“Why doesn’t Ricky Smiley or whoever just talk to this girl,” she questioned. “I know why. It's because everyone wants the option of blaming it on Danny, because people can’t accept the fact that a white girl raped a black dude in front of a bunch of people.”

Eric P had a bit of an e-altercation with Danny Brown
http://www.imposemagazine.com/bytes/...lled-me-creepy

Gist of the story: Kitty Pryde was getting booed and disrespected by the crowd at a recent Danny show, which naturally is to be expected (considering she sucks). But the abuse went further than simply heckling, and morphed into sexual provocation and abuse. I think there's a line between booing a bad set and verbally attacking someone with sexual shit.

Quote

There are those on Twitter and on blogs who state that Danny Brown should have said something or stopped it and affirmed his support for Kitty. I think this stance is misguided. I believe assholes shouldn't yell unwanted sexual shit at women, period.

While I agree with this I still think Danny could have done something, given that she stood up for him last week during the media brouhaha over Blowjob-Gate.

Eric P · « **Reply #1147 on:** May 09, 2013, 09:21:43 AM »

I don't think it was really an altercation per se. I was just venting because a lot of what people were saying seemed to really miss the point of why people were upset. it wasn't that someone was booed it was that a female performer was aggressively heckled with explicit sexual chanting in a way that a male performer would not be.

When I was in Alabama I recorded a bunch of rappers and I met and hung out w/ Yelawolf and Rittz and both of em are tearing it up.

Especially Rittz, his new album "The Life and Time of Johnny Valient" is fucking dope as hell. Anyone scope it out yet?

Rittz "For Real"
the beat is heavy as hell, lyrically decent. He has other songs on this album that the lyrically rips.

Eric P · « **Reply #1149 on:** May 09, 2013, 09:51:07 AM »

I've liked what i've heard from Rittz but I haven't picked up the album

I just can't get into Yelawolf for the life of me.

Yeah, he's not as stellar as he once was. Rittz has been tearing it up though. It's a trip seeing cats you kicked it with get big.

Havoc still produces some dope shit. Too bad Prodigy can't rap anymore or else I'd be excited about a new Mobb Deep album.

Quote

"Eazy said, 'You know this guy Suge Knight?' I said, 'Yeah.' He says, 'Well, I'm gonna kill him!' He said, 'This guy is gonna be a problem and I think I should kill him.' I said, 'Let me think this thing through. First of all, we're doing $10 million a month with six employees. We don't even have a typewriter in the office. We're the most successful start-up record company in the history of the music business and you want to kill this guy? That just doesn't make any sense to me.'"

Heller then explained that he regrets talking Eazy out of it.

"You know something? I should have let him kill him. You know? I would have done the world a favor. He would have done it for sure by himself. He always rolled by himself and he was fearless...I think that he was going to go do it. I took him seriously."

"He was right and I was wrong," he later added. "I shouldn't have talked him out of it. Ruthless would probably still be around. Dr. Dre and Ice Cube would probably still be with Ruthless. It would have been an empire."

New Slaves sounds interesting, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's unfinished. The other song sounds like Beautiful People lol

I wonder who's ghostwriting all this militant shit for Kanye

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #1161 on:** May 19, 2013, 06:29:08 PM »

It's a little different from the typical "fuck white people" militant stuff. Kanye seems legit butthurt over the "white power structure" that runs music, entertainment, etc. To him, losing to Taylor Swift was a sign that white people run shit and he's just a black man - whereas everyone else looked at that and thought "who fucking cares."

Basically he likes white people but he doesn't like The Man, who is stealing Grammys and MTV Video awards from him

GAFHOP

I know but I didn't see you talking about it in the thread. link.

As for his new music, I like the energy but the production is a total step down from MBDTF so far.

on the one hand Kool Keith as Dr Octogon working with Del as Deltron sounds like a good idea, but without the Dan The Automator magic it's just a bit of a mess

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #1170 on:** May 26, 2013, 09:53:28 PM »

Quite a different production sound from the first album, but the haunting sound fits the (always great) lyrics.

Eric P · « **Reply #1171 on:** May 30, 2013, 10:55:53 AM »

Old Money's album came out two days ago but I haven't had a chance to dig into it until today

http://duttyartz.bandcamp.com/album/fire-in-the-dark

I'm not going to say it sounds like nothing else out there, because there are some rappers moving in these circles (Tecla, Kool and Kass) using super strong Afro-Carib beats to talk about being poor but it's still very very niche and very very good

Eric P · « **Reply #1172 on:** May 30, 2013, 11:00:17 AM »

also Johnny Voltik released something on the same day but i haven't done anything other than download it

this is highly anticipated by me

finally listened to this and i really liked it

the rapping is ehhhhh but the overall mood and production is very very good

new eXquire is dope as fuck. i hope the album is good because he's changed lanes like 4 times since he's been signed

His voice guarantees he has the mic presence to rock the place, and obviously he has hits (as do the Lox) but...dunno breh. Granted I've never seen him live, but I'm imaging 40 dudes on stage yelling shit.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #1178 on:** June 08, 2013, 12:52:46 AM »

Really interesting comments from J Cole on the radio single game, how labels micro target audiences for them, and how the story ties into why he named a song on his new album "Let Nas Down." Arguably one of the worst song titles I've heard in awhile, but the song is pretty good (to me)

new action bronson came out yesterday and it's pretty good. i'm amused by 2 Virgins which "features" Big Body Bes whose verse sounds like a ton of adlibs that have been saved up

Big Body Bes is one of the greatest shit talkers of our time. Didn't know he was Bronson's cousin. I love that he continues to put him on the intro/first track of all his projects.
