Groove St. Party (review)

"I’m sure I’ve written about this before but I’ll say it again anyway. The big difference between No Ceilings Wayne and Sqad/Drought/Dedication Wayne and No Ceilings Wayne lied in his selection and his construction. NC was just straight up rappy raps over the hits of the day, he ran down the Billboard rap/R&B charts and then rapped about whatever over those tracks and echoing their hooks syllable for syllable, subbing in some cutesy joke about being high or being a blood. But in the S/D/D era he was choosing more obscure tracks (Little Brother! Youngbloodz!) with some degree of taste and using their instrumentals as canvases for entirely different songs with new choruses and concepts. The best example of this in the Wayne catalog, and maybe in all of rap ever, was “Sky Is The Limit” where he jacked a flop ass Mike Jones record and turned it into a legitimate 15-million Youtube views hit.

In the past Lil B has shown a similar knack for putting a personal touch on instrumentals. This approach defined the Based Freestyle era and the even more recent Bitch Mob (which featured such an obscure and tastefully selection of other people’s beats that most listeners probably didn’t even realize that they were other people’s beats). But eventually he realized what Wayne should - there are so many incredible producers as there are right now literally giving away beats for free there’s no excuse for just grabbing hit instrumentals and rapping over them.

And yet that’s exactly what Wayne and B do with their long awaited (three weeks Twitter time) collab. Two of my favorite rappers of doing karaoke over a Waka Flocka hit. It’s not bad, it’s just rapping from rappers who are capable of so much more than just rapping. Wayne continues his boring ass emotionless phase, delivering one dimensional punchlines (I’m higher than a bitch feel like I climbed a fucking mountain; swagger on steriods… Canseco, Jose) and then audibly cheesing like he just said something incredibly clever. I can’t be the only person who is starting to hate this guy." Read More and listen

I'm Gay?

DUH. (._.)

"Rapper Lil B is coming out as a straight, gay man, and it's costing him many of his hard-earned fans. Not that it bothers him.

The rising hip-hop MC and former member of The Pack announced earlier in April that he planned to name his upcoming album "I'm Gay," despite not being a homosexual. For him, it's a re-appropriation of the word, as well as a statement in support of the gay community.

'I'm very gay, but I love women. I'm not attracted to men in any way. I've never been attracted to a man in my life. But yes I am gay, I'm so happy. I'm a gay, heterosexual male,' he told MTV. 'I got major love for the gay and lesbian community, and I just want to push less separation and that's why I'm doing it.'

Even so, the album title has spawned a nasty backlash against him, as he said he's 'many of my supporters have turned on me,' and he gets messages from some saying 'I'm gonna bash your head in," "you fa**ot," and 'I'm gonna kill you.'

The Berkeley-based rapper said that he's trying to break barriers in the hip-hop world; former MTV producer and hip-hop expert Terrence Dean recently wrote a book, titled "Hiding In Hip Hop: On The Down Low in the Entertainment Industry From Music to Hollywood," about being a gay member of the rap community and the hurdles that those involved still need to overcome in a column for HelloBeautiful.com."

WHO IS LIL B MIGHT U ASK? u dont wanna know...but here u go:


told u :(



"Hip Hop is a culture and environment which does not provide a safe place for an artist to come forward or to come out," he wrote. "If you listen to many rap lyrics they promote hate and gay-bashing. It is an environment where the thug and gangster mentality is prevalent. Artists boast of a hyper-masculine bravado, with their crotch-grabbing, degradation of women, and their braggadocios lyrical slaying about the number of women they've slept with and children they’ve produced."
