cRap Music Fantasy League Q3 Update #3

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

birdbrains

LIL’ WANG took a minute away from kissing BIRDBRAIN to perform a concert here in New York City. Afterwards, he along with his new duet partner JA RULE were summarily arrested for firearms possession. Even though the arrests happened in seperate incidents I connect the two because they both involved the exact same model pistol and both guns were unloaded.

WTF?!?

LIL’ WANG, you are not a shooter if your gun has no bullets. At least the arrest netted a cool 100 pts each to the label owners that have WANG and JA RULE. Combined with the points from the new Ozone magazine cover and the New York Times concert review, LIL’ WANG gets on the scoreboard with 150 pts. The two biggest winners for week 4 are T.I. and KELLZ. Both of these artists garnered 500 pts for their RIAA gold album certifications. Moving right along we still have Pretty Dollar Entertainment in the lead, but there are two big months left in the Q3 cRap Music Fantasy League. Let’s check out the leader board…

twerk Blue & Crème Entertainment
When asked what this record label brought to the game and why any artist would want to sign with them this is what the homey Twerkolater said…” “.

‘Nuff said.


buffoonery Buffoonery Records
Buffoonery Records went against the grain by choosing a roster of artists that aren’t likely to score too many points. Big Boi, Cam’ron, Jadakiss, Jim Jones, Rah Digga, T-Pain, Young Buck.

They do have Lil’ Wang though.


dubble up. Dubble Up Entertainment
Dubble Up Entertainment might be the only label willing to sign TONI BRAXTON to a multi album deal. The roster consists of solid blue chip cRap stars like 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Lil’ Wayne, R Kelly and Remy Ma. The dark horses are Cam’Ron and Uncle Murda. If either of those dark horses gets active Dubble Up could go all the way.

THE CLASH OF TEH GHEY TITANS…

Friday, July 20th, 2007

wonder twins

cRap music’s biggest story this week on the internets was the proposed rescheduling of KANYE WEST’s third studio album tentatively titled ‘Graduation’. Instead of pushing the album backwards due to productions delays (read: no buzz) it was reported that the album would be delivered to retail outlets several weeks forward. The date also coincides with the scheduled release of the latest 50 Cent project, aptly named ‘Curtis’. The date falls on the second Tuesday in September. This year that would be September 11th.

Think of the history that date has for Hip-Hop from Public Enemy’s ‘911 Is A Joke’ to Jay-Z’s release of the ‘Blueprint’ on the same day that terrorists attacked New York City. The Twin Towers were like a beacon for me when I was driving north on I-95. They let me know I was almost home. They also represented the height of commerce. When FISTY say that he put quarter water in a bottle and sold it for two bucks he wasn’t lying. There’s is prah’lee some place on the internets where people are discussing the mystic ramifications of releasing these records on that fateful day. Then again, prahlee not. One thing is for sure, ‘Clash Of The Titans’ is a teh ghey film classic, and so is this battle.

clash of the titans

Let’s look at a tale of the tape and see if we can predict the winner of this mega-star matchup…

FISTY SCENT is a record selling monster and he represents himself mostly as the MIKE TYSON of rap music. Ornery and unpredictable. The public persona that always wears the du-rag, even when conducting an orchestra, is so popular in the red states you would think it’s the sequel to ‘Birth Of A Nation’. What else would you expect for a guy that has sold a billion million records? KANYE, not so much. KANYE WEST though, has skills on the microphone. In a few years he has upgraded his flow from pedestrian to McClaren S55. That’s like going from Polo bear sweaters to R.L. Purple Label suede car coats.

wonder twins

KANYE has transformed himself into a compelling artist. FISTY appears headed in the reverse direction. Until he saved his ‘Curtis’ album with the summer street anthem ‘I Get Money’, FISTY SCENT was scrambling from the effects of the unfavored early singles. I liked the ‘Amusement Park’ video, but ultimately it was too formulaic and therefore it couldn’t push the single. Meanwhile, KANGHEY has been killing shit on the internets and the television. The ‘Stronger’ video is the joint and ‘Can’t Tell Me Nothing’ is another winner.

I never forget the time I went to see Def Poetry Jam at the Supper Club and MOS DEF introduced KANGAYE as the savior of Hip-Hop music. I thought MOS was shooting hyperbole like a basketball and he was giving this dude props like MAGIC JOHNSON *pause*. Here I am six years later looking through that past prism and seeing what he meant. There is a balance that Hip-Hop must employ to be it’s best. It has to match it’s own desire for conspicuous consumption with a conscious consideration for all the people that don’t have the means. It has to have a witty ignorance. More than anything else, Hip-Hop has to make you inspired to dream about a better life.

