Leaving This Blog

Due to technical difficulties and the fact that it is actually very hard and uninteresting to write about hip hop I will be changing my blog topic to the National Basketball Association (NBA). I'm sorry to all of my followers I know that you will all be very disappointed once you read this but my heart is just not in it anymore. Maybe as a reward of being such good followers I will send you all a gift basket (probably not). Make sure that you follow my new blog as I will put the link below. I will write all about the National Basketball Association from the preseason which is taking place now to big match ups and power rankings. I'll also talk about the stars in the league and their good and or bad performances. The hip hop blog was too difficult to maintain and keep up with. It was very bothersome to keep updated. There also was a scandal revolving one of my blogs that I may or may not have been falsely accused. We will not go into the specific details though. It was very hard to find information and summarize it in your own unique way making the word quota sometimes very difficult. Along with this I have also been missing my left nike elite sock in navy blue. I have not been able to locate it anywhere and if anyone has any information on its where about that would be greatly appreciated. I always loose one sock I swear it is very annoying. But back to the main topic again I do apologize once more I know you all were very eager to read up on my views and discussions on the This Week In Hip Hop one of the best blogs of all time. Signing off for the last time Edward H.

Drake's New Album Hot or Not?

Last week September 17th Drakes new album Nothing Was he Same hit stores. The artist had songs showing his raping abilities and also his singing abilities. Radio hit Hold on Were Going Home appeared on the album which shows Drakes vocals and singing ability. The album t thought was very mediocre at best. I did not care for the amount of singing that Drake did on the album. I thought that he should have had more songs featured with other heavy hitting rap artists. Although the album will still most likely do very well due to Drake's enormous popularity among his fans. Making the news again was artist Kanye West. The rapper was questioned and had photos taken by paparazzi around 4 a.m. and he flipped out. The artist was mad apparently because the paparazzi were on his property while asking the questions. I feel bad for Kanye because he is severely targeted by paparazzi and TMZ. He appears in the tabloids almost every day. They just need to leave Kanye alone. LEAVE KANYE ALONE. Kanye also responded to Jimmy Kimmel's skit where he poked fun at the rappers comments on an interview. Kanye did not take to kindly to this responding with great anger. Kimmell said that he didn’t mean anything by the skit and that him and Kanye were friends. Apparently Kanye did not think to highly of what he did. All the drama is actually very funny to read about and watch. If you follow Kanye on twitter he usually posts things that will give you a good laugh. Also if you have not watched the Jimmy Kimmell skit I highly advise it. Well I’m about done have a great day thanks for reading.

Rick Ross Continues to Represent Reebok

Although rapper Rick Ross was fired from Reebok for talking about rape in a song, he still supports Reebok. In an interview with the Associated Press, he talks about how he still wears Reebok shoes and how Jay-Z influences him. Back in April, TMZ reported that Rick Ross would lose between $3.5 million to $5 million from Reebok. He would get a paycheck every time he wore Reebok shoes.
In the song U.O.E.N.O., which he recorded with Rocko, there were some lyrics that didn’t sit well with women’s groups: “Put Molly all in the champagne. She ain’t even know it. I took her home and I enjoy that. She ain’t even know it.” Rick Ross was under much scrutiny for this verse. CNN broke the story about a protest against Reebok for not firing Rick Ross. Consequently Reebok responded and fired the rapper. Even though Rick Ross lost his deal with Reebok, the Miami rapper admitted in an interview with the Associated Press that he continues to wear and support Reebok. After making his rounds around the United States, J. Cole will take his gentle soft born sinner bars overseas to kick of the European part of his What Dreams May Come Tour. The Roc Nation representer will kick off this set of shows in Copenhagan on November 10th, before wrapping up in Dublin a little over a month later. Personally I am not a fan of artist J.Cole but in many reviews is said that he puts on an amazing show. 

