Around The Net

by JOKESTA

THURSDAY JULY 10, 2008

Haven't been around much this week--told ya'll I was on my lazy shit. Anyways, I'm back to quench your blogging thirst with some quick bits from around the net. Nothing mind blowing but mildly entertaining. Oh and shout out to Charles Hamilton for confirming that he in fact is not mentally retarded. He emailed us and let us know he's just pretending or something like that..so more power to you sir, more power to you.

Anyways, some of our "Around The Net" items today come from...US!  I was complaining about the art of story telling dying in hip hop and completely missed out on Royce Da 5'9's latest track "Taxi Driver"...hell I'm sure I'm not the only one that missed out on it since it only received about 30 comments. Folks, this track is a masterpiece--at a first listen, it doesn't immediately grab you because of the beat, but give it a chance and listen to the lyrics. Amazing concept, amazingly executed. Check it out.

 

 

Next up, we have Joe Budden's latest series of releases entitled "Who" parts 1 and 2. Judging by the way the second ended, we can expect a part 3 soon. 

 

 

 

 

Listen to the tracks, don't just skim through em. If only Budden would stop trying to make another club hit and just keep the mood music coming. 

Moving on, for videogame fans, a teaser trailer for Max Payne was released today and it looks like its going to be great. Luda co-stars alongside Mark Wahlberg as Jim Bravura, Max's boss and former deputy chief of police. You can check out the  kick ass trailer here. 

 Finally, Busta Rhymes is looking to collabo with Amy Winehouse on a track, so we might see Amy on yet another hip hop/soul collabo this year. 

"Her music is incredible. I am definitely a fan" said Busta in a recent interview.

"There are a lot of artists I'd like to work with, but I don't want to work with them because of their names, I want to work with them because I know what we'd do together would be something special." 

Hopefully Amy can pull herself together--as well as her pants. (Don't click if you just ate...seriously..you've been warned.)

GOT A FOOT ON THE GASS
I GOT MY EYE ON THE ROAD
WITH AN OPEN MIND AS I ROLL
HOPIN TO SPY ON MY SOUL
I LOSE CONTROL
PULL UP TO A LIQUOR STORE AND GET BLOWED
ROLLING DOWN SKID ROAD FEELIN KINDA MISERABLE
I BEEN THE SAME SINCE MY ENIMIES CAME
WE PLAYED THE GAME
U GET A FILE THE PANELTYS PAIN
WELL THOUGH I GOT A PEN FULL OF POISON
THE VENOMOUS VAIN
THE LIGHT CHANGES I TAKE A RIGHT ON MEMORY LANE AND SEE
A COUPLE NIGGAS ON THE CONER CHILLEN LOOKIN MORE AND MORE FAMILIAR
CLOSER TO THEN I GET
I PULL UP HIT THE LOCKS
THEY OPEN THE DOOR AND HOP IN AND SAY THEY NAMES IS HIP AND HOP
SO I GRIN
PRETEND I DONT NO EM FOR SHIT
I ASK EY HOMIE Y THEY CALL U HIP
HE SAYS
IM HYPNOTIC
HYPOCRITICAL
I COULD SAY DEAR MAMA
AND WONDER Y THEY CALLED U BITCH
I SEEN DRAMA
I STEPPED TO THE ODDS
LOOKIN THE DEATH IN THE EYES
THEY PROBABLY MURDER ME
CHECK MY DISGUISE
YOU SEE ITS MONEY OVER BITCHES
BITCHES BRING LIES
AND MONEY BRING TROUBLE
AND TROUBLE WANNA FOLLOW ME
DROP ME ON THE CORNER OF FLAMINGO AND COVOLT
AND REMEMBER ALL EYES ON ME/YOU
THEN I COME TO A STOP
HE EXITS THE CAR
SO I LEAVE AND I HEAR SHOTS
IM THE TAXI DRIVER

Amy Winehouse can go fuck off somewhere. She wanted to boycott Hip-hop at Glastonbury. I dont know if anybody peeped it but Jay-z got dissed by some lame from a lame rock band about it. So Jiggaman opened his performance with one of the bands songs. That was so fuckin ill. Jay is a true nigga man for real. He totally put hip-hop music in their faces at that event and they loved it.

Yea them rock and roll muthafuckas tried to do Jay dirty, but he still brought the house down.

Amy Whinehouse is a walking disaster. And, I don't why I clicked that Amy Whinehouse link (maybe b/c it was bright red?) but I regret doing it, her coochie clips made me lose my dinner. Real talk, I slightly threw up in my mouth.

What's up with Hollywood lately? Only good movies seem to be from comic books or videogames. I got a script I'm workin on. It's a love story about a kid named Plies GOAT who tries to seduce his favorite rapper Plies, but tragically Plies doesn't like fags so he shoots the gay Plies GOAT kid in the head and the credits roll. The shit's gonna win me an oscar.

\on the real..amy winehouse is incredibly fuckin talented..no lyin about that..but she needs to clean up real quick..its fucked up how she has no regard for her life..because honestly she WILL die soon..so i hope she fixes that up real soon..

and shaves that fuckin bush of hers!!!

as for the tracks, they are definately fire..budden and royce are way underrated/un-heard of/slept on/yet to release a commercially recognized album which is ALSO fucked up

and marky mark is fuckin SICK as an actor..movie looks nice..luda has-in my opinion-always been a pretty good fuckin actor.

ARE YAHLL SERIOUS!!!!!!! did yahll listen to what buddens was saying, now he was speaking his opinion, and whats going on in his eyes, but a good majority of what he said was on point and authentic. He saying how hiphop is ran and fucked by entertainment industry bullshit, yahll got to understand the concept of his music. He going in and yahll not giviing that man his respect, but will give all these fake thugs, fake hustles, fake bloods, no rapping niggas all this praise, sad to say, hiphop need to stop worrying bout whose chain is bigger, and whos fucking who, and who sells the most albums and just fucking rap and stay true to what you rap, everybody now a days is a gimmick, o yea, i like royce da 5 9 concept even though i didnt think he killed it, but i get where he was going with that one.

woah woah woah. Now I'm in total agreement, people shouldn't have been so hostile to the fact Hip-Hop was gonna be at Glastonbury...but don't ever call Oasis a lame band...& trust me, you wouldn't say it to Noel or Liam Gallagher...cuz they would kick your fuckin' head in.
