Ice-T & His Son Respond Back To Soulja Boy (Round 2) & Kanye Intake On Their Beef
Ice-T makes an apology to Soulja Boy & Hurricane Chris. but then his son and Ice-T rant on how bad Soulja Boy sucks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kanye posted this following paragraph on his blog in response to the petty Ice-T vs. Soulja Boy thing going on.
Here is Kanye's full response:
Soulja boy is fresh ass hell and is actually the true meaning of what hip hop is sposed to be. He came from the hood, made his own beats, made up a new saying, new sound and a new dance with one song. He had all of America rapping this summer. If that ain't Hip Hop then what is? A bunch of wannabe keep it real rappers that ain't even relevant, recycling samples trying to act like it's 96 again and all they do is hate on new shit? Niggas always talk about the golden age but for a 13 year old kid, this is the golden age!!! That song was so dope cause everything he said had a hidden meaning... that's Nas level shit... he just put it over some steel drums which is also some Nas shit if you had the 2nd album cassette with the bonus track "Silent Murder" on it. In closing... new niggas get ya money$$$$$$$$$$ Keep this shit fresh and original.... ain't no fuckin' rules to this shit and that's what real hip hop is to me.

Rita G & Doliciia Bryant on Lip Service Radio Talking About Kanye, Bow Wow Trying to Talk to Each Of Them
If youd ont know who they are google their names. One is on the king magazine this month asnd the other was in Kanye's Flashing lights video. They both discuss how Bow Wow tried to holla at them and how tall he stands to them and how they lauaghed it off by saying "how cute and stuff". lmao
Since we talking about Bow Wow isnt it funny that he and Omarion had a tv show about a cd they were dropping called "Road to Platinum"? lol. I think it only went gold. But Hey Im not a hater, Im just stating the facts.

Kanye West, 50 Cent, T.I. React To Their Placement On 'Hottest MCs In The Game'
Kanye West waited a long time to react to being crowned the "Hottest MC in the Game" by the MTV News Hip-Hop Brain Trust earlier this month — but he made sure it counted. 'Ye shared his feelings with the crowd at the sold-out Chicago show of his Glow in the Dark Tour.
"They talk about the [Hottest] MC list," a sweat-soaked West told the audience at the United Center. "I don't know if y'all heard about this. But I brought the Grammys home for y'all. And now I brought that #1 spot home for y'all. 'Cause every time I rhyme, I rhyme for y'all. Everything I do, I do for y'all. Chi-Town in this b---h. Chi-Town on the map. Chi-Town King of rap, and Lupe got my back."
Lupe Fiasco came in at #7 on the list. Backstage at the show, Kanye shared his feelings a bit further with MTV News: "Ah man, that's dope. ... No, seriously ... That's really, really, super dope."
Some of the other MCs who made the Brain Trust's top 10 have also been responding to their rankings. T.I., who was #2 in 2007, fell to #10 in 2008 due to his time out of the game while on house arrest. The King of the South didn't see his move down as a slight.
"I didn't take it personally, you know," Tip told radio host Ed Lover last week while visiting the personality's New York radio show. "I think it had a lot to do with the fact that when they was putting the list together, I didn't have any music out. At the time when they was judging how hot people were, I was on house arrest.
"I ain't trippin'," Tip added. "They gonna have to do another list. Jeezy is the homie. Everybody else on the list is the homie. I tip my hat and salute everybody else who made the list. I was just with [Andre 3000] last night. He was like, 'I appreciate it. I appreciate still being acknowledged, you know.' "
On Sirius Satellite Radio over the weekend, 50 Cent once again voiced his displeasure with the Brain Trust. 50 was up two spots from his 2007 #8 ranking.
"I shouldn't even be on that list," 50 said. "To be honest, I shouldn't even be categorized with them [other MCs on the list]. It doesn't even matter. Look at the people who are actually creating the list. None of them have made a hit record or [borne] the pressure of doing it."
50 suggested that MTV News get some MCs to help make up the next "Hottest MCs" list. "Not necessarily the artists now," he said. "Artists who have previously created hit records, that understand the art form. You got a bunch of people who, because they interviewed rappers, they feel that they know. Because they read XXL or The Source. They don't understand."
Here was the top ten for those who didnt catch the 30 minute segment on MTV yet.
1. Kanye
2. Jay-Z
3. Weezy
4. Rick Ross
5. Snoop Dogg
6. 50 Cent
7. Lupe Fiasco
8. Young Jeezy
9. Andre 3000
10. T.I.