I give this matchup to YE TUDDA because he makes the freshest music, and because these ‘College Dropout’ Air Max 180’s are fucking chuuuurch!

cRap Music Moguls Stand Up!!!

t.i.

These drops will be done periodically to introduce all of the labels owners to one another. To give us an idea of who is playing and what their strategies might be. I expect to have the complete roto system integrated into the game for the next quarter so this will mean that we can alter our rosters in mid season whenever we choose. Then this game will get bananas.

In the meantime and in between time check out some of the label owners that are part of the movement…

iFux iFUX Entertainment
iFux Entertainment is ready for prime time although they haven’t joined the scoring board yet. They selected a longshot from the west coast named Mitchy Slick. Too bad for iFux that Mitchy released his album last quarter. This label still holds blue chippers like Kanye West and Lil’ Wayne so he won’t go scoreless for too long.

iFux Is Hip-Hop was borne from his desire to bring his ideas and lifestyle into the blogosphere. Fux is a well known Nah’Right acolyte and he is quickly establishing a lane on the internets with his iCandy drops. Definitely check dude’s shit out.


problematik Flatline Records
We’re like killin’em in the streets

This is the homey P-Matik‘s record label. P shored up his roster with a bunch of the usual blue chip artists – Jigga, Fif, Wayne and ‘Ye. You can’t be mad either with T-Pain, Fab, Foxy and Young Buck backing him up. On paper this is a pretty complete roster. The only question is will all the artists perform up to their potential?

When I asked P why would an artist want to be signed to his label he responded, “I’m the Ariel Sharon of this rap sh*t!”

F.Y.I. on the scale of hardbody tall Israelis…
ARIEL SHARON >>> LYOR COHEN


m.c. Mental Calisthenics Records
DP Dot Commenter LION XL put together this label of artists and he even selected Pharoe Monch, as well as NaS and Ghostface, so I know that as a label owner he values art over commerce. Sure he has Wayne, Neyo and Juelz Santana, but he isn’t in this pool to win this shit if he has to compromise his core values. On second thought, dude has Jim Jones and Foxy.

The chances of Jimmy scoring another hit equal to ‘We Fly High’ are slim to none, but who knows, he may get arrested for looking like a MICHAEL VICK pit bull.


bamboozled Bamboozled Records
Bamboozled Records is also helmed by a fellow blogger, LL (not the rappa), and their roster is comprised of blue chippers Jay-Z, TI and Lil’ Wayne, but it will be up to longshots like Keisha Cole, Casssidy and Papoose to help her win this round.

Ramblings Of An Island Girl discusses everything from entertainment to the design aesthetic of classic post-modern architecture. LL is smart like that.


Awwww ish! The iNternets Celebrities are back at it with a brand new mixtape from the Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival. This joint is all about the Do’ and the Don’ts when you are at an outdoor concert.

Do: Watch this video.

More i.C. shenanigans here and here.

BILLY SUNDAY’s Easy Guide To Meeting A Summer Jumpoff…

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

hook up

What’s the smell party people? We’re knee deep into the summer now so I hope you cats are getting your swerve right. What is better than the summer for hooking up with some strange poon and stretching that love into the fall? Not past Thanksgiving though, because that is when you enter gift giving season with Chanukkah and Kwanzaa around the corner. The idea is to find someone that you can pick up again after Valentime’s Day. That may sound like the mythic Holy Grail of poontang, but I am here to show you how to bag up one of these summertime jumpoffs.

It ain’t where you’re from, it’s where you’re at and you need to put yourself in some particular locations in order to secure the perfect jumpoff that will be intrigued to your slightly uncouth mannerisms. Hoodrats are out of the question because they already know game. The type of chicks that you want to hook up with are almost nerds themselves. Sexy female nerds that work in advertising or telecommunications. These broads have good jobs and can afford to pay for their own Chipotle. Peep some of the locations and techniques for you to smash some quality action…

library

The Library
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know it sounds corny, but trust me, a chick that can read is usually more freaky than a broad who just watches the tube. Go read some Victorian-era erotic romance novels while your there in the library. That shit is all about bondage, rape and submission. Good shit. The library will always be good money ground zero for bagging up official nerd chicks.

