIT:

Forgot to include probably the WORST album (no Trilla) of the year.
The Game- L.A.X.

I know it's a crowd favorite but this album was GARBAGE. MY LIFE was probably one of the worst songs I've heard in a long time. I fucked with the Dope Boys joint. Gotta love Beatles Samples.

Sample of the Week (Horror Movies)

So in the spirit of halloween. I done pissed myself off. I already did biterphobia which makes it's own sort of horror movie sound. So now, I'm gonna list everything I know can think of that samples some horror movies or has the spirit.


Mobb Deep - Horror Flick (No official sample, but bites the usual halloween sound)

Biter: RBX f. Lady of Rage - Murder Inc (Writer: Halloween)

Biter: Prodigy f. Nas - Self Conscience (Writer: The Exorcist)

Biter: Canibus - Genabis (Writer: Candyman)

Biter: Group Home - Straight Brooklyn (Writer: The Burning)

Biter: Gravediggaz - Diary of a Madman (Writer: Devil's Nightmare)

I feel like there's a ton more out there. H Dilla who happens to be the #1 horror movie fan on earth can probably name off a ton more. But since I don't want to be up all night trying to find old ass records (can anyone find me that RBX track?). I'll stick with the simple halloween related sample. :)

Biter: The Game - Ghost Unit (Intro)
(Push Yayo back to Christmas Eve)

I don't know about ya'll. but I fuxed with this album. I remember the day Henry put it in the car. We spent many days laughing our asses off to the money mike / young gunz diss. lol.

Writer: Ghostbusters Theme Song


Anyway while you're in the mood check out URB mags run down of five classic hip-hop videos that might make the weaker of y'all wet the bed. 5 Classic Scary Music Videos

Holler.

The Best Rapper Alive - Vibe Magazine

I remember when this was going on at first and then I forgot about it. It's the finals week and it's down to Jay-Z vs Eminem.

Which is a respectable final. But let's look at the process it took to get here.

Final 4 / Elite 8:

Jay-Z > Kanye West
Eminem > Nas
Ludacris > Lil Wayne
The Game > Andre 3000

You can make an argument for all of these. Except THE GAME over Andre 3000. smh. That's all I can do. Everyone is sippin the Game juice right now. His album is getting amazing reviews everywhere I turn from normally level headed people. I think I need to listen to it again. Maybe it's just The Drop-Bomb Crew that thinks the shit sucks. Except for Fresh. He probably loves it. lol.

Soulful Sundaes: Jon B - Finer Things feat. Nas

The Game- LAX Tracks (Letter to the King, More)

A Few Tracks THE WHOLE DAMN ALBUM is leaking. The levees are failing.

* The Game - Letter to the King f. Nas (prod. Hi-Tek)
* The Game - Angel f. Common
* The Game - Ya Heard f. Ludacris (prod. Nottz)
* The Game - Bulletproof Diaries f. Raekwon
* The Game - State of Emergency f. Ice Cube
* The Game - Gentleman’s Affair f. Ne-Yo


Shout out to the NMC for all these.

Belly 2 - Starring ... The Game?

I'm pretty sure the poster is fake. Looks like a bad photoshop, but I still thought I'd post it.

DMX has confirmed that a sequel to the Hip-Hop cult film Belly is in the works titled Beast.

"It's me, Nas and Hype, [Williams, the director of the film]. I go and get [Nas' character in Africa]," DMX told AllHipHop.com. "We start filming this year."

Released in 1998, Belly is an urban drama centered around Tommy (DMX) and Sincere (Nas), former partners in crime who become estranged after Sincere decides to go straight and Tommy takes on a major drug deal from a Jamaican drug lord.

"We got a sick story and all that," DMX continued. "We're starting this one off how the last one ended and pick it up from there."

The film, which featured Taral Hicks, rappers Method Man and Vita, dancehall artist Louie Rankin and T-Boz from TLC, marked the feature film directorial debut of music video director Hype Williams.

Williams collaborated with Nas on the movie's screenplay.

Like Williams, Belly marked DMX's first venture in to feature films.

The rapper was slated to star in the drama Marble City, but was dropped by the film's producers and replaced by Ving Rhames.

As of press time, there is no word on when Beast will be released theatrically.

This is all assuming DMX can stay the fuck out of jail.

The Best Rapper Alive - VIBE.COM

If you're any good at those NCAA Mens BBall Tourney Brackets. You might appreciate Vibes new approach to finding out who is the best rapper alive.

Everyone has to vote for a week or two and then the person with the most votes advances. From 64 Emcee's down to 1. Although some of the seedings are tough for certain rappers who might deserve to go further and vica versa overall the good ones get through.

Click HERE to vote and if you want to view one mans opinion you can click here.

If I had voted before 7.15.08 the outcome might have been different but as of late I've been very impressed with a certain GANGSTER RAPPER. Those that know me. Might be surprised.

Now if we were going to do a pool of who is going to win. I would fill out my bracket a little differently.

A few upsets I WOULD pick differently:

Beans over Jada
KW over Q-tip
and MAYBE
Common over 3000

but other than that. It should come down to the typical battle.

Nas on the Colbert Report. Funny stuff. And a Bonus Nas performance

Nas Delivers Petition to Fox

Nas and The Fox News Fuckery

At 2 PM tomorrow, rap star Nas will deliver a petition — organized by Color of Change and Move On.org and signed by 600,000 people — to Fox News’s Manhattan headquarters, calling on the network to “stop its racist smears against the Obamas and other Black Americans.”

Nas also takes the network to task in a new song, “Sly Fox,” which includes the lyrics, “I pledge allegiance to the fair and balanced truth/Not the biased truth/Not the liar’s truth/But the highest truth.”

On a seperate but related note:
The UK arm of the Sly Fox, The Sun had this black boat man Photoshopped out of a picture showing Britain’s Prince Harry during a Royal Navy exercise.



I smell a fox news photoshop contest coming up next week after the rick ross one. lol.

Shout out to photoshopdisaters there's some interesting stuff over there.

Someone wanna find me more information on this Sun boat story?