Self Made 3 Hits Stores this Week

"Self Made Vol. 3" is the third compilation album by Rick Ross's Maybach Music Group. The album features verses from Rick Ross, Meek Mill, Wale, Stalley, J. Cole, Pusha T and others as well as production from Boi-1da, Cardo, Hit-Boy, Jake One and others. It was released on September 17, 2013.
I disliked the almbumn because it's quite underwhelming in my opinion. I'm only feeling about half of the songs on here, with the other half ranging from just okay to terrible. The beats are hit-or-miss throughout, with only a handful of instrumentals straying away from the generic "trap music" formula so that is so abundant in rap today. Lyrically the album fares about the same, with only a couple of really good verses scattered amidst a sea of mediocrity. I know most people don't listen to MMG for their lyrical prowess, but even the beats are not that great on here. It's a shame too since i actually liked quite a bit of "Self Made Vol 1" and its sequel. Go try it out for yourself though the album can be purchased on Itunes and Amazon.Miley Cyrus continues to leave little to imagination for her album cover art. It comes as no surprise that the 20-year-old starlet has opted to strip down for one of the five album covers for her upcoming record, "Bangerz," as she had no problem baring all in the video for her chart-topping track "Wrecking Ball.".
However, this may just be a preview of what is to come, there are still three more versions that have not yet been released for the "Bangerz" covers. The former Disney darling is asking for some feedback from her fans, they can visit Cyrus's website starting at 3 p.m. ET Thursday to vote for their favorite image.

Drake Facing Lawsuit For Owl Chains

Well were back for our second blog of the year and I'm going to start about one of the largest figures in the Hip Hop industry rapper singer and song writer Drake. He is facing a lawsuit for allegedly replicating owl chains.Drake's OVO label is known for its owl logo, something which he decided to make a chain out of, hiring Baden Baden Inc. to create it. Drake allegedly hired them to create a custom diamond-studded platinum owl pendant back in January, and paid over $49,000 for it.n June Baden Baden Inc. noticed copies of their chain design popping up on Drake's Instagram. They claim that Drake took their original design and copied it, creating replicas for his friends.They are suing for copyright infringement and are asking the hip hop star to hand over the replicas to the company. Another star that has poped up in the spot light and not for a good reason is artist Kanye West. While at a listening party for his friend Pusha T in Brooklyn last night, Kanye grabbed the mic and started ranting away; admitting he'd been intoxicated on Grey Goose and have had been drinking heavily that night. During the booze rant, Kanye also spent some time reminding everyone how great he is.Kayne also told the people attending the party multiple times that he doesn't care what anyone thinks of him just that he will do what he wants when he wants. This is not Kayne's first outbreak and i highly doubt it will be his last. Yesterday on September 12th, Maybach Music Group (MMG) wich includes some of the best rappers and artists in the rap buisness such as Rick Ross, Wale and Meek Mill put out a live stream for their album Self Made 3. The album comes out in stores on September 17 and surley has rap enthusiasts waiting eagerly for that date.

                        Controversy fills Hip Hop World from Twitter Drama                                                

This week the hip hop world was filled with excitement and controversy. On September 12th rapper and artist Cheef Keef had an arrest warrant issued to him after he skipped a hearing regarding his outrageous debt to his child's mother. Keef, 18, owes his child's mother over $20,000 in back pay and was scheduled for court Sept. 3. Since he didn't show, the young rapper could be detained until he pays at least a fifth of the bill. Keef has been hounded by other bills and law suits the past months including a 10,000 dollar lawsuit taken out on his by his landlord for unpaid rent. Also this week on Wednesday, September 11th rapper Gucci Mane deleted his twitter after a very explicit online fight the rapper had with other artists Niki Minaj, Iggy Azalea, and rapper Tyga. Some believe his tweets were just a publicity stunt to boost album sales or get his career going again after he was dropped from Atlantic Records. Whatever the reason behind the rant was, Gucci seems to regret it because he deleted his Twitter account on Sept. 11.Finally this week artist and rapper 2 Chainz released his second major label release, B.O.A.T.S. 2: Me Time. The album featured many heavy hitters in hip hop including the likes of Lil Wayne, Drake, Fergie, Pusha T, and Mike WiLL Made It. Among the track list is summer hit single Fed’s Watching produced/assisted by reigning king of the summer Pharrell who is also the albums executive producer. Another track fans are excited about is “I Do It” which features two of the largest artists in the industry Lil Wayne and Drake. B.O.A.T.S. 2 exactly what fans of 2 Chainz expect and want: a mindless, larger-than-life, quotable hip-hop album that will rattle car stereos in appropriate fashion. From album releases to drama on twitter you can say it was an exciting week in the hip hop industry.
