BILLY X. SUNDAY stays giving the people what they want.
Survey says that the people who frequent XXL mag dot com are mostly into shit other than music. The Chris Brown beatdown of his former beatbox Rihanna is now the most discussed story while the ongoing internets shenanigans of the raptors Fisty Scent and Rick Raws is more popular than the music they are releasing as the soundtrack. Rap music now has to play the background to weblogs about… Rap music.
Don’t act like you didn’t see this coming. This is what you asked for. You were gullible enough to imagine that someone had amassed wealth from illicit narcotics trafficking prior to recording songs in which he claimed to be a wealthy narcotics trafficker. Enough of you bought into that fantasy to let the survey takers know that you would also consume ringtones over orchestral productions. This simultaneously followed the idea that simple call and response lyrics were more palatable than rhymes containing too many polysyllabic words.
As the music component of Hip-Hop was dumbed down for packaging the audience followed suit. Why do you think the WWE has such a tremendous following in the south, midwest and Philidelphia? This is where the dumbest populations in America reside and where they crave the entertainment of actors dressed up in underwear grabbing each other’s crotches. Wrestling was always the pastime for teh ghey mongoloids. Professional wrestling is definitely entertaining but the viewers with any sense have left reality at the door. We know the actors all have lunch together from the same craft services buffet table.
Rick Ross had his actor facade removed last year with the disclosure that he was formerly a correction officer prior to his career change to a recording artist. Fifty Cent was on a downward trajectory since releasing his monumental album Get Rich or Die Trying back in 2003. These two artists needed this Vince McMahon type excitement to justify the amounts of money that their respective labels have invested in them. What the labels should be doing is arranging for a cage match between the two since the survey says that is what the fans want to consume. Are music labels ready to convert themselves into fight, er, concert promoters?
All that is left now is the spectacle since we are no longer interested in the lyrics or the music. At the end of the day the so-called fans gathered around for the negativity and the controversy. And you know whose legacy those marketing strategies belong to…
Tupac.
too true
“This is where the dumbest populations in America reside and where they crave the entertainment of actors dressed up in underwear grabbing each other’s crotches. ”
So true.
I’m enjoying the shit out of this ninjitsu. As much as I hate Fisty, I think Rawss was even a bigger sham the minute he came out. He talked a lot of mess about (the Real) Noriega owing him favors, and jacking his name from a convicted kingpin (who has gone on record saying that Rick Ross never reached out to him nor have they ever talked all though RAWSS said they did). I always enjoy a good exposure especially when its as CB4-eqsue as this dude.
BTW – Rick RAWSS. Ricky Donell Ross gets out later this year. You better get your chips (or explanations) up.
Chris Brown: (on the phone) whats up hoe
Rhianna: (in trinidadi or wtf ever she from voice) oh no u not talking up some hoe. (slaps CB)
Chris Brown: Is Chris Brown gonna have to smack a bitch
SMH
I think we all learned sometimes these bitches be outta pocket. I heard Officer Rickey was the first responding officer on the scene

That’s real talk. I was dying when I read that. *smh* @ grown folks that watch wrestling.
at least everyone’s better off than Robbie Alomar….

2 Mexi men!!! jeeezz!
The sad thing is I don’t think ‘Pac was all into beef for the marketing of it. He’d really convinced himself that he was some type of legit thug (heh, oxymoron), and what’s worse he thought he was spearheading a genuine movement with it.
But enough Tupac…I refuse to click on any more 50 Cent-in-a-wig/Rick Ross sweating-pork-chop-grease beef videos. It’s too corny at this point.
I take regional stabs at the readers on XXL all the time. It’s kind of my meme now. True story is that NYC might be the dumbest big city of them all with all of their Crips and Bloods wannabes.
Shit ain’t been the same since Snoop crushed the buildings
Thinking and independent thought is played out.
Heaven forbid I listen to a song that doesn’t get any radio or club play. Shit I’ll take it one step further, let me have my swag so fresh that my jeans are either too tight or falling off my ass (wait, why not both?). Yea, that’s some real gutter shit right there fam.
You see that new diss track on youtube? Man…we gotta go see that shit right now…it was crazy son.
Nah, we shouldn’t even eph with class today because this is more important. New Jordans come out today and I’m not even trying to eph with school anymore cuz because I can just stack paper as a dope boy…but yeah i wanna “go” to college.
Naw fam, I’m not even trying to listen to Tribe…when did Indians start rapping anyway? You go ahead an invest in your future…I’m gonna invest in fuckery.
Thinking is played out.
I dare you say this again, Dallas!
Also, while I don’t disagree with your jist (ll), it’s really hard to say the Sowf or Midwest or anywhere are THAT much fucking dumber than the most dumbass parts of NYC– I think there’s just as much ig’nance in Park Slope or Williamsburg as there is in, say, Birmingham Alabammy or wherever. And since I had fam in Memphis, I can tell you when we kids that Southern wrasslin’ >>>>>> the Vince McMahon horseshit, word to your Superfly Snuka.

Why you always stinging Philly, D? You know you need that Steak Whiz With. Don’t front.
Me and Philly is all love. I give Philly they hardbody respect but Philly, and Pennsylvanis for that matter is full of inbred mutants. True story.
Whiz on steaks is for suckas… My 6 years in Illadelph it was always about that provolone…
40 — smart man.
this dude is the next lil wayne.
