“I ain’t gotta have the ring, I ain’t gotta have the belt, I ain’t gotta have the crown, [CAUSE] I STILL LAY IT DOWN… “, MJG – “30 Rocks”.

Pimp Tight!!!! Aka Marlon Jermaine Goodwin aka MJG and that man they affectionately call Fat Boy aka Premro Smith aka Eightball are back in our music sphere again backed up by the ubiquitous P-Diddy. The Living Legends that brought you COMING OUT HARD on Suave House Records THIRTEEN YEARS AGO come back harder than ever with their TENTH album and Second Bad Boy Entertainment label offering entitled RIDIN HIGH.

“These are days of our lives [and] I’m sorry to my fans, but them crackers weren’t playing fair at Jive“ – Pusha T, “Mr. Me Too“.

How does one commit rap career suicide? The answer is the same as it’s been for the last 25 years. To kill your rap career simply wait more than 2 years to come out with your next album. RAP IS THE MOST DYNAMIC GENRE ON EARTH. What style is hot today is old stale cheese the next. Rap is fueled by the energy of the youth. That means that energy is constantly in motion and constantly changing sporadically.

“I keep it gangsta and they LOVE, that s$$$…If you’re a gangsta you gonna love this s$$$….Ha HAAAA!!!…“ – Young Jeezy, “Keep it Gangsta”.

HAAAAAYYYYY!!!!! Jeezy aka The King of Ad-Libs is back!! Gotta be honest with ya folks. I thought Jeezy depended on them clever little hooks a bit too much to the point where I didn’t think he’d have enough substance to actually make a decent sophomore album. Even when his decent first single off his current 2nd album called THE INSPIRATION dropped I just wasn’t that motivated to rush to the store. So I admit I took my time before even copping the album despite the positive reactions from the streets. I mean when you think about it what exactly does Jeezy represent? He’s not exactly a lyrical terror and also isn’t like a Ludacris whose persona is non-threatening enough to crossover into all cultures. I mean Jeezy doesn’t exactly invite happy fun thoughts when you think of him.

“It’s the end cause the game’s tired, It’s the same vibe as Good Times had right after James died, that’s why the gangsta rhymers ain’t inspired, heinous crimes help record sales more than creative rhymes, and I don’t want to keep bringing up the greater times but I’m a dreamer, Nostalgic with the state of mind..” – Nas, “Can’t Forget About You”.

Nas, Nas, Nas. What am I going to do with you huh? Sometimes I love ya and sometimes I hate ya. See one minute you’re in love, next minute you’re sending threats to haters about putting them in caskets. One minute you’re uplifting Africa and next you’re promoting misogynistic ideals. Even worse though, Jay-Z bones your baby’s mama and then you go fall in love again with Kelis and get a tattoo of her on your arm? Huh? Yuck!! Makes Benz0 want to vomit. But still at the end of the day Nas has and always will have the potential to always drop album the year cause he’s still crazy poetic.
