Wu-Tang member U-God is suing the Clan’s label, Wu Music, alleging that they owe him $170,000.
According to TMZ, U-God (born Lamont Hawkins) filed the suit against his label – which is licensed by Universal Music – earlier this month. The rapper claims he wasn’t paid for a variety of work since March 2007, including a tour, albums, and a European record contract. U-god is featured on Wu’s last record, which was just released last month and is currently touring with the group.
I know this came out last year but I didn’t want to take for granted that everyone had seen this. It is a satirical parody (?) of today’s mainstream rap music. What are your thoughts?
(Intellectuals only please)
Couture Angel told me about this a few days ago. After watching it and laughing for a whole min, I figured I would just post it.
As an Emcee a lot of times at radio stations, Dj’s will throw out words/phrases and ask you to incorporate those words into your freestyle. Cats like Supernatural and Rhymefest are a beast at this game. In my day of freestyling I wasn’t so bad myself. I’ve never heard of this technique being used in Church though LOL! Check it out, the clip is of Common Sense (Yeah I still say the Sense part) in church on New Years Eve Freestying for the congregation in Chicago.
After watching this video I can definitely see Com incorporating a church circuit into his next tour.
The Hawks win victorious after beating the Chicago Bulls today at Home. Now let me tell you why thats a big deal!
The Atlanta Hawks have not beaten the Bulls since a 116-101 victory on April 9, 2004, THEY’VE BEEN LOSING TO THE BULLS FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS, THATS A LONG ASS TIME!!!
Joe Johnson scored 37 points, including 25 in the first half, and the Hawks beat the Bulls 105-84! But Im still noticing a lot of those seats at the home games are super empty. Even though the Hawks have been on roll lately the city is still not really supporting them. This is another case of people in ATL waiting until the Hawks hit playoffs before actually caring. Now… Im not saying these guys are a Championship Team this year, but there definitely a good team to keep an eye on.
The Hawks play Mello / A.I. and the Denver Nuggets this Tuesday night. I’ll be in the place to be, so I’ll have to let you guys know how it goes.

Peneers.
Understand these shoe are being hyped crazy. I got the list of stores from a credible source. Indeed some stores are getting more then what they should be but that iz politics. Why is NY getting so damn many! The south got no love what so ever and Carolina? Damn J spray the shoe blue and NC see nada nathan? Uggggh…….
Why couldn’t Niketown Atlanta get the nod? They are a decent spot for anything Jordan. Maybe the location at Phipps Plaza might scare some folks off but they do there numbers. I KNOW! Speaking with the don for the South market he even said they scratched Walters off the list and just a few days ago they green lighted the spot. In other words after reading this post go ahead and set up shop if you want them. Sources also say these shoes are already sold to every south rapper in the area! You don’t have to listen to me though. Just sharing a bit of info with ya. Prior to hearing that I was gonna be that brother outside the store directly after the Carolina/Tech game Wednesday night. Oh well time to hype up the Countdown Pack…..
Good morning. Are you a giver???? Do you have money or does money have you? Can you live without that morning cup of coffee, cigarette etc ?

First things first, I haven’t really got into the whole toy collection thing. Shout out to Nito and Mike Moore who I know get their Kid Robot on and all that. The first joint I saw that I wanted, was that De La Soul piece with them in the space suits from a few years back. I actually found it in San Fran but it was WAY outta my price range at the time. And then there was the Biz Markie alarm clock that Ecko released sometime ago that was pretty fresh as well. And… Kid Robot just released the MF DOOM Doll sometime last year.
Now it looks like Tony Starks is joining the list by releasing this new doll on the market. Yep you read that right “The Ghostface Killah Doll.”Now when I spoke to Ghost back in Nov I asked him would this joint be like an action figure? And he said No its just a doll.
But… after checking this thing out, it definitely is a lil more than just a “doll.”For starters the Gold that you see on the joint is suppose to real, the Robe comes off, the Fitted Hat can be twisted to point in any direction… and the funniest thing is.. It Actually Speaks!!!
Ghost actually did the vocals for the piece and it recites classic Ghostface lines from old songs such as
“Remember when i longed dicked you and broke your ovary” and “Yo bitch i fucked your friend, ya you stank ho.
“WOW!!!! But seeing as how Ghostface didnt send me one of these joints for Christmas, chances are the kid wont have this in the collection as the going price is $300
Check the official commerical out right here.
If yall dont know what went down with MF DOOM at MJQ not too long ago, CATCH UP!

The blog got a quick mention in the article. Shout out to Ben Westhoff
Okay so two lyrical juggernauts from my hometown are going at it on the presidential election stage. It started with Lupe giving an interview to SOHH.com Some of the erroneous statements made including the reason why he would support Hilary over Obama (if he voted) prompted Rhymefest to go in via Myspace. The conversation then carried over to the OKP message boards but here is a repost from Fest (For the record I am from the southside wild hundreds read my bio and so I need not say who I side with on this one)
