WHY THE HELL IS EMINEM NOT ON THE MTV TOP MC LIST????


This seems to be the number 1 question of the month, if not year, but yeah, WHY THE HELL IS EMINEM NOT ON THE TOP 10 MC LIST?! It's really ridiculous, but to break the list down you have: 10. Raekwon 9. 50 Cent 8. Fabolous 7. Young Jeezy 6. Gucci Mane 5. Rick Ross 4. Kanye West 3. Drake 2. Lil Wayne 1. Jay-Z. For starters, why the hell is Gucci Mane above Raekwon, Young Jeezy and Fabolous? Dude is lyrically weak, no disrespect to Gucci but lyrically you can't mess with The Chef. And what recent HOT stuff has 50 put out? I think his last single was OK, You're Right and that wasn't building radio buzz. It's no surprise that Kanye, Drake, Weezy and Jigga are in the top 5 but Rick Ross? Come on...Relapse outsold Deeper Than Rap by a HUGE margin, about double if I'm correct. Jigga and Weezy themselves have been wondering why MTV didn't put him in the top 10 and MTV can't even come up with a valid explanation. Even Jermaine Dupree is question MTV's credibility nowadays and this man had beef with Eminem a few years ago. The question still stands, why is he NOT in the top 10?

Happy Birthday to U-God!!!

Happy birthday to U-God of the Wu-Tang Clan. The Clansmen turns 39 today having been born in 1970. His latest album "Dopium" was released earlier this year and I haven't checked it out but now that I've been reminded of it, I'll check it out. Support the music and buy the album, DON'T DOWNLOAD >:(...it kills the movement. Once again, happy birthday to U-God!!!!

Slaughterhouse to sign with Shady Records?


Is it true? Is Slaughterhouse really going to sign with Shady Records? If so, that would be a MAJOR career boost for them as a whole. As you may or may not know, Slaughterhouse is a group that consists of Joe Budden (who is known mostly for his hot single "Pump It Up" 2003), Royce Da 5"9' (a former associate of Eminem's but a rivalry between him and D12 drove them apart), Crooked I (a Long Beach rapper who has been around the block with Snoop Dogg, the Luniz and The Eastsidaz) and last but not least Joell Ortiz (a Brooklyn-born rapper who had a song on the successful GTA IV). Joe Budden has said " I'm hopeful that it will happen. I would like for it to happen, uhm, but is it a definite? Is it confirmed? Is it 100 percent in stone? No, not at all." I'm certainly hoping they do sign with Shady, it would be nice to see a Bad Meets Evil Pt. 2.

Drake discusses his Debut Album "Thank Me Later"

I'm sure you're all are wondering when Drake is gonna drop his first official album, well we don't have that information yet but we do have some info from Drake himself. "At the end of the day, one of the biggest things I've been toying with on Thank Me Later is that it's kind of hard for me to come out and be like, 'I'm still the underdog,'" Drake said in an interview. "I can't rap about the same things [as I did] on So Far Gone,so it's just really trying to tell the greatest story that's never been told, which is the story of a rapper's come-up, and tell it without being corny or over bragging or sounding like, 'Feel sorry for me'," Drake told MTV. So i guess it's fair to say he won't be rapping about girls and stuff like that. Hopefully we'll hear a Drake who isn't writing love songs 24/7.

Pharell has began his tattoo removal process

Pharrell has finally begun to remove his tattoos by getting laser tattoo removal. He has stated that he HATES his tattoos. He was originally going to go with that new thing that used skin grafts but he decided not to. Laser tattoo removal is very painful from what a lot of people and say and from what i was told it kills. Good luck to Pharrell on getting his tattoos removed.

Ghostface Killah drops new album


Ghostface Killah of the Wu-Tang clan just recently dropped his latest album "Ghostdini: The Wizard of Poetry" yesterday. The album features little, if not none at all, input from his fellow clan members. The features on the album consist mostly of R&B artists such as Lloyd and John Legend. I myself may pick up the album, you should too!