clean rite

The Laundromat
True story is that I was having poetry readings at the Clean-Rite on Fulton Street. If you came through and read some work I would give you free fabric softener. It was a pop off for a few weeks thanks in part to the movie ‘Love Jones’. The laundry is sick if you stay focused. You can peep the types of underwear that a shorty wears which will alert you to your prospect’s freak flag. Avoid the chicks with several pairs of crotchless drawls. You don’t want to fall in love with a stripper.

dmv

The Department of Motor Vehicles
The DMV is another great spot because this lets you know that shorty has some kind of whip. It’s always playerific to be driven around by your shorty. Your advantage to introducing yourself are the long lines and the fact that everyone hates coming to the DMV. Strike up a convo, but try not to sound like a cornball. Tell honey that you are getting your license re-instated after your suspension from driving the getaway car in a bank robbery. Then laugh afterwards and say that your are joking, but not really.

chuuurch

The Church
Whoa. Relax. There is nothing sacrilegious about going to church to bag up a lunchable. What’s more righteous than the union of man, woman and child? She doesn’t have to know that you are going to avoid the child part. Plus there are hundreds of different types of churches that you can fuck with. I prefer the Catholic churches because they have the hot-blooded Latin broads. Their repressed Catholic upbringing has them ready to almost give you head in the church basement. And you don’t even want to know how the rectory got it’s name.

whole foods

The Supermarket
Supermarkets like Whole Foods are the hottest new meeting spaces. You can monitor the lifestyle of someone by the groceries they consume. You can also fool a broad into thinking that you might have some culture when you pick out some weird vegetable or a stinky ass cheese. I go to Whole Foods when I am looking for some of the “other” white meat, and no, I don’t mean lean pork. Here’s an important question that I like to ask chicks… Garlic or cilantro? If she says cilantro then you want to fuck with her. Garlic? Not so much.

myspace

The MySpace
After several years MySpace is still doing its thing. Facebook is a little more classy, but if you are trolling the internets looking for something tender to smash then who cares which site you use as long as she is cute in the face and small in the waist. Hell, get your ass on fucking BlackPlanet or MiGente if you have to. Just don’t let August roll around and you are still masturbating. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

So there you have it players and playerettes, your cousin BILLY SUNDAY’s guide to getting yourself right this summer. Love? What’s love got to do with it?

cRap Music Fantasy League Q3 Update #2

remy mess

Remy Mess!

Dayum! I can’t even take off a weekend without some cRapper trying to kill someone just to raise their hardbody quotient. It had been a pretty slow news week as far as points makers were concerned in the cRap Music Fantasy League. Fisty finally got on the cRap Music scoring board and caught some points for his XXL magazine cover and his new video ‘I Get Money’ and T.I. added some more points to his overall score for his cover on Vibe mag. Look out for T.I. to receive his gold certification this week although I don’t imagine that even half the people that supposedly bought his album the first week will be lining up for the joint this week.

So Remy Martin gets herself into the action by attempting some murdahhhhhh! WTF?!? The story is that Remy Ma put her bag down while she was partying in a club in New York’s trendiest area, the Meatpacking district(extra nullus). When she retrieved her bag she was light on cash to the tune of $2000. I don’t know about y’all but two stacks is a serious piece of change for someone who hasn’t made a hit song in forever. That might be the last bit of homegirl’s ‘Lean Back’ scrilla. Remy then flipped on her homey assigned to hold her weed purse. When the smoke cleared Remy was indicted on several charges ranging from attempted homicide, to assault and possession of a firearm. You would have to agree this was an extra hardbody weekend for Remy Ma. What this will mean for her and the August release of her latest album, ‘The BX Files’, I can’t call it, but if Lil’ Kim’s stint in the Feds was any indication… Jail does not equal record sales. She won’t be smiling on Riker’s Island.

Let’s take a look at the leader board right now for the cRap Music Fantasy League…

Pretty Dollar Entertainment 1750
DubbleUP Entertainment 1375
Ambulance Entertainment 850
Diamond Ballers Records 775
Yes Baby Yes Entertainment 775
20/20 Proof Records 675
Rainmen Records 650
Harleyworld Music 650
Game One Records 650
Sheem-Deem Entertainment 650
Blue & Creme Entertainment 650
America Done Fell Off Records 650
Renegade Records 650
Grand Theft Audio Records 650
Gain Green Records 650
11206 Records 650
BlackStar Records 650
Smart-Dumb Rappers Records 650

Pretty Dollar Entertainment has jumped out to a strong lead early in this round and we are still ten more weeks away from deciding a winner. Who the hell knows what promotional stunts and shenanigans will be going on for the rest of the summer. So keep it locked here for the DP Dot Com cRap Music Fantasy League.