Kanye West - Flashing Lights Video (Official 2nd Version)
This is a real version. Kanye shot 3 videos for Flashing Lights. Here is the second one. Ok someone help me because my eyes hurt from watching this video. So many dam pictures and I still dont get the point. I understand that he wants to be different and change the game but dam can we just get the 4 minute mini movie/ video. I dont know what the fuck that was. I think Kanye says to himself what should I do for a video, then he does completely opposite and says wait I dont have to be in the video that much. Who made up the rule that a music video has to include me lip singing my own lyrics. I think Kanye does an exclusive contest between models he knows and say create a video to my flashing light song and if its weird enough and I dig the concept then I will put myself in it as an extra but you the model will be the star. I think he wants these off the wall as videos to challenge our thinking abilities so we can watch the video over and over again. Which means mucho dinero for him. Even though we are near June and this is month number 10 for his album and he is still selling it rather then be the typical rapper who after a week of his album dropping he doesnt do any new videos and just promotes is next album after a month.

The MTV 2008 Hottest MC’s
Click each name to read MTV's rationale.
1. Kanye
2. Jay-Z
3. Weezy
4. Rick Ross
5. Snoop Dogg
6. 50 Cent
7. Lupe Fiasco
8. Young Jeezy
9. Andre 3000
10. T.I.
The top three I have no problem with. I feel Kanye held down this year with the Graduation album hype and the glow in the dark tour. Then you have Jay-Z American Gangster concept album that was a classic. And at third you have Lil Wayne who hasn't dropped a cd but still made his name relevant this year with mixtapes and freestyles over everyones beats,
I'm a big Rick Ross fan and I don't have a problem with him being number 4 because Trilla was a classic album. If you don't have it already then go get it. Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent give me a few question marks because it seems as if they put there names on the list because they have experience in the game. Snoop cd flopped and he didn't have a second single that catch our attention. 50 cent have I get money and a cd that flopped.
Then you have Lupe and Jeezy who I have no problem with only if they were above Snoop and 50.
Andre 3000? It seems like every time you mention his name people give you the "he nice as shit". I'm still stuck on the he hasn't dropped a mixtape or album since his Idlewild soundtrack and his cartoon soundtrack. But was his verse from UGK International Players Anthem and Lloyd's cd that good if he is still talked about in 2008 and both singles dropped in 2006-2007ish.
Why is T.I. number 10 when you have Snoop and 50 Cent and Andre 3000 on the list. Not to discredit them but Big Shit Poppin was a bigger hit then Sensual Seduction and any verse Andre 300 put out and maybe on the same level as I get money.
Who should have made the list?
Fabolous, I mean why not he is one of the most relevant rappers out nowadays. Even though his last cd wasn't the best cd in the whole wide world, Fab continues to keep himself amongst the elite. Whenever he drops a mixtape its crazy and he caters to the hood even though he albums don't.
Soulja Boy, I mean hate on him if you want but his cd was ok and he will always be remembered as the 16 year old who made one of the biggiest songs of the year from his Sidekick 3 and had the biggiest dance of the year. I mean as far as video plays on the mainstream tv, youtube views, ringtones sold, kids doing his dance, Soulja Boy has touched alot of people this year. Not a MC but everyone knows his name no matter what neighborhood your in.
Game, I know his cd didn't drop in this time period but he has to be in a top 10 list. He has helped put the West Coast on the map once again. One Blood was roughly two summers ago but it was a car banger when it did drop. And now he has Dreams and the Pain singles doing good on the airwaves.
Ludacris dropped money maker which was a great single and you will never waste money on a Ludacris cd because he always has those 2 or 3 hits on the cd that he never made a video for.

Kanye West Stole Good Life From Someone?
While successfully defeating 50 Cent in record sales with Graduation back in September, Kanye West may be facing a more serious challenge as he is being sued for copyright infringement.
According to TMZ, the lawsuit, filed in Maryland District Court by Dayna Staggs (aka D’Mystro), claims the producer intentionally used his tune "Volume of Good Life" in order to create the second hit single, "Good Life."
Staggs, who used his music sheet and compared it to West’s within the submitted lawsuit, has said that the Roc-A-Fella artist “didn’t obtain a license to use Volume of Good Life” for his record.
He also went further in-depth as he used West’s age at the time of his original composition as reason enough for him to obtain the rights. Staggs affirmed that West was “only at the age of six or seven years” when the song was written.
In addition to his filed lawsuit, Staggs has also taken offense to the wording and concepts applied to the newer version. According to him, West’s "Good Life" contains "vulgar and offensive” images in addition to harming the reputation of his less explicit song.
As of now, Staggs is requesting 85% of all world sales of the proceeds from the music that used his work. In addition to West, he also included the entire Roc-A-Fella record label in the lawsuit.
