“Curtis-Billion Dollar-budget Jackson!!…Get mad at that man he’s the one who made us rich….we taking advantage…G-Unit, Infamous Mobb Deep, WE BACK!!” – Prodigy, “Put Em in Their Place”.

“MOBB DEEP IS DEAD!”. This is what Benz0 was hollering in Mexico City when the new Mobb Deep video came on. I hadn’t even really listened to the video or really watched it. I just saw it was them “sellouts” Mobb Deep on Los’ big screen and started raining insults on them as Brother J aka Jermaine was protesting. My core issue with Mobb Deep at that time was that almost every track they did after signing with G-Unit had a painfully irritating commercial hook to it with some crooning R&B dude singing in the background. Good for the R&B thugs and Mobb’s bank account but bad for the Hardcore thugs like Benz0 and the rest of the true Mobb fans. Even worse is they even had new flashy nicknames like Hollywood Hav (Havoc) and V.I.P. (Prodigy).

“Right now I’m robbing the thief and F&&&&&& the rapist, This is Remy straight on the rocks with nothing to chase it, I’m a new breed of female, far from the basic and if you still can’t see that, then you need to get Lasik..So close to the top I can taste it..” – Remy Ma, “Crazy”.

Yo, there is just something about Remy. Yeah pun intended as that is the name of Remy’s official debut album called THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT REMY: BASED ON A TRUE STORY. Speaking of Pun. Without Big Pun there would be no “Big Rem” as Remy sometimes refers to herself as. What Big Poppa was to Lil Kim is what Big Pun was to Remy Ma.

“Radio stations stop being rapper racist and region haters……This is Southern face it, If we are too simple then y’all don’t get the basics…” – Lil Wayne, “Shooters”.

Ever since Poison Clan and The Ghetto Boys dropped their fist albums, the South began its long climb towards hiphop respectability. Fast forward 15 years later and now the South is darn near the top region making hiphop thanks in part to super groups like Outkast, super soloists like Ludacris and the emergence of Louisiana super crews like the Cash Money Records crew.

“I need you….I need you to hate me…So I can use you for your energy”- 50 Cent, “Hustler’s Ambition”.

50 Cent has got to be the most hated man on the planet. In fact he’s probably more hated than Kobe Bryant and that’s saying a lot. So of course when 50 Cent’s movie Get Rich or Die Trying came out along with the sneaky good soundtrack of the same name, the usual derogatory comments started spewing out the mouths of the masses as usual.
