Chuck D is showing his age. Which is a shame, because he used to have a much more nuanced view of things. I remember writing about how Greg Tate has changed his opinion as he got older. Read it here: http://www.hiphop-blogs.com/hiphop... The reality is hip-hop artists have MORE power than they've ever had. Labels are scrambling to stay relevant. Tyga is nominated for a Grammy off of a song that came from his mixtape. Drake started that trend last year. No corporation created Soulja Boy or Nicki Minaj. They both had a by-myself-meeting and came up with their image. Then they made themselves hot and choose what label they wanted. I'm particularly upset with what Chuck has to say about hip-hop blogs. The most popular ones DO NOT cover gossip and the latest rap crimes. Check out anyone in the New Music Cartel. 99% of their posts are strictly about music and artists interviews. Shout out to Eskay of Nahright.com and LowKey of YouheardThatNew.com. These guys are...

A ninety year old in my church told me that his grandfather was a slave. When he would complain his grand dad would say "that's nothing! I was a slave!"

Lil Wayne also sez: "Gangstas and pimps, Love lobsters and shrimps, Kool-Aid and chicken, Flashy things and women. " - These are a few of his favourite things.

Not gonna lie, the man says some awesome stuff. I hadn't realized 50 was that important as a rapper...HAH. I avoid radio/videos though, so what do I know...

So many nuggets of knowledge built into Tha Carter III, Leo. This is one of many, my friend.

That's a misquote. It's really: "Safe sex is great sex, better wear a latex / 'cause you don't want that late text, that "I think I'm late" text"

One for true techies: "I got game like EA, but I wanna let you play."

@brian norwood - Leo got the line wrong...Hashim corrected him. It makes plenty of sense and it's promoting safe sex. Not sure why that's worth ignoring?
- Angel Smith
Yeah, I mean. Sometimes I do feel like kicking Wayne in the chest...watch him fall into a bottomless pit...but that's just me :)

It's just depressing how much money he'll make from this...

it does make sense "Safe sex is great sex, better wear a latex, cause you don't want that late text, that 'I think I'm late' text." its not laid its late
- Yocelin Martinez
Since so many guys could care less about whether or not they knock some girl up, I'd go with "Safe sex is great sex; better wear a latex; cuz you don't want to kill and infect someone and ruin either their lives or their entire family's you inconsiderate jerkwad."
