cRap Music Fantasy League – Q4 cRap-Up

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

keys

Now if you told me that ALICIA KEYS was going to be the MVP for the Q4 of the cRap Music Fantasy League I would not have believed you. Mr. KEYS is certainly a formidable blue chip prospect, but she would have to beat out the 2007 Q3 MVP as well as El Presidente Hovito who normally pwns crap music fourth quarters.

ALICIA KEYS did it though with her double platinum album, ‘As I Am’ along with her television and charity concert appearances. Finally a cRap Music Fantasy League star that actually scores points based on talent and putting in work, as opposed to just shooting someone and getting arrested. Take a look at the top 10 cRap Music scoring stars…

Alicia Keys 2900
Jay-Z 2450
TI 2125
Kanye West 2050
Common 1400
Pimp C 1200
50 Cent 1050
Lil Wayne 1025
Diddy 1000
T-Pain 600

As you can clearly see, A. KEYS was the boss bitch for the Q4. Jay-Z followed her closely thanks to the media push for his latest album. T.I. used his motion picture role and a multi-count Federal indictment to earn his spot. KanYe’s last album sales have slowed, but the death of his beloved mother gave his score a bump. Common is a top 5 alive cRapper. Pimp C broke into the top 10 for the first, and more than likely the last time by earning a thousand points for his demise. 50 Cent is one of the usual suspects, while Diddy and Lil’ Wayne show their ability to come up in the game without even releasing any music.

If your record label had a majority of these cRappers then you were more than likely going to compete for the Q4 crown. As it stands now two labels are actually tied for first place coming into the final days of the contest. The winner won’t be announced until January 1st so anything can happen from now until then.

  • Money Makes You Blind to the Plight of Your People Award

    wanksters

    We have two winners for which cash rules everything around them: Jay-Z and Denzel Washington. Denzel who won the Best Actor Academy Award and thanked us by e-mailing in a sleepwalking, blunted, dazed and confused performance in ‘American Gangster’ and Jay-Z, who was embraced by the corporate world and rose to head the once mighty Def Jam Records regresses and instead of even making a pretense of being a role model to millions of at risk youth instead runs like a whore to an easy sell and quick money with his latest “pretend drug dealer” album also titled ‘American Gangster’. We have the right to expect more from these two men, they know better, but like they say in the streets, “A pimp will sell his own ass even when his whore won’t sell hers.”

    The Blind Leading The Blind Award
    This award has to be shared by many who have worked so long and so hard to win top billing in this category…

  • BET-Just when you thought they had reached rock bottom, they sink lower
  • Vibe-Just look at the size of it, down from a healthy 200 pages to 45 pages and 40 of them are ads.
  • Cornel West and Michael Eric Dyson-Two speed talking shit talkers who decided there was a buck to be made by finishing every paragraph with phrases cribbed from crappy rap songs.
  • Put A Quarter In Yo’ Ass Because You Played Yourself Hip Hop Award

    hustler al

    The unanimous winner Al Sharpton who went after Don Imus, an old, drug addled mush mouth, and caused him to get fired from a 5 million dollar radio gig and then rehired for 20 million cash while making “Nappy Headed Hoes” the most Google’d comment in internets history.

    Keeping the ‘Ho’ In Hip-Hop Award

    roboho

    By keeping her mouth shot and keeping a pole between her legs Beyonce is making sure we will have a generation of prostitutes to fill the streets for years to come.

    Human Water Bug Award

    condiskeezer

    For the extreme effort exerted by both and for the total disregard of all other Black Women so that they can get their twisted shine. These two bone ugly, mindless, heartless and soulless skanks share equal billing New York (from Vh-1’s reality show) and Condoleeza Rice.

    Lifetime Wigger Award

    timberfake

    From Mickey Mouse dancing to banging Britney Spears to his cowardly cop out of the infamous “wardrobe malfunction” with Janet Jackson. It boggles the mind that no one has nominated him for this award before. Justin Timberlake gets a slice of bronzed white bread to put on his mantle piece.

    es dubbz SHORTY WHITEBREAD says…
    “Fuck that wigger!

    He gets nathan.”

    PIMPIN’ INCORPORATED…

    Thursday, December 13th, 2007

    ike

    Somebody need to pour some good shit on the ground for a real pimp. Real pimps don’t have to put the word ‘pimp’ in their names. You already know. Respect the motherfucker that singlehandedly made you change the name of tank top t-shirts.

    And don’t pour out no fag ass liquer either. Get that good shit off your top shelf. That Patron motherbitches, because this nigga is only coming back in reruns. Before there was a RICK JAMES, there was an IKE TURNER. Before there was a CHARLIE SHEEN on the scene IKE TURNER was knocking broads unconscious.

    There are times when you need to knock a chick the fuck out. I didn’t say hurt her, or even bruise her, but knock her ass the fuck out. Like, “Biiiiiiiiitch! Stop talking that shit, and suck a nigga dick for an outfit”.

    And then she might say some shit like, “It must be the money ‘cuz it ain’t yo’ dick!”

    Which is all good and then you say, “Work that ass a lil’ harder and this nigga might buy you a Starter.”

    And then shorty says some shit about your momma…

    You have to knock that chick out and steal her seat while she is asleep. This is the lesson that IKE TURNER taught us. Just look at how well it paid off for TINA TURNER. Her nutbush ass is still wearing mini skirts and high heels at damn near seventy years old. You’d still hit that shit too. I know I would. Not in an IKE TURNER way, but like in the biblical sense.

    This drop isn’t posted to make fun of IKE TURNER’s life or death. More than anything this is a realization that during the course of relationships shit can get really physical(no OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN). Respect due to all the women that can take an ass kicking too without resorting to drugs or alcohol to self medicate.

    Basically, the masochists. I see y’all out there.
