NahRight.com is hands down one of the internets best rap music sites. If you love arguing with people over the internets about GAY-Z, SHAM’ROCK, PIDDY, FIDDY and layme GAYME you will have a ball with all the assorted characters that frequent the site. They are all individually passionate about Hip-Hop even if the people they love are ultimately dispassionate about their fans.
I used to go there to start trouble but once the kids realized that I was closer in age to 40 than to 30 they stopped paying me any mind. Anyhoo, I can always come here to voice my opinions and be heard by no one. Well not exactly no one, TONY makes sure that he gives me feedback at least once a day so I write this shiite for him(no HEATH LEDGER to that last sentence).
A couple of weeks ago, crappy Philly crapper CASSIDY n/k/a KILLA CAZ was sentenced to 24 weeks of prison for involuntary manslaughter. The jury considered the shooting death of 22year old DESMOND HAWKINS involuntary because CASSIDY had already warned everybody in his song ‘I’ma Hustler’ that, “try to take my cake you gone take a slug”. The jury’s decision was ultimately to charge DESMOND’s death to ‘the game’.
Now just this past weekend another person was killed for the sake of producing more ‘real talk’ rap music. ISREAL RAMIREZ was hired to protect BUSTA RHYMES jewelry during a music video shoot in Brooklyn. Fantasy became reality and there ended up being an actual ‘shoot’. RAMIREZ appears to have been the only one injured, but there was a grip of production money wasted in the downtime and postponement of the video. I am sure that Interscope will be charging those fees to BUSTA’s account.
Instead of respecting the crap music code of silence and anonymous innuendo the NYC police are trying to question witnesses. Why can’t the police wait for the single to be released like the rest of us? I don’t blame BUSTA RHYMES either, but this delicate economy has forced even him to consider a makeover in order to remain commercially viable.
Who would have thought that good ol’ fun loving BUSTA RHYMES would embrace the dark side and become a ‘studio gangsta‘? Not to say that BUSTA was ever a punk azz dude, which he was not, he was never someone that was a follower either. As a matter of fact, he was at one time a leader. This I believe is what crap music suffers from now, a lack of real leadership. Label execs fall over one another to recreate last month’s popular record. The format is filled with automatic machine guns, cocaine and strippers repeated ad naseum. People like DESMOND HAWKINS, ISRAEL RAMIREZ and TUPAC SHAKUR are simply the collateral damage in the corporate formula. I think that TUPAC realized this minutes before he died.

i read this blog everyday. don’t think the work’s going unappreciated. keep it up! (nh)
Busta always had a little thug in him. You can hear it in a lot of his music (Hell, he is of Jamaican heritage). But you are right about these corporate bloodsuckers. If you aren’t following the formula, then you don’t get signed, played, or backing. This is why there is such a dearth of creativity in music, especially rap.
And I read your blog everyday, even if I don’t post.
Damn, KILLER post. The only thing I can think of that’s worse than dying over rap music is dying over some fucking cartoon. In both cases it’s hard to believe that a form of artistic expression intended to celebrate life is responsible for death but that’s not really the case . . . it’s mainly people out to make a money or a point that are responsible for most of this world’s tragedy. No homo for these thoughts and the fact that Dallas Penn dot com is basically my favorite site on the Internet and that’s including porn.
No brokeback Tony, and that says a lot coming from you.
I am cracking the whip even harder now on the staffers because of your reply.
Frankly, I’m surprised fiddy isn’t in the mix somewhere, fingering the culprits (extra double brokeback).
What I’m trying to figure out is what flavor peanut butter you got on OGD. Hot damn the people are on your stick…
Personally, I think dp.com is aight. I miss the porn.
