Yung Buck vs 50 Cent

Now I usually don't give space to blog about all the beef casserole goin down in Hip Hip right now, but here is something real -- not a bunch of taunts via the media and mix tapes to make money, but an actual conversation between 50 and Young Buck.

Yeah it's all part of the beef between the two, but the convo gives some insight into the business...50 may have released this to embarrass Buck, but on the real it gives some insight and may even make u have some compassion for Buck -- the brotha is obviously strugglin to do what he feels is right and endeavoring to keep his head and money together, as well as mend the wounds between him and 50.


Flava disclaimer -- there's some cussin' Parental advisory recommended. lol




I always wondered why it seems everyone in G-Unit has to be a 50 cent cheerleader. Now I have a clue -- it seems 50 is like a "father" or a pimp-pastor to these dudes; he gives them guidance , "the truth", and money/opportunity and then they "owe" him thier lives and loyalty. Don't upset the God- father! I felt like I was listening to a convo between a pimp and a whore, not friends...("Please don't cut me off from the fam, I was just confused man...")

I wondered if Buck knew 50 was recording this personal coversation. (If not, he may be able to sue) That ain't friendship, it's just mad tacky and manipulative. 50 got some serious control issues.

And now with Buck's pride hurt (and obviously his pocket), it's war.
Buck responds and says the tape was a year old. Peep his response in full here. (parental advisory) It's a hot track if I do say so myself.

They both need to learn from Lil Wayne and his daddy, Birdman. Just kiss and make up...

Btw Lil Wayne has moved 1 million units of Carter III thus far, despite the leak. A Milli, A Milli, A Milli....

Amy Winhouse's racist video

Here it is in all its glory!




So Ms. Winehouse & friends tell us how u truly feel about the people whose music you apparently pimp. Shame shame. Can we blame it on the crack or can we just say that what people do and say behind closed doors reveals their true colors? What do u think?

New Hip Hop Movie!

Peep this trailer for a new Greek Hip Hop documentary. It is Tiiiiiiiiight!
Even though it is primarily in Greek, I want to see it. They got a whole section on beatboxing. No need to understand Greek or English to appreciate that. I'm also lovin the cinematography. I'm going to have stop by a greek video store and see if I can cop this joint. This movie should make all Hip Hop headz from all over proud.



Don't sleep! Hip Hop history is so much more than the South Bronx, NWA, Biggie and 2pac (but ya'll knew that already). Holla!

Move over Simpsons. Peep this Latino Hip Hop show!

Check out this comedy show. It is a set of small figurines interviewing different artists, entertainers, spoofing different shows etc.. On this episode, they talked to the group Crooked Stilo. Even the camera angle is set up so that the artists look like they could be talking to the dolls. It's cute, effective, informative and even funny.

El Salvador, "Crooked Stilo with the Homies Hip Hop Show"


The show is out of California. Could u see it on regular MTV or BET? Why or why not?
Peep the Homies Myspace page.

The Hip Hop Kings of Russia

I came across this mini documentary on Hip Hop culture in Russia 2000. It amazes me how much of the traditional Hip Hop culture like graffiti lives just as much as the music and dance.

Before you take look, ask yourself what you think Hip Hop in Russia would be like. Then see how your image stacks up to those in the documentary.

On a whole other tip, I think the narrator's voice makes me feel like I am watching National Geographic or something...

Hip Hop Heroes - Underground Kings 2000 pt 2


So did it change what you think about Hip Hop in Russia?
