rants&shit.

apparently diddy (or whatever he calls himself these days. who does he think he is, prince?) is going to have a new vh1 series (see ya mtv?). the point of the series is to discover a personal assistant for him.

i can respect a man (especially a rapper) with cash money, but honestly, who would want to be an assistant to fuckin' puff-daddy-sean-john-combs-diddy? i don't need some talent-crashing dick-lip telling me i'm too fat and lazy everyday. that's what my mom is for (except i love my mom). where does diddy get off telling people what to do? he hasn't done anything great since he signed b.i.g. (which was over 15 years ago)

i've only come to one conclusion: diddy, you are NOT hip hop.

how can you call somebody hip hop when they picked this guy (the eminem look-a-like douchebag to the right) to be the next big solo artist? (i will bite my lip if it happens)

how can you call somebody hip hop when they got DENIED by j-lo?

how can you call somebody hip hop who files lawsuits over their facial acne? so not fresh.

[not to regress, but speaking of prince....]
to the untrained eye, this might not be hip hop, but it is pretty awesome... therefore it is hip hop.

a tribute album to prince is in the works, and by the looks of the track listing and featured artists, shit is gonna be real:

1. D'Angelo: "She's Always in My Hair"

2. Stina Nordenstam: "Purple Rain"

3. Blue States: "Alphabet Street"

4. Susanna and the Magical Orchestra: "Condition of the Heart"

5. Osunlade: "Crazy You"

6. Hefner: "Controversy"

7. The Dynamics: "Girls & Boys"

8. Broadway Project [feat. Jeb Loy Nichols]: "The Ballad of Dorothy Parker"

9. 7 Hurtz with Peaches: "Sexy Dancer"

10. Soulwax: "Starfish & Coffee"

11. Rob Mello: "Critical"

12. LB: "The Future"

13. Kode9 & the Spaceape: "Sine of the Dub"

i'm not sure why i'm still crazin on black milk, but that man is nasty. maybe i'm diggin on the fact that he's a decent midwest producing rapper that is not from chicago, but from detroit. it might be because he can produce beats in less than 15 minutes from scratch:
